"Ma! Yeh waali saree bohot zyada bright nahin hai?" Sonakshi whined, trying to push the saree off her shoulders, where Asha had kept it, to see how it would suit her daughter.

Asha smacked Sonakshi's hand away.

"Chup kar Shona. Dekhne de mujhey! Zyada time nahin hai humarey paas!"

Sonakshi grumbled. But she stopped struggling and let her mother do what she wanted. What could she do? Everyone knew how mothers became when it came to their daughter's wedding.

Yes, that is exactly what was happening.

Sonakshi smiled at herself in the mirror. She was getting married.

Who's the lucky guy you ask?

Well it was this business tycoon who thought he could rule the world. But slowly came to realise that he couldn't rule the world without this particular doctor by his side.

Sonakshi laughed lightly when she remembered his absurd proposal.

**Flashback**

"Dr. Bose, kya sare patient reports review kar liya aapney?" Dr. Sinha asked Sonakshi.

He was the one organizing the board meeting with the head doctors of every department along with the board members to monitor if everything was going smoothly. Sonakshi nodded with a smile.

"Ji Dr. Sinha, yeh final patient ki report hai, jo maine abhi ready ki hai."

Actually, Sonakshi could have finished her reports much earlier. But her last patient was a difficult person to handle. He was a boy of twenty, fighting depression after having lost his elder sibling in a freak accident. Sonakshi had taken the longest time to get through to him.

In fact somebody had helped her get through to the boy.

Dev.

He had helped her a lot in that respect. Similar to Dev, this boy had somehow ended up blaming himself for his sibling's death. Only when Sonakshi made Dev talk to the boy, did he start talking to Sonakshi. But there was obviously a condition he put forward. It was pretty simple. She would have to bring Dev along. Surprisingly, Dev agreed without a word. In fact he seemed to almost enjoy helping the boy. And that warmed Sonakshi's heart.

So as the break through took time, so did the report. Sonakshi had finally managed to finish report that morning. She was pretty relieved and secretly wanted to hug the life out of Dev for helping out. But she would never tell him that. He would get too ahead of himself and demand things like a public kiss. Sonakshi could definitely entertain no such thing in the hospital.

She smiled thinking of Dev.

He could be such a kid sometimes.

Sonakshi bid farewell to Dr. Sinha promising to be on time at the meeting that evening, and made her way to her cabin. Midway, a nurse came running to her.

"Dr. Bose!"

Sonakshi turned to her, alert.

"Kya hua?"
