Pratvik's Pov

This week went fast with all the work for Golden jubliee preparation. Things between me and Shakshi started to get smoothen up. She is not yet ready for relationship, I know that, but still she accepted my care as her saviour,
atleast. All my fate!

And this romeo, Varun, always being with Shakshi, keep stepping on my nerve. I too didn't miss my chances in playing with him and making him no his place with her. My girl is just like magnet pulling all the hot and smart men towards her nomatter how hard she try to resist them.

I'm tired with all my hospital duties plus the work for this event all week. The only thing made me happy is her presence.

It gave me plenty of times to adore her beauty, her smile, those delicate fingers making cute works, I just wanted to kiss those finger tips.

Yesterday she went sleep sitting on her chair after all the poster presentation work. Everyone must be tired. But my girl is so weak as she loves junk food, I need to do something to make her eat healthy.

She was decorating the top of the stage with glitter hangers standing on the ladder. Her sweet face with a drop a sweat trickling down her forehead to her cheek and then her chin, droped on her neck... It took everything in me to resist myself from doing something stupid!

Okay! My thoughts are going wild, who cares, however she is going to be mine!

Thankfully, there was no fightings and misunderstandings between us in the past week. Its just because we didn't have too much time to talk!

And she somehow tried to console me that Varun was just a good friend to her. Still, I know he had different plans for her, I don't want her to get mad and feel that I'm suffocating her. So, I went eased with it. Just for now?!

Finally, Today is the Golden jubliee event. I dressed myself appropriately in a suit.

I usually don't wear something dashy like this. Always simple and classy like that of blue or white with a formal tie. But this time, and him coming to the same event and to that he is hoisting it, No! No more formal old school style. I left my top two buttons open on my shirt and just one button on my suit which pefectly hug my broad shoulders. I didn't clean shave my beard but trimmed it and I left my hair dry rather than geling it neatly, boyish style!

I look myself in the mirror and hoped for the best to pull all her attention towards me and not to him! Lets see! I drove to the hospital. I straightened my suit and walked to the auditorium where the event is going to start in a hour or two.

"Welcome sir." the voice made my head snap at its direction. Its Shakshi!

She looks sooo beautiful. God! I have no words to explain. She wore a saree which somehow matched my suit shade. I never seen her in saree before. She was always some cute little teenager in my eyes, wandering here and there in kurthis covering her completely.

Her south indian style attire added more beauty to her own self. Her hair tied up in a bun. Her golden earings with the matching choker dangling in air making rhythmic sounds to my ears. The red lipstick which was little bit dark today on her plum lips was perfect.Her curves were well marked with that draping. She turned me on instantly, even showing less skin and that in saree, compared to other women who were even just in bikini in my past day fun.

"Sir?" She giggled. "Welcome."

"Shakshi. You look..."

"Beautiful." Varun cut me off from standing beside me.

I felt irritated. He already started to spoil my mood. I sent him a sharp glare.

"What? Isn't she beautiful?" he smirked at me.

I want to punch him right in his face. Yeah! She is. But I can't accept anything at any point from him.

He dressed all in blue. Thankgod! I didn't chose blue today orelse we will be looking like brothers.

"What are you doing here? Just go to the back stage." my voice was cold.

"What man? Beautiful girls must stand in the reception and welcome the guests not hiding somewhere back. They are like a chill breeze in hot desert." he interruted us again smiling at Shakshi.

She blushed. Seriously? He just flirting with you infront of me. And you are bringing me down my girl.

"What's your problem kid? See your grandpa is waiting for you on the stage. Run to him like a good boy."
I mocked.

"Kid? Me? Not anymore! You know I'm grown a lot... Even I can make kids!" winking at Shakshi!

"You moron..." I balled my fist and about to throw him a punch. Shakshi hold my wrist and dragged me to her side whispering. "Stop!"

"Varun. I wanted this day to be a happy memory. So please..." Shakshi said to him in a low tone to avoid unwanted attention.

"Anything for you, cupcake!" he marched towards the stage giving me one last look.

She looked up at me still holding my hand.

"What? He started it!" I said like a five year old in defencing my action. This is not at all me. But I don't want her to hate me. So..!

"You are whining, Doc. She is controlling you in her magic spells. Isn't she?" Sharath said reaching us.

Shakshi panicked and untangled her hold and pushed me a little and stood away from me. Nice timings!

"Stop poking your long nose in my matters otherwise I'll break it!" I muttered at him.

"Okay! Chill Doc." he raised his hand in defence "Come, lets go in."

He dressed in all white. So much formal. What is he an angel or priest?

"Don't stand here. Just go and prepare for your welcome speech." I hissed at her. Its all because of that romeo. I honestly wanted to appreciate her beauty but he made me scold her atlast! Good job Mr. Baby maker!

She sighed and went to the backstage.

I sat in the front row disscussing some arrangements with Sharath. I ignored the glare from Varun sitting on the stage with the Chairman!

I was busy in instructing the students about the event then I noticed her climbing the steps to the stage with Varun dragging her hand. This people will surely unleash the beast within me. I was about to go there.

"Sir, the chief guests are arrived." One of the student informed us and waited there to accompany us to the entrance. Damn! I need to attend them.

