swasan... i do... (Completed)

chap 1-scoldings

Morning rays touched the beautiful eyes of a girl sleeping in her room. She opened her eyes slowly to have a look at her room. The light pink curtains on the window were not able to protect her from the sunshine coming from glass window. The satin bedsheet and warm comforter was very inviting to have another nap. The luxorious room was trying to stop her from stepping out of it. Suddenly her phone rang. Ragini calling.
Swara: ragu... itni subah...
Ragini: happy birthday swara... happiest happiest happiest birthday.
There wasn't any smile on swara's face.
Swara: thx ragu... chlo i ll meet you in the evening.
Swara hang up the call. She then looked out of window. She let out a sigh. She was 27 year old today. 27 years since her ma died. Nobody loves her in her so called house. Had ram uncle and sujata aunty not been there her so called parents would definitely have sold her to a brothel. But this struggle had made her strong. She was in her final year pg. All due to her hardwork.

She took bath and got ready in white and orange kurta. A small bindi on her forehead and kajal. She tied her hair in ponytail. She stepped out of her room. There she saw her so called parents shekhar and janki chit chatting.
Janki: are swara... its your birthday. Happy birthday beta.
Shekhar: janki.. dont you remember.. sharmishtha died on same day. Its not happy birthday.
Swara ignored their words. She was habitual of everything. She sat on dining table and had breakfast amidst taunts. This was her daily routein.

Swara entered hospital to check duties. Thank god it was her night duty. She hated to see the faces of shekhar and janki and made a lot of effort not to see them often. Since childhood she was devoid of love. It was her nanny who was with her always trying to give mother's love to her. But she also passed away 5 years back. Since then swara became more quite. She used to talk less. But she used to smile often. Laksh and ragini were the support system who were always with her.

She entered the icu. She looked at those walls and patients. Some were dying. Some of them were in coma. But maximum of them were alive and were about to be discharged. Swara checked every patient one by one. Suddenly a nurse came.
Nurse: mam... dr sanskar maheshwari wanted to take a one hour lecture of your batch. Can you please inform them all.
Lecture... just after hearing this word swara's eyes rolled. She nodded.
Juat after 15 min all the 8 students of her batch and branch were sitting in demo room. Some were sitting with notebook and some were sitting with lots of books. Swara was sitting on the chair when someone slapped her hard. Swara looked at the direction and frowned.
Swara: laksh k bachhe..
She hit laksh hard again.
Laksh: moti.... happy birthday .... abhi 26 aur baki hain.
He again punched her. Their cat fight began. Soon both were panting with sweat.
Swara: your brother na... till now he was in mumbai... never showed his face... and now when he came ... directly lecture.
Laksh: lecture... giving long lectures is his favourite hobby. Abhi mai b ghr se sun k aa rha.
Swara laughed hard. Suddenly everyone stood up. A man came in inside the room. Dressed in a white and blue shirt with blue trousers and a white lab coat with stethoscope around his neck he was stunning in every aspect. He was Dr Sanskar.
Sanskar: sit.
Everybody sat. Sanskar looked at everybody. His stare was cold.
Sanskar: who has duty in icu?
Swara stood up.
Sanskar: your name.
Swara: swara bose sir...
Sanskar: dr bose... so one of your patient is of haemorrhage. Tell me his history.
Swara: sir i didnt..
Sanskar frowned. Swara flinched.
Sanskar: you didnt..
Swara: her wife told me ..
Sanskar: WHO ON EARTH MADE YOU WEAR THIS LAB COAT AND STETHOSCOPE WHEN YOU DONT EVEN KNOW THAT ONLY PATIENT CAN GIVE GOOD HISTORY... MBBS 2ND YEAR DR BOSE IF YOU REMEMBER.
Everybody widened their eyes. Swara was the topper of the batch and nobody expected she could be scolded this way. Swara lowered her eyes and cursed him under her breathe.
Sanskar: get out of the class dr bose and take history of every patient of icu and all the medicine ward. I want each and every word to be perfect.
Swara looked at him in amazement.
Swara: sir... all the...
Sanskar: yes... there are exactly 297 patients under medicine department. I want 297 pages to be ready before you leave.
Swara took her beg and moved out. What could be a better birthday then this.

