21 Days Of Marriage

DAY 1

   10:32 AM     

              [A A R U S H I ]

I signed keeping my head on the office table. My eyes are drooping, probably of yesterday's event. I am hell tired after recieving series of congratulations and wishes for my marriage that happened yesterday.

It was a simple court marriage with both of our families. Even though our parents wanted a grand wedding we wanted it to be simple, not in a posh way.

Karan gupta, my newly wed husband is a researcher in physics. According to him world is of made with limited possibilities.

My mom asked me to take leave from hospital for a few days since my marriage happened yesterday. She wants me settle down in the new home and be comfortable around them.

I am not even a fan of marriages. But my mother Mrs. Anita Gopan is keen to get me married as soon as possible. So i and karan met through our family friend.

And here i am as mrs Arushi karan Gupta a month later after meeting him. We haven't met or talked on a regular basis. Mostly i took initiative to invite him over to dinner or lunch, and all it was because of my mother forcing me.

"Smrithi i need another cup of coffee" i said placing the intercom in my ear.

I am a nutritionist in Medicare hospital and smriti is the new intern joined two months back under me.

Minutes later smrithi emerged in to the room with hot coffee.

"Ma'am this is the third coffee you are drinking in the past one hour. It will take toll on your body if you keep drinking" she said placing the cup on the table.

"I know. But my head feels like it will burst out now. I can't help but take it" i said taking the cup in my hands, blowing and taking sip simultaneously. A perfectly brewed coffee is what I needed at this time. My head is throbbing, like someone beating it with a hammer from inside.

" you are sleep deprived ma'am. I will free your schedule for two hours. You can take some rest in between" she said. There was a glint of teasing in her voice.

I have been getting this type of looks since morning, whenever i am yawning or stretching my body. I am not a fool to not understand the double meaning behind their thinking. But i wasn't falling for it though.

"I think you are so free when you are with me. Should I sign you away to Dr. Armaan." I sweetly said.

"I just remembered that I need to look into the file of bed no:25. I will get going " she said walking away briskly.

I chuckled at her reaction and walked towards the rest room for doctors to get some sleep.

7:02 PM

I parked my two wheeler on the parking lot after quite struggle. It took around thirty minutes to find our designated parking area.

I walked towards the elevator juggling with the case files. It was hand ful.

"Need any help?" I heard a voice as i waited for the elevator to open. I turned to face the owner of the voice.

A man, in his mid twenties came into my view. He wore a black sweatshirt paired with light blue jeans. He is stylish and wore a smile on his face. He has a charming smile, i must say.

"It's okay" i tried to protest but he beat me into it and took half of my files in his hand.

"Don't reject when a handsome guy is willing to help" he cheekily said. I smiled and entered into the lift followed by him.
