The sun was brightly shining today and today was the day of his being discharged. According to doctors, he was now physically better. But he was still not talking to anyone. "As you know Dr. Bose, he needs care and rest," says the doctor patting her shoulder. She throws a faint smile at the doctor and enters his room.
He was sitting and staring at the wall. The moment she entered, his glance travelled towards her, and there.............. Silence. After quick eye contact, he removed his gaze to the floor.
"Dev" she calls.
"............."
"You've been discharged from the hospital...." Says she standing in front of him.
"............."
"Come..... Let's leave this prison-like hospital and we'll have tasty food for ourselves!!" she pretends to be happy.
His eyes were still blank and dried.
He slowly moved out of his bed and manage to stand.
"Come" she holds his hand and he suddenly detaches himself away, abruptly.
Flashback
"Damn Dev...... I'm all dirty with this mud and this rain. Ugh," Sonakshi fumes at the rain. Neither rain nor she liked each other ever. And this time she has slipped in the mud on the roadside.
Dev, who was laughing at her antics, imagined that it was only her with whom he can laugh badly. He was busy admiring her dirty state. While she was busy fuming at the rain.
"Come out," He says gesturing for her to hold his hand.
"Nope..... You will be dirty" she backs off.
"What nonsense!!" He chuckles.
"Yes...... You'll be dirty and I don't want you to be. So don't touch me till I clean myself"
Flashback ends.
"Dev....." she gasps as a watery layer brim in the corner of her eyes.
He doesn't speak anything, and neither his eyes were. His head was hung low.
"I can hold your hand Dev...." Says she holding his hand again.
But he removes it again, that too without even looking at her.
"Dev...." when she steps towards him he takes his steps back, abruptly.
"Dr. Bose, you still here!!" The doctor gasps getting inside the room. "Yes... Just...." she pecks a smile. And notices him carefully. He was glaring at the floor, his fingers were rubbing and twisted with each other, clearly showing his nervousness, fear and hesitation. He was scared of almost everyone.
"Dr Prakash, umm...... Yes....... We were leaving..... Give us a minute."
"Oh okay sure....." He leaves the room.
Flashback
"Okay fine Sonakshi now stop your drama, I have an idea"
"You think I'm doing drama? This bitchy rain has almost killed me..... Ugh." she pouts.
"Hold this," says he passing his handkerchief to her. "Hold this and come out."
"Okay okay fine..... Damn, there's no value in being caring.... I have such an attitude boyfriend!! Huh..... I'll see you bitchy rain" she fumes and her leg slips again. "Ouch"
"Come out if you're done...."
"Coming."
Flashback ends.
