Its almost one & a half day since.
Dr.Horance invited us to the function. I took off for a few days because of my injury but today is the function so i'll have to go. Also they asked for the family so i called my parents to join me but my father & my brother are busy with their business hence my mum will join me there at the venue directly.
Trisha has got a rent house but she isn't shifting there as she is helping me to recover, honestly i don't want her to move because she has became a part of my life, i will feel left out without her.
In this off days ,i have told her the whole episode which happened to me that day , & she told me that this is the right time i can confess my feelings to him. Also again, she asked me about his marriage but like every other day i avoided her.
Maybe if today we'll meet, i will ask him indirectly.

It's 8:00 pm , & i am almost ready for the party, wearing a short off- white midi frock with high heels & black pearl earrings.
This is the first time i am wearing something very unprofessional in FMS functions , generally i wear trousers & shirt with black jacket but this time He will notice me so why not.
Trisha enters by wearing a black long bodycon dress.
"Omg, i think i am dreaming" she says.
I laugh.
"Miss professional is wearing something unprofessional today, how is this possible."
I blush.
"Oh, I know why , Rahul & all right" she teases me.
I nod. "But what about you, You are definitely going to kill someone today."
"Oh let it be now." she blushes
"I know Oliver right ?"
"Stop it now!"
"i think he is going to propose you today"
"Ya, i also think so." she says (Trisha's face is all red)
"Ok let's go now." i say.
(At the function)
It feels more like a party then a award ceremony. Champagnes, Speakers, Lighting, open rooftop and all giving me a party vibe.
"Where's Joyce aunty , she is coming right ?" Trisha asks me.
"Yes, she told me she'll directly join me here. what about your parents."
"Yup they are on the highway."
I hope she comes. (I continuously stare at the door waiting for two people)
"Hey let's go my parents have arrived." Trisha ask me to join her.
I interact with Trisha and her parents,(for almost an hour) as i have already met them two times, they know me very well. Her parents are genuinely sweet & soft spoken , i love them.
"Hey look at the door" Trisha asks me.
I look at the door & It is Rahul , he is looking so freaking handsome in those black shirt & trousers that i am going to faint.
Trisha holds me and whispers "Dont , Don't , come to your senses."
I nod.
He first met Dr.Horance and Dr.Mary & is talking to someone on the phone, Looking very nervous , his head is wrinkled.

The function starts.
I go and sit behind his couch. Trisha is sitting beside me. She elbows me & whispers "Hey why don't you sit beside him ?"
"But there's someone else sitting there" i softly say.
"Oh ok" she says.
(After few speeches on the stage)
Dr.Horance: This award goes to my excellent team , Justin was a rare case & without them it was almost impossible to save him.
(Thunderous applause from all of us)
Dr.Horance: Now i would like to invite, each member of my skilled surgeons one by one on the stage to receive this award.
(Each member goes to the stage one by one receive award & gives a small speech.)
Two members done, now it's my turn.
"Please welcome One of the best Cardio thoracic surgeon Dr.Diana , without whom Justin's heartbeat couldn't be revived."
(Claps on my way to stage)
"Thank you so much for giving me this honour, first i would like to thank Dr.Horance & my team (i look at him) without whom it couldn't happen.
Secondly Trisha , a perfect nurse & my closest friend who never stopped supporting me. (Trisha's eyes are watery , She gives me a flying kiss) & my family , who couldn't join me for some reason."
•By saying this i got down•
I try to find out my mom in the crowd behind but i couldn't. She didn't come today also, i don't know why she is always busy. I am not talking to her.
I am pessimist today.
I hear from the stage.
"Now please welcome Rahul Sharma, highly qualified Orthopaedic surgeon, who joined the bones of Justin."
As soon as I hear i started running towards the stage but it's not easy to go there again because there's this whole crowd which i have to clear again but i somehow do.
I am panting heavily standing in the middle front of the crowd.
He's saying "I am really thankful to Dr.Horance who helped me a lot & deemed me worth for Justin's case. Secondly my team (he looks at me, i am still panting ) who trusted me.
Last but not the least my family , (i smile) unfortunately my mum & dad couldn't be here today but (he hault for a second) my wife is here to give me moral support. ”
Everyone claps but i don't, i am stuck there. I can't digest what he said right now , he said wife. He is married! A drop of tear falls from my eye & i instantly turn back & start walking out. I don't want to stay here anymore. My excitement is over , my dreams are shattered.
