When life gives you a reason to cry— laugh at them? No throw a bottle on their head whoever makes you cry. When it's your life then why are you letting others having control on it ?

Well, I am Sanvi. Just Sanvi. In young age I went to Italy somehow and spend my time there. When I was young I saw the deadliest thing happen to me. I don't want to remember it tho.

I hated India till I met Kriti, my bestfriend. Well my first friend who didn't judge me for who I am, for how I speak. When I was i young I was mute so it was hard for me to speak. I only knew cursing words because the atmosphere was thick with that where I grew.

I never thought I will come back to India but I did. You know why ? But let me make you clear. I hate men. I do flirting but I hate men. Men are the creature which gives me headache. I can't stand with fragile males.

Okay okay. You know why I came to India ? I fell in love. With a doctor. I don't know why and how. I met him in a party which Aditya bhaiya, kriti's elder brother, arranged. The moment I saw him i thought I was attracted to him due to his facial features but that wasn't enough. I again met him in Kriti's marriage and I know that wasn't just attraction.

I asked, Aditya bhaiya that I want to write articles on his hospital "Chandani hospital" Where that doctor works. He wears glass which makes him more attractive and tempting. The way he talks— so respectful. I love man who respects woman.

Well did I forget you all to tell his name ? His name is—

Vivhaan Chauhan.

A very handsome doctor who took my heart in between all choas of my life. Well he is dedicated doctor and I don't know if he will even look at me. But I don't think about it too much.

After wearing a floral frock, I went to the hospital for my article cum love. Funny tho.

"Excuse me can I meet Dr Vivhaan?" I said with a a smile to the receptionist. She looked at me closely.

"Are you a foreigner?" She asked. Does it matter ? Oh for my blonde hair ? Then yess.

"Yes" I replied directly.

"Why do you want to meet Dr Vivhaan? He is in conference meeting right now" She said and gave me a judging look.

"I think you don't know it yet. I am Sanvi. Didn't your boss Aditya Singhania told you about a journalist?" I asked and her eyes shifted in little confusion.

"Let me ask it" She said and called maybe Aditya bhaiya. I stood confidently because I know now she will get her answers. She hung up the call even before speaking. "He didn't pick the call up"

"Oh he might be busy let me call" I said and dialed Aditya bhaiya's number. Ringed but didn't pick up. The receptionist raised her brows in question. "Uh...he might be busy I think" I said and shoved my phone back in bag.

"I think I know what should we do"She said and called security. The guards held up my hand from side.

"Wait....wait ....wait....you can't behave like this" I said and the guards dragged me out. "THIS IS BAD !!!" I shouted on them.

"What's going on ?" Just then Vivhaan came into the scene. I pushed the guards away and ran beside him.

"They are throwing me out of the hospital" I said and pointed at them. He looked at me then at the guards.

"Sir, she is lieing...." The receptionist said.

"No. I know her" Vivhaan said to her to which she nodded. "She came for article thing"

"Oh..I am sorry mam" She bowed to me and I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry for the inconvenience" Vivhaan said and turned to me.

"No no...it's nothing actually" I said and dismissed the topic.

"Actually i thought she is those types of girls" The receptionist said and looked at my dress. Before i could answer her Vivhaan said.

"You can't judge anyone like this" Vivhaan said and she again apologised to me. "Come Sanvi, I will show you ,your cabin" He said and guestured me to go first.

We both entered a small room. Good for me tho.

"Actually we don't let journolist to work so you have to be alone working. But I will make sure you won't get alone always" He said with a polite smile. I nodded and kept my bag on the table.

"Well...I shouldn't be saying this but. Actually it's a hospital and we should dress elegantly. I mean not traditonal but you know..." He said and looked down. Oh in India hospitals works differently. He isn't wrong tho.

"Whatever you say so" I shrugged. He nodded with a smile and left the room. I walked beside him and he looked at me being surprised.

"So...what's your full name?" He asked and walked ahead.

"Sanvi" I said with a smile.

"I mean ..your surname?" He asked and looked at me.

"Is it necessary to have surname?" I asked being confused.

"Uhm...it gives identity" He said and looked ahead.

"So can I use yours ?" I said and he stopped in track. I also stopped with him. He looked at me being surprised with my words.

