PART 4 

The next few days went very fast. It being their first week at the hospital all the interns had a hard time getting used to the new environment, adjusting with the hectic duty schedules.

Once they finished their duty, everyone used to rush back home to get some rest- no exception being Santhosh and Rishika.

They never got much free time, but whenever they had some time, Santhosh left no stone unturned in teasing Rishika, which only annoyed her more.

Rishika, being a reserved person, found good friends in Meera and Rahul. And Santhosh? Only God knows how she tolerated him in the hospital.

She has almost grown allergetic to him. Santhosh, on the other hand, being a cheerful one, mingled with everyone easily. Soon Santhosh, Meera and Rahul formed the most happening gang at the hospital, while Rishika had no choice but to join them.

It was Saturday evening and a half at the hospital. So Rishika went to the novelty shop near her house to buy something for Meera, whose birthday is in a few days.

She picked up a huge teddy. She asked the helper to pack it and went to have a look at others as she was told that packing would take some time.

Rishika noticed her mobile vibrating and took it out of her purse. She looked at the person calling and felt her heartbeat rise frantically. "Yes dad……I am at the shop…….. Yeah you may pick me up in an hour." She replied holding her breath and sighed as the call was disconnected.

Rishika was lost in her world as she walked straight and bumped into a person. Rishika closed her eyes brushing her forehead, taking a step back. Before she could mumble a sorry, she heard the person's voice.

"Careful Basket. Let the people live" Her eyes popped out and she looked at him. He stood there grinning at her, rubbing his chin, where her forehead hit him.

"Santhosh?" she screamed in surprise.
"Woah Basket! Chill ! I am not any ghost." he said smiling inwardly.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she asked quite irritated with his presence, and immediately bit her lips thinking 'What a stupid question it was?'

"Oh I was here for dancing. Want to join me?" he sounded quite serious while offering her his hand.

She shot him a dirty look and walked past him. But he rushed and stood infront of her blocking her way.

"Sorry Basket. I thought this shop is open for humans, else I wouldn't have come here."
It took a moment for her to understand what he meant and her eyes widened in shock "What do you mean?" she moved a step closer to him, as if threatening him, with her hands on both sides of her waist.

"Basket, I have no problem romancing you. But I am afraid this is a public place." He whispered, winking at her, to which she only turned red, with her mouth open.

She suddenly noticed that their bodies are only few inches apart and backed away. "You are disgusting" she muttered under her breath and tried to move away.

Santhosh blocked her way once again. "OK. Peace. If you are free, why don't you help me in picking a gift for Meera." He said and paused as she frowned. "Actually I am not understanding what to present her with."

"I am not free. So choose it yourself. Now get out of my way." She said quite irritated.

"Oh come on Basket! Pleeeeeeaaaaasssssseeeee" he dragged the word which only irritated her more.
