Juhi finished up her papers.
Dr Shashank: Let's go home together.
Dr Juhi: Don't even dream about it. We are not going to walk inside together.
Dr Shashank: Let's enter and hold hands together.
He hugged her.
Dr Juhi: You are dreaming.
She kissed him and then pushed him away.

Dr Shashank: But Anjali hasn't brought another car for you.
Dr Juhi: I can take public transport.
Dr Shashank: You must be dreaming.
He pulled her hand to his car. She quickly grabbed her bags.

He drove them home. They listened to music and joked. It was all laugh.

But who had seen them together?

They got home when Anjali and Bani were eating dinner. Dr Juhi and Dr Shashank came in laughing because Dr Shashank had said a joke.

Dr Anjali: Some people are excited.
Dr Bani: Shashank come. I have cooked rice and curry chicken especially for you.
Dr Juhi: He doesn't eat fleshy things.
Dr Bani: You will eat this for me.
She pulled his hands.

Dr Juhi dragged him back to her with force.
Dr Juhi: Sorry, I will not let him gave just anything. I have to take care of him. Dr Shashank please go and freshen up.
Dr Anjali was just in awe but she didn't say anything. Dr Shashank and Dr Juhi left at separate times to their rooms.

Dr Juhi came out first. She put all the chicken things to the side. She brought out some other foodstuff and started cooking for herself and Dr Shashank.

Dr Shashank: What are you cooking?
Dr Juhi: One of my favourite food.
Dr Anjali: Just get ready to eat undone or overcooked food.
Dr Juhi turned.
Dr Juhi: F*ck you. 
Dr Bani: She doesn't look like someone who knows how to cook.
Dr Juhi: You don't look like a normal person.

Dr Shashank: Ouch.
Dr Anjali: I will just move back.
Dr Bani: I am just going to ignore this illiterate.
Dr Juhi: Who are you? No one knows you exist.
Dr Bani: Silence is the best answer for a fool.
Dr Juhi: Like you.
Dr Bani just walked out boiling. She didn't have a clap back.

Dr Anjali: What was that for?
Dr Juhi: She has been getting on my nerves.
Dr Shashank: She has a very sensitive heart Juhi.
Dr Juhi: Please.
She continues cooking.

Dr Anjali leaves to see her aunt. Dr Shashank hugged Dr Juhi from the back.
Dr Juhi: Go and meet your sensitive Bani.
Dr Shashank: You are so cute when jealous.
He kisses her neck.
Dr Juhi: Move back and let me cook.

After a few minutes,
Juhi served the eggplant lasagna.
Dr Shashank: This smells like heaven.
Dr Juhi: I am impressed with myself.
Anjali came from her room because of the aroma.

Dr Anjali: I can't believe that you cooked this

Dr Anjali: I can't believe that you cooked this.
Dr Juhi: Well, you can see it.
She sat down with Dr Shashank. She served his food. They both are together. Dr Anjali sat with them chatting Vardahan on her phone.

Dr Juhi and Shashank were just free with each other. They laughed and talked.
Dr Shashank: When are your nephew and niece coming?
Dr Juhi: They should be out of school by now. They should come in two days.
Dr Anjali: I am so excited about it.

Dr Shashank: Well, I have to tell your girls something I found out today.
Dr Anjali: What is that dad?
Dr Shashank: I got a call after leaving the hospital. There is an award function happening for people in medicine who have made an impact this year.
Dr Juhi: I heard about it. One of my friends in Pune is going.

Dr Shashank: Well, they invited me to talk about my recovery from my brain tumour.
Dr Anjali: That is exciting.
Dr Juhi: It means that you have to travel very soon. The event is on the 23rd in Doha.
Dr Shashank: Exactly, I want to go. The flight is being arranged.

Dr Anjali: Take the trip. I think you deserve it.
Dr Juhi: Just buy a lot of presents for us.
Dr Shashank: I will.
They finished eating. Dr Juhi went to the terrace. Dr Shashank joined her.

Dr Shashank: Hey.
Dr Juhi: Hey.
Dr Shashank: You are an excellent cook.
Dr Juhi: You eat too much.
They both laughed.
Dr Shashank: I am going to miss you when I got to Doha.
Dr Juhi: Silly. You are only going for 5days.
Dr Shashank: But still, I will miss your warm hugs and your beautiful smile.

Dr Juhi: You can see my smile every day on facetime.
Dr Shashank: It won't be the same.
Dr Juhi got a call and answered it. She talked to the person for a while and hanged up.

Dr Shashank: You seem excited.
Dr Juhi: I am. You won't have to miss me in Doha again.
Dr Shashank: Why?
Dr Juhi: Because I am getting an award again. They also need a young, fresh female doctor to be the face of the event.
Dr Shashank: And they decided to ask you.
She hit him.

Dr Juhi: I am young and fresh plus a hard worker. Have you seen my resume?
Dr Shashank: I practically made you popular.
Dr Juhi: Yeah, thanks for firing me from Sanjivani.
She laughed.
Dr Shashank: We have to be in the same suite.
Dr Juhi: You are a dreamer. I don't want any suspiciousness.

Dr Shashank: I will get us in the same suite. Leave that to me.
Dr Juhi: Don't do something stupid.
Dr Shashank: I will get own of those suites that have two to three rooms. But you will sleep on my bed.
He winked at her and called someone to arrange it.

He made up an excuse that since he is just fresh out of the hospital. He needs his doctor (Juhi) to be very close to him.

Dr Juhi: You are going to hell for all this lying and tricking people.
Dr Shashank: But it is true. I could faint or anything.
Dr Juhi: You have had more than enough recovery time.
Dr Shashank: Whatever! I just want to be with my baby.
He kissed her lips then her neck. 

Dr Juhi: I am going to pack and tell Anjali that she is all alone.
Dr Shashank: She will take care of the children alone.
Dr Juhi: She will call her prince charming Vardhan.
Dr Shashank: Don't remind me that we are leaving them alone in Mumbai.

They spoke to Dr Anjali and Dr Bani about it. Bani wanted to come but Dr Shashank told her that it's only by invite and for Doctor's based in India. The fool believed and didn't argue. 

Dr Juhi: Shashank, we haven't discussed Dr Ishani. She caught us in a private moment.
Dr Shashank: We will deal with that later.
Dr Juhi: Okay.

***********

Dr Ishani: I can't believe I caught them like that. I didn't know that they were in this type of relationship. Wow!
