Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Parth's POV

Why did she have to accept the flowers and give a lift to him?? When will she learn not to trust people so easily??

But why am I so annoyed?? I was thinking.

You like her... my inner voice said.

Of course, I like her. Anyone would like her. I replied.

You Like her as a man likes a woman.

I am attracted to her. That all...

It is much more than that. Inner voice said.

As in??

The way, Sid likes Shruti. My inner self said.

He is crazy about her, I am not that crazy.

Correction!! You are crazier than him.

No!!

Let's see... Then why do you want to beat that doctor who came to meet your clumsy girl next door?

I don't know... I was just annoyed that she accepted flowers from him.

You must send her the flowers too, you idiot or are you planning to give them when she gets married to Kunal, Vidyut or someone else?

Flowers?? But she might think that I am serious about her.

You idiot!! Let it be... You just sit back and watch others woo her. My inner voice said.

I stopped my car and picked some flowers for her, added a note saying,

" Thanks for your trust in me. I will never let you down. Sorry that you got scared because of what I said."

I felt a bit awkward in carrying them to the hospital, so asked the florist to deliver them. After an hour.

I wanted to see her reaction when she would get them.

She was just busy reading a book I had recommended earlier. Disha was looking for another book.

I walked into the room and they both greeted me. I nodded and smiled at both of them. Kunal had not come till then and I was sure, he would not come today. We all got busy and all of a sudden, the delivery man came with the flowers for Riya.

I was excited to see her reaction after reading the message and getting flowers. I wanted to talk to her about last night, wanted to go out with her on a formal date... Spend more time with her.

He asked for Riya and when Riya saw that a man came to deliver flowers to her, her face became as white as a sheet. She placed a hand on her mouth and then closed her eyes.

" I d.don't want it. T.take it back." She said with difficulty.

What happened to her? Why was she looking so scared??

" Ma'am, I can't take it back. We have been paid for it. I have to deliver them. " The man said.

" No, I don't want any such thing, throw it in the trash. " She said. Her face was still as white as a paper.

" What? Why? The flowers are so pretty. Why do you want to throw them in the bin?" Disha asked.

" Because I don't want them. "

" So don't take them, at least, don't throw them in the bin. They are looking so pretty, let them be here in this room. It is pleasant to have the flowers in a room. "

" Do whatever you want. " She said and started reading it.

" There is a card attached to it, Riya. At least have a look at it. Aren't you overreacting?? " Disha said.

" I don't want the flowers and the card. Please stop talking about them. " She almost yelled and tears started flowing from her eyes.

What the hell??

She accepted the flowers from Vidyut and was still ok with it. She didn't even look at the flowers sent by me. I was getting very upset and wanted to break something.

I stormed out of the room to cool off my mind and started going towards Sid's cabin when I realised that he and Shruti had the day off.

I kept myself busy with the classes, in fact, I requested another doctor that I wanted to have an extra class.

It was lunch break when I went back to my cabin and saw her sitting there.

I ignored her, opened my laptop and pretended that I was busy.

She came to me and asked me if I have had lunch, but I said I was not hungry.

" Dr Parth, I prepared food for you as well. "

" That's very sweet of you, but I am not hungry. " I said as I was very upset.

" But why?? Please, have food. I cooked specially for you. " She said.

" Oh, are you sure, you didn't cook it for your new friends?? " I said sarcastically.

" New friends?? Whom are you talking about? " She looked confused.

" Let it be... Please have your food. " I said.

" At least talk to me... Why are you behaving like this? "

" I am like this, please have your food with your friends and enjoy. I am busy with my work. " I said and as always, her tears started flowing, she left the whole box there and ran away.

Oh, God!! How does she do that??

I hate cry babies and she can cry within a second. I hate her for that.

You don't!! My stupid soul said.

Get lost!! You are good for nothing, you suggested I get flowers for her, I did that... She didn't even see them and my note.

Did you see that her face had become absolutely white when she saw the flowers?

I don't care... She accepted the flowers from Vidyut and wanted to throw the ones, sent by me. I don't like her.

Then why are you getting jealous?

Oh.. oh.. oh! I am not jealous. Why would I be??

Then why did you tell her to share her food with her new friends?? You are getting jealous.

Not at all. I was just suggesting to her as the food was getting wasted. I don't have any feelings for her, I am just attracted to her and want to protect her.

Right!! She should share the food with Vidyut. As it is he wants to do that too. I mean spend more time with her.

Don't you have anything better to do? Leave me alone, I am working.

You haven't read a single word on that damn screen.

Shut up!! I don't have feelings for her... I will prove it to you.

Riya's POV

The delivery man came with a bunch of fresh flowers for me.

Oh, God!!

Did my stalker find me again??

I was scared like hell... I wanted to throw it. But didn't want to create a scene. So let Disha keep them in the room.

What would I do now?? I think I should tell Dr Parth. But he was in a strange mood and was busy since morning.

So when he came back to his cabin during lunch break. I went to meet him to have lunch and I wanted to tell him about my stalker. But he was still hell-bent to avoid me.

I started reading the book again, which I was reading since morning.

The break was over and Disha came back. It was time, Patients would start coming anytime, so Dr Parth called her as it was her turn to assist him.

" Sir, I was reading the book you recommended to us. I have a few queries. " Disha said.

" Sure tell me, I am here to help. " He said and she pulled the chair next to him and he started explaining everything to her.

She said something and he smiled at that. They looked as if they were very good friends. He was smiling and laughing with her and didn't even look at me today.

What happened to him, he was so good to me till last night?? He even kissed me...

Why was he avoiding me like that?

Fine!! I don't care...
