Chapter 6 - I am Kartik Mittal!

Uncle Chauhan just told Kartik that he has bought City Line Hospital but there is a big problem. Hearing this, Kartik replied, "Is there a problem? I don't understand anything."

Uncle told him, "Your intention behind buying Prince Hospital is very good. But our focus is on business, not hospital management."

After thinking a bit about what he said, he said, "You are right! I think we should hire the old management of this hospital again, what do you think?"

Uncle became a little serious and said, "You are absolutely right Prince, but I have heard that their head Sachin Arora is firm on his principles, I don't think he will show interest in taking over the management of the hospital again."

Karthik said, "Don't worry uncle, I will go and talk to Mr. Sachin Arora myself."

Uncle hesitated and said, "But Prince yourself…"

Before he could say anything further, Karthik said, "Yes uncle, I will go and meet him myself."

Uncle said, "City Line Hospital is the biggest hospital in Delhi, I just want that now that our brand is associated with it, the graph of this hospital should not fall."

Karthik was listening to him very carefully.

Kartik was realizing the seriousness of what uncle had just said. "Yes, it will be exactly like that." Saying this, he hung up the phone.

Even after hanging up the phone, he was still thinking about how he would talk to Sachin Arora. Then Neel's voice came, "Don't you have to go to college today? We are already late."

Karthik noticed that Neil was not looking funny on his face today and said, "Are you still angry?"

Neil replied, "Who am I to get angry, after all you are such a great prince, sorry prince, you are also the decision maker, so what can I say now?"

Even though Neel was denying being angry, it was clear from his words that he was very angry with Kartik.

Kartik was a little hurt by his words but with a smile he put his hand on his shoulder and said, "What are you saying! You are my best friend...please don't talk like this!"

Karthik further continued, "My aim is to fulfill the last condition of my parents, to get a degree on my own, if you don't understand me then who else will?"

Neel looked at him and said, "Friend, but now there is no one to see your sacrifice. Now whom are you doing all this to show?"

Kartik looked straight into his eyes and said, "But I am alive. I don't want anyone to question my identity and status 10 years from now."

Karthik explained to him lovingly and said, "You are my friend, my brother, you are my everything. If you do not motivate me then how will I be able to succeed in my goal?"

After explaining so much, Neel got convinced by her words. He nodded yes and threw the keys of his scooter towards her and said, "So let's go in your pride ride?"

Karthik smiled and hugged Neil and said "Thanks friend!"

Neil said in his joking tone, "Stop it, you fool! Will you make me cry?"

After reaching the college, he was parking his scooter when he heard someone's voice from behind, "Have you come to your senses?"

Hearing this, as soon as he turned back, he saw that Rahul was standing there with his friends and making fun of him, "Last night you were acting like a hero! You were talking more than your capacity! What happened today? Where did your girlfriend go? Your sports car?"

Karthik started moving ahead with Neil, ignoring her.

Shanon was also with Rahul, she laughed and said, "What Rahul! You too, I don't know why you are talking to these down market people!"

Kartik was calm, but Neel was not able to tolerate all this. He turned back and looked at Rahul and said, "It seems you could not tolerate your defeat, that is why you have come once again to get your honour looted."

Saying this, Rahul grabbed his shirt collar and said, "Listen Double Battery, enmity should be made with those who are equals. Do you understand?"

Meanwhile, Kartik reached there and pushed Rahul back and said, "I am silent. This does not mean that I am weak! It can also be that you have not understood me yet!"

Rahul was a little shocked to hear this, but then he laughed and said, "What a drama!" Saying this, he signaled his friends to go back.

***********

On the other hand, Shefali was busy working at her desk. She often felt that her colleagues were whispering to each other after seeing her and were suddenly behaving very well with her.

Shefali found the changed attitude of her colleague strange. She thought, "Why are these people behaving like this suddenly?"

She was thinking about it when her office friend Kajal came and sat on the chair next to her and teasingly hit her with her elbow and said, "You turned out to be very fast, we kept counting the money of that tycoon here and you reached his house directly."

"What are you saying, I don't understand anything," Shefali said hiccuppingly.

Kajal said jokingly, "Stop it, don't lie to me, I know everything, last night you were with Kartik Mittal, you went to his house, I know everything."

Hearing this, Shefali got a little upset and asked Kajal, "How did you know?"

Kajal replied, "Not just us, the entire bank knows about this."

Shefali started looking at him with questioning eyes. Actually Rahul had made some photos of Kartik and Shefali's car racing viral from a fake account, that is why today the only talk in City Bank was about Kartik and Shefali.

Kajal even showed Shefali her photos, Shefali got upset after seeing her photo.

Kajal said smilingly, "Yaar Sefali, your whole life is set, don't let this guy go."

Shefali tried to clarify to Kajal, "You all are misunderstanding, there is nothing like that between us, we are just good friends."

Kajal cleared her throat and said, "Some great man has said that a boy and a girl can never be friends."

She further said smilingly, "Oh, because of you, I forgot that the boss has asked me to prepare the balance sheet. I will talk to you later!" Saying this, she left from there.

After he left, Shefali said in a worried tone, "Who made our photo viral? Is this Kartik's doing?"

*******

At this time, Karthik and Neel were present in the college canteen, when Rahul along with some of his friends arrived in the canteen creating a ruckus.

Seeing both of them, Rahul winked at the boys with him and reaching near Karthik, said in a serious tone, "Are you ready for the match?"

