a hundred times at once
in a thousand different ways
as million different colours'

Offering The Sun

Sadhvi's POV

By nine thirty that day, I was inside the treatment room on my floor attending a patient.

The patient was busy reading the newspaper on his mobile phone and I was releasing his calf muscle.

My mind was reeling, picturing him and I.

What it is going to be like with him.

Strangely at that, I kind of liked the idea.
It was as if his face was always what I was putting on everyone.

I was in trouble and so soon at that.

When I arrived, the desk downstairs informed me about my 9’O clock appointment is here, not thinking much I rushed to my cabin and quickly changed into my flip-flops I went to work.

I was yet to inform my folks.

I wanted to digest the information by myself a little longer. I didn’t want to admit yet that one look at him and I caved.
Just like that

“I’ll get the theraband and I want you to lie on your back now"
I informed the patient and went outside to the common room to get the equipment.

While walking outside I bumped into Rajveen, who just finished her yoga session came down to meet me.

“You were late this morning.”

“Yes. Had to see someone”

The one. My mind reminded me.

“How did it go last night?” she asked

And just then I realized in the midst of all I forgot to fill her up.
“Wait inside my cabin I will join you within 10 minutes.”

She nodded and moved to go in
I was taking theraband out of the cupboard when I remembered,
“You don’t have any patient waiting, do you?”

“Not until 10:15”

“Cool. I’ll be there soon”
.

After doing manual work on my patient and asking the intern for giving him ultrasonic therapy I walked out of the treatment room to talk to my best friends.

“I still feel your cabin is bigger than mine” she said the moment I entered

I rolled my eyes and took my apron off hanging it on the rack.
“I thought we are way past that topic”

“Still I feel like I made some mistake with the measurements”

I laughed, “Orange juice?”

she nodded and I called the pantry to get us some.

“so yesterday …..

After filling her up with everything I wasn’t in the condition to pin point what her reaction was going to be.

She was yet to react, was busy sipping the juice. Too shocked even to react, I took it.

“This morning I went to see him and he was the same guy, the guy I commented on outside the club that day”
