OBSESSION (COMPLETED)✔

CHAPTER 23

Fifteen minutes later,

'You will be discharged by next week, Mrs. Desai. You have take care of your health and I am giving you the diet chart. Follow them and the medicines that Dr. Shad had prescribed continue them.' Rhea instructed Mrs. Desai, who nodded. After talking to her, Rhea turned around and found Shad standing there watching her with a smile on his face. Rhea looked at him, a slight blush appears on her cheeks.

Shad then turned his attention towards Mrs. Desai, he advised her sweetly and she smiled nodding her head feeling little better.

'With a patient, you shouldn't talk with a scowl on your face. Have a smile' Shad advised Rhea after they had made Mrs. Desai comfortable and walked away from her bed.

Rhea nodded. Shad turned to walk towards Dr. Imran who is examining Mr. Khanna when Rhea called him. He turned around quickly

'How is Maam?' she asked sounding genuinely concerned. Shad assured her Eifad is fine, her burn luckily wasn't serious

Night, 9pm.

Shad spoke to Eifad on phone and assured if she is alright. She said she is fine and asked him to come for dinner. Shad had replied he will be there in half an hour.

He went to the ward to check on his patients, last minute routine checkup. He is surprised to see Rhea standing next to Mrs. Desai checking her reports. Shad stood there watching her. Rhea seemed to be completely into what she is doing. Her eye-brows furrowed, and a determination on her face. Shad envied the pencil that is stuck in between her lips as she read the notepad. Shad found it difficult to look away. Her dedication, her passion and beautiful face has blown Shad off his feet.

Rhea turned around and found Shad admiring her, he leaned against the door with his arms crossed against his chest. There is a twinkle in his eyes. Rhea's heart fluttered.

Shad walked towards her and she quickly composed her posture and removed the pencil from her mouth.

'So? How is everything?' Shad asked brightly.

Rhea nodded her head and started to brief him about the case. Shad listened to her carefully trying to pay attention to what she is saying rather than her gorgeous looks and moving lips.

'What you suggest, Doctor?' Rhea asked

'Huh...oh yeah!' Shad said snapping out of his trance. He took the notepad from Rhea and checked it before giving his opinion, Rhea listened to him intently grasping everything he is saying.

'How is Maam now?' Rhea asked as she and Shad made their way out of the hospital.

'She is fine, just minor burn' Shad informed. Rhea nodded her head, Shad then asked her what was she doing in Eifad's cabin and Rhea went on to tell that she was called in her cabin by Eifad herself.

'Honestly, she scared me....' Rhea concluded, she shivered little recollecting Eifad's menacing tone and how little inches apart she was standing next to her.

'She scares everyone' Shad joked and both started to laugh.

Rhea then asked how he is going home to which Shad replied he will take a cab.

Rhea offered him a lift in her scooty and Shad agreed, he couldn't have refused. She lead him to her scooty.

'You brought this yourself?' Shad asked amused as he goes around looking at the scooty. Rhea beamed nodding her head. Shad is impressed. Rhea sat on the scooty and wore her helmet

'Come, sit' she said buckling her helmet. Shad smiled and climbed on the scooty behind her. He is hesitant to keep his hands on her shoulder but as Rhea started her scooty reflexively Shad placed his hand on her shoulder. Rhea shivered little with his touch, an electric jolt ran through her spine. She shook her head to push behind the thought. Shad kept staring at the back of her helmet with a dreamy smile on his face. Rhea started to speak about everything Eifad had said in detail but Shad wasn't listening he is lost in the moment.

'You live here!' Rhea exclaimed amazed as she parked her scooty outside very posh apartments. Shad smiled shaking his head

'No! I am not that rich (he chuckled) my friend stays here...Eifad' Shad said and Rhea's mouth dropped open. Oh God! Shad and Eifad are friends; Rhea didn't know that and God knows what she blabbered about her to him. What if Shad tells her everything, she is a goner. Rhea gulped. Shad smiled seeing her horrified expressions

'Don't worry I won't tell her anything' Shad said smiling and Rhea sighed in relieve.

'Good night' Shad said flashing his dimpled smile, Rhea smiled silly, his charming dimpled smile is becoming her biggest weakness

'Go-Good-night!' she stammered. Shad took few steps back looking at Rhea who sat on her bike staring back at him. Both are having a tough time looking away.
