Anu was awakened from her dreamland after hearing a loud crash,She frowned and glanced towards the direction of sound to find that the commotion was caused by Swetha."Sorry ,did I wake you up,it's already 6 a.m,you can wake up and get ready for classes anyway." With that Swetha left for her morning jog.
Anu didn't mind her got up and made her bed,took a shower and got ready for her appointment that she had with her therapist for the treatment that her doctor recommended her.
As allopathic medicines were causing some allergic reactions she started taking traditional medicine, even though they aren't very popular compared to olden days ,traditional medicine will always win when it comes to long term problems.
Anu was diagnosed with AS when she started her senior high ,she started to lose confidence after reading all the articles online ,later she met Mr.Pal who started a new treatment program ,after continuous medical care she started to have a pain free life,she will be always a pain free bird until she takes her medicine, she is so addicted to these medicines that she can't manage a single day without them.
What Anu hates most is consuming these meds everyday and started to think about other people who are in same situation like her.one day she will find a permanent cure for this ,but that topic is for the future.
Anu reached hospital by 8 A.M ,by the time she reached her doctor was already waiting for Anu to introduce her to her therapist Ms.Arya.
Mrs.Arya is a senior therapist with good heart.she immediately felt bad for Anu as she was way too young to get diagnosed with AS.
'This girl is atmost 17 yrs old,how can she endure these harsh treatments,'Mrs.Arya thought and looked at Anu sympathetically.
That's the look Anu hates the most,but she knew that this lady only meant good for her ,she smiled gently and greeted Mrs.Arya.
They proceeded towards the therapy room,where Anu bumped into Mr.therapist again.They both nodded at each other and Anu followed Mrs.Arya .she looked back and wondered whether Mr.Therapist still remember her or not.
Inside the therapy room,Mrs.Arya started preparing for nasyam and asked Anu to lie down,inorder to make Anu feel less nervous, Mrs.Arya started to engage her in some conversation. After 15 minutes She was surprised to find out the will power of this little girl and how she endured everything. After one hour ,her day one treatment was complete and Anu went downstairs to meet her doctor and inform about how she felt.After that she left from there.
As it's walkable distance between the hospital and her dorm,she didn't book any cab and started walking .after walking for 3 minutes she started feeling dizzy and was about to fall down when a strong hand grasped her from behind.when she opened her eyes and looked back to thank the person she was surprised to see Mr.Therapist.
"Thankyou, just now...I was feeling dizzy" she babbled.
'Anu....what the hell ,how can you stammer like an idol craze fan,what will he think'she criticized her actions in her mind.
"It happens when you walk after nasyam,you should take rest and leave after sometime,anyway get on my bike I will drop you for today" He said somewhat nonchalantly and went back to his bike.
Anu stood there without moving trying to understand what just happened. Soon he came with his bike and motioned her to get on.
'Anu..eventhough he asked to get on,you can't do that,he is a stranger ,just because he is handsome you can't let him think that you are an easy girl..wait...why the hell will he think you are easy just because you got on his bike..uuughhhhhhh....You can't get on his bike because he is a stranger that's the correct reason. 'Anu reasoned with her own thoughts and Gave Mr.Therapist a smile and said,"Well I am alright now, thankyou,it's just 5 minutes from here".
"Next time you fall down ,nobody will come to pick you up,why don't you get on,I can't wait for you all the day."With that he started his bike.
Without waiting for any further word ,Anu soon got on his bike .
"Hold me tight"he said and started to drive.
'What the hell Anu,you actually got on his bike and obediently held him ,just because he asked you to,don't you have girl pride at all ,'Anu started self blaming for her actions that she had no control over when she was ordered to do by Mr.handsome therapist. Poor Anu :(
He soon dropped her infront of her dorm and left.Anu reached her room in daze and lied down on her bed.
'Wait how does he know where I stay.' Anu was enlighted about the serious fact that she ignored just now.
Soon her stomach started growling ,she threw her reason and went to canteen for her breakfast, after breakfast she back and took her journal and sat infront of her laptop and started doing her work.After sometime,she felt tired and slept for sometime..
She woke up when she got a call from home and spoke with her mom ,after sometime she hung up and glanced at time to find out that it's already 5 p.m.she took her strawberry milk shake and walked towards balcony .she got a call from her cousin Faru informing her that he is already downstairs, she went to meet him,he soon left from there after giving her a package that he got from his mother.
She took the package and went back to the room,after placing the package on her desk,she came downstairs and informed her warden that she won't be having dinner from canteen and left the dorm.
After walking out of the gate ,she hired a cab and left to Hotel palace to meet her best friend Shiva,there she saw him already waiting for her at the entrance, "Hey ,lollipop I thought you stood up on me and was planning to go back ,how can you be so late for an appointment?" The teenager started whining.
Anu looked at the teenager with a handsome face who has brown eyes ,straight nose and devilish smile that hanged on his thin lips.'No wonder he attracts girls like magnet ,with that smile he sure is irresistible ,thinking of handsomeness he is still overshadowed by Mr.Therapist..aah!!!Anu why are thinking about him right now.'Anu had another battle with her imaginary inner devil .
With a threatening smile she glanced at the teenager and replied showing her fists" ...you can try going back if you want to become my sand bag."
"Why are you whining like a kid?" Reprimanded by his father Mr.Ram,he smiled at Anu "How are you doing my baby girl?look at you, you are so thin !are you even eating properly ?I told your mother to let you stay at our place,you can go to school with this Rascal ,but she said that you wanted to stay at dorm."
Mr.Ram always wanted a girl ,but after giving birth to his son ,his wife passed away due to complications and he always treated Anu ,the daughter of his best friend as his own daughter .
"I am eating properly uncle ,I am staying at dorm because it's easy for me to go to hospital and I will always call you or this monkey if I need something,see you are worrying for nothing, " Anu answered and dragged both the son and father into the private room .
"Okay ,I will send some food to you with this Rascal ,do remember to eat properly " Mr.Ram expressed his worry for Anu.
"Okay unlce!" Replied Anu with a sweet smile and looked at her best friend who was looking at her with depressed eyes.
She eyed at him asking 'what's wrong with you monkey?'
' I need your help ,make my father leave soon .'he answered .
