Chapter 2 - core memory

Sun , the biggest star of the solar system and Dhriya ? she was the sun of her loved ones. Not one morning was left unlisted with her daily chores , she was rather an early bird . Early to bed early to rise , makes Dhriya healthy wealthy and wise , beautiful too. ' I love you ' she said to the reflection of her own . Oh how badly she wanted to kiss herself through the mirror. ' hello goodmorning maa , yeah ' she almost slipped her phone off her hands reaching the wet toilet sink. ' brush karliya warm water peeliya now it's time to freshn up' she sled through her walk in closed , got inside huge loads of comfy wears , stacked like a huge pile of claustrophobic oven. ' kurti , leggings , dupatta or anarkali , leggings and dupatta ' she stucked with a dilemma. ' anarkali leggings and dupatta done' Red her favourite colour of all , perhaps she loves almost all the colours but this was something else. It reminded her of the time of her childhood where her mother would most of the time would prefer to wear red colour with her forehead shining with the vermilion. It was her mother, it reminded her of her mother. She dropped her dupatta above her bossoms. She looked like an angel. It was still a mystery for her friends and family that how was she considered Obese? Fat ?or should we say overweight? . The beauty standards here was very new to her , no night went by without her crying and whimpering about those bullys she encounters every day night in the field work. It didn't felt even good to work . But her motivations were not reasonable, she was committed to this work. She had sacrificed alot for this profession.

' Doctor Dhriya Shastri ready for the day ?!! Let's go !! ' She placed a small red bindi right at centre of her forehead , trimmed unibrows. All these luxury wasn't something permanent in her life , she got this after she had entered this chosen path . She was only Dhriya when she didn't have this life , but now she is Dhriyu , Dhrubi , best friend what not. Seems like relations change with money. Her colleagues returned her heartwarming smile , she was their favourite. They were so close to her , that they would always find themselves in her cabin eating their lunch together or at Sundays in her varanda eating the freshly cooked salmon , rotisserie chicken , butter chicken , biriyani , dahi vada , dosa and whatever they would chose to prefer that sunday. ' morning everybody ' she swept inside her cabin with one last glance at all of them , a wink to not forget. Carefully placing her bag and apron she moves to sit in her armed chair , relaxing and then straightening her poster , documents of pateint profiles that were rather opened last night and pateint reports cleanly seated at the side of the table. And what caught her eyes was a neatly placed , rather a new pateint profile , welcoming her to open it placed at the centre of the desk grabbing her attention. Her hands flipped aside the pages and took hold of the profile. ' Dhriya , Doctor Jeon would like to see you ' Feli her colleague informed. ' thank you Feli ' She closes the profile almost forgetting about it , she made her way towards the Cheif medical officer .

' you wanted to see me Cheif ' Her voice sincere. ' Yes , Dr Shastri , please have a seat ' his voice was smoother than ever. Doctor Jeon Jungkook was actually transfered to this Hospital for his availability and extra care for the service of this hospital , his father was the former CEO of this Hospital franchisee and his mother was a physiotherapist in the other branch of this hospital. His sister Jeon Somi a high profile gynaecologist was placed under him in this hospital itself. Vitalis was the name of the hospital , currently owned by Kim Namjoon a leader and politician. Dr Jeon was recently transferred and the first day of his arrival was something to keep as a core memory.

He clearly remembers the incident occurred a week ago when all the staffs of the huge hospital along with all the doctors stood ahead to welcome him . He didn't expect anything , but what he got was double the amount of love he received ever before in his life. Few males were guiding him and two female doctors came forward to hand him a bouquet. The auditorium filled with all the Doctors and Medical Students , as Vitalis had a campus having both a main centre and a medical college famous for it's infrastructure and professors along with the richy rich students who get into it. ' Good Morning to all the Medicos and MD's , here i the former Cheif Medical Director Lee Yangsu wants to announce the arrival of your new and welcomed Cheif Medical Director Doctor Jeon Jungkook , he will further hold the charge of the hospital and medical college and will supervise everything hand in hand Thank You ' The auditorium echoed with claps and hootings , later which were silenced by his tap in the microphone. ' Good Morning To all the Students and practicing doctors and thank you for being here at this moment to welcome me by all your heart , i promise to be by all of your side , and work on to help you all whenever in need , remember Service is in our hands and the care lies beneath it , a good hospital does two things prior, they look after pateints and teach young doctors , thank you ' his voice wasn't cold but had a strict monotone.

