Kanav's Pov

I descend to the living room while adjusting my watch. "Oh, what a pleasant surprise! Bhai, are you not going to the police station?"

"No, I have a night shift today," he responds.

"But what will you do in the morning? Even Bhawna is not home today," I inquire.

He gives me a bored look and I retort  "What? Without Bhawna, can you stay the whole day?"

"I do talk to her, if not meet," He replied

I nod and pick up his omelette.

"Kanav," he frowns.

"Yours is a tastier omelette than mine, you can have this," I offer, passing him my plate.

"No one will love an animal like you," Bhai said in annoyance taking my omelette.

"Bhai, I am telling you, there will be someone who will love this 'animal'," I remark as I get up while eating.

"Sure, in your dreams," he exclaims as I pass him a flying kiss. "Love you, Bhai."

Driving to the hospital, I suddenly hear the ringtone on my phone. I glance at the screen and see that it's my old school friend, Hriday, calling.

"Hey, Hriday."

"What's going on, Kanav?" he sounds a bit sad.

"What happened?"

I received my mother's medical report, and unfortunately, it's not looking good," he said with a heavy heart.

"What do the reports say?" I asked with concern.

"It's showing signs of cancer," he disclosed, his voice filled with evident worry.

Feeling a mix of shock and concern, I closed my eyes briefly before springing into action. "Hriday, please come to the hospital. Let's meet in person. I know an oncologist who can help. You should meet him. His name is Agastya.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Thank you so much, Agastya. Hriday is feeling really stressed right now, and I recommended that he reach out to you."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to take care of Aunty and do the checkup."

I smiled at his willingness to help. "By the way, are you planning to take a break? You know, with your brother's wedding coming up."

"Yeah, I will be taking a break. It's going to be so hectic, and I'm fully expecting to be loaded with responsibilities"

I chuckle "But for now I know you are getting symptoms of Love !"

He said Nothing "Kanav, Please give your friend my number, when he comes!"

He laughed "Agastya the Shyness overtook you to divert the topic, do you know girls are mad over boys who blush? They melt for such boys!"

"So When are you gonna blush?"

I snort a confident laugh "Only my looks are enough"

He laughed and I joined in "It is true for your brother but you...I doubt!"

"Bhaiya is married now and so deep in love with Bhawna that he never looked at anyone once he saw her...You remember that Dialogue from Stree movie?"

He chuckles "Yeah!"

Then we both continue "Love at first eyesight" We laugh and continue saying some more dialogue, ending the conversation later.

I inhale deeply, steadying myself for the task ahead. "Kanav, let's get back to work," I say. I signal to the nurse to begin ushering in the patients, one at a time.
