Chapter 11
"Ravi what are you doing here? You were supposed to be in Ninni's room. She is about to go for a major surgery." I told one of my staff who was loitering around instead of working, his mobile phone in his hand.
I am sure he'd be forwarding latest porn videos to his friends.
"Uh unmmm.. " he almost stood startled "yeah sure. I .. I " he stuttered rising suspicions "I was here to pick ..."
"Are you okay?" I asked, "Why are you sweating?"
I knew the exact reason why since one of the workers were expelled earlier for exchanging dirty videos during work hours.
But.. as they say men will be men!
So I ignored..
I am that great you see
"Yeah yeah I am fine" he wiped off his sweat beaded forehead "I have been in hurry since morning' his tone sudden confident and less conscious 'there is lot of stuff to be done, a lot of staff is absent today and again the conditioning is not working." He said before rushing towards the stairs a small package in his hand that I couldn't decipher what it was.
"Wait Ravi" I shouted "what are you.."
But before I could find out "Dr. Sandeep you are specialist in pediatric cancer right?" a very experienced doctor from the hospital staff "dr. Seth asked
"Yes sir" I replied affirmative.
"Do you have some time? I want to discuss something with you.
Without thinking I replied happy to be useful "Sure thing. Your cabin?"
He patted me on my back "yes my cabin and Miss. Patricks will also love to see you.
Miss. Patricks is a middle aged fat nurse who is employed in his department.
She is been there since I was a kid always ready with a lollipop for me whenever I used to turn up with dad to the hospital.
She had been with us since the hospital was a mere small polyclinic and had been very affectionate towards me.
"Hey lovely Lolly" I greeted Miss. Patricks
"Sandy' she shouted at me excitedly pulling me for a hug "so good to see you in the hospital. I have missed you."
"Me too. But why have you lost so much weight?' I remarked jovially to the overweight nurse who looked plump yet cute with her massive figure.
"You don't know?" she upped with the game I was playing "I am planning to participate in the beauty contest this year" she joked "and if I make it to the finals you are going to be my dance date" she continued flirting healthily.
'I doubt" I said thinking absently "only if I get the post date good bye kiss Miss. Lolly?"
'Same as usual" she nodded slapping me softly and lovingly on my cheeks, "here's your lolly"
"And that too bubble gum flavor" me and Lolly said in unison earning a loud laughter from Dr. Seth as I joined him in his cabin.
"I have a patient although he is 20 by now but he had cancer when he was only ten. Do you think once cured the luekaemia can relapse?"
After thorough discussion and examination I was elated to conclude that "With chemotherapy the cancer cells went on a sleep mode and they do wake up years later. We call them doramant cells." I explained and then adding a positive note I stated "however the reports and results are promising I think we are on right direction"
"You are indeed right and an amazing Dr. Sandeep. I am sure you are one of the assets to the hospital.
"Thanks " I said before I scrolled through my phone for the latest ping of w******p by Sia that made me curious to learn about her.
I have never been this eager to read a w******p text but with Sia I do not know she had me worried since she left to look out for the girl who was an anonymous for her yet her concern for her well being was overwhelming.
'''''''''''''''
"Yes yes! You can orgasm right now. Come on do it for them" Sia said seductively as she looked at me
"What are you trying to do Sia? ' I asked wondering where this was coming from.
"Me?" she rather acted shocked "I am trying to enjoy my food but if you'd make faces like you are getting a blowjob and about to explode, how do you think I'd feel?" she retorted making me blush for a reason.
'I am in shock" I defended myself,
"You cannot blame me if I am looking at the eight wonder of the world with a shock driven face like this" I circled my finger on my face.
"Eighth wonder?" she asked curious yet laughing making me wonder if such jovial and happy go lucky girl is the same one from morning who turned ferocious and revolting with her own relative to protect another girl whom she haven't ever met before.
