A/N : How's the new cover? PLease do vote and comment.

"How's he, Doctor?" Raj asked instantaneously as the doctor exited the nurse room' Ishita too looked at the Doctor curiously.

"There's nothing to worry, it's because of the increasing humidity," Doctor replied smiling.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. "Doctor, can we meet him?" Raj asked hopefully. "Sure" He nodded.

"Please continue people, I have a call to make, please excuse me," Ishita said walked away. Raj knew this would be her reaction, he smiled to himself.

Veer's POV

"Gooooo..... Pokémon!" I exclaimed frantically playing Pokémon Go, Oh God this game, though!

Hearing the door creak open, I slid my phone under the blanket and lay down immediately.

It was Raj. "Bro, how are you feeling, better?" He asked worriedly. A smiled formed on my lips, this guy! I suddenly felt guilty for acting sick.

"Bet---bette----better" I replied faking tiredness, he just nodded.

Others too had started coming in showing the courtesy to meet a sick person. Except Ishita, it wasn't as if I was expecting her to come or something. It's just....seee how stubborn headed girl she is! I saved her today or else she would have been here, ungrateful creature. I hate her.

@Ishita's Cabin

Ishita's POV

This guy has been in the office for only two days and has already started creating a ruckus. I sighed.

There was a knock on the door, "Come in" I replied.

"Hey" It was Raj. I smiled in reply.

"It's been long, isn't it?" He asked adjusting himself on the chair opposite to me.

"5 years to be precise." I kept my elbows on the table and rested my chin above it.

"Well, that's something I didn't expect from you. You remember things, don't you? Unlike Veer, who's been living in oblivion."

I laughed, "Our conversations were much better years ago. Now it always ends up on either me or Veer."

Raj fiddled the paper weight laughing "True that. So, how's life?"

"Better than the previous time you saw me."

"A lot has happened" He took a deep breath as if recalling something "But, you need not act so cold. Every moment I see you like this, it pains Ishita, I hold myself responsible too." He completed, honestly it only increased my respect for Raj.

My eyes were fixed on the glass table, mentally framing my words I had to speak. "Raj, you are Veer's friend, someone he counts on, yet when all the chaos happened you took a stand for me, I appreciate it." I could see him smile, while I continued "But, being cool, I can't help it; that's what I have become. Log ek pal mein badal jate hain, paanchal saal tho bahut badi waqt hain. Mein bhi badal gayi hoon, ab pehle jaise nahi hosakti."

"I understand" he nodded. "I wanted to meet you because I wanted to apologize" I gave him a puzzled look, "for his behavior" Raj added.

"Usne jo kuch bhi kiya woh bachpanai hain, I'm sorry for it" Raj spoke again.

"Usne aaj tak wahi karte aa rahe hain, agar woh aaj maturely behave kiya hota toh mein shayad shock hoti, but this so typical him!" I shrugged.

Raj laughed "But don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't create the anymore scene. And that's a promise."