"You can't use others surname" He said and I smiled at him.

"We can ....like...you know" I said and stood infornt of him.

"Tum yaha logo pe article likhne aayi ho ya mujhe pr ?" He said and chuckled at my behaviour.

"Tum kaho toh likh dungi" I said with a smile. He smiled at me and shook his head.

"You are impossible. Focus on your work Sanvi" He said and walked away.

I smiled in happiness. How sweetly he talks. I just love this behaviour. Vivhaan Chauhan, jald hi Sanvi ke nashe mein ghumne wale hai.

I sat in my cabin, looking at the papers ahead of me. We need few doctors for the military base camp and the ones whom I chose isn't well. We don't have more names for military team. If I rejected giving doctors the governor won't find it good. He trust this hospital alot and they need doctors for the military immediately.

I can go because I have learnt alot in these few years of my career. Exploring things and doing good in everything was always my— not mine tho. Just then Rajesh, the encharge of all this, a gastroenterologist, came inside.

"Sir did you select the name ?" He asked hurriedly. "The governor is asking for names today only"

"I...will look after it. Don't worry I'll find a way out" I smiled at him and he left the cabin. I rubbed my forehead in distress. Being a chief here I can't go right? What should I do now ? Idea. Let me ask Aditya first.

"Hello ?" Aditya said from the other side of phone. "Sanvi came today right ? I was busy in meeting so I wasn't able to pick her phone. Well I already talked to her" He said.

"Yes. I showed her cabin and maybe she started working for her article" I said while spinning the pen in my fingers.

"Then why did you call ? Cut the call" He said grumpily. He will never change. But I like him this way.

"Haww.....kitne bure ho tum" I said with a dramatic tone and he scoffed in annoyance. "Acha i need to tell you something important" I said and shifted my tone to seriousness.

"Did sanvi do something? She is little mischievous. Don't worry I'll talk with her" He said absently.

"Why are you continuously talking about her only ? I am talking about the list governor asked for the military base" I said and he turned his attention towards the call fully now.

"So ? It's not ready ? You need to give the list today right ?" He asked being serious.

"It's ready, but I am thinking to send ishi there. I have talked to her once in joking tone. She will agree" I said still spinning the pen in my fingers.

"It's... dangerous Vivhaan. Can we send someone else ?" Aditya said. His voice contained care. I know he sees Ishita as his sister too. I chuckled at his words.

"Don't worry Aditya. She isn't going to fight with weapons" I said and he scoffed in annoyance.

"Okay. As you find right. Talk to Ishi and then confirm the list. I trust you" He said and disconnected the call. I will but after reaching home.

I worked more on the list and messaged the doctors who are going to the camp for some months.

It was already 8 in the night and I need to go home now or my family will eat me up. I walked off the hospital and sat on my bike. Just then I put my helmet on Sanvi popped out.

"Mujhe bhi leke chalo" She said. Why does she always joke ?

"Kidhar ?" I said while plucking my helmet.

"Tumhare ghar" She said and smiled at me.

"Mere Ghar Jakr ky karogi ?" I asked being curious.

"Khana bnaungi" She said with an annoyed smile.

"Uski jarurat nhi hai" I said with a chuckle to which she smiled.

"Akhir mujhe apne future ghar walo se milna toh hoga hi na" She mummered something under her breath.

"Kuch kaha tumne ?" I asked as i didn't hear clearly

"Kuch suna tumne ?" She asked being curious. I shook my head as 'no'. "Tab kuch nhi kaha" She said with a mischievous smile. "Waise now can I sit behind you ?" She asked and pointed at my back.

"Woh... actually I am going home with Ishi" I said and from the main door, Ishita came out. Her hair flying with the wind , her duppata too flied with air. She came and stood infront of us.

"What's going on?" She asked as she looked at me then at Sanvi.

"Oh...you two go. I'll take taxi then" Sanvi said. I nodded and she walked away from us.

"Ye itna kyu chipakti hai apse" Ishita said and sat behind me.

"Chipakti?" I asked and started the bike.

"Hn. Subha se dekh rhi thi" Ishita said with smile. I turned to look at her being curious.

"Patients se jyda dhyan yahi sab hai h tumhara?" I said and she gasped in surprise. "Kamchori nhi beta" i said focussing on the ride.