"Exactly I am still not convinced if you are the same girl who works to death in the gym to an extent that it is scary and now is eating like she has taken a thirty day obesity challenge.
"Have you ever tried Google for Brainy quotes?' she asked, "I always did for my projects and speeches." She continued "one of the quote stated "enjoy whatever you do, so I am enjoying my meal."
She took a huge chunk of cheese naan[indian bread] and put it in her mouth
"You can also have" she pushed the tray of bread in front of me to have.
Deliberating whether I was really hungry or this girl had pushed in some appetite in me I picked a chunk and put it in my mouth and started enjoying the moment just like quoted in those brainy quote but it wasn't food that I enjoyed but hunger.
A sinful hunger!
I almost closed my eyes to calm myself.
I was in front of a live grenade
And my hormones took to do complete justice when she pulled out her pink soft tongue and made it wonder around her red lips to lick the remnants of the cheese that had settled on them from the naan and swayed visibly to wipe them clean.
I counted till ten , my legs crossed for tiny friendly convulgencies happening in my body, courtesy to my visualization of the soft organ from her mouth swirling at the part of human anatomy that needed desperate attention from the opposite gender , yet it was a forbidden fruit and therefore the cravings were infinite.
'You got to meet that girl?" I asked trying to change the subject.
I needed something serious to talk about to balance the hyperactivity of the testorones.
She suddenly pushed the plate away as if feeling the loss of appetite or a bitter acidic taste had filled in her mouth.
"Yes it was difficult" she probably zoned in in the moment "with all the media and cops hovering over her but I managed with dad's influences and my NGO card" she said "but then the girl was a mess."
"But she has you now" I pressed her hands across the table, her sad face not suiting her at all.
"Yes she has me," she said strongly confirming herself now "what bothers me is it was her own father who sold her for few thousands. The fate of a girl in our country!" she shrugged
And then she added with her voice choked "you know what her father sold her so that he could operate his fourth and only male child to protect him from some ailments"
"I am sorry," I said, I did not know what to say.
Either be sorry for the father who does not have money to save his child or be sorry for the female generation of my country who is unwanted.
"Why are you sorry? The only person who should be sorry is the sorry ass father who cannot keep his d**k in his pants and wants to pop children like pills till he has a male child. Damn even if he cannot afford them. He is the freaking curse to the society." Sia was yelling by now.
"Calm down" I said looking around and making sure that there was no audience to the almost empty diner in the late noon, "he does not deserve even your wrath"
"Yes" Sia finally felt elated "he deserves to be to castrated and moved around the town with black face on a donkey. Rather all the men who try to pop more than two kids in desire of a male child should be castrated."
"Why are you after the d***s of men?" I asked almost scared.
Laughing lightly "oh I did not realize. Did I use the word that often?" she asked seriously.
I nodded affirmatively.
It was her turn to press my palms, her simple touch bringing tingles to my skin "Don't worry, your d**k is safe and I'll protect it if someone comes after it" she winked at me
"Why would someone come after my d**k?' I asked more startled than earlier "I never want more than two kids nor am craving for another one. Hell! I don't even have a single child"
Yes melodrama!
Since it runs in her family
Shouldn't harm much.
And it worked...
She laughed heartily
Ruffling my hair she said, "you know you should avoid coming to Malhotra mansion, the drama of my family is catching up with you." Her echoing laughter was back. "Melodrama is contagious"
"Nevertheless it made you laugh, so I will live."
Realizing that she was actually laughing since I texted her to meet me for lunch she took a deep breath and said, "thanks for today. Thanks for forcing me to come here with you. I am actually enjoying."
"No problems" I lifted my invisible hat from my head and bowed down to her "happy to help."
''''''''''''''''''
"YOU SLEPT WITH HER" a loud shriek passed from the other end of my mobile phone "I know last night she was in your room" yelling continued followed by few other curses.
