He pulled the chair for her to sit, Surya enjoyed being a gentleman, something that every man should be he thought, everybody in the hospital admired him for that, his aloofness and gentleman behavior were a sensation among the lady doctor's and nurses. He ordered two coffees and a sandwich which he didn't tell because he knew that she'd only refuse it, they sat there quietly sipping their coffee and he went to get the sandwich, which he kept at her side
"please, you shouldn't have" she refused politely "keeping your stomach empty will not be changing any of the events that happened today, I insist" he replied calmly, she almost hurriedly took the sandwich and started biting it, he looked at her contentedly, he got up saluting her,"will see you tomorrow" he walked away

Roshni woke up hoping this morning to be better and brighter than yesterday, she got ready quickly,she wore a pink and white chudidhar and went to the hospital, she wanted to discharge her father upon his request, he hated it
" pleas roshini let's go home, nobody can take bettef care of me than you dear" he spoke lying on his bed
"papa I've been waiting for the doctor, I'm taking you today" she caressed his hair softly. The nurse entered the room to give medicine, Roshni asked her "when can you discharge him sister?"
" the doctor has to tell ma,since it's Sunday the duty doctor will come in an hour ", the father and daughter duo were waiting impatiently to be discharged, the door to their room pushed open by a hand wearing steel watch and it was the doctor who she met yesterday, his face flashing with a bright smile, as he waved his head to the staff outside. He was a tall man with wheatish complexion, his eyes were two black orbs close set, his lips were full; lower lips thick,above it was his sharp nose a little long. Every thing was a blur for her yesterday, she turned around to pour juice for her father, thinking if this was the doctor who helped her yesterday
Mr. Arwind questioned the doctor "please doctor, release me from this jail"
The doctor laughed to this, his smooth laughter resonating , which made her turn around to watch and she saw a happy doctor in a fit of laughter, his voice smooth as a pearl rolling in a marble floor, the moment she turned around his heart went for a somersault " ofcourse sir, I'll dis- charge yo-u today" this new habit of stammering in front of a beautiful girl sucked clearly he thought , clearing his throat he continued
"at my own risk because this hospital has strict rules but I can surely bend them for you" he finished his gaze was set on the girl holding a glass standing next to his patient, this feeling of euphoric sensation, he liked it, it's better than the girls he ever dated or all the girls that fell for him. After all the formalities were done he called in Roshni to discuss something.
"Please take a seat miss -" holding a hand towards the seat he smiled
" Roshni" she replied politely
What a nice name he thought , it's just a name like your's Surya stop being a cliche he scolded himself. " well normally we make our patients stay atleast three days and your dad has had an attack, ofcourse it's minor" all the while he looked down at the report as not to stutter or get distracted by her " so it's mandatory for you bring him for check up tomorrow but it'll only tire him up, can't he stay for another day? " so that I can get to see you for another day, well that's one of the reasons for him which he couldn't blurt out
" well doctor you're seeing how he repels hospital and staying here is a nightmare for him, we have our own family doctor who'll come home to check him up if it's fine with you "
" mmm, it would be better if someone from our hospital comes, better that I come" he was more than happy with his own idea which he hid, keeping his face more serious and his eyes stern he looked up
" ofcourse doctor, but you'd be busy"
" well I'll try my best to come tomorrow or if not, you can bring him for check up" he handed over the files to her and that was the end of their conversation, his plan did sure come up well except he convinced himself that he didn't plan anything, it all just happened or maybe it was really a coincidence.

Surya was busy checking a patient's report when his phone rang, he attended the call and it was Roshni, "hello"
" H-hello " he hated this starting trouble
" sorry to be disturbing you but I just wanted to know if anyone is coming or shall we come there "
" ouh yea, I was just going to come there after my shift. C-can you please message me your address "
