Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Riya's POV

It was morning and I got out of my bed with a bit of difficulty. My foot had a slight pain. I got ready to go to the hospital. But was not in a mood to cook food.

So I thought of having something from the cafeteria itself. I was locking the door when Dr Parth also came out.

" Good morning, sir."

" We are neighbours here, you can call me Parth. " He said

" No, sir!! You are my senior. I can't think of doing it. " I said avoiding looking at him. He looked very good in his casual shirt and denim.

" How is your foot? I was coming to ask you if you are still having pain?? " He asked.

" Just a little... I will take the medicine after I have my breakfast. " I replied with a smile.

" You haven't eaten anything?? Not even tea or coffee?? " He was surprised.

" No, I didn't feel like cooking. So I will have it in the cafeteria at the hospital. " I replied and he nodded.

"By the way, the coffee you made yesterday was very nice." He said.

" Thanks!! " I said with a smile.

" You are going to the hospital? Take an off if you have pain. " He said with concern.

Oh, god!! Why is he talking as if he cares?? Please tell him to shout at me...

I wanted to hate him to keep my heart in my chest. Talking sweetly to me doesn't suit him and it was injurious to my mental health.

" No, sir. I will die of boredom. I am fine. " I said.

" Wait!! You don't need to drive in this condition. You can come with me. " He said.

Won't your Senorita mind today?

" Oh, sir... I can manage. Please don't bother. " I said.

" Bother?? I am also going to the same place. My car won't mind carrying you along with me. By the way, you are not as heavy as you claimed. " He said with a smile.

My cheek started gaining heat at the thought of him carrying me to my bedroom. I just looked away.

" Thanks for your help last night, sir. " I said.

" Oh, it was nothing. Let's go!! " He shrugged.

Of course!! It was nothing for you. You can't feel anything for me...

Parth's POV

I was going to see her once, before going to the hospital. She had a lot of pain yesterday. But as soon as I got out of my apartment and saw her locking the door.

She was back in her usual boring appearance. Why?? Who does that??

Why does she always wear full sleeved oversized clothes?? She had such beautiful satin-like skin and her limbs were long and shapely.

Probably, she was the only girl, who was hell-bent to look less beautiful than she was. Why was she hiding her beauty?

I insisted she come with me and she agreed, though was reluctant initially.

We both started going downstairs when I realised that she was limping a bit. I could see that she still had pain in her foot. I picked her and she shrieked.

" Oh, no!! Sir, please leave me. I can climb down the stairs. " She said.

" Either you be quiet and let me do it, or you stay at home. I can see that you have pain in your foot. " I said, she looked embarrassed.

" I am fine, sir!! " She said.

" Shhh!! No, you are not!! Now shut up! Do you want everyone in the building to know, I am carrying you?" I said and carried her downstairs and placed her back on the ground, opened the passenger door for her to slide into the car, which she did reluctantly.

She was twisting her fingers as if she was nervous. But why?? I stole a glance at her and saw that she was chewing on her lower lip.

Shit! Stop it!!

I could not sleep last night, since I carried her in my arms. I kept thinking about her, her cute and chubby face, her soft and lush curves against my hard body. I wanted to carry her again and feel that warm soft and silky skin against mine.

Her fresh floral fragrance filled the atmosphere of my car.

I didn't say anything and kept driving till I reached the hospital. As soon as I parked the car she got out of it as if I had her abducted and she was desperate to get out of my reach.

But why?? Strange girl!

I locked my car and we went inside.

" I think, we must use the lift. " I said and she nodded immediately.

We got into the lift and I pressed the 3 rd floor button. She was still avoiding looking at me and I was still looking at her and saw a beautiful mole near her upper lip which enhanced the beauty of her face.

Why didn't I notice all this earlier??

We reached the 3rd floor and I asked her to come to the cafeteria with me, she nodded and walked beside me.

I saw Sid on the way and we smiled and embraced each other lightly. He had just come too.

" Hey !! Come have breakfast with us. " I said.

" No, I have had my breakfast. But I can spend some time with you. " He said with a smile and winked at me.

" Siddharth, I want you to meet my intern doctor and neighbour, Dr Riya Verma. " I introduced them.

" Hello, Riya! Are you enjoying here?" Sid asked her.

" Good morning, sir!! Yes, I am. Thank you! "

" From where did you complete your MBBS? " He asked her.

" From Meerut, my hometown. "

" Sid, she is a bit confused about her stream for MD. She wants Radiology, pathology or dermatology. So who could be better to guide her than you, since your brother is a Radiologist and you are a dermatologist? " I said.

" Sure, ask me whatever you want to. " Sid said with a smile, she nodded enthusiastically.

" Thank you so much, sir! I like all three fields. So confused about which one to join. " Riya said.

" Let's order the breakfast first, I am starving. Sure, you will not eat anything, Sid? " I said and Sid smiled at me.

" Hmm, I will eat a few bites. " He said.

" Riya, what will you have?? " I asked.

" Pasta!! " She said.

" Great!! They serve yummy pasta. " I said and called the boy to order pasta.

" With or without cheese?? " He asked.

" My regular one with cheese, Riya, what about you?? Don't tell me you will have it without cheese like other girls. " I asked.

" No, sir!! I love cheese. I can't even think about having pasta without the cheese. In fact, I love double cheese in my pasta. Can I have one?? " She said with a smile and asked the boy. He nodded.

" Same for me too. " I said.

Riya and Sid talked about radiology and dermatology. She asked many questions and paid full attention to what Sid was saying.

The boy came with 2 plates of white pasta with lots of cheese. It looked very tempting so we started eating it.

" Ummm!! It is really good! Sid try it. " I said and he took a fork and ate from my plate.

" Yeah!! Awesome! " Sid said and I looked at Riya. She just tasted it and closed her eyes to savour its taste. Some of the creamy sauce trickled down her lips and she licked it with her tongue.

Oh, God!! Stop it!!