Sia whose eyes first turned into saucers and then were curious enough to learn who was at the other end of the phone stayed fully attentive sometimes laughing at the expense of my humiliation as the pg13 rated curses passed through the wires especially when if you take your d!ck on a ride at least let me have the look over at the means of transportation?' if you made babies last night I promise you they will not take your name first and you'll be cursed to be loved lesser by them and dare you come home without that leading lady I swear I will make you sleep with a stick stuck up your ass and neither you'd be able to change sides or lie on your back."
"I am coming home okay?" I shouted without listening to another word from him and hanging up the phone before Sia could laugh further.
"So I take it that we are going to meet your mysterious and cursing caller?" she gestured at the switched off handset that lay on the front pocket of my dress shirt.
"No" I said clearly "I am dropping you home but first I'll take you to the hospital, I have unfinished business there."
"I don't think your cursing caller would like that." The curiosity in her voice to meet the caller was obvious.
"Don't bother" I held her hand and pulled her to the parking spot of the diner.
Amazed or shocked of my firmness, she did not protest
Probably for the first time
And I felt nothing less than a king.
"This was your urgent business?" she asked as I took it my first and thorough mission to change her bandage from last night.
"Yup" I replied earning an awed reaction form her which she masked soon enough.
"You do remember that I too have a doc at home? Pari." She said helping me to fix the final tape of her bandage.
"If that was the case you'd have gone home last night instead of crashing at my place." Her mouth gaping open and close like a fish with my answer.
"Now is my knight in shining armor; unwanted though dropping me home?" she asked obviously hinting towards picking up her bike.
"Yes and I'll make sure that side lights of your bike are maintained and ready to go again."
"Hey hey hey" she protested "I can take care of that. Don't try to be my fiancé now. I am not some cliché damsel who needs help. I can help myself fine enough and would collect my bike asap.
"Moreover I need..." she was stopped by me
"If you are planning to explore the streets of Delhi tonight too with that bike of yours, you have another thing coming. I wont allow you at all," I said with a word of finality.
"And also you are now the elected president of America. Citizens of US have finally revolted and chosen a non American and colored guy as their senator." She gave a mocking three clap applaud to my mock designation.
"Ha! Ha! should I laugh?"
I was firm and dominating by now "Fiancé or not pretended or pretended, friends or not, damsel or knight I am not going to let you ride that bike without both the things are healed."
She knew it was time to back up, I realized because her next words were interrogative 'both the things?"
"Yes your elbow and your bike"
A big o formed her mouth but she was not the one to be forced to retreat "I am fine enough I can ride..."
"No you cant. i.." she didn't let me finish "exactly you cant" she shouted "and I wont let you or any other guy decide for me"
"Not even your brother Raj?" I finished with a single sentence.
She was shunned into silence for couple of seconds before she snapped back at me violently "Are you trying to blackmail me?' she raised her pointer "back up right now" she warned "because last time when a guy tried to use something against me he was just kicked right where the sun doesn't shine and even after 4 years whenever he has $ex he remembers to call me and apologize for his deeds
An automatic crossing of my legs to protect my jewels and my future $ex life happened as a reflex action.
Yes! You can laugh of me being scared by a girl.
But damn you haven't seen her taut muscles!
A girl corrections short-tempered girl
A kick
A groin all these are dangerous combinations
"No I am not trying to convince you or persuade you as a friend" I paused giving her time to relax "to do something that I'd tell any of friends to do. It will just be a day and half and your elbow will be as good as new till then please relax and let it heal"
Sighing angrily she lifted her bag and was about to leave.
"Where are you going now?" I asked hastily.
"Car park" she gave a duh face "that's where you'd parked your car right?'
"Looking at the pot belly, " she gestured towards my flat abdomen "I don't think you'd have walked the short distance from your hospital. Lets get you home."
"What? Pot belly? Me?" I was in panic all of a sudden; years and hours of training and workout were under negating scrutiny by the girl with body to die for.
