Next day at Sanjeevani:

An announcement is made for everyone to attend the meeting where usually intern of the month is announced.

All interns, senior doctors, Dr. Keerthi, nurses, ward boys..... everyone gathers there not having any idea of the meeting content except Keerthi and Shashank.

Dr. Shashank and Dr. Keerthi will be on the stage to address the meeting and all others take their seats before them.

" Thank you everyone for coming here. I am here to tell you all about the person who is not only extremely talented but also a very good person at heart.That person is none other than Dr. ARMAAN MALLIK." Shashank announces proudly and all hears a loud cheer from the audience for Armaan. Riddhima, Sid,Shilpa are surprised as they don't know sudden reason of appreciation of armaan and so listens keenly.

"Seeing your cheer for armaan I can say that you all people are very fond of him.....it's not a big thing as per armaan always had a big fan following because everyone likes him especially girls.......for his looks, body and personality.......hahahaha......" Shashank speaks about armaan and laughs saying last part. Riddhima smiles widely at that thought and everyone agree with Shashank.

" Armaan was always been a mischievous kid you know like playing pranks, flirting,fighting with his freinds, silly jokes,bike races,girls vs boys matches........there are many things of his doings which only his close friends and family knows. But I should agree he is also great, dedicated,sincere and hard working doctor. Though he does some mischievous things there has been always a reason behind that. He has that aura of spreading happiness and love naturally with his smile,his sense of humour,his tactics of making others smile when they are sad and most important is helping others in which he doesn't care of his own life to save others." Shashank says proudly with happiness and sadness. Riddhima tears flows automatically remembering their all memories and everyone listens to him interestingly as they don't know all this about armaan. Keerthi and Shilpa also gets tears but they blink away.

" He may look as a irresponsible or mischievous or lover boy for girls but only few people know about him who are close to him that he is a best friend, best son, best doctor...... everything is best in him. If something bad happens or anyone needs help then there will be always one person standing in front of you to help and that is ARMAAN." Shashank says with tears in his eyes while riddhima feels very much happy to listen all this from her dad. Shilpa feels proud to be his friend. Sid, JP & Jiggy will be astonished to know about armaan that to from Dr. Shashank.

" You all may be thinking that why I am talking about armaan and praising him but listen guys they are not praises this is the truth. If we talk about the praises of armaan then they are many more........now let's talk about the actual matter . As you all know Dr. Armaan went to conference to London right, but I want to share some information about this." Shashank pauses and continues.......

" Dr. Armaan was selected to attend the conference along with top doctors from top hospitals in India. He was selected because he has dealt some critical cases successfully when he was still an intern,the success rate in surgeries he performed is 99.99% which is rare and appreciable, he is one of the finest surgeons in India, he is good researcher in medicine ,he is the top doctor with top success rate at a very small age and is the youngest doctor who has achieved a lot in medical field at this very young age." Shashank says smiling proudly and sees everyone who are surprised and having stunned expression. Riddhima grins widely with tears in her eyes.

"Now every top hospital in India wants armaan to be part of their organizations for their reputation and success. But my son armaan being faithful,loyal,sincere and having immense love and respect towards sanjeevani declined every offer he got with highest payment in top hospitals of India." Shashank says proudly. He also want to disclose about the trust also but armaan would not want that so he kept quiet.

" Sanjeevani is also very grateful to him not only for his services but also for making sanjeevani stand today where it is. If it wasn't armaan and his ideas of saving sanjeevani through Save sanjeevani concert , sanjeevani would have been closed and many people would have lost their jobs.....their livelihood. He helped sanjeevani to overcome it's crisis and saved sanjeevani. He and his freinds who were interns, Dr. Keerthi and Dr. Shubankar everyone worked hard to save sanjeevani. I will always be grateful for them for that." Shashank says in serious tone expressing his gratitude towards armaan. Riddhima and keerthi gets emotional remembering those days. All others are surprised with this latest piece of information.

" I am saying all this about Armaan in his absence because he will not allow me to do this in his presence. He says that it is his duty as a doctor, it is his duty as a friend......... He would have not want any of things I said about him to tell you if he was here.I would be glad to acknowledge and reward him for his services and talent but armaan wouldn't like that so I am happy sharing this with you all in his absence. He says that he doesn't want any appreciation or rewards for fulfilling his duty." Shashank will be saying and all will listening quietly.

" Armaan was doing a great job in London also as people there are not leaving him. He is handling some critical cases in one of top hospitals in London and so he will be coming back lately to India may be after 2 to 3 days."Shashank informs to everyone.

" Today what I said about armaan is just not only to appreciate him but also to make you all people know that he has reached this stage with lots of hard work and hardships. Nothing was easy for him in his life,he beared a lot, he had painful past,he had been life and death situation ( riddhima tightly shuts her eyes to subside the tears and ache in her heart). He had fought with every situation with determination and hard work and see today you can see how successful he is. I am saying all this to you all so that who wants to grow up in career,the interns who will become senior doctors one day will get some inspiration from armaan that's it. Thank you everyone for giving your time to share my happiness and gratitude." Shashank stops speaking and looks at keerthi.

" As Dr. Shashank said it all I would just like to say I am proud that Dr. Armaan Mallik was my intern and is part of sanjeevani now as a senior doctor. Thank you once again everyone and now you all can disperse to your respective duties." Keerthi says to everyone and they all left for their duties.

Riddhima rushes to the restroom as she is in verge of crying. She is happy that her dad acknowledged his character,his talent,his achievements that to in front of everyone but she is also sad that she lost such an amazing person in her life. Tears of happiness and grief flows continously from her eyes. She glances herself in the mirror and says ' I am proud of you Armaan '. She smiles herself in the mirror with tears. She quickly washes her face and goes to resume back her duty.
