Surbhi's POV

You know what's the best thing.  Seeing anyone smile.

Mahir, I mean I've mostly seen people doing charity for power, Showoff and hunger.Hunger of popularity , name snd fame.

But this man is something different.

He didn't want to tell anyone about him helping that kid. His thinking is something beyond imagination.

  I want that smile of Mahir to be plastered on his face forever .

I got Mahir's sister's discharge papers ready as she was good to go home. I signed them and got them signed by doctor Bhatia.

I too will soon complete my internship under Dr. Bhatia.

I went to her ward.  She changed from her hospital clothes and I gave them the papers.

"If you have any problems you can call me anytime di" I said to her

"Yes. Of course and I'm glad to find a friend in you. " she told

"Feelings mutual" I replied and she smiled.

She hugged me and I hugged her back. It feels family with her.

"Surbhi give me your number "she asked

" I have it di" Mahir said

"What's her number doing with you " she asked eying him

"Di...actually.."  he was trying to say when I spoke.

"Di actually he took it from me in any emergency case..As you know Dr. Bhatia will be out of India for month or some..So if in any case you may need it" I covered up.

"Oh.. Yeah..Mahir is grown up huh" she teased him

"I grew much before" he said imitating her.

"Surbhi it will be very great since we are friends and you are my gynecologist so I'll be coming to you for regular checkup and you'll come to meet me at home. Okay " she said

" New York.. Definitely " I joked and she laughed.

" You know Surbhi you spread happiness everywhere " she said and I smiled

" Okay. Mr. Mahir you can take your sister home" I told

"Yeah thank you Sur... Dr. Surbhi. Come di " he said.

I too went out of the hospital. I was waiting for driver uncle. 

He is always here but today he was not present. I called him.

" Uncle. Where are you ? I am waiting outside the hospital " I asked

" Madam actually I was on the way but tyre punctured and I don't have spare tyre. So I am going to garage "he replied

" Oh. So it will take a lot of time. Do one thing. Get it repaired and park it at home. I'll come by metro or cab" I said

"Madam I'll come in some time. You wait. It's late" he replied

"No-no. It's just 9.  I'll come. Don't worry uncle " I said.

" Okay madam" he told and I cut the call.

Come on Surbhi now cab or metro. I think cab's more good idea.

I was about to book a cab when voice of car's horn fell in my ears. I turned to find out.

"Mahir" I asked as He came out from his car.

 Where is his driver.  He's driving himself.

"What are you doing here Surbhi. I thought you might have gone home" he asked

"Yeah I was just waiting for my car but it got punctured so was just booking cab" I said

"Why you are booking a cab.  Come I'll drop you home" he offered 

"What.. No.. No It's absolutely fine.  I'll manage. You don't have to.. " I was saying when he spoke.

" Ms. Surbhi. You are crazy. At one instance you say me that we are friends  and the second instance you say this. I'm helping my friend okay. "he told

" Mahir. It's really fine. I'll manage. " I said

" Surbhi. I'm waiting in the car"he told and before I could say anything he went into the car.

 Is he crazy. He don't understand. What everyone at home will think....

Suddenly my phone vibrated. When I saw it was Mahir's message.

MAHIR'S FIRST MESSAGE. 

" Ms Surbhi if you are thinking that what everyone at your home will think.. Then I think I'll be glad to come inside your house and tell everyone that I've dropped their daughter safe and sound at home at this hour of night. And I think your dad knows me well.. So he'll not have any problem "

Yeah actually he was right... But it feels really awkward. I mean how...

But one more message popped in.

" Ms. Surbhi you don't have to feel awkward at all.. At least not in front of  me "

Is he a mind reader.

How is he knowing everything that's inside my mind.

" I'll even tell you the answer for this question also if you are thinking that how do I know what you want to say" he shouted from the window smiling .

"Yeah.. No... I mean no.. I'm thinking nothing like that" I said

"So will you now get inside" he asked. 

I nodded.

Why is this nervousness coming.  Why am I feeling so nervous. I was not this nervous even while giving my anatomy practical.

He opened the door for me. I had a sudden urge to go back.

"Make yourself comfortable Surbhi and at least trust me this much that I won't harm you in any way... I hope you know that. If you don't feel safe you can tell. I'll tell some female lady staff from home to drop you. " he said.

These words were enough for  me and somewhere my heart already trusted him but now I can say that yeah.. I completely trust him.

I smiled and moved inside.

" it's Okay. No need. I trust you this much" I said

"Thank God.  I thought you really don't trust me" he replied

"These words were enough for me to trust you Mahir " I said.

He smiled and gestured me to put my seat belt and I did the same!

"Wait! Where's di? " I asked

"Well, Raj jiju was here. So he took her home" He replied and I nodded.

" Shall we" he asked and I nodded

"Surbhi. Your home is in Saket, if I'm not wrong" he asked

"How do you know " I asked shocked.

As far as I remember I didn't tell him my address

" I've come to your home once with dad at Di's marriage time for invitation. I didn't see you then " he said

" What... When" I asked a bit more shocked.

"Two years ago.. Nearly February something" he told

"Oh..how will I come to know. I was not in Indore that time, so probably no discussions.. I guess" I said

"Yeah" he replied

"But sharp memory  Mahir.  You remember the address " I praised

" Thank you lady " he replied bowing his head in dramatic way.

" Mahir.. Eyes on the wheels. I don't want to die soon" I whisper yelled.

" I won't let that happen" he said looking at me.

What did he mean...

"I mean, I'm a not that...That bad.. At driving " he added.

" Yeah.. Yeah" I replied

"Mahir you don't have any friends other than Aanand and priya" I asked

"No, I never felt of making new friends... Till.. You came. You seemed genuine. Generous, someone who rather may not break my trust.. And as you said you have to take a chance to Trust someone. So I wanted to take a chance to trust you" he said

His voice is plain but his eyes showed different emotions... Like he has so much to say but he's not expressing himself.

"So I'm your third friend, right now"  I asked to lighten his mood

"Yeah "he said but in the same mood.

"I'm sorry " I admitted

" For what " he asked

" I think I spoiled your mood by asking such question " I told what I felt right now.

" No.. It's not like that.. It's just.... Leave.. Nothing "he replied.

There's something very much between his

It's just and nothing.

I nodded and tilted my face towards window shield and  closed my eyes. 

I always love this air.

Mahir there's probably something which is bothering you from making new friends.. Trusting people and more than that loving yourself...

I hope I could help you.. I Really want to help you.
