Love at the time of dentistry

Chapter-15

Manya was dreaming; she was feeling so warm and cozy. Somebody was nudging her awake gently. She didn't want to wake up; it felt so good just lying there dreaming. Somebody was whispering "wake up lazy bones" in her ears. She opened her eyes slowly; Ronit was looking at her lovingly, just like every morning. She smiled lazily at him; he kissed the corner of her eyes, "hey beautiful, time to wake up." "What are you doing, up so early?" she said, still feeling sleepy. "I wanted to get up before you so I can see you drool", he said lovingly. "I DO NOT DROOL" now she was wide awake. She tried to get up but Ronit gently pushed her back laughing, "Fine you don't drool but I like to see you all worked up in the morning, you look very pretty when you are angry you know". She settled back again on the pillows and looked up smiling at him. She still found it hard to believe she was with him; it was 2 years now that they have been together and it had been magical. Whatever she had with Sid, it was so much more with Ronit. She had never been so happy and contented in her life. Everything made sense in life now. "We better start getting ready if we don't want to be late for work" she said coming back from her dream world. "You can be a killjoy sometimes", he said kissing her lingeringly. She gently pushed him away, "We better get up"; she swung her legs on her side of the bed and grabbed one of his shirts lying on the chair. She got up and pulled her hair into a bun, Ronit was still lounging on the bed, propped up on the pillows, his hair messed up sexily and just a sheet covering him, tangled sexily around his legs, "God, you look so sexy just wearing my shirt" "hahaha very funny, now I am going to shower first, you hog it for hours" "We can always share the shower", he said getting up. "You stay where you are, you get a little too enthusiastic in the shower and I have my whole day packed today so I can't afford to be late today." She took a towel out from her cupboard and went inside the bathroom. Though they hadn't officially moved in together, Ronit spend most of the nights at Manya's apartment; it being close to the hospital and all that. While she was taking a shower, Ronit put on a Michael Jackson CD on the stereo. He knew she liked to hear to music while she was in the shower. As 'The way you make me feel' filled the air, Ronit put on his pants and went into the kitchen to start breakfast. By the time he started the coffee, Manya was out of the shower "Hey you started the coffee, that's so sweet, now go and get ready; I'll do the rest of the breakfast. He kissed her on the cheeks on his way to the shower and hurried to get ready. He had a big committee meeting today and he too can't be late today. They had breakfast together and then hurried out, she towards her car and he towards his bike. Though they haven't exactly hiding their relationship from anyone, they tended to keep it to themselves in the hospital. They parted ways outside his office before she remembered, "Hey don't forget we have to go to Anya's sangeet ceremony today, try to get off early today." "Do I have to", he lamented. "Hey, you are invited too; Anuj is your friend, don't you want to attend his function." "Fine, I'll be there but only because you said so." She just smiled and shook her head. As she was passing the reception, Laxmi stopped her, "Congratulations doctor for your wedding, I just got the invitation card today." "Not again Laxmi, you have been working here for 2 years and still you can't tell who is who." "Aiyyo Aiyyo, I am sorry doctor, I am not that good with names especially north Indian names", she said getting flustered. "It's fine; just tell me you didn't switch any patients today again, did you?" She got a guilty expression on her face and then got up hurriedly, "No, I didn't do any such thing, excuse me doctor I have something to take care off" and she hurried off towards one of the examination rooms. Manya could only shake her head and went inside her office. The rest of the day went uneventfully, thankfully. As she was getting ready to go out for lunch, she ran into Anya, "Hey, what are you doing here, shouldn't you be home today, I thought you took the day off?" "Yeah, I know, there was just some small crisis with one of my patients, nothing serious, so you are coming tonight?" "Do you even have to ask; of course I will be there. Is everything going smoothly?" "Yeah everything is working out smoothly; your sister is a gem, she didn't even let me lift a finger; everything is done and ready." "Well that's good, so do you have time for lunch I was just going to get some." "Yeah sure why not, I have time for a quick bite." They went to a nearby restaurant they usually went for lunch and ordered their usuals. "So tell me how are things with Mr. Hot wheels?" Anya asked. "I would really wish that you will stop calling him that; you know I found it weird when Rhea use to call him 'sex on wheels' back in college." Anya just laughed, "Yeah that was a funny name but strangely true, that still doesn't answer my question." "Everything is going just great, just the way I can wish for." "So what are future plans?" "Future plans? What future plans?" "You know future with him, where are you guys going, where is your relationship heading, plans like that." "Well we haven't talked about these things. We are happy with how things are right now." "Well you are happy now, what about 2 years from now? Do you want the same things then too? You don't want to be wasting your time in a relationship going nowhere." Anya said matter-of-factly. That got Manya thinking; Anya was right, she wanted more, sure she was very happy with the way things were, but she sure wanted a family in the future. She didn't know if Ronit wanted the same things or not; they had never talked about things like these. Manya realized that she now wanted more from their relationship than she had. "I know what you are saying is true but how do I know that Ronit wants the same things too; I can't force him into anything." "You will never know till you talk to him; guys don't just talk about these things on their own, you have to make them." Manya looked at her friend's confident expression and couldn't help but smile, "You are getting married and suddenly you are the expert on all things guy." "Well of course I am, I got Anuj to propose to me." "You got him to propose to you!! The poor guy was after marrying you from the moment you two met; he must have proposed a dozen times before you said yes; he was already crazy for you, you didn't have to do anything." "Okay so I didn't make him propose to me but I did hold on to him for a year, he didn't change his mind about marrying me." Anya said. "Well that sure is a feat; still wanting to marry you after knowing you for a year but we never know you still have 48 hours before your wedding, maybe he'll get lucky." "Watch it Roy, I can still cancel your invite."
