Medicine of Love - E3.

I pinch my self so hard that it leaves a red mark on my hand. I am not dreaming. I have got everything I asked for. I got his photo and I am going on a date with him.

Oh My God! What do I do? What shall I wear? Should I ask Reshma? Isn't it too early? But she is the only person I share all my secrets.

Reshma is painting in her room.

Shehnaaz: Wow!! What a beautiful painting Reshu?

Reshma: (frowns) I have just started, from which angle is it looking beautiful to you?

I bite my tongue in embarrassment.

Shehnaaz: I mean I don't have doubt on your talent. It will be the best painiting.

Reshma: Come on Motto, stop beating around the bush and spill the beans now. (Looking back at the painting)

Shehnaaz: Reshuu.. I have been asked on a date, and I want your help.

Reshma: (freezes) What? When did this happen? Who is he? Do you like him? Why didn't you tell me earlier? (Without pause)

Shehnaaz: (patting her back) Calm down, will tell you. Infact I'll show you his photo.

Reshma's jaw drops in shock when she sees Sidharth's photo.

Reshma: The Doctor? (Shehnaaz nods) He fell for you in 2 meetings?

Shehnaaz: Aa.. Actually I fell head over heels on our first meet. I met him 4 times.

I narrate her the entire incident and she smacks me for hurting myself but she was happy that he asked for a date and that I was happy.

She helps me with selecting the dress I would wear on date.

I couldn't sleep entire night out of excitement and my whole day went by looking at the clock until it strikes 5pm. I start getting ready for THE DATE. My first ever date.

I was approached by lots of men earlier but I always denied. It is the first time ever I got attracted to a Man. Am I in Love? But I hardly know about him. Well, I know that I want to spend my life with him so I have whole life to know about him.

What about him? Would he like to spend his whole life with me? Argghhh.. Since when did I started thinking about future? I have always lived in the present. So, for now I will only think about the present.

I am ready by 6pm. There is still 1 hour left. Oh Lord, why is this clock so slow today, I check my phone just incase the clock wasn't working. It showed the same time.

Shehnaaz.. (shakes her) Shehnaaz..

I open my eyes, it's Sidharth!! Oh God, I slept here waiting for him.

Flashback:

Girls have always drooled over me but never have I seen any girl so innocent and ready to risk her life to see me. She is very lively and with just 4 encounters, I can say she is the purest soul I have ever seen.

I was curious to know more about her that's when I decide to ask her for a date.

Post clinic hour, I get ready and drive to the given address. I ring the doorbell and Reshma opens the door.

Reshma: Hello Doctor! Please come in.

Sid: Hey, call me Sidharth, I am no more in my clinic nor I've come to cure patient. By the way, how is your ankle?

Reshma: (smiles) It's perfectly fine. Motto.. I mean Shehnaaz has been taking proper care of me. She didn't allow me to do anything from past two weeks. Thanks to God that even though we don't have family, we have each other.
