Swara was in her car on her way back to so called home after her night duty. She dreaded it the most. Suddenly her cell phone rang.
Swara: hello... ram uncle
Rp: good morning beta... me and sujata just returned from london. Sry... we were not able to wish you. Belated happy birthday beta.
Swara smiled.
Swara: thx a lot uncle.
Suddenly she applied breaks. A car was about to be knocked by her.
Swara: i ll call you later uncle.
She hung up the call and jumped outside. What she saw was the last thing she wanred to. The owner of car was standing outside of it with frown on his face.
Swara: good... good morning sanskar sir.
Sanskar frowned again. He looked at the scratch and then at swara.
Sanskar: oh.... i think you need coffee. Come to my cabin as soon as you come back after getting freshen up.
Swara gulped with fear.
Sanskar: you all are same. Spoiled brats of rich parents.
Swara gave a good glare to sanskar.
Sanskar: i am giving you 1 hour... its 7:30.. i want you in my cabin at 8:30. By hook or crook.
Swara: sir... i was on night duty...
Sanskar: 8:25
Swara: sir...
Sanskar: 8:20
Swara knew she should not say anything now.

@swara's home
Swara was getting out of that house hastily. She heard janki taunting her.
Janki: oh... look at the news in news paper. Girls go out in night telling their parents as night duty and work at bar... chi chi... swara beta... this should not be true na.
Swara turned around with a frown at her face.
Swara: do you want to beg on street? No na...
Janki sat on chair.
Swara: dont forget.... its because of my mercy you are here.
Swara turned her back. She was fierce. Nobody can taunt her. But below this layer of her rudeness there was a face. There was actual swara who always craved for love. She wanted to be loved. She always wanted her baba to be with her. She always wanted to sleep in her mothers lap. But this was not her destiny. Swara's eyes were moist when she reached sanskar's cabin. She entered.
Sanskar: dr bose
Swara: yes sir...
Sanskar: come... sit..
Swara was too amazed to see him talking this way.
Sanskar: sit i said ..
Swara sat on the chair in front of him. A cup of coffee was placed in front of her.
Sanskar: drink..
Swara's eyes widened.
Sanskar: you were already 32 seconds late dr bose. Now drink this and see your patients.
Swara looked at cup of coffee. It was black coffee.
Swara: sir .. i dont...
Sabskar: you will be marked as absent today then...
Swara: sir but....
Sanskar: tommorrow too
Swara: sir....
Sanskar: for a week..
Swara gulped. Absent for a week. No. She took the cup and sipped. With the first sip she felt as if she was drinking poison. It was so strong it tasted like hell. Swara's expression changed suddenly.
Swara: what the...
Sanskar: i got a 4 cm scratch on my car. So 4 teaspoon of coffee. Drink it so from the next time you know how to drive.
Swara: i cant sir...
Sanskar: absent for a week.
Swara: no sir... i am drinking na...
She gulped the coffee in one go. She felt as if she was about to throw up. She looked at smirking face of sanskar.
Sanskar: go... and tell everyone there is one hour case discussion.
Swara looked at sanskar in utter disbelief.

Lectures were over. Thank god swara was spared by sanskar this time. But it was only a good thought of swara. As soon as she walked out of demo room a voice called her "dr bose"
She dreaded to turn but she had to. She turned and lowered her gaze.
Sanskar: dr bose... yeaterday in your history... there were some mistakes which should be discussed.
Swara looked at him in amazement. What could those mistakes be was her only thought.
Sanskar: come to my cabin...immediately.
Swara rolled her eyes. She was very tired. All she needed was some rest but this sanskar... how can anyone be so rude.

Swara was sitting besides sanskar in his cabin. Sanskar was continuously scolding her for her mistakes.
Sanskar: these are mistakes expected from only an average student. But i have seen your records. You should not make these.
Swara nodded. Her eyes were filled with sleep.
Sanskar: sleepy miss bose?
Swara nodded.
Sanskar: when at 2 o clock in night some patient with heart attack will disturb your sleep then nobody is gonna see whether you got sleep or not. Death doesnt know anything. But its only a doctor who stands between death and patient.
Swara nodded.
Sanskar: go and get some rest. You have 1 hour free.
Swara: free.... sir you only given me work..
Sanskar: yes... but you are a human... not robot.
Swara's eyes widened. Is he really the same person. He is asking her to take rest.
Sanskar: dr bose... aankhe khol kar so gyi aap kya?
Swara nodded. Sanskar smirked.