After listening to him, Neel and Karthik started looking at him with questioning eyes.

Rahul raised his eyebrows and said, "If you are scared of playing a football match with Rahul, then now is the time, rub your nose on my shoes in front of the whole college and say sorry."

There were some other boys also present with him, Rahul laughed with them and said further, "And anyway Rahul has such a big heart that he will forgive you once again."

Kartik was finding Rahul's talks absurd since morning. He said in irritation, "I don't know which match you are talking about?"

On this, one of Rahul's friends came forward and placed a pamphlet on Karthik's table. Karthik picked up the pamphlet and saw that it had a picture of Rahul and Karthik and the details of the football match were given.

That boy said, "Don't you know, Rahul has challenged you for a football match, it is tomorrow morning, see whether you have ABS or not!"

Rahul gave a sarcastic smile and said, "And invite your rented girlfriend too."

Karthik was just smiling after listening to him. Rahul got irritated seeing his attitude. He came very close to him and stared angrily at him and said, "Show this attitude to someone else! If you still have the guts, then show it in the match! I will see you in the field, after medical"

Karthik said with questioning eyes "What?? Medical"

Rahul looked back at him and said laughingly, "Didn't you read the notice?"

"Read it carefully, it is written in English." Saying this, he made a face and left the place with his friends.

After he left, Neel put his hand on Karthik's shoulder and said, "Friend, sometimes I feel like breaking the arms and legs of this Rahul's child and make him beg on the streets."

Karthik looked at him and said jokingly, "Let it go friend, why are you talking to fools?"

इसके बाद दोनों नोटिस देखने निकल गए, उसपर लिखा था, ''please have your blood sample delivered to my office with further regular checkup report, before the end of the day…students who fail to do so will not be eligible to participate in football team ''

Karthik said, "Let's go to the medical room quickly, I have to send a blood sample to the sports teacher."

Saying this, he walked away from there towards the medical room at a very high speed.

Rahul and his friends were already present in the medical. They had come there with a plan. They told the nurse sitting there, "Sir, don't worry about money at all, just take Kartik's blood and give it to us."

The nurse said fearfully, "If anyone finds out, I will lose my job."

Rahul looked at him and said, "Sir, if anyone finds out, then neither we will tell anyone, nor you will tell anyone and no one will believe Kartik's words."

For the greed of money, the nurse agreed to give Karthik's blood sample to Rahul.

Meanwhile, Kartik reached the medical room with Neil.

Seeing Karthik in front of him, Rahul said to the nurse, "Okay sir, my work is done."

After saying this, he glared at Karthik and went away from there.

After some time, after giving the blood sample, Kartik also left for his class with Neel.

********

Almost half a day had passed, Kartik and Neil had finished their classes and reached City Line Hospital. They were just entering the hospital when Kartik saw Shefali at the reception. She was busy filling up the forms.

Seeing Shefali, a smile came on Kartik's face. When Neil saw both of them, he smiled and said to Kartik, "Will you keep standing here and laughing at her or will you go and say hi hello to her?"

Then Karthik reached Shefali and said, "Hi Shefali how are you?"

Hearing his voice, Shefali became very happy for a moment but as soon as she looked at Karthik, she remembered what Rahul had said. She spoke in a slightly subdued voice, "Hello Karthik" and stood quietly after saying this.

Karthik continued his talk and said, "How is your father?"

Shefali again said rudely "now he is fine" and started thinking "It seems he is giving me a hint, is he trying to take advantage of me? That is why he followed me and reached here, before he says anything I will tell him."

After saying this, Shefali looked at Karthik and said, "Look, I understand what you want to say."

Hearing this, Karthik looked at him with questioning eyes.

Really Shefali was nervous, she thought for a while and said, "Yes, I will transfer the entire money you gave me back to your bank account." Kartik started laughing after hearing her and looking straight into her eyes said, "There is no need for that." He would have completed his sentence, but Shefali did not give him a chance to speak and said, "I have some work."

Kartik found this weird behavior of Shefali strange. Even Neil standing far away was shocked to see this behavior of Shefali.

Neil went to Kartik and said, "Friend, this girl turned out to be very selfish, she did not thank you even once."

Kartik was also surprised, he said, "I don't know what happened to him?" Then after thinking for a while, Kartik said, "Let's go and talk to Mr. Arora."

Saying this, both of them reached the head office of the hospital's management department. After reaching there, they knocked on the door. Someone from inside said "come in" and they went inside. Inside, Sachin Arora was checking his files.

He had never seen Karthik face to face, so he could not recognize him. On seeing Karthik he said uninterestedly, "Tell me how can I help you?"

Karthik said, "I am Karthik Mittal!"

Hearing this name, Sachin's facial expression changed. He said with some irritation, "Yes, I know, you have come here to ask me to vacate this cabin. My work is done, you don't need to tell me, I am leaving from here."

Saying this he started setting up his file.

Karthik looked at him and said, "No no, you are misunderstanding."

Sachin looked at him and became a little sarcastic and said, "I have understood you very well, you are a billionaire, but I did not understand one thing, you had to come yourself to get the cabin vacated from me. This cabin could have been vacated with just one phone call from you, then why did you take the trouble of coming here yourself, Mr. Mittal?"

Karthik became serious and said, "Tell me clearly what you want?"

Sachin set down his file and looked at Karthik and said, "Will you be able to hear what I want to say?"
