I explained my sister that I would be coming home the following weekend…
She was upset at first, but later after flattering her in a couple of sweet and cute ways, she agreed…
After lunch, I was feeling damn sleepy ‘cause I hadn’t slept well at night but I ought to teach Ashu…
Ashu had to attend her tuitions in the evening, so we studied till 5:30.
Almost all her queries were solved by then… and she was feeling so confident that she herself told me –
“Di, its okay if you can’t come back home next weekend…”
That put an end to the guilt and remorse I was feeling because of Monish!!!!!
I had to call up Monish and inform him regarding my arrival at Nadiad…
I clumsily dialed his number….
Tring…. Tring….
“Hey S.G.”
I loved it when he said that…!!
Actually I loved everything about him, everything he did, everything he said…
“Hi Monish… How’s your Sunday going???? What’re you doing???”
“Having tea at Vaniyavad with Vaibhav… How was your Sunday??? Did you go to sleep in the afternoon???”
“I had to teach Ashu…. I wanted to sleep but could not sleep…”
“Awwwwwww… Sleep early todayyyyy…. When are you coming to Nadiad??”
“Tomorrow morning… around 10 AM… “
“Ahaa… Jaldi aa jati to pick up kar leta teko bus stop se…”
“Ohhhh… That is so very thoughtful of you… Thank you Monish…. What did you do the whole day??”
“I just slept… Had I not slept, I would have kept texting you… Hehe…”
“Oh yeahhhh… No wonder you did not text me even once throughout the day… M.D.S…”
“Yes S.G… Smart you’re!!!!!”
“What else Dr ???? “
“Nothing… Let’s meet up tomorrow…”
“Yup… done… Will call you up after I reach there…”
“Deal… Byeee Rimshaaaa… Cya tomorrow… Bon Voyage”
“Thank you Monishhhh… Cyaaa…”
We hung up…
12th May 2008 Monday…
09:15 hours…
“1 unread message”
MONISH
“Wlcm back vgm”
His text message always made me smile…
Sorry!! MONISH could always make me smile, no matter what…
“VGM”
“Where’re you RIM?”
“Still on the way… Getting bored in the bus”
“Okay… Call up when you get free.. I shall get back to work now.. TC RIM!”
“K Monish… TC”
After a four hour long and tiring bus journey, I finally reached Nadiad…
I had already called up Disha and informed her that I would be late…
At around 10:15, I reached the department…
“Hey Rimsha… How was your journey??? You could have taken rest for today… We would have managed” Disha seemed to be a sweet and considerate girl… May be I was judgmental for her…
She was a nice girl…
“Are Disha… My journey was really tiring…”
“Okay… you sit and study… We shall manage the patients.. Don’t worry…” she said…“And ya… we’ve named our batch “5 star girls batch…How’s it?”
“Oh wowwwww… That’s so super awesome…”
I so loved that name…
