LB: Such a hectic day it is!!

Elena: Indeed Aunty

LB & Elena were the last ones to leave the house. Sona's seniors had reasoned with her that the hillsmen will never believe that a treatment up here will be as effective as that in the plains. To make her seniors reconcile she had to change their mindset at any cost & for that she had to do something. So she decided to organize a medical camp offered by Dev's company of course, where she along with some other doctors would diagnose patients who'll attend their camp for just 5 rupees. They didn't make it free 'cause free things are not valued, so to add some value & respect to this motion Sona decided to charge just 5 rupees which was almost free. After a drive of 10 minutes LB & Ele reached the camp

Ele: What's the good news?

Dev: Koi nahi aaya subah se...  Sona baithi hai waha akele...  I don't know how to cheer her up

Elena went towards Sona

Elena: Eh Sona... 

Sona: Hmm

Elena: Log aayenge yaar bas tu tension na le

Sona: Mai kaise tension lungi jab meri ye pagali se friend hai na mera mood thik karne ke liye

Elena: That's like my good girl

Jatin: Kya baahein chal rahi hain?

Jatin & Juhi had gone to bring refreshments for the patients, attendants & doctors

Vicky: Kya laaye?Kya laaye khane ke liye?

Dev: Gaon basa nahi bhikhari pehle aa gaye

Vicky narrowed his eyes & glared at Dev.

Dev:Mazak kar raha hu bhai

Dev patted his back. Elena saw Vicky bonding with the rest & didn't want to spoil their mood so she left that place & went to help LB with some arrangements. Juhi followed her.

Juhi: Koi problem?

Elena: No

Juhi: Everyone deserves a second chance Ele... Vicky too..

Before Juhi could complete her sentence Elena walked past her. Juhi looked back at the rest of the group & made a sad face

Vicky: Bahut tedhi kheer hai ye ladki...  Waise kheer se yaad aaya khane me kya hai?

Sona: Aren't you dieting? Jatin to keh raha tha ki you are surviving on protein shake

Vicky: Woh...  Elena bahut tension de rahi hai mujhe to stress hota hai & stress se bahut bhook lagti hai

Dev: Tujhe bhook lagne & nahi lagne me difference Pata chalta bhi hai? Bhookad of the first order.

Everyone had a good laugh but Sona just smiled feebly. Her eyes were fixed on the road ahead. "Hard luck Dr.  Bose ... I doubt ki ab koi aayega.
bhi...  We are sitting here since the past one hour & not even a stray rabbit has come here. I guess I am asking for too much" Sona's thoughts were turning pessimistic.

Dev: Don't sit like this Ms. Kharghosh

Sona: Kharghosh?

Dev: Yes Kharghosh...  Ab I won't wait for something big to happen to give you a nickname

Sona: OK Mr. Aubhodro!

Dev: Look at the brighter side of the fact that no one is coming

Sona:Accha!?! What is it? May I know?
