A girl is sitting on her bed angrily with her both arm crossed to her chest.
'Avni ,meri pyaari behana ..ek baar sun na meri baat' her elder sister Ashi, from past few minutes was trying to talk with her but she is sitting all silent.
'Apni di ki baat nahi sunegi haa?' she asked cupping her cheeks and she finally looks at her..
'Kyu gussa kar rahi hain?? mummy shaadi ki baat kya kar li, tu toh bilkul gussa ho gayi ??' she chuckles pulling her cheeks teasingly.
Avni whines pushing her hand away, 'Dii woh log kal dekhne aa rahe hain mujhe ..'
'Ha toh kya hua dekhne hi toh aa rahe hain bas..toh problem kya hai ..kal hi kya hum log teri shaadi karwa denge kya?? Usme bohut time hain' she asked.
'Dii mein aage hi bata rahi hu agar woh larka doctor nikla na mein usse ghar se lath maar k nikal dungi' she said giving a angry look.
Ashi shushed her, 'Chup kar aise nahi bolte Avni ..aur tujhe kisne kaha ki woh larka doctor hain?? Woh IT sector mein job karta hain'
She gives a look at her, 'mein aap logo par bilkul bharosa nahi karti ..ittu sa bhi nahi..kya pata aap log jhuth bol rahe ho?'
Ashi looks away while murmuring, 'Kaha phasa diya aapne mumma?? Agar ise pata chal gayi na kal, toh yeh toh mujhe maar hi daalegi'
'Kuch kaha aapne ??' Avni asked shaking her shoulder..
She shook her head 'kuch nahi..par tu pehla ye bata..agar woh larka doctor ho bhi jaay toh kya pharak paregaa?? Woh kya tujhe kha jaayga??'
' Doctor log bilkul bhi dayalu nahi hote....aur jab bhi kuch ho toh 6-7 injection ghusa dete hain ek sath...unko kya ...unko thore hi dard hote hain' she pouts sadly imagining the traumatic experience of her childhood..
'Are meri pagal larki...tab tujhe dog ne kata tha pair mein...jab bhi koi kisiko dog kat ti hain na..6-7 injection lagane parti hi hain minimum...yah usse bhi zyada' she said pulling her head on her lap..
'Toh ek sath ?? Or woh bhi kitna zor se?? Mujhe waise hi dard ho rahi thi ...kitna ro rahi thi aur upar se mujhe zor se ek daat lagaya uss doctor ne..insaan h yah jaanwar..bilkul bhi daya nahi hui iss choti si masum si bache par...mann karti hai uss doctor ki gala daba du jakar' she cursed him hundred times in her mind.
Ashi chuckles caressing her hair softly..
'Has lijiye ..aur zoro se hass lijiye ..mike du ?? Aur ache se awaz ayegi' she taunts pushing her face more inside her belly..
Listening to her she laughs out loud, 'Tu na bohut funny hain ..aur cute bhi'
She didn't reply in response and just lay there closing her eyes..
On the other side..
"Don't skip these medicines, and I've already given you a proper diet plan. You have to follow it regularly, hmm?" The man in the blue surgical coat advised, his voice calm but firm.
A stethoscope hung around his neck, a clear sign that he had been too busy to remove it after coming straight from the OT. With back-to-back patients waiting, there was no time for a break.
Sitting across from him, the young girl nodded solemnly, absorbing his words.
"These irregular periods you're experiencing? They're a result of all the oily and junk food you've been consuming."
He shook his head slightly before continuing. "From now on, you need to stop eating all that-unless you want to go through stomach cramps again."
Her shoulders slumped as she nodded in understanding, disappointment evident in her expression.
His lips curled into a reassuring smile. "Bas kuch din ke liye control rakho. Once things get back to normal, you can eat in moderation."
She managed a small smile and stood up. "Thank you, doctor."
"Mention not," he replied warmly, watching as she exited the cabin.
Just then, his nurse, Tina, stepped in, holding the appointment list.
"Vihaan Sir, Mr. and Mrs. Rathore just canceled their appointment due to an emergency. They want to reschedule for tomorrow. Should I confirm it?"
He glanced up and shook his head. "No, Tina. I'm not available tomorrow. Book them for any other day except that."
Tina noted it down but couldn't ignore the subtle smile playing on her boss's lips. From the corner of her eye, she observed him lost in thought, his expression softer than usual.
A teasing glint appeared in her eyes. "Sir, lately, I've been noticing you smiling to yourself quite often. Koi khaas baat hai? Are we missing out on some big news?"
He let out a small chuckle, shaking his head. "Waise koi khaas baat nahi... bas mom-dad ne mere liye ek ladki pasand ki hai. Kal unse milne ja raha hoon."
Tina's eyes widened with excitement. "Oh wow, sir! Congratulations! Finally, you're getting married! The whole department has been waiting for this day. So, who's the lucky girl? Naam kya hai?"
He leaned back in his chair, amusement flickering in his gaze. "Abhi kuch final nahi hua, Tina. We're meeting for the first time tomorrow. Her name is Avni."
Tina clapped her hands together, her enthusiasm doubling. "Sir, at least show us her picture!"
He shook his head, a knowing smile on his lips. "Not now, Tina. Jab sab kuch final ho jayega, I'll introduce her to everyone myself. But for now, no peeking."
She groaned dramatically. "Sirrr!"
He chuckled, flipping open his file. "No more distractions, Tina. Patients are waiting. Go call the next one."
Still pouting, she huffed. "Fine, sir."
And with that, she walked out, already making mental notes to pry more details out of him later.
He shook his head in amusement, but as soon as the door closed, his gaze softened again. He took out his phone's gallery as girl's smiling picture came into his view...
It was none other than our Avni...
He traced his veiny fingers on her face...
'Breathtaking ' he murmurs staring at her dark brown eyes..
