Chapter 5 - SOMETHING IS FISHY

I felt someone is poking me trying to wake me up , I slowly opened my eyes and saw Tia beside me .

I startled so I jumped to the floor asking her what time is it ? Am I late ?

She laughed at me .

`` No it's just 6 am , I called Nurse Sophia to ask about your condition and she said you were not in bed when she went to check on you . I was so worried that I ran here . " she said and asked how and when did I come ?

`` Ohh.. When I woke up it was 3 am , I met Doctor Shiyaan and he drove me home " , I replied .

She stared at me and asked if something is going between Doctor Shiyaan and me??

`` What do you mean ? " , I asked her .

`` Are you both flirting ? " , she asked me .

` No it's nothing like that... ' , I replied .

`` And also he seems to know you from a long time " , she said .

` What made you think that ? ' , I asked her .

She said yesterday when I was taken to the hospital , he seemed worried after seeing me .

He examined me instead of other general doctors .

`` No way... I don't think that I know him . He must be worried because he saw us yesterday near the store " , I said and asked her to prepare a breakfast till then I took shower .

We had breakfast together and she headed to her apartment to get ready . I changed my clothes , did hair and makeup .

I locked the door headed to the car . Tia was waiting for me in the parking area , we took my car and left for the hospital .

When we reached there some of the nurses asked us if we are fine or not... , we giggled and said we are absolutely fit and fine .

They knew about last night , words spreads so fast , I murmured and smirked at them .

`` Doctor Tia you head first I will check on up my patients " , I said and headed towards ward .

While I was checking patient I saw Doctor Shiyaan coming towards the ward .

He came and stood next to me .

Goodmorning Doctor Shiyaan , I said .

Goodmorning Doctor Avni , he replied and asked me if I was fine ?

`` Yes I am alright " , I said and nodded at him .

``Why did you drank too much ? Because of your boyfriend ?? " he asked me curiously .

` No.. in excitement I didn't noticed how much I drank " , I giggled . By the way he was my ex , I said .

`Oh really ?? then we are set ' , he winked at me .

I felt kind of awkward and I asked him why is he here ?

`I saw you while passing through the corridor so came here to say hello ', He replied .

My phone rings , it was a call from Doctor Aman to discuss about a case , so I left waving at Doctor Shiyaan .

He was trying to say something but I had to go .

We planned and prepared patient for the surgery . I asked Doctor Aman to assist me and headed to the Operation Theatre . Surgery lasted about 6 hours , I was so exhausted and hungry that I walked to the cafeteria as soon as I stepped out from the OT .

I ordered cappuccino . Ahh... so delicious , I muttered . Literally I was about to die because of low blood sugar . I enjoyed 2 cups of coffee . And then I headed to the doctors room .

Doctor Shiyaan was reading magazine when I entered Doctors room . There was a silence for too long . Do you still love your ex - boyfriend ? Do you miss him? , he asked me all of sudden .

I was surprised so I was about to ask him why is he interested in my personal affairs..?

`` I am interested in you " , he said before I could ask him .

It's not about love or him but the memories that I am unable to brush them away , I replied .

`` He said its' better to move on and explore . "

I smiled at him . He didnot asked me further and kept on reading .

After a while , he took out a can of strawberry milk from his appron's pocket and handed me .

`` Do you still love it ? " , he asked me pointing at a can and I looked him up surprisingly .

I asked him how did he know that I love strawberry milk??

He said that somehow he happened to know .

I was so curious to know because except Tia no one in the hospital knows about it but I didnot asked him .

I didnot wanted to make fool of myself by expecting more .

`` But something is fishy about him , he was rude to me and now he says he is interested in me .

Is he mad ? " , I murmured .

He reached the door then said , `` I want you to assist me for tomorrow's surgery and he left ."

I followed him to ask about patient then he told briefly and handed me a patient's record file . We headed to the nurse station , all the doctors and nurses were there planning for weekend and we joined them .

An intern told `` we were not able to throw a welcome party for Doctor Shiyaan so we are planning to go for camping " .

Most of them seemed so excited and some of them were frowning because they will not be going as they have to be in hospital .

They asked me to choose location and I thought for a while .

`` I asked them what about duck harbor campsite ?"

Doctor Shiyaan said it's a good location and everyone agreed .

So we decided to go there and planned about barbeque and other stuffs .

`` Doctor Shiyaan , it seems like you have been there , haven't you?" Doctor Aman asked curiously .

Doctor Shiyaan nodded and said ` I have visited long ago so I want to go there again and recall the memories ' .

` When did you go ? By any chance you used to live here ??' An intern , Doctor Evan asked him .

`` Yes , We used to live here in states . We moved to canada when I was 16 " , he replied .

There were asking questions to Doctor Shiyaan as if they are reporters .

This time nurse Sophia made serious face and asked him , `` Many other big hospitals were trying to hire you with good offer but why did you join here ?? "

Now everyone stared at Doctor Shiyaan with curiosity and he instantly replied , ` this hospital offered me more ' , he chuckled .

They didnot believed his words and kept on asking .

`` Hmmm ,I came here to find someone " , he said staring at me and after a while he giggled .

I was feeling kind of awkward and embarrased , he happened to noticed that and turned to the other side .

`` Okay it's decided and we are going this weekend " , I said .

We cheered up and headed to our own way .

`` Avni , wait for me " , I heard a voice of Tia from behind .

We went to the changing area , I changed my clothes and we left for home .

On the way Tia asked me , ``Avni Did you noticed Doctor Shiyaan's eyes were on you while saying he came here to find someone " .

I nodded and said but I don't remember meeting him .

He told that ` he moved to Canada at the age of 16 so I was 9 or 10 at that time and it's obvious to not remember even if I had known him ' , I said

`` Yes , it is.... " , she replied .

`` I don't think he meant his words when he said that " , I said .

By the time we reached the building and I asked her to join me for dinner .

11th floor murder hasnot been solved yet so it was little horrible to be alone .

`` Okay , I will be back " , she replied and went to her apartment .

I took shower , wore my pajama and prepared ingedrients for the dinner .

I heard Tia's footsteps and I made coffee for both of us .

We enjoyed our coffee while watching tv then cooked food and had dinner .

It was just 9 pm so we planned to watch horror movie so Tia and I went to buy snacks and drinks . And after coming back I setted the table while Tia searched for a movie .

She played a movie and handed me a beer can but I denied because I have to assist Doctor Shiyaan in tomorrow's surgery then she brought me coke and we started to watch movie .

We watched till 12 am and selpt , it was 5 : 15 in the morning when I woke up .

I covered Tia with a blanket as she had thrown it away . And the I went for a walk .

When I returned Tia wasnot there , I took a shower and started looking patient's chart .

In a meantime , Tia came with breakfast . She brought sandwiches with her and made coffee in my place .

We had breafast and then headed to the hospital .
