Next day :-

Sanjeevani, Delhi :-

" Dr. Khanna, Dr. Shilpa in general ward."

Rohit grins at her and Shilpa glares at him annoyed.

" Dr. Patel ,you will be assisting Dr. Anjali in a surgery and then path lab."

" Dr. Muskaan chadda in maternity ward."

" Dr. Mishra, you will be assisting Dr. Riddhima."

" Dr. Rahul in children's ward and Dr. Atul in ICU and then you two will be with me in doing further arrangements for the event."

Armaan finishes assigning duties to all of them and looks up finding everyone nodding at him except T who stood there in confusion.

" Dr. Mishra......" Armaan says raising his eyebrows.

" Sir, Dr. Riddhima? "

" Yes, Dr. Riddhima."

" Ok, but who is Dr. Riddhima ?"

Muskaan giggles earning a glare from armaan. Riddhima will be all the time looking at the floor as it was the most beautiful thing in the world.

" You don't know Dr. Riddhima?"

" No Sir. "

" I guess there is a need for proper  introduction about everyone here armaan."

Rahul says and Armaan nods.

" Ok I will introduce everyone.
Guys these are our interns Dr. Khanna, Dr. Patel and Dr. Mishra."

" And interns this is Dr. Muskaan chadda, Gynaecologist. This is Dr. Anjali Gupta, Orthopedician. This is Dr. Rahul Gerewal , pediatrician cum physician. This is Dr. Riddhima Gupta , Physician cum Orthopedician and this is Dr. Shilpa Malhotra , Intern."

Everyone greets each other while riddhima looks at armaan who will be avoiding looking at her. T was stunned to know that bulbul and riddhima are the same but not different girls.

"So everything is clear right? Now get back to your duties."

Armaan says and interns nods and goes from there. Riddhima looks at him trying to talk but armaan ignores and storms away from there. Gang looks at her and pats her back saying that everything will be fine.

Riddhima is upset as Armaan didn't eat from last night and today when she got up early in the morning to talk to him, he was already gone to the hospital. And here, he is not even giving her a glance let alone talk to her.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

" Venue"

" Guests "

" Check "

" Green rooms "

" Check "

" What else is left?"

" Performances ,costumes, food......."

Atul and Rahul will be talking to each other in the cafe about the preparations where Muskaan and Anjali joins them. Armaan will be on rounds and Riddhima is no where to be seen.

On the other hand in the general ward, Rohit will be flirting with Shilpa who will be ignoring him and other interns will be on their assigned work.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

" Armaan "

"....."

" Arrmaaannn !!! "

"....."

" Stop ignoring me "

" Stop following me "

" Oh !  So the devil talks."

She chuckles and he glares.

" Stop glaring at me and I am not one of your  interns to be afraid of you."

Riddhima says pointing her finger.

" Armaan listen ,stop being angry and listen to me once then you can do what you want."

" I am busy right now riddhima."

" Armaan don't give me stupid reasons. Kal raat tum Ghar pe kyun nahi aaye ?"

" Mujhe kuch Kaam tha."

" Oh really? Gusse mein Ghar nayi aaye ho tum aur Kal raat se kuch khaaya bhi nahi ho tum."

" I can take care of myself."

" Why are you doing this? Can't you listen to me once?"

" No, at least not now."

" Ok "

He looks at her in surprise and she shruggs.

" At least come to cafe and eat your lunch ,our friends must be waiting."

She says bluntly with blank expression and goes away from there while he will be looking at her retreating figure confused.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Armaan comes to the cafe and sits with the gang who will be arguing. Interns also come and sit beside them on the other table watching gang's argument in amusement.

" You are not allowed to get costumes Atul."

Anjali says deciding.

" But Anjali why? "

Atul whines.

" Whenever you have brought costumes those were wierdly wierd."

Anji says making a disgusting face.

" But we are wierd. "

Muskaan pipes in grinning.

" And wierd is our speciality."

Rahul butts in smiling and shrugging.

Shilpa laughs and Armaan chuckles.

" Guys these costumes are neither for our entertainment nor for spying anybody to be wierd and all. These are for the event so they should be decent and elegant and I don't want to make fun of ourselves before everyone on that day. "

Anjali says in monotone that meant it's final.

Armaan will be looking here and there searching for riddhima. Gang observes this and winks at each other smirking.

" Armaan do you want something?"
Shilpa asks hiding her smile.

" Umm....no nothing."

" No Shilpa he is searching for somebody, isn't it armaan ?"
Muskaan says smirking.

