Love finds it's way

Chapter 11: Begin again

It cannot be aarav. Aarav panics a lot and also he's shit scared of blood. So what would he have to do in a medical camp. Nothing. And how did I know that he's scared of blood and that he panics a lot ? Well....

Flashback

We were playing a game where we had to confess somethings. Sitting on the terrace, occasionally looking at the stars through the telescope, we were having a great time. Just the two of us. Just the simple Aarav and Aarushi.

"Come on aarav. Man up. Tell me what you were saying. What were you saying about the first time we spoke? Tell dude."

"Okay okay. But don't laugh okay ?"

"Yeah okay!"

"So do you remember that day, I asked you to do the first aid?"

"Yeah. You told me to because you were carrying the girl and couldn't put her down as she was crying right?"

"Well... Not actually. In Fact the girl was crying because she wanted to get out of my arms. The thing is I'm kinda scared of blood. It's like I'm not actually scared but I panic a lot"

"Holy shit! So the girl wanted you to put her down and that's why she was crying but you are so scared of blood that you couldn't do the first aid and to prevent Any questioning, you said that she wasn't ready to leave you OMG!"

"Shut up dude. I'm not scared or anything, I just tend to panic a lot."

"Yah sure. You're such a baby Aarav. I'm going to tell this to everyone."

"You wouldn't." He said hesitantly.

I smirked, "Try me."

And I ran towards the exit while laughing uncontrollably but Aarav managed to catch me and then he used his most deadly weapon, he threatened to tickle me. And also that he would leak one of my secrets which made me give up.

End of flashback

I smiled at that memory. He isn't there with me but his memories are. Infact I know for a fact that k wouldn't be able to forget a single moment I spent with him. He was that special to me. We were all happy but then.........

"Aarushi! Come let's head to the camp."

Ayaan called out for me.

He actually isn't that bad. I mean I spent a lot of time with him today while setting some stuff at the camp and I realized that when I am with him, I smile genuinely or glare genuinely or roll my eyes genuinely. Haha. I mean that I don't force myself to do something when I'm with him.

Also, I saw a new side side of Ayaan today. I always thought he is a carefree, irresponsible, jobless and jovial, irritating and a straight forward person . So, I never expected him to be someone who's going through such rough shit.

We were talking casually about our lives when he told me that he had been pushed into this stream. He was being forced to study medicine Where on the other side he wanted to become an astro physician. But then when he said that he started looking at this form a different point of view, that he's glad he's being able to help so many people around him, the respect I had for him, raised.

I strongly believed the saying, "do what you love or love what you do."

I've seen many who went against their parents and did what they loved but then this guy started putting in an effort at least to love what he does. Not everyone can do it.

He caught me off guard when he suddenly asked me  

"Aarushi, did you ever love someone? "

I went blank. Why is everyone reminding me about Aarav since morning! Kaira told me to move on , that phone call , and now Ayaan?"

"Aarushi ............ Are you okay? I'm very sorry if you are offened by my question."

"No Ayaan. It's alright. Waittt....... is it raining?!"

"Yeah, You go and stand there .... I'll be back with 2 cups of coffee."

"Thank you."

"No problem babe .... I'll be right back
Wait for me."

This guy can never change ....... 

I walked towards the end of the camp , when I saw I guy with his back towards me, playing cricket with the younger children in the rain. I remembered how Aarav and I meet each other five years back.

I was trying to hold back my tears . I couldn't see that , I don't wanna remember him . I'm over him , I don't wanna see his face never ever in my life . Thinking that and reassuring myself I went back to my desk.

Ayaan handed me my coffee and walked out to take an important call. So I got myself busy in arranging some medicines and stuff.

After sometime I heard a cry. Before I could check where it was coming from , suddenly  a guy made a child sit on my desk .

"Doctor he fell down while playing cricket. He hurt himself badly and isn't stopping his cry."

Aarav.

No it can't be him , I didn't even try to see that guy's face, I had to check the child first .

"Don't worry , everything will be fine " .

While doing the dressing I said to the child "Sweetie, don't be scared . Nothing will happen to you, it is just a small hurt."

"But it hurts a lot."

"No problem sweetie .... You are a brave boy right?"

"Yeahh"..

" Then stop crying .... Wait I'll give you a chocolate  , do you like silk ... It's my favourite chocolate " . Making the child engaged I finished his dressing.

"So what's your name " I asked the child

"Randeep. What's your name ?"

"Nice. I'm Aarushi. Randeep you are alright now. But you have to come to me tomorrow so that I can change your dressing and give you some other medicines if required."

" Okay. I'll come tomorrow, thank you!"

Randeep then jumped from my desk and ran away. I smiled at his retreating figure. How I wish I could relive my childhood days. I took my seat and was looking for the Medicines while addressing that guy.

"I'll just give two tablets now as you have to bring him back tomorrow. I'll do a proper examination and give the rest of the medicines tomorrow. He's absolutely fine so don't worry."

"How are you Aarushi?"

I froze. I knew who it was and to confirm my suspicions, I slowly lifted my head. Yes, It was him who was standing in front of me with a smile on his face.

"Aarav."

I whispered, barely audible.

What was he doing here?

Why him?

Why him now?
