They say you meet the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. For me, that time was a chaotic 8:30 PM on the eighth floor of a government hospital, and that person was Dr. Darsh Jethwa.
He was sarcastic, rude, and drop-dead gorgeous in his crisp blue polo and silver chain. But beneath that arrogant medical demeanor was the man who quietly took my heavy bags, made a crowded ICU ward laugh just to see me smile, and stayed on the phone with me all night comforting me. We exchanged numbers, but life got in the way. A whole year passed in total, agonizing silence.
I focused on my goals, prepared for the competitive exam, and successfully cracked it. My dream is waiting for me, and I am all set to shift to Delhi to start my prestigious new position. But right before my big move, a sudden twist of fate lands me right back in the exact same hospital-this time, as a patient in a crowded general ward.
When Dr. Darsh walks in for his night shift rounds, my heart stops. But he looks straight at me, checks my clipboard, and acts like he has absolutely no clue who I am. My mom is sitting right beside my bed, completely oblivious, while my mind is going absolutely crazy: Ye mujhe bhul gaya? Has he really forgotten the girl from the 11:00 PM ambulance wave?
I have exactly two months before I leave for Delhi. Sixty days to find out if the doctor who has been living in my imagination for a year is playing a high-stakes game, or if I'm truly just another nameless chart on his clipboard.