" No !"

" Then for what you are looking here and there ?"
Atul asks innocently.

" I said nothing guys. "

" Why don't you agree that you are looking for someone and that someone is Riddhima ? "
Rahul asks becoming serious.

" Guys,there is nothing like that. Now I have to go,I have some work."
Armaan says getting up and leaves.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Riddhima smiles and laughs while  talking to interns who will be waiting for armaan. Interns are surprised to know how friendly riddhima is being a senior doctor. She turns her attention to something she was writing in a file. Interns observes as she will be smiling  while writing something.

" Sshhh......"

Riddhima says putting a finger on her lips when she looks at interns who will be looking at her file curiously. Interns thinks she is also wierd like her friends.

Armaan sighs in relief when he spots riddhima leaning on the desk writing something. He goes near her and stands behind her.

"Ahem ahem......" Armaan clears his throat and interns get stiffened but riddhima is too busy to hear.

" Riddhima......"
He calls her. She turns and smiles at him closing her file.

" Hey Grumpy. "

She grins and Armaan looks at interns who gasps.

" Riddhima....." He says sternly and sighs her at interns.

" Oops......sorry...... Dr. Grumpy."

She says.

" Don't call me Grumpy "

He hisses.

" Then what should I call the one who is always grumpy?"

Riddhima starts thinking and Armaan sighs.

" Ha!!! I got it...... Cranky......you are always getting cranky nowadays. So cranky it is....... Yes!!! Dr. Cranky it is......."

Riddhima exclaims and Armaan glares.

" Stop calling me names !!!!!"

" Stop glaring at me !!!!! "

" I can do whatever I want."

" I can say whatever I want......Dr. Grumpy Mallik. "

" I already said don't call me  THAT !!!!!"

"I already said that I am not your intern to be afraid of  YOU "

" Tumse baat Karna hi bekaar hai "

" Toh kisne kaha hai tumse ki aake mujhse baat Karo."

" Mujhe tumse baat Karne ka koi shauk nahi hai."

" Mein kaunsa yaha Mari jaa rahi Hoon tumse baat Karne ke liye."

" RIDDHIMA "

" ARMAAN "

" RIDDHIMA "

" ARMAAN "

" RIDDHIMA "

" ARMAAN "

" Fine, then be it."

" Fine by me too."

Both yell at each other and walk away in opposite directions. Interns looked at their fight in to and fro motion with wide eyes and open mouths.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Riddhima peeks into the general ward standing near the door and sees armaan talking to the interns. She forgets for what she came there and continues to stare at him. She thinks though armaan looks like a angry young man, this look suits him and he looks more handsome now and she  smiles.

She shakes her head to get rid of such thoughts and scolds herself for getting distracted.

Focus riddhima focus

When she thought that armaan will come outside she moves away from there. She smirks on her plan to annoy armaan. She wants to come in his way and annoy him so much that he will shout and fight with her like old armaan. She also wanted to see until when he will not talk to her normally.

Armaan will be coming outside and at that time only riddhima also moves in ready to fight with him but destiny had other plans. Riddhima trips on her heels and stumbles but before she falls, a familiar pair of hands catch her.

Armaan observes her features closely after long time. Her closed eyes, her trembling pink lips, her silky hair falling on her face and her sweet scent. He thinks she looks more beautiful now.

Riddhima opens her eyes to see armaan staring at her with his blue eyes. She also stares at his features and gets lost in his warmth. They both totally forgot about their fight,their anger and their surroundings.

Suddenly they got aware of their surroundings and release themselves from each other's grip. They look at their surroundings to see interns stood in awestruck and their gang looking at them dreamily.

" Ahem ahem......."

Anjali clears her throat and they look at her.

" Guys yeh hospital hai."

" Anji tum bhi na.....Kya un donon ko pata nahi hai ki yeh hospital hai? "
Muskaan says teasing.

" Phir....." Atul asks.

" Phir Kya......yeh toh Armaan aur Riddhima hai after all un donon ke liye yeh normal hai."
Rahul says shrugging.

" Shut up guys." Armaan scolds them.

" Ha guys galti se hum takra gayyi..... that's it." Riddhima says to them.

" OOOHHHHH......... "

All say in a chorus in a teasing tone and tries to hide their smile.

Riddhima thinks her plan cannot fail like this and thinks to continue her plan of annoying armaan.

" Armaan tum dekh ke nahi chal sakte ho Kya ?"
Riddhima asks in anger catching her leg pretending to be hurt.