I lifted my s**t from my trousers and displayed my six-pack abs rubbing my abdomen and showing off my hard work.
She licked her lips seductively "exactly what I wanted to see after a hectic day:' she winked and throwing her bag behind her shoulder she walked away only turning to make sure if I was trailing behind her.
''''''''''
"I thought you were dropping me home" Sia commented when she noticed me missing the turn towards her house.
"Yes I am but not before I take you to meet the mysterious person behind the phone call." I informed her.
"Oh otherwise your balls are in danger." She laughed at her joke earning a sarcastic ha ha!' from me.
"The mysterious caller resides in hospital?" Sia asked anxiously.
"No I have to collect something." I told her and sprinted towards the hospital making sure that the car was parked without nuisance to ongoing traffic.
"Be back soon. I hate to wait" Sia shouted from the window making me laugh.
Impatient much!
"Ravi I need a catheter quick." I commanded my staff.
'Umm uh... I'll a little busy right now. Can you wait?" he said and walked off with his trademark grim and confused face without waiting for my answer.
"What is the rush?" my question remained unanswered as he sprinted down the corridors.
"But the emergency unit had no light on so there wasn't any emergency" I wondered but ignored as I remember Sia's last words of hurrying back to her.
I hunted the stock for a catheter but no luck. Maybe the stock was rearranged.
I decided to check the stocks from the computer 'catheter ..
Catheter
Catheter' I was hunting as I was scrolling through the list
Bingo' I shouted as there as only one left in stock.
'Let me place order before the stock exhausts' I told myself before checking the daily mails for orders.
Wait a minute' I checked the orders 'persatible prefusable device 10 qty.
What the heck!
Why have we ordered so many such devices?'
Maybe our hospital is doing well.
But in such huge number?
I should have known!
I was about to look further when my eyes landed on the catheter which was lying right in front of me at the top shelf of medicines starting with c'
Corresponding call from Sia made me switch off the computer so that no other staff without password could access the records and went to the impatient lady.
"I am sorry. Couldn't find it." I waved the catheter softly in front of her.
"No problems" she smiled before she dropped the cellphone which still had her screen showing candycrush and heart crying due to lack of moves in her bag..
"So how many candies did you crush while I was gone?' I asked playfully.
"Snoopy" she hit me playfully and tuned in the music system closing her eyes and opening them abruptly 'hey that means even you play candy crush. Can you send me lives? I really want to clear this level." She pouted.
I raised an eyebrow at the macho girl showing a completely different side of her.
Simply laughing at her antiques I drove home.
'So it was khurana uncle who was threatening you on the phone?" Sia asked smiling
"Yes it was him" I affirmed her guess.
"But you told he was in a surgery?" Sia asked.
"I never gave his whereabouts to you" I said casually.
"Oh you very well did when I asked you why hasn't he updated his effbee status today "he had a long and early morning surgery" Sia tried to mimic me in a gruff voice.
She however isn't a very good mimicry artist
I do not talk like that
"That I did talk about." I affirmed pretending to ignore that she failed to cpy me.
'''''''''''''
"Water?" I asked when Bluey offered me one and I denied but Sia picked and started gulping as she followed after me "thanks and hi B.."
"You can also call me Bluey" Bluey smiled at Sia.
She must really like Sia to let her call her by that name.
I remember her firing one of the young male staff few months back because he called her with the name I personalized for her.
''''''''''
I said a small player before I opened a very similar looking white door of the room.
I wasn't shocked to hear the loud music blaring from the speakers.
A blob of milky white hair adorned the old man who in a bright pink Nike tee and white shorts of same brand, a silver probott bottle hanging on the waist of his shorts, pink and white sketchers was walking slowly on the treadmill and singing 'tonight I am f##king you' along with the music.
Can there be any better way of embarrassment
"Gran pa " I shouted earning an o' face form Sia
'He is amazing" she rubbed her hands excitedly "I already like him"
Why am I scared at that revelation?