I will deal with you people later. But surely bring an end to this. Especially you, Varun, making me angry all the time.

I inhaled deeply and closed my eyes to relieve some stress. When my eyes shot open, I saw him introducing her to the Chairman. What are you upto?

I sighed and made my way to the guests. The event started thereafter.

Shakshi with her sweet voice address the crowd with a warm welcome note. I took in this time to admire her features. Following her many doctors gave a short speech praising the hospital and finally the chairman announced about the free camps and operations. With a great round of aplause the event went till afternoon.
Sharath and I supervised the lunch arrangements for guests and VIP's and bidding them a thankyou.

We are already exhausted. I saw Shakshi and Arica hunched on their chairs after filling many applications for new admission for camps. I made my way to her.

"Lets go for lunch. You look tired!"

"I have to complete this. Look at the que and I'm not hungry!" her stomach betrayed her and growled.

"I can see that!"I chuckled.

"Stephan." I called him who was serving water bottles to the crowd in some distance.

"Sir?" he came to me.

"Replace Shakshi and fill the forms."

"But sir..."

"Just do it and thank me for making you work with Arica George!" I smirked.

He didn't argue and hung his head down. I know how to poke the stick in right hole!

I took her with me heading out the campus.

"Where are we going?" she stopped at her feet.

"For lunch! Somewhere out!" I said simply.

"Lets take it slow, sir. And its not right to leave Arica to do all the work."

"She is enjoying with Stephan."

"Stop embrassing people like that, sir."

"Hmm? Fine. Can we just go? My brain is frying out!"

"We can eat in the dinning hall."

"You want us to go togther there? Already the rumors are gushing out like fire."

"You ignited the spark, sir!"

"Are you complaining? I didn't create any scene. I'm just being my own and showing my self open. Thats it!"

"I can't win you over an arguement, sir!" she pouted at me.

"Don't pout with that cute face. Do you want your lipstick to be smudged again?" I cocked my eyebrow at her.

"You..." some anger mixed with embrassement flashed her.

"Hey Shakshi!" here comes the fly in search of my gulab jamun! Whoelse, its Varun.

Seeing me with her made him roll his eyes at me. Frustrated? Same here!

"Don't you have work to do man, other than disturbing her?" he frowned.

Disturbing? Who? Me?

"What about you then?" I sheathed through my teeth.

"Varun." calling him, Chairman came toward us.

"This is my grandson." he introduced him to some VIPs near him. They greeted him.

"Join us Varun, we are heading for lunch." Chairman said.

"Its fine sir! I'll eat with the students as I'm one among them now."

"He is so responsible.Your grandson is really a gentleman. He cares not to hurt anyone's feeling!" one of the VIP said to the Chairman and went leaving him.

Who? Him? What an act? Order this man a Noble prize for manipulating people's mind! It won't work on me!

"So, if you want to have lunch, there..." he pointed to a block "dinning hall for doctors and staff. And we, students, our dinning hall is here." he pointed to the block exactly opposite to the doctors dinning hall.

I didn't made such an arrangement. It was together till my last check this morning.

"Stephan" I called him as he is the representative.

"Sir?"

"Who changed my arrangement?"

"Its me, the great Varun, Don't shout at weak people. Due to crowd maintainance, I..."

I turned and stormed away.I just failed in front of my girl, such a humiliation. So I didn't want to stand there anymore hearing his stupid reasons. He is using his powers all in vain. He just wanted us to be seprated. And he succeeded in it. You will pay for this, Varun!

I lost my appetite. I straightly went to my desk attending patients in the camp. It was 3 now.

"Sir?"

Its Shakshi. She struggled between the people and made her steps towards me. I ignored her. I'm hell mad. So, I continued checking the pulse of my patient sitting infront of me.

"Aren't you hungry?" she came near me, her voice was barely audible.

I ignored her again.

She placed her hand flat on my table in front of me in an attempt to gain my attention.

"I didn't do anything why are you acting like this with me? Here, eat this!" she handed me a packed Shawarma.

"If you did nothing wrong, you won't come to me and bribing me here like this!" I looked at her.

"Its just because, you didn't eat."

"Why do you care?" I continued my work.

"Just some courtesy to the man who offered me food when I was hungry."

"If so, I don't want it. Neither your courtesy nor your food."

She placed the food on my table with a thud.

"Don't take your anger on food." she turned her heels and went.

Atleast she had time to think about me in her busy schedule with that romeo!

It was 4. The celebration winded up. Varun, in all his glory, went up on stage and took a hand mic.

"Everybody there! I know you all are tired. But the real fun is going to begin by 6. The party is on me. So there will be lot of drinks and dance tonight. Give your Gentleman and Lady a rest this night. Let loose your wild side. Party hard guys. You all are welcomed to my homecoming and tribute for all your hardwork party in the hotel tonight. No dresscode! No formality! Just enjoy!!!"

There was a big applause, whistles and cheering from the crowd.

Actually we need something like that. We doctors, being treated with much respect, can never be funning around like this all the time. Social maintainance! But the problem is him. My constant disturbance!

I huffed.

The crowd dispersed and get ourselves ready for the party tonight.