" Mein dekh ke chal Raha tha.....pata nahi tumhaara dhyaan kidar hai."
Armaan replies in anger.

" Achha toh ab saari galthi Meri hai ?"

" Ha "

" Galthi tumhaara hai."

" Tumhaari hai."

" Nahi Tumhaara hai."

" Nahi "

" Ha "

" Nahi "

" Ha "

" Nahi "

" Ha "

" Nahi "

" Ha "

" Nahi "

" Ha "

" Nahi "

" SHUT UP !!!!! "

Gang says all together and interns had to cover their ears with their hands.

" Tum dono bilkul nahi badle hai, aaj bhi waise hi ladte ho bachon jaisa."
Muskaan says huffing.

" Bache bhi tum logon se zyaada behatar hai." Rahul adds on.

Armaan and Riddhima will be glaring at each other. Huffing both part their ways in opposite direction and gang sighs.

" Oh God!!! Kya Kare hum inn donon ka ?" Anji says looking up.

" Inn donon ko Kya Karne ke liye laaye hai aur yeh Kya Kar rahe hain ??? "
Atul says and sighs.

" Wahi toh jabse aaye hai tabse ladaayi hi Kar rahe Hain."
Shilpa whines.

" Ladne dho unhe......."

" Yeh Kya keh rahe aap Nana . "
Muskaan asks him confused.

" Unhe jitna ladna hai ladne dho....achhi baat hai."
Nana says.

" Kyun ?" Anji asks him.

" Bhool gayye tum log......... Inn donon ka ladaayi hi inn donon ka pyaar hai. Pehle bhi aise ladthe rahte the, yaad hai?" Nana asks them and everyone's face lits up.

" Ha nana tho bilkul sahi kaha hai yaar ." Atul says.

" Wahi tho hum kaise bhool gayye ki....inn logon ka pyaar ladaayi se shuri Hui thi." Rahul adds on smiling.

" Ha, ladthe ladthe hi pyaar hua tha  aur pyaar karte karte ladne lag jaate the yeh dono." Muskaan says grinning.

" Yeh dono ladaayi se hi ek doosre ko apna pyaar jataathe Hain." Anjali says clapping.

" Toh ab yeh log lad rahe Hain,Matlab takraar shuru Hui hai......" Shilpa says excitingly.

" Takraar toh shuru Hui hai ,ab bas pyaar ka ikraar baaki hai." Muskaan says dreamily.

" Yeah, unke ladaayi hi unka pyaar hai......kaise idiots hai na woh dono."
Rahul says shaking his head.

" Kyun ki woh Armaan aur Riddhima hai aur unka pyaar aisa hi hai.....sab se alag ,sab se khaas." Atul says grinning.

" Wow!!!......iska Matlab ab inn donon ko ek ho jaane mein zyaada waqt nahi hai......I am so excited !!!!! " Shilpa says clasping her hands together and grins.

" Ha ab humein aage ki planning karni hogi inn donon ko aur khareeb laane ke liye ." Nana says thinking.

" Hum sab milke kuch karenge. " Anajli says and everyone nods.

" YES !!! "

Everyone says and hugs each other having a long and big group hug . Interns stood watching them rooted in their place processing all the information they just heard now.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Whole gang including interns works together for the event in the recreation room.

Armaan and Riddhima will be totally avoiding each other. Although riddhima finds every way to annoy him till he fights with her. Fighting with Armaan made her happy as they made her remember those beautiful days back.

Gang gets side tracked some times and involve them both to work together for some things like food and performances discussions which made them to fight and argue more.

Soon everyone were so much tired and exhausted so Everyone leaves for their homes.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Armaan will be in his cabin looking at some files. Everyone leaves for home except for him as he had to study a patient's case regarding surgery. A knock on the door interrupts him.

" Come in. "

" Sir, someone sent a boquet for you."

" From whom it is sister? "

" I don't know sir, a boy came delivering this and told to give this to Dr. Armaan Mallik."

" Ok ,keep it here on the table."

" Ok sir."

" Thank you."

Sister keeps the boquet on the table and leaves. Armaan stands and comes around the table near the boquet. He naarows his eyes and looks for some name or anything but there is nothing.

He takes the boquet in his hands and examines the boquet. It was a beautiful boquet of Red roses which are his favorite. He smiles looking at the boquet and smelling it. He loved it and decorates the boquet at one corner in his cabin.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

To be continued............

Love AR.
