Hearts in Balance: A Tale of Business and Medicine

8. Little talk and a lot teasing!!

Hey Everyone! I'm back.

To all silent readers THANK YOU for reading the chapters, I'd appreciate it if you hit the star button to vote!

All Chawan members are trying to heal Aastha from that phase. In this journey, it's getting worse for her, all are around her all the time, because of her Virat, Samrat, and Mohit don't give proper time to their wives.

Anurag gets busy with his work and is updated about Aastha's schedule, her well-being, and everything else.

She still has severe panic attacks, and insomnia is still there but now she doesn't disturb Anurag, she has slight fever for the past 2-days but no one knows about it...

One night she was faint on her bed but no one knew about it. She woke up with a headache and sometimes she couldn't eat properly, she hardly had a bite and she started feeling nauseous.

It's been 3 days since Aastha revealed everything. Right now she is sitting in her cabin engrossed in her thought. She picked up her phone and dialed one number. Within 2 rings person picked up the phone.

On the other side of the phone: Hello!

Aastha: Hii, Can we meet?

Person: Okay, are you coming? or should I come over there?

Aastha: No...No we will meet at a cafe.

Person: Sure! We will meet at Amore cafe.

Aastha: Okay I'll reach there within 15 minutes.

Aastha came out of the cabin. As always Advik was there.

Aastha: Let's go Advik.

Advik followed her closely. Aastha was about to book a cab when a sleek BMW pulled up in front of her, the passenger side door swinging open. A young man sat inside, looking a bit anxious.

Young Man: Good morning, ma'am!

Aastha: (chuckling) It's afternoon, actually!

Young Man: (fumbling nervously) Oh, right—good afternoon!

Aastha: Good afternoon! Relax, why are you so tense? I promise I won't bite—I'm vegetarian, after all. She chuckled.

The young man managed a small smile.

Young Man: The car's been sent for you, ma'am. Shall we go?

Aastha: Okay.

Aastha settled into the car, and Advik followed in another vehicle. They soon arrived at Amore Cafe. Aastha stepped inside, feeling the cool air and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee envelop her.

She saw the whole cafe was empty and a man was sitting in a light-blue shirt and charcoal-grey pants, his back was facing her. Aastha reached near him.

Aastha: Thank You for coming!!

He faced her and smiled.

Person: Anytime Aastha! After all, you're my one and only friend.

Aastha: Thank You, Mr. Kapoor!

Anurag: Please have a seat, Aastha.

Aastha sat across from Anurag.

Anurag: What would you like to have, Aastha?

He gestured towards the menu on the table, his smile inviting and reassuring.

Aastha: Hmm, I could really use a good coffee right now. Maybe a cappuccino?