"Kaise bhaiya ho aap. Jao baat nhi Karti apse" She said and moved back a little. I chuckled at her cute tanticks.

"Thik hai dur hat jao. Mujhe konsi baat karni hai tumse" I said and speed up the bike.

"Bade papa se bol dungi" She complained and I slowed down the bike.

"Yahi karo. Mai achi baat bolta hu toh tum gandi baat bolti ho" I said while tilting my head in annoyance.

"Aap na movies kam dekhiye. Din bhar drama karte rehte hai" She said and held my shoulder in fear if she will fall— because once she fell from bike of mine in past. It was a horror show for me. We were small and papa shouted on me alot.

We reached the house together. Maa and chachi were in kitchen making dinner probably. I made my ways to my room while Ishita went to check kitchen.

"Duty khatam hogyi ?" I heard papa's voice and stopped mid stairs. I turned to look at him. He sat on the couch with chacha. "Itni achi degree hoke dusre ke hospital mein kaam karta hai batao toh" He said while shaking his head in disapproval.

"Baat toh sahi hai bhai sa. Vivhaan jab yaha apna clinic hai toh hospital mein jakr ky fayda ? Ishi bhi baat nhi sunti hai" Chacha said and I just looked down. They don't like that I am working in Aditya's hospital rather than opening mine.

"Khada kyu hai waha ?" Maa said while coming out from the kitchen.

"Muh toh khulega nhi iska" Papa said in anger and opened the newspaper to avoid me. I walked up to my room and laid on my bed.

My hospital? I don't want to. I want to work where i find happiness. They aren't wrong but they have to understand that I am grown up. They can't always control me. I exhaled in annoyance.

Just then my door got open and chachi came inside with a tray. I sat up and took the tray from her hands and she sat infront of me.

"Ab neeche aake toh khana nhi khayega tu. Isliye upar le aayi. Eat the food. Infront of me" Chachi scolded softly. I smiled at her and hugged her from side.

"Ky chachi aap bhi. Bacha thori hu mai ?" I laughed at her expressions.

"Mere liye toh humesha rahega" She said while caressing my cheeks. I am not saying my parents don't love me. They do but they aren't soft with me like she is. And due to past they act more strictly with me.

"Kha lunga. Aap neeche jao sabko khana bhi khilana hai na" I said and detangled myself away from her.

"Jyda tension mat liya kar mere bache" She said and pinched my cheeks in affection. "Aur subha ky khana hai bta dena, mai bna dungi" She said while standing up.

"Thik hai" I smiled at her and she smiled back before leaving the room. I again laid down on my bed and kicked my legs in annoyance. Yaar, mujhe ishi ko manana hoga.

After having dinner, I made my way to Ishita's room. She was reading something on her laptop while sitting in chair.

"Ishi Suno" I said and sat on her bed.

"Chappal khol ke aayiye andar" She said her eyes still fixed on her laptop. I looked down at my foot.

"Teen ankhein hai teri toh" I said and went out to open my chappal out and came back inside her room.

"You are going for military trial" I said and she snapped her head towards me.

"Kyu ?" She asked in confusion. "Mai abhi abhi US se aayi hu"

"Actually jo doctor se baat Hui thi na unke Ghar mein kuch problems chal rhi hai and I need to give the name tomorrow only. So for some time you are going to military" I said and she raised her brows in question.

"Par I am not trained for that" She said.

"I know I know. Isliye keh rha hu bas kuch dino ki baat hai. Bas uske ghar ki problem khatam ho jaaye then i will exchange the name" I said with a pleading look.

"Ye india-pak border?" She asked and I nodded. She thought for some time then asked "Waise can I know ki Aisa koi ho jisko mai janti hu waha pe ?" She asked. I thought for a second.

"I don't think so. We aren't close with any military soldier out there— wait I guess Siddharth is in the duty there as I heard" i said and her eyes shine like diamond.

"Woh bhi wahi hai ?" she mummered to herself. "Thik hai ab aap bol rhe hai toh chali jaungi" She said and looked back at her laptop.

"Thank you" I hugged her head.

"Kuch dino ke liye ?" She asked and I looked at her.

"Hn bas kuch dino ke liye" I said and she nodded. I smiled

at her and went back to my room.