It was 8:00 p.m. in evening. Swara was still taking history of patients. Completely exhauated she penned down the history of last patient. She was cursing dr sanskar under her breathe. Suddenly she got a call.
Swara:ragu...
Ragini: again late... i just wanted 1 hour na.
Swara: sry yr... i ll tell you everything. Ahhh...this dr sanskar...
"Dr bose" he heard the voice. She turned back. Sanskar was standing right in front of her.
Sanskar: if you are finished with cursing me and chit chatting with your friends then let me remind you about morning's work. I know it's not yet been completed.
Swara stared at him.
Swara: its done sir...
Sanskar: done... what...
He took her file and started to check. There were two pages dedicated to every patient. Sanskar looked at swara in disbelief.
Sanskar: who helped you?
Swara: noone sir.
Sanskar checked history again. He counted the number of patients and a smirk ran on his lips.
Sanskar: i told you .... work is incomplete. There are 296 patients mentioned. I told you 297.
Swara looked at sanskar. Can this man ever appreciate anyone.
Swara: sir.. that patient is same case of haemmorrhage that i took in morning. You only clearly ordered to take history from patient. And a comatosed patient cant give history.
Swara was damn irritated.
Sanskar: comatosed?
Swara: yes sir... before i could tell you this in morning you threw me out of the class.
Swara smiled. Sanskar frowned. This girl on their first day only has hurt his ego.
Sanskar: never... i repeat never ever try to outsmart dr sanskar. Got it. Three night duties this month.This is your punishment.
Swara's lips opened to say something. How could he do this. Three night duties. This is not done.
Swara: sir...
Sanskar: 4 night duties
Swara: but
Sanskar: 5 night duties..
Swara: sir... at least let me...
Sanskar: i week miss bose and thats final. Any more words.
Swara gulped. Sanskar smirked.

@cafeteria
Swara was sitting with laksh with a coffee.
Swara: your brother... laksh.. tell me.. are you adopted?
Laksh laughed
Laksh: why?
Swara: because your brother is a monster and you are a human. 7 days night duty. How can i?
Laksh: yeah... he is a bit strict at times but he .
He suddenly saw swara's face red with anger.
Laksh: ok... he is very strict. But he loves me a lot. Actually i am very close to him. Actually what to say. My whole family loves me a lot.
Swara smiled.
Swara: it must feel good when your family loves you.
Laksh stopped suddenly. He looked in swara's eyes.
Swara: nah.. continue. At least i can listen what it feels to have a good family.
Laksh patted her shoulders.
Laksh: swara...
He was at lack of words. Suddenly swara's cell phone rang.
Swara: gonna go now. Meet you tommorrow.
Laksh smiled watching her going out of canteen. Suddenly he felt a pat on his head. He looked. Sanskar was staring at him.
Laksh: bhaiya... i mean sir... i mean bhaiya..
Sanskar sat in front of him.
Sanskar: that girl... your friend?
Laksh nodded. Sanskar raised his one eyebrow putting a questioning expression on his face
Laksh: no no... no bhaiya.. not that way. I consider her as my sister.
Sanskar smiled.
Laksh: bhaiya... she is a brilliant student.
Sanskar: yes in deed. I saw that in this.
He showed him the file.
Laksh: and you gave her another punishment.
Sanskar: yes... in deed.
Laksh: but why?
Sanskar: coal becomes diamond when it experiences pressure. But a diamond becomes kohinoor when it experiences friction. Same case.
Laksh smiled.
Laksh: but today... it's her birthday.
Sanskar stopped gulping his coffee in middle.
Laksh: yes...
A serious expression came on sanskar's face.
Sanskar: the day we become doctor we dedicate our lives to our patients. And death does not know the meaning of birthdays. She is a bright student. Fearless too. But she needs to practise more.
Laksh: yeah... but if i know my brother enough then definitely she has hurt your ego.
Sanskar stood up at once.
Sanskar: do you want night duties too.
Laksh stood up with crying expressions.
Laksh: bhaiya... i have finished all my night duties. Please dont..
Sanskar: then dont ever take her side in front of me.

Precap
Emergency in hospital. Swara's fearlessness attracts sanskar.
