....."dore mon haaa.... La la la... Doremon...." they both are binge watching the show.... Jiya and rajveer .. And singing the title song each time..... Its getting irritating....

"ohh... Doremon.... Lagata he mummm ko gussha aa raha he...."
"mujhe be aise hi lagta he nobita...." he mimics doremon's accent....

They have been. Doing this since four hours binge watching doremon nad shin chan alternately and acting out like them.....

A flying pillow at rajveer...

He looks at her

"what are you.... A five year old...." she asks in a grumpy tone...

"ow..".... "naina dheere.... That vase hit... Stil hurts you know....dekho ab tK mark he..."

"you deserve it....." she mouths... Frowning

While jiya is racing all around in the room

"baby...quiet....rajveer.... U suck at this...... Its been nearly a month.... U still haven't figured  a way to tuck her to sleep...... Aur.. Ab dono mere sar pe doremon doremon chila kar nach rahe ho" she is drowsy.... But jiya is so full of mischief that its very difficult to sleep before tucking her to bed

"mumma..... Friend ko daanto mat..... He is doremon... Of our life....." who always takes care of jiya. And mumma"....
She was lecturing  naina like  a granny.....

Rajveer didn't quite know when he started weeping again....

Sitting on the stool quietly.....

Naina forwarded him tissue box..... He looked at her..... Hazy eyes.... With lot of unsaid emotions.... Her eyes deep..... As if consoling him..... But neither say a word

"mumma.... I want to sleep." jiya came up.... Hoping on her bed    

"jiya.." he stroked her hair....
"chalo... Ap mere sath sona..."

"nai... Mumm ke pas sona he" she stubborny clung to naina..... And dozed off...

It was getting a little uncomfy.... And naina trying to shift too drowsy.... He was about to pick jiya up... She snuggled on  his arm..... And so did jiya...

He   didn't know if bliss had any other meaning. Than this particular moment......

A nurse comes in just in time to see them cuddled up...... And asleep snoring......

Jiya and naina were practically cuddled on each one of his arms......and he was awake but had no heart to shift them even as his hands were tingling

"hospital beds are for patients"
She remarks grumpily..... And he is requesting her to keep quite......and not to wake both of them......

"aapko dr aane ke pehle jaga dungi..... Tabtak theek he" she remarks grumpily..... Adjusting a pillow behind his back.... And patting his hair......

She couldn't resist to smile while leaving.......watching him comfy because of that pillow.....

Looking in awe at their sweet little family..... Or maybe an illusion of it....
He had kissed her forehead and jiya's later by the way.. ...

.......
..... Nurses came and went..... Cringing at this crazy nut..... Who bought mani pedikit..... Transforming the hospital room into beauty parlour....

"wo colour..." she indicated at the kit...

"nai.... Mumma pink..." jiya forwards a pink nail colour to him.... While he is busy massaging her feet..

"well... Its gotta be something dark..... This bluish hue looks so ugly" she pouted looking at her cyanosed nails.....

He picks out a colour.....

"how about this one.... It always looked pretty on you"

"perrrfect" jiya chuckles...

Naina kisses her cheek.... Viewing him from a peripheral vision..... Her stomach slightly jittery.... All those butterflies..... She had never thought she was capable of feeling this way....

But as he smiles at her.... Admiring her nail colour.... Tenderly.. Masagging her legs......giving her a world class parlour service...
"where did you learn how to do that" she asked in amazed tone...

"u don't know yet... M a multi talented person" he shrugged.... With collars up in style
"yeah.... We don't really know each other yet" she ... Said in a casual tone.... "too bad..... There isn't much time left....to do that "
His head was down till the point

He felt a tug in his heart....not knowing wether he had enough courage to look in her eyes.....

"
...........

They have yet again shifted the hospital..... As apparently he managed to get an appointment from one of most renowned oncologists in the country.... But the fact was each shift of hospital... Each time he would come and say..... That he heard a about some therapy... Or some article.... Or some dr... She knew that he has been informed clearly to give up trying....
But atleast now she knew how stubborn he was....
.....
Dr mehra. :i asked you to get me an interesting case ...... And u confused it with incurable ..... Is it just today.... Or you residents have become really sneaky.......

Dr. Ananya:sir.... He has mailed st least 100 times to us.. Requesting you to take up his wife's case....so i thought.....
He throws file back at her....and moves at a super high pace.....
" dr ananya:Sir... But i thought atleast we can look up at the blood reports and redo the tests before
He finally got irritated..
"You have been watching lot of movies recently.... Is it....??....leave before i sign on this letter saying you are assigned to work night shift for 2 consecutive months......"
Turns out he was in a really grumpy mood...
He had been as much famous for being a jerk.... As he was for making miracles happen
......
A man waiting outside his cabin for to long......
"hi... U must be dr ananya"
"yaa.... And you are"

"major rajveer sheekhawat..."

"ohh... Yes.... Come on this way...... Dr mehra will meet you shortly.....
H......
She walked away... Asking him to wt.... Possibly to calm her nerves... Before she figures her way  to get dr. Mehra to meet him  once......
She narated whoe incident to her friend......
Dr. Kapil..." tu bhi na...dr Mehra  se panga le rahi he..... He clearly asked you not to redo the tests.....or direct the patient to him.....do u want to get suspended.... "
She kept listening.... Nervous ....
" currently.... Is ke baare me kisi aur ko pata nahi he to tu. Bhi apna muh band rakh" she took that sandwich from him...
"byye bas apna muh mat kholna... I have fixed his appointment on todays chart..... Nearly loads of patients he looks at daily... Ek case dekh lene se kuch bighad nai jaega...... Self important jerk.....he is" she tells dr. kapil and runs off....

It was something about his 101th email..... Or about his voice when he requested for an appointment....... According to ananya it would be evil to crush his hope without trying once...

........ ......

Ananya stormed in the cabin where rajveer was practically running out of patience...     Waiting...
"have a seat mr. Sheekhawat  ."

"we have done a thorough study on your wife's case...... To find out that her symptomatic treatment can be done" ... She briefed him.....

" so... U mean... Its treatable then....you can save her?? His eyes glittering......

"mr shewkahawat...... We can treat her symptomatically to lessen pain.. And prolong her survival rate... But there is yet no treatment for the variant of leukemia she is suffering from...."

She made it clear right in the first meet... That rajveer should quit trying..
"i don't understand... Why are you the one meeting me.... Isn't dr mehra supposed to be the one meeting?"

"dr mehra.... Has declined to. Take her case..... Mr Sheekhawat" she answers honestly.....
He kept quiet.....

"Where can i find him"he asks

" he is on rounds currently..... Will arrive shortly"dr ananya answers in a scared tone..... She has messed up beyond measure this time.     .