'Uhumm , he is quite young ' ' only 41 ' whispers could be heard , she knows who are they. A sigh left her mouth ' I hope i would make good relations with him , to win his trust and do my best ' her mind fogged with thoughts. The auditorium started to clear up , the crowd of white aprons were now appeared to be seen in the huge Cafeteria of the Campus. Making small steps towards the place she was announced to gather along with her colleagues , standing tall next to her friends she smiled at them. They all looked kind of more beautiful today , perhaps was it her who noticed today or was it the glossy makeup they had in the sharp edges of their faces. But somehow they looked more than presentable today . She knew what the presentation was for. As she was nearer to the conference Podium she was called out for the other ceremonies. She took the signature Stethoscope of the hospital, studded with small tiny diamonds. As he entered , the group rose up and welcomed him all together, again. He went near towards her , one gaze and he could see how she looked more like a foreigner. Dr D .Shastri he read through her apron badge. A gentle smile playing on her lips as she wore him the stethoscope , claps emerged numbing their ears . He looked into her eyes , serenity. As the atmosphere cooled down. He stood at the podium and gave his speech. Just then through his peripheral vision he saw the female who he possibly read her name as Shastri almost loosing her senses stumbling a little here and there , before anyone could rush towards her he ran towards her holding her tight at mere moment she was about to fall. Her eyes blew open , no she can't ruin his first day . It's his day , she should not take away anyone's attention. Eye contact , a rather intimate way of capturing details of one . And they both were on it , looking deep in the eyes , kind of forgetting about the hospital there itself. ' Be careful , let's go and eat in the cafe together okay ! ' it wasn't a question rather an order. She nodded her head with a sheer amount of guilt. He exited the room with her behind him . Entering the cafe , medicos could be heard gaping and whispering things here and there. She followed him like a lost puppy.

Sitting still infront of him , as he went through the menue. ' I would like to have a bread , omelette and green tea please and you ? Dr-' he stared at the badge near her chest ' Shastri , sorry if I didn't pronounce properly' he almost mispronounced it . It was very common for people here mispronouncing her name , not a big deal. ' No it's all right sir , even I got a little filmsy with your name , Dr Jeon ahm ah hh ' ' mmm Jeon Jungkock no Jeon Jungglebook no no no Jeon Jung- 'her voice was merely audible ,but he heard it all , she could swear she will cry the very next moment, so embarassing. 'Jungkook - Jeon Jungkook ' he completed her. Ah right , Jeon Jungkook, no she would never forget, never ever. ' pardon ' she heaves . Clamping around their food they ate glancing once in evey minute. And when they get caught doing so , their cheeks turn deepest shades of red. Oh never in her ever dreams would she think Of such a situation. ' Thank You for sitting along and having Breakfast with me ' Her hands shook with the tension, it was something else. His eyes went up and down time to time , glancing her face until he remembers her face forever. ' I was hungry too ' this is what he said and left.

Hurrying her feet towards her cabin she places herself calming her racing heart. Oh how bad she blushed , she looks like she is having a fever. ' No Personal feelings attached ' her wall read a small note.

As she sat across him , his face lifted up to watch her , it's been a week since he saw her. 'So Dr Shastri i just wanted you to look through the reports of a new patient , please look forward to be a part of this case , we would need you alot and i-' his phase got disturbed as a wind blew through his cabin , blowing off a picture of what looked like a picture of a patient towards him blocking his eyes and then dropping beneath him in the ground. Inorder to help him she bent but to her surprise her head bounced back with a little force . ' ohh ' they said aloud . Their heads collided , silly . ' sorry i ' he wasn't able to complete. She looked in pain , still being below the tabel he went near her , capturing her head in his palms examining her wound . Oh it was deep green in a second. As he touched through her wound his hand felt the sensations. She looked through the gap of his hands , he looked like a small kid trying to fix his toys. Both were too engrossed unaware of the vision of a particular being , staring directly at the destiny of the birds. If they were the birds then he were the feathers that defined them and their future. Eyes so dark , alluring epitome of Seduction glared them , the photo of the pateint layed flattend across them , it was almost like the picture brought their fates together somewhere , somehow and would also be responsible for them to be apart.
