850 Words
"c'mon sweetheart , now don't be a spoil sport huh " his evil eyes staring right into mine with such intensity that i was afraid to even blink ...for any other person it would look he was as calm as the morning breeze but i knew what the monster he is behind that calm aura .
"p-please i-i am sorry .....i w-won't do i-it again ..i promise " keeping aside my self respect i pleaded grabbing his leg to save my dignity ...
my eyes were burning with the amount of tears i have shed , he now looked at me with the expression i dreaded the most ...the expression which i was very familiar with now ...the expression that told me how bruised ,battered and lifeless i was going to end up now .
"aww baby , your expression tells me that you have figured it out that no matter how much you beg , plead ...you won't be spared " his expression turned into an amused one .
"so let the game began now"
"khushi"
"khushi"
"khushi"
snapping her eyes open she saw her dad was trying to wake her up
"good morning dad" she said wiping off the sweat on her forehead
"again the nightmare " her dad sighed and she stiffened
"o-oh n-no dad i-i think t-the AC is not working " khushi lied not wanting him to get worried
"we don't use AC in winters beta" he sadly smiled at her reminding her that she can't hide her pain from him .
"Khushi Khushi , uthja..or you would be late for your work " a woman's angry voice broke their trances and they chuckled
"Khushi beta , come on get up or your maa is coming with her favourite sandal in her hand" he said and both of them started laughing but she suddenly stopped and her face turned into horror
"damn papa , what time is it " she asked him
"it's already 8:30" he lazily said and then grinned .
"s**t I am late again , why couldn't you just get me up sooner " she hurriedly get off her bed and ran to the bathroom
"if you would stop sleeping like khumbhkaran then I could definitely wake you up sooner" the man chuckled and left.
KHUSHI'S POV
In half an hour I was ready , I dressed in jeans and top and ran downstairs
"khushi where are you going , sit and have your breakfast now" maa said sternly
I ran to her and hugged her , she kissed my cheeks.
"sorry maa , I would eat in the cafeteria ..i am already late ..and maa papa don't be late , you know your appointment is at 5 pm toady , so please come to hospital on time " I gave papa a hug and then picked up my car keys and left for the hospital where I work in...the place which gave me solace .
I opened the door of my office and grabbed my stethoscope and started doing the morning work ...that is checking upon my cute little patients.
"hey kids , watcha doing " I chirped but none of them responded ...they saw me but ignored me and kept doing what they were doing ...the nurses giggled and I pouted
"dr. Khushi , you didn't come to meet them for three days , so all of them are angry with you " one of the nurse said
"but sister , I thought that since I am coming after 3 days to meet them , I thought I would spend my whole day with them , I thought we would do a movie marathon and eat some chocolate and then I would read them stories but what can I do , they are angry with me , so I think I should cancel my plan ..let's just do the regular checkup and then I would leave" I dramatically talked in a louder voice so that could reach their ears and as expected all of them fell for it and ran towards me crushing me with their hugs.
"dr . Khushi ,dr. Khushi " this was all that echoed in the children wards as my plan accomplished .
"dr. khushi , w-will y-you seriously s-spend day wi-wit-with us" little Raven asked , oh how much I adore these kids ...they give me peace , nopes , they are my peace ...these kids are my life and the only purpose of my life is to give them a healthy life .
"ok so let's first complete your check ups and then we will go with our plan ..ok kids" I said
"yeahhhh" they yelled enthusiastically in unison .
And the day went by like that , with these children ,with my new life .......
yeh bewakoof hai jo kehte hai
ki khushiyaan sirf
takdeerwalon ko naseeb hoti hai ,
kabhi apne aas paas nazar ghumaiye ga janab
khush rehne ke liye takdeer ki zarurat nahi hoti hai ..........
