#After Four Months#

*Palak Pov*

"Are you still thinking about him?" I got startled hearing those words and the coffee cup shook a little, but somehow I managed to not let it spill over the table.

"Give me a warning about your presence before saying something, Tina." I frowned releasing the cup and glanced up to see her standing beside my chair along with Veer.

"Okay! But you were just thinking about him, right?" she asked, pulling out a chair and sat down.

Of course I am thinking about him, but I can't let her know about it, right. So, I just ignored her question and took another sip, but groaned when I found both of them just staring at me without looking away.

"It's okay to admit it, Dr. Palak. Even I am thinking about him a lot." Tina's words this time caused me to cough over the sip I just took.

"Exactly! Even though I didn't like him when he was here, I couldn't help but think about him the whole day." I stared at Veer in shock hearing his words.

I think it's for the best if I just forget my coffee until the whole conversation stop. No matter how much I need it right now to push away this fatigue, I can't let them cause some other accident with their words.

"Why are you both thinking about him so much?" I asked them frowning not able to stop myself.

From morning everyone is bringing up his name and talking about his memories which is causing nothing but trouble for me. I don't even know why is everyone thinking about him like this and talking near me just about him whenever they don't have any work to do.

After he left, I thought of him in just passing moments. Why would I think about him continuously in the first place after the way he behaved before leaving?

I will be very happy if I can say that all those passing moments is just because of the curiosity to know the reason behind such behavior before he left. However, I can't be so dishonest to myself and I know that he had the effect on me against my wishes which I definitely can't ignore.

It was fine until today to just think about him in that way, but before of these people I am losing the composure completely and all the memories are just displaying themselves before my eyes.

"Don't tell me you didn't see yesterday's racing. No matter what he was somewhat different for you too, because of his actions. Even we feel different about him by his actions towards you then why wouldn't you." Tina asked frowning at me.

"I never watched it before and I need not do it now. If we try to get involved in all the professions of the patients we treat then I don't think we will have any time to actually do our work." I pointed out smiling.

"She is right! She need not watch that." Veer said, nodding and I stopped myself from rolling my eyes.

When will he stop this persuasion? Oh, right! He said he will if I am actually committed to someone instead of being single which seems too childish for me. But I just let him be not wishing to disrespect his feelings as he is being an even better friend after the movie incident.

"So, what happened yesterday that is causing everyone to talk about him?" I asked not able to stop my curiosity.

"Well, he got third place in yesterdays race." She replied sighing.

"That's a good one, right. He has been recently out of the therapy and what he achieved is something big." I mumbled frowning.

"We know that and that's why none of us commented when he was even worse in his first race after he left which was like last month. But he got first in the last week's one and now it is third." She explained.
