11.Awestruck

Aditya left and reached his clinic. There he found a group of interns giggling and talking to Zoya. He went closer and he could hear them saying "Zoya, you got married to Dr.Hooda, did you plan this ?"
Zoya rolled her eyes and then they said "Is that why you are completing your internship so late, so that you could marry him ?"
Zoya said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Yes exactly. Humne teen saal MBBS ke entrance ke liye prepare karne ke liye nhi liye the, humne toh shaadi plan karne ke liye the. And see I succeeded. I am such an amazing gamer, maybe the RAW will hire me now."
Aditya hid a smile as he heard Zoya's sarcastic reply and went to his chamber. Zoya also left the group and went to work.
Soon it was time for the interns to go for their daily round with Aditya.
Aditya looked at Zoya and his eyes stopped on the golden and black beaded locket that she was wearing. It again hit him that Zoya was not just his intern but also his wife. He looked away from her. Working with your wife who was just your intern two days ago was very awkward indeed.
Zoya on the other hand pretended as if nothing had changed. She was more or less the same and she didn't even fidget for a second when Aditya asked her a question about the diagnosis of a patient and others smirked at each other. Aditya was left impressed with the way Zoya was handling the situation.
Soon the round was over and Aditya asked an intern, Dr.Arora to collect the files which contained their diagnosis of the patients they were seeing and put it on his desk in the evening.
In the evening Dr.Arora entered his chamber to keep the files and Aditya asked her "Kis kis ki files hai yeh?"
Dr.Arora said "Sir, meri , Dr.Suman ki aur Mrs.Hooda ki. Dr.Kapoor misplaced her file hence couldn't submit it today."
Aditya said "Tumne last naam kiska liya ?"
Dr.Arora said "Dr.Kapoor ka."
Aditya said "Nhi usse pehle."
Dr.Arora gulped because Aditya's tone wasn't very pleasant and said "Mrs.Hooda. I meant , Dr, Mrs.Hooda."
Aditya said "You will call her Dr.Siddiquie. It's true that she is married to me but that doesn't mean you will rip her off her original identity. She is and she was Dr.Siddiquie. And tell your other friends as well, if I hear them troubling her by talking rubbish then I will personally see to it that they don't ever get a stable job for at least three years. Don't talk about things that you have no idea about. Now please leave my cabin."
Dr.Arora mumbled a small goodnight and left. She didn't spot Zoya outside the cabin. Zoya was amazed at Aditya's words and gestures. Just a few hours ago he was demeaning her and their relationship. And here he was taking a stand for her and actually blackmailing people so that they would not make things hard for her. She thought "Inke saath inka manual aata na toh bhi hum inhe nhi samajh paate."
She knocked at his door and heard him say come in.
She went in and Aditya looked up. She gave him a small smile which he didn't return. She said "Sir , yeh voh project hai jo aapne humein pehle din diya tha. Aapne kaha tha hum aapko at least 15/100 diseaes bhi diagnose karke aapke paas la paaye toh you will change your opinion about me. Now it isn't that I care about your words or your opinion, but since you had challenged me ,I bought this to you."
Aditya said "Theek hai , table pe rakh do."
She kept it and went out. Aditya took the file and saw though it. Zoya had managed to diagnose even the most difficult of diseases and had provided some alternatives which people knew only when they were in their post graduation. Aditya was again impressed by her and said to himself "Zoya mein dimag toh hai. Zoya jaisi bhi ho , as a doctor she is good."
He closed the file and saw the time. His work was over and it was time for him to leave. He left his cabin and went towards the lift. He saw Zoya there too. Both didn't say anything. They got in the lift and Zoya looked at her phone and Aditya became interested in his nails. Aditya thought in his head whether or not to tell Zoya what he thought of her as a doctor. Before he could reach a decision the lift door opened and they went out. They were surrounded by a commotion. Aditya said "Oh God, not again."
Zoya looked at him and said "Kya hua ?"
Aditya said "Yaad hai jis din Mri ko patthar laga tha? There were a group of people creating a ruckus because of a patient admitted here , well it's them again. Poora gang toh aaya nhi hai lekin the main member is here aur ab thodi der mein yahan phir se wahi haal hoga. I am tired of handling this situation."
Zoya said "Yeh konse patient hai aur yeh log kis haq se aise hospital mein tamasha kar rhe hai. Aap police ko kyun nhi bolte hai?"
Aditya said "Are bohot hi high profile case hai. These people are filthy rich and think they own the entire neighbourhood. Isliye police bhi kuch nhi karti. This guy's grandfather is in the ventilator and his chances of survival are very less. Ab inko yeh baat samajh nhi aati hai. Chalo dekhte hai ab kya naya tamasha kar rhe hai.'

