Chapter 39

Sandhya's POV



" Well, you would have to kiss me every time you call me sir. "

" What?? That's not fair si.... "

" Awww that is the way to make you stop calling me as sir.. "

" But you called me ma'am.... "

" Ok, Fair enough. I will give the fine as well. I would love that ma'am."

" It is not fair. "

" Ok, I will pay double fine, since I am your senior. Good enough? " Naughty devil was trying to be smart.

" Not fair, every time you make a mistake or call me ma'am, I will decide the fine. Ok ? "

" Ok, ma'am. Whatever you want. "

" Bye, I will have to make and pack food. "

" I like you and your tiffin services. Bye. "

I had a huge smile on my face. I went to the kitchen and with the help of my mom, buaji and the helper I made Aaloo bondas, Marble cake, garlic chutney, Chana Daal Wada and Gulaab Jamun. I would fix Vada pav there. I just need to buy pav buns. Garlic chutney and aaloo bonda are ready.

I packed everything to take them to Gautamji's place. Mom packed lunch for me and him and some more for my friends. She packed Kesaria Bhaat and Matar kachori for us.

The doorbell rang, it must be the devil himself. It was...

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow when he saw the amount of food I was carrying.

" Are you going to feed an army? " He grinned.

" Very funny. " I rolled my eyes.

" No seriously, you must open a catering service. You are an amazing cook and you would know exactly what you are offering. I mean the nutritional value of the food. You would be a great hit. " I just smiled.

" Why are you carrying almost double the food you always carry ?"

" This one is for our lunch and that one for our party while watching the movie." He smiled and shook his head.

We drove to the hospital.

" So you remember you don't have to call me sir or you have to pay fine. "

" And you don't have to call me ma'am. "

" What would be my fine if I call you ma'am.

"Every time you call me ma'am, it will be cancelled with one time of me calling you as... I won't pay my fine."

" Ok, beautiful. "

We went inside the hospital. He had two surgeries. So he went to get ready for OT.

I saw Gautam Ji and I greeted him, he came to meet me.

" Hi, Sandhya!! How are you? Coming to my place with Vikram? "

" Yes, how is Maurvi ??? What is the problem." I asked him.

" She is so involved in her friend's problem that she is suffering and her friend is not even bothered that she is doing so much. Maurvi is a very nice girl and an excellent friend. She can do anything for her. Even if she has to suffer. I wanted to make her happy and distract her a bit. "

" That's a very good idea. We will try to distract her." I said to him and he nodded. Vikram said that you are getting or making the food. Well, I would love to eat anything you make. But we could order, you didn't have to cook. "

" I suggested that as I know, both of you eat outside most of the time, it is not healthy, so I thought I should get home-cooked food for you. "

" I really love you for being so considerate. But Maurvi usually get food for me... Oh, thank God... Vikram is in OT, otherwise, he would have killed me for saying that. " He winked at me.

I took rounds with Ajay and Chirag. Chirag wanted me to talk to Ruchika on his behalf. But I told him that he must talk to her by himself.

The son of the old lady who was getting operated came and talked to me. He was looking at me in a weird way, he was standing very close to me. I stepped back, but he took another step towards me. I was getting uncomfortable when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Gautam Ji. He was glaring at that man.

"Are you ok? " He asked me. I just nodded. He came and stood between him and me and said, " What is your problem? Talk to me, not her. "

" I was just talking to her about my mother's diet plan, she is a dietician. Right? Who are you?" he asked Gautam Ji.

" I am a doctor and she is my sister. I saw the way you were looking at her and trying to come very close to her. Just stay away Or you will have to get admitted here and you won't like it much. " He said to that man.

" What happened?? Gautam? Sandhya? " I heard Sir... I mean Vikram's voice behind us.

" Nothing Vikram, Today I want to practice boxing and this man gave me the reason as well. Come join us."

" What happened? "

" Nothing this doctor who is making a hill out of a mole. I don't know, what he is talking about."

" I was just talking and listening, but if I tell him what you were doing, he would beat you to a pulp. " Gautam Ji laughed.

That man ran away...

" What was that? " Vikram asked.

" He was making her uncomfortable. I confronted him and told him to stay away or he would be admitted here as well." Vikram got angry and wanted to beat him too.

" Relax !! Where would he go?? His mom is admitted here and nothing happened. Please relax..." Gautam Ji said to him.

Vikram caught my hand and took me to the cafeteria. We all sat down and everyone brought their food. I also opened the tiffin box and everyone enjoyed the food.

Gautam Ji said,

" Seriously, I love you... " Vikram hit him on the head and he laughed.

He took another bite of Matar kachori and said, "Kill me if you want to Vikram, but after every bite, I would say, I love her. " He winked at me.

I burst out laughing. He is a drama king and his friend is a Sadiyal devil.

" Try this kachori, you will say the same. " Said Gautam Ji in a dramatic way. But Vikram didn't smile.

" Then don't eat this Kachori. " Vikram said in his sulking mood and Gautam Ji burst out laughing.

" Ok, ok... I don't love her, now eat. Bye, see you in the evening." Everyone else had gone and only two of us were eating.

He also ate the food and said, " From now on, you will share and cook food for just me. "

" But sir... "

"No, but, I don't like it when anyone says that. "

' He was just teasing you, sir. "

" Hey, you just called me sir twice. " His eyes were shining now.

" Ooopps... Ok, from next time, I will pay, not this time. Ok? "

" No, not done... "

" Sir, please... "

" Ok, yes... But you just called me sir."

" Arree it will take time. I am so used to of calling you S.. that. please it is not fair. " I got up to go but he caught my hand and said, " Just be ready to pay your fine. I want you to clear your dues..." He winked at me and got up too. I blushed like anything.

Vikram's POV



We drove to Gautam's place. In the way, she told me to stop the car and got down the car and entered a bakery. Came out in 2 minutes with pav buns. She sat in the car and I started driving. We reached his home, he was already there.

Sandhya went to the kitchen and kept the food there.

We all sat down and Gautam told us that he got 3 movies. One was a comedy. The second one was action and the third was a suspense horror movie.

" Did you even ask her which one she wanted to see? " Sandhya asked him.

" No, I wanted to surprise her. "

" Surprised or shocked? " She laughed.
