Chapter 20

Vikram's POV



We were working for a very long time and everyone was tired. Sandhya and I were sitting in one room and Chirag and Ajay in another room. I looked at Sandhya and saw that she had dozed off. So I decided to take a break for some time. I told the nurse to tell the people that it was the lunchtime and we will see the patients after an hour now.

I sat beside her and kept looking at her. She was so beautiful, caring, loving... I want her in my life. I never thought that I would ever feel like this, but I wanted to kill Chirag when he said he loved her.

I know very well that it was just a way of giving compliments. But I wanted to beat the hell out of him. I would have to tell him to stay away. I would have to tell everyone to stay at least 10 meters away from her. She is mine. Just mine.

I kept looking at her and I tucked her hair away from her face. She had beautiful features. Big beautiful almond-shaped eyes, long black eyelashes which were fringed on her smooth skin. Beautiful... Plump lips.

Her hair was long and beautiful. How I wanted to touch them. I forced myself not to think on these lines.

I didn't want to wake her but she had to eat, So I shook her. She opened her eyes and was shocked to see me. Then she remembered where she was...

" Sandhya get up and have food before the lunch hour is over," I told her...

She got up and said sorry. She was looking so good while sleeping, I couldn't help looking at her. Intact, I could have looked at her for hours like that and here she is saying sorry for that. Cute...

She took out food and with the help of the local people she reheated it.

Chirag helped her in laying the table, he was always extremely friendly with her. I would tell him to stay away.

I was amazed at the girl, she cooked food for everyone, even the nurses and ward boys. Hats off to her... Who takes so many efforts for others?

She asked me to have food. I served everything in my plate, every dish was out of this world. I wanted to compliment her but somehow cat caught my tongue.

" Wow! Yaar the food is awesome... Paneer, Chhole and Aaloo everything is delicious. But why did you make so much food? " Ajay asked.

" Because there are so many people here. They may not prefer eating one thing or the other. And another reason was that Shubh would have eaten outside food otherwise, but as I prepared all his favourite dishes. He won't even think about it. " Sandhya replied.

Oh God!!! She is an angel. Loves every one. She is a rare gem. And I was stupid who threw the gem.

"But I swear, you are amazing. Are you by any chance planning to get married? If yes, please consider me. " Chirag said.

What??? This is enough. Now you will have to face the music. You better stay away from her.

I was losing my patience with him is always flirting with Sandhya.

" Oh shut up Chirag, today the food is good so you want to marry me, what will happen if I spoil the food by burning it or putting so much spices. You will divorce me?? " Sandhya scolded him.

Wow !! she looks even more beautiful when she is angry. Very well said...

" And Chirag, if you want to marry a girl just because she cooks well, then why don't you marry your maid. Marriage is not about all this. A couple should love and respect each other. One more thing, stop making remarks like that about her. " I said and was angry at him but controlled myself.

He said sorry to her.

So many villagers came for the checkup, we all were very very busy. We did the routine checkup, ECG and checked the cholesterol levels.

Sandhya gave them a healthy diet chart. A few women came who were pregnant or lactating, she gave them diet charts accordingly.

It was around 6:30 in the evening, the time to close the camp for the day. We were very tired. So we all went to our guest house.

The guest house provided with tea and biscuits. I took a cup of tea and was walking towards my room when I saw Chirag was talking to Sandhya and was pleading about something. Sandhya was not convinced and saying no to whatever he was saying.

Was that Idiot proposing her? I swear I'll break all his teeth.

" Chirag can you please come here, I need to talk to you. " He excused himself and came towards me.

" Yes sir "

" Follow me... " I went to my room and he followed.

I closed the door and told him to sit.

" Listen Chirag, I have noticed that you always try to be over-friendly with Sandhya. Please stay away from her. It is not proper, she is here on my responsibility. I hope you are understanding, what I am saying. "

He just nodded and smiled. What the hell? I am scolding him and he is smiling... does he have a death wish?

" Do you find something funny, in what I just said? " I was annoyed now. How dared he smile, when I am scolding him??

" Not at all sir, but be rest assured sir, we are just good friends. I have no such intentions about her. In fact, I like Ruchika, her friend. I was requesting Sandhya to help me in that matter. You know she is a very good friend of hers. I was just teasing her when I asked her to consider me for marriage. I know that she hates it if someone thinks that she cooks well and hence she is ideal for marriage. She doesn't cook for people so that someone might get impressed with her and offer her marriage. She would never marry such a man. " I was so relieved to hear that.

"She cooks because it gives her immense pleasure. She once told us that she cooks when she is happy and cooks when she is sad because that's her way of overcoming the sadness. It is her passion. She would offer food to everyone. I am sorry to say one more thing, but I think, you really like her. " I looked shocked at what he said.

" What nonsense?? It's not true."

" Ok sir, If you say so, But I beg to differ. " He just smiled.

" Why do you think so? " I asked again.

" Sir, I have noticed the way your eyes always follow her. The way you look at her, so adoringly. Frankly, sir, it is written all over your face." He smiled again.

" You think too much, you must concentrate on your work. You may go now. " I turned my back towards him. I heard him leaving the room.

What the hell? Was I so obvious?