It was evening. As usual swara was sitting with laksh.
Laksh: you did great with jaanki. She deserves.
Swara: yes... she deserves. But yar... i am not able to understand your brother. Why is he always behind me?
Laksh giggled.
Swara: seriously laksh... i wonder who will marry him.
Laksh again giggled.
Swara: seriously... i just wonder ...
Laksh: yes... a girl is there with whom my brother is head over heels in love with..
Swara: and who is that unlucky girl?
Laksh pointed his hand in a direction. Swara turned. To her great amazement sanskar was sitting with a girl holding her hand. Her mouth widened.
Swara: this moron... sanskar is in love with dr kavita???
Laksh: yes...
Swara: i cant believe this. He.... and she ...

Dr kavita was the one whom everyone detested. Nobody even wanted to see her face. A dermatologist ...she had a history of scolding everyone because of no reason. A rude arrogant and brainless girl.

Laksh nodded at swara.
Laksh: love is blind.....
Swara: but itna blind...
Laksh: even mom dad are against this. But nobody can win against bhai.
Swara: i can understand.

It was another fresh morning of december. Chill in weather was very high. Swara was driving to the hospital. She was on duty for last 24 hours and now again she had to remain in hospital for next 12 hours. Suddenly she applied breaks.
Swara: broken car laksh?
Swara looked at the man standing with his car broken on the road. He kicked the car in anger and the next moment he was dancing on the road with one leg.
Swara: god has sent me in your life as an angel.
Laksh turned to see swara.
Laksh: swara.... thank god.
Swara: sit...
Laksh: but i cant leave my baby here...
Swara giggled. Laksh was looking at the car with sad smile.
Swara: ok... then wait for 10 mins...
She dialed the ragini's number.
Laksh: to whom you have called?
Swara: ragini
Laksh: i ll not let any aera gaira natthu khaira touch my baby...
Swara: ho gya... maza aa gya... now shut your mouth..

After 10 mins
Ragini was standing with car's bonnet opened. Laksh was staring at her.
Ragini: who the hell made this duffer a doctor.
Swara giggled.
Laksh: i cleared pre medical test. They made me eligible.
Ragini: ohhh... and tell me why you put stethoscope inside car's bonnet then?
Swara's eyes widened. Laksh gulped.
Ragini took out the greesy stethoscope from car's bonnet.
Laksh: woh... i was a bit drunk last night..
"AND WANTED TO TEST CAR'S HEARTBEAT" A voice came from behind. Swara turned. Sanskar was standing behind them.
Swara: good... good morning sir ..
She was trying hard to control her laughter.
Laksh: bhaiya... why you always do this to me?
Sanskar: do what? Achaa... tease you in front of your crush...
Swara's mouth opened. She looked at laksh.
Laksh: crush.... kk...kkkonsa crush..
Sanskar moved towards ragini.
Sanskar: so... you are ragini gadodiya right..
Ragini smiled.
Laksh: bhaiya... aapko kasam hai aapke stethoscope ki..
Sanskar: dr swara. . Slap my brother on my behalf .
Swara giggled.
Swara: how many sir..
Sanskar: 3
Laksh: bhaiya...
Sanskar: 4
Laksh: bhaiya why....
Sanskar: 10... and this is your duty dr swara that with each slap i should hear his screams.
For the very first time swara was seeing this face of sanskar. It's been 3 months since she had met sanskar but what she was seeing was a completely different face of him.
Sanskar: miss ragini... on the behalf of my brother... i want you to at least talk to him. He likes you a lot and he told me this last night when he was drunk. So will you....
Ragini giggled. Swara too. Laksh came near sanskar
Laksh: bhai.... are you a kasai....
Sanskar gave a look to laksh and then smiled at ragini.
Ragini: i knew...
Laksh's mouth became wide open.
Ragini: yes... i knew... meet you in the evening laksh. Thankyou dr sanskar for letting me know this. Otherwise your budhhu bhai would never had the courage of this confession.
Swara was giggling hard. Laksh was scratching his hair. Ragini was laughing. Sanskar was smiling.
Swara: toh sir... what about the slaps...
Sanskar: whenever you want...

@hospital
Swara enteted sanskar's cabin for attendance. But stood outside seeing he and kavita fighting.
Sanskar: kavu... please... i am really sorry...
Kavita: always laksh mom dad... where am i in your life sanskar?
Sanskar: kavu... he is my brother.. what if i did something on his behalf?
Kavita: just... just because of your this nature i want you to stay away from your parents.
Sanskar: kavita... i have said this a lot of times and still repeating... i ll never leave my parents. Now move out.
Kavita turned to leave out fuming in anger. Sanskar sat on the chair with a thud. Outside swara was wondering whether to enter or not. She decided not to. But she was feeling bad for sanskar. However strict he was but his heart was pure she knew.
