Chapter 70

All the commotion and the detour, he lost his way and walked over to the maternity section and asked for directions at the front desk and a cute intern asked him out. She was cute, he replied maybe in the future and she volunteered to walk with him since she was on a break so that he won’t get lost and walked with him half way through. Couple of eyes gave him an smile and showed him the way to the parking lot and he followed the directions and walked past the visitors lounge from the orthopedic and walked towards the corridor that was almost empty and was totally silent and there was hardly anyone to be seen except someone near the coffee machine.

In a split second, he caught her just in time to break her fall and the coffee spilled all over the floor, but she managed herself and looked at him and to his surprise, she had not expected to see her here and walked her over to a chair and got her a glass of water and picked up a board, ‘Wet Floor’, placed it over the coffee spill and walked over to her, with a surprised smile adorning his face. ‘Akshar’, hey thanks for breaking my fall, I hope I didn’t spill coffee all over you?’ she said with an apology in her voice. He was surprised to see her there, but a bit concerned about her state and why she was here.

She explained to him why she was here and her concerns about Pryag, he realized that he had hardly eaten anything the whole day and had been surviving with just drinking coffee. He insisted that he get her something to eat, but she wouldn’t budge and it was at that time a petite lady, in a white coat, with her name tag, Dr.Collins walked over to her and enquired, ‘Die A Sharma’, ‘Sorry how do you pronounce your name Dr.Collins asked her in a apologetic tone, struggling to pronounce her first name and managed to pronounce her last name correctly. She smiled and said, its ‘Diya’.