Zoya nodded and followed him. Aditya asked the crowd to calm down and told the other doctors to go from there. He went to the guy and said "Aapko maine parson bhi kaha tha. Yeh hospital hai, aap apne dada ji se milne aaye lekin yeh roz ka tamasha mat kariye please."
The guy spat on Aditya's face and said "Farzi doctor. Uss machine ke andar ghusa ke rakha hai dadu ko. Theek toh voh ho nhi rahe hai lekin bill roz ka aa rha hai. Nhi theek kar sakta toh bol kyun nhi deta. Main isse bade hospital mein dikahoonga."
Aditya said "Unko move karenge toh jitna chance hai theek hone ka voh bhi nhi rahega."
The guy snarled and said "Tu hota kaun hai decide karne wala ki voh theek honge ya nhi. Tera kaam hai unko pehla jaisa karna aur agar nhi kar paaya toh tujhe aur yeh hospital dono ko jala doonga."
He pushed him and Aditya fell backwards but Zoya caught him. She beckoned him to move aside and went to speak to the guy. Aditya said "Zoya tumhe baat karne ki koi zaroorat nhi hai."
Zoya said nothing and approached the guy and pressed something cold and hard against his stomach and said in a cold and dangerous voice " Ek aur shabd apne iss ghatiya zabaan se nikala toh yeh bandook yehi chala denge. Kuch hoga nhi tumhe lekin dard bohot hoga. Itna dard ki tum seh nhi paaoge aur humare hi pair padoge ki tumhe theek kar de. Aur shayad tab humara man na kare tumhe theek karne ka. Ab suno apne yeh dono kaan khol ke. Tumhare dadu ventilator mein hai, unke jeene ke chances bohot kam hai but everyone is trying their level best to cure him. Lekin hum bhagwaan nhi hai ki unko maut se bacha kar le aayenge. Agar aisa hota na toh humara parivaar sabse pehle immortal hota. Now i understand you are worried about him but there is a decorum here. Either follow that or get out. Apne dada ji se milo, wakt bitaao aur shanti se chale jaao. Koi query ho toh poocho nhi toh chup rehne ki koshish karo. Apne iss gusse ko kaaboo mein rakho nhi toh agli baar hum bandook chalane se pehle tumhe poochenge nhi. Ab jaao idhar se."
That guy was stunned and in shock and so was Aditya. The guy mumbled "Sorry" and went from there.
Aditya continued being awestruck and then scared because his wife carried a gun with her. Zoya turned around and put the gun in her bag and saw Aditya staring at her. Aditya took a gulp of air and said weakly "Tum gun carry karti ho?"
Zoya said "Nakli hai. Bas confidence asli tha."
Aditya shook his head and said " Tum nakli gun carry karti ho,"
Zoya said "Aap bhi toh ek khaali dimag leke ghoomte hai. Usse zyada useful hai yeh."
Aditya laughed and seeing him laugh Zoya started laughing too.

Both of them saw a different shade of each other today and both of them were shocked. They were both crazy and flawed in their own beautiful
way.
