Chef's Kiss

13. Scandal

Vijay was slowly coming towards me his eyes fixed on me , he went on his knees and forwarded his hands to me,"Dance". My hand automatically went to his hand , he got up one hand holding my hand and another on my waist , I also kept mine on his shoulder. The spot light focused on us , the music began , it was my favourite song 'Janam Janam ' . We danced matching every beat, throughout the song Vijay's eyes were fixed on me as if he was seeing through my soul. 

From our  first meeting till now I always felt a weird warmth in him , the warmth I always searched  for 18 years . He unknowingly felt like the person who I know for a very long time . All these was going on my mind , when Vijay's right hand traveled from my waist to the my back and his hold on my other hand grew firm and to match his action I also held him tightly and on my toes I stretched  my head outward , the song ended and we made a beautiful , elegant ending. The hall got filled  with the sound of claps and praises . He helped me on my feet and I was going to step away when he held my hand , pulled me closer and before anything registered to me he placed his lips on mine .

THUDD............ "OUCH, hye ram , ufff....." , I yelled touching my waist which just got hit by the cold floor. I looked around to find myself in my hospital cabin lying in the ground I just fell from the couch while sleeping , wait a sec WAs..... I...... Holy fucking fuck....... I was dreaming about Vijay that also him kissing me I must be no..no.. I am definitely out of my mind. I stood up from the couch with the help of the couch's edge  and sat on it a sharp pain on my hip made me hiss. I checked my phone for the time it was  5  in the morning , last night  I left the party  with an excuse of work , at first Riya was not ready to leave me but eventually understood and left my hand. My small encounter in the garden with Vijay got a little awkward until he suddenly said I was checking him out , which I was but he didn't have to say out loud and showoff cause he did exactly the same with me when I entered the party but when he leaned closer and whispered in my ear I forgot to breathe .

 " Don't play with fire love if you are afraid of burns ." 

His words made my cheek heated . What the fuck did I get turned on by some  words ... I have officially gone mad . Shoving all these on the back of my head and decided to study my patients history that I have to operate on today.  

In the Ot 

" Can you complete the rest ?" I looked at the resident who was my assistant today , he replied in a nod . I then left the room , got rid of my apron and checked my phone , it had almost 5 missed calls from professor and 4 from one unknown person. I quickly dailed professors number and he picked up in the first ring. " Hello! professor you called ." "Yess Amrita can you come to your cabin right now it's important ", a serious voice came from his side. I  said a yes and hurried to the cabin cause professor would not have called me if it was not so important.

I practically ran to my cabin , the door was slightly open and I could see professor through the gap, but... but he was not alone there was someone with him . Without wasting my time I went in, " Good morning professor ...What the ..........," I was right someone was with him but that person is Vijay, he was siting and beside him sat another person he felt familiar . Why was he here in my cabin? OMG . did something happen to Riya? 

" Is everything fine sir , is Riya okay ?" I asked impatiently .  Professor got up and placed a hand on my shoulder," Riya is fine Amrita , it's just Vijay has something to discuss with so I helped him to contact you." He then turned to Vijay whose expression was little tensed," Vijay beta talk with her and I think everything will be fine ."  He then smiled at me and left .

Godd it's awkward. I brought my chair closer and sat on it , my entire action was noted by Vijay's cold ice eyes. I decided to break the ice ," So what did you want to talk about I have only 1 hour before my another surgery  so it will better if we finish early." "Who sent you ?" he asked with coldness in his voice , his voice was enough to send chills down anybody's spine . " I am sorry what?

" I don't like to beat around the bush Ms. Amrita Roy , so tell me at once who asked you to post the  article or I have to use other ways and trust me you won't like that", he continued his voice as intimidating as before . But the problem is I don't understand a word of what he is saying . " Can you speak human language , cause I can't understand the gibberish you said just now and one sec what article have I posted? I was way to busy to post anything today ." 

He looked at me confusedly and then took out a tablet and kept in front of me . I took the tablet and what I saw made me shocked and angry all at the same time . There was a article with my and Vijay's picture , when he leaned towards me and the angle was pretty dramatic cause it seemed  we were making out which was absolutely something we were not doing, but the headlines of the article made my blood boil.

'A slut got caught in the camera while seducing a rich millionare single dad'

"So will you tell me now who told you to do this , you know how important deals I have in my hand one wrong news can cost me my deal and I will not spare you if something happens to my deals so you better speak up..." "ARE....YOU..KIDDING me , for god sake Mr. Thakur the world doesn't revolve around you ", I stood up from my place with my blood boiling I continued in a little higher voice than my normal, " You are here telling me that I took a picture and posted an article and not only that I also called myself a slut in that very article . Not any sane person in the world would do that and how would I know you would come in the garden and I definitely  don't remember telling you to lean over me so why the fuck are you blaming me . And for your kind information you only is not hampered in this I also have reputation in the medical world , there are many juniors , nurses , VIP's and numerous patient under me , so you are not the only victim I am too ."

I said all these in one go so by the time I  finished my throat was dry as dessert . Vijay during the entire time listened me talk and kept a blank expression unlike the one sitting beside him , whose expression told he just saw a volcano erupt. Vijay got up from his seat and was about to open his mouth when somebody entered the cabin.

Mrs. Neelima Thakur entered , okay this what we call  'lag gai'. She commanded Vijay to leave the room at first Vijay refused but a look from his mom he went out the cabin in lightning speed . And it's me and The Mrs. of Thakur family. God could this day get anymore stressful.
