Anjali's pov :

             The next day morning, as usual, I woke up to get ready for my college . I bathed and got ready in a simple salwar kameez and came down but to my suprise, my dad was present there who was reading something sincerely sitting in a dining table , maybe some reports of his patients. An idea popped up in my mind for my dear brother. With the smirk on my face I decided to execute the plan ."My dear brother you are going to pay for your deeds" I thought to myself. 

Soon after I walked before to him, my dad noticed my presence. Actually, I am a father's little princess in this house, my one and only supporter. Though he supports me, he will also give lots of advice for an hour. I love my father the most. 

Breaking my thoughts my dad spoke,  "What are you waiting for? Sit and have your tiffin, already you are getting late for the college." 

Now it's my time to execute my plan so I sat on my chair in a way my hand slightly hits his hands, "Ahhhhhhhhhh, dad it's paining" saying this I started acting like crying. My father got tension and came closer to me and checked my hands. 

 
"Ahh dad don't touch. Its paining from yesterday. " again I started weeping.

"What happened? Why are you screaming like this? " came my mom who was busy in the kitchen till this time.

"Anjali, I am asking you what happened? Is it paining so much? what happened just tell me fast. "said my dad panicking. 
    

" That's nothing, it's just a slight pain." said my mom because she wants to save my dear brother from my dad from getting scoldings but I won't let it go like that. 

 
"Ahhh no its paining too much" I acted like screaming. 

"Ok ok calm down, I don't want to lose my patience, just tell me what happened? " dad asked looking at me.

Keeping a sad face I started my act, "Actually dad, yesterday Aadhi twisted my hands to my back though I screamed that it was paining a lot he didn't let me go" said me. But that was not that much painful as I am portraying but my devil brother has to learn his lesson. 

Immediately my father called my brother who was getting ready for the college, "Aadhiii come down now", my father was going to start his lecture. Suppressing my laugh I stood there innocently as if I don't know anything

Aadhi came down, "What is the matter dad ", asked him. 

"Why did you twist her hand, you don't know how to behave to your sister", scolded father. 

 
Then only he got an idea of why he is standing there when he saw me with his furious eyes, I put a smirk on my face. I can't control my laughter by seeing his face but if I laugh now, then my plan will flop.

 "Anjali don't laugh calm down, after the result of this drama you can laugh till your stomach pains. " I said to myself to suppress my laughter. 

"Dad she mixed the water with salt in my water bottle, that's why " putting his head down he stated. He is little scared of dad when his dad was angry.

 
"If she did so, you should have complained to me or to your mother, you should not twist her like this, see now how she is suffering ", dad said in an angry tone. 

"You two are not still kindergarten going children who will fight for everything. You are grownups and you two are going to college but still behaving like a small kid. " he continued.

"Sorry dad", said Aadhi. 

"You don't have to say sorry to me, you have to say to Anjali", said, dad. I was in a cloud nine. 

With suppressing his anger, "Sorry" hearing those words from his mouth I got a feeling as if I have achieved a big war. 

"Also if you both repeat this again, then you both will get a severe punishment, keep it in your mind " dad said. Aadhi glared at me and went to his room. I know that his evil brain was now thinking something to trap me. 

Dad suddenly came to me and held my hands and said," Anjali you take a leave for college. We will go to the hospital and will take an X-ray to see what happened. If it is paining that much now, I will give you a pain medicine . Tell me. " Oh my god, my plan turned towards me now. What will I say to him? I hate hospitals from my childhood. 

" Nothing dad, I will manage and it's not that much-paining dad. " I said nervously.

"Still it's better to check princess," he said pressing my shoulder. 

"Dad, please I don't want to. If the pain exists till tomorrow, then definitely I will tell you dad. Now, please leave me" I said like begging. 

"Okay, but I will keep some ointments in your room. Apply that once you reach home" he said. I gladly accepted and went to college with my dad. 

As usual, we are in a practical class along with my team members and a professor who was assigned for our team. He quickly wrapped his hand into the gloves, picked a heart specimen and started explaining about that. 

I asked him in between, "Sir, I have a doubt. Why heart sounds like lub dub. I mean there are many sounds we have. Why exactly that sound sir?" I asked him like a brilliant student. He stared at me from head to toe, not only him, everyone in the team was giving me the same look. 

"If you really want to know the answer, you can ask your God because he only knows the answer to that question. It's our nature but our scientists found out that the sound "lub" was caused by the closure of mitral and tricuspid valves and the sound "dub" was caused by the closure of aortic and pulmonic valves. I know this only" he said glaring at me. 

The next few minutes I was continuously asking him doubts, he was pissed off. Finally, he went to the cardiovascular system. He is now having a wrist specimen that clearly shows the nerves in it. 

"This is called a radial pulse, doctors usually take the pulse from this nerve only. There are 4 pulse points in our body. First, it is a radial pulse, a second, pedal pulse which is in your leg, a third, brachial pulse which is under the elbow and finally, the carotid artery which is in your neck" he said slowly. 

"Sir doubt"  I slowly raised my eyes at him. He looks frustrated. 

"I know you will not ask any useful doubts but still it's my duty to clear them. Tell me, what is it? " he said dangerously. 

" Every doctor use stethoscope to hear our heartbeats, lungs which has minute sound so why can't they use a stethoscope to check our pulse instead of pressing their fingers at nerves. "  I asked innocently. 

He sighed and said," If you open your mouth next time, I will stitch it with my own hand. Just shut your mouth and listen" he warned and continued his lecture. I really want to know the answer now. 

I can say by his look that he was irritated more. Then he continued, "You are asking so many questions. Go to my room in the department and pick a pink color file that kept on my table. This is your punishment for your stupid doubts."

" Is there any wrong in asking questions. Everyone has the right to ask questions. As I am a super intelligent student I got many doubts so I asked him" I mumbled to myself to let out my anger and got out of the lab to do the punishment which is given by my stupid professor. 

As I am a new student I don't even know where the restroom is.  But this sir asked me to go to the department.

By asking the seniors over there I somehow reached the department. At last due to the excitement of finding the department I jumped as if a child found its favorite candy shop. I ran inside the department not even caring about the ones passing by. 

Suddenly I bumped into someone and the one who I bumped had scattered the papers which he was holding. 

  
I turned to see who it is and that was the time I regretted the most, "oh my god how can I be so careless" I said to myself. He was the same senior who I bumped yesterday morning. I am dead today, at least yesterday I had Bala beside me to save me. Now, who is going to save me from this arrogant senior? I don't even know his name. 

Breaking my thoughts he stood up from the floor after picking the papers, I thought he would scold me, curse me and so on. But after seeing me, his furious face turned soft and I thought I was imagining but no, his face really showed no anger.

 Breaking the silence, "I am sorry. I didn't do it intentionally I am really sorry." I said almost apologizing. 
  

Surprising to me he didn't scold me and added to it, "It's okay. Not a problem." I didn't expect it.

"I am sorry," he said.

"Why he is saying sorry unnecessarily," I thought. 

Then he continued, "Actually yesterday you bumped into me, that was actually my mistake too. I should have noticed you but that time I was in tension that's why I scolded you, sorry for that" said. 

" I am sorry too", I said, other than those words I had nothing in my mind as I thought of something.

"Do you know me?" he asked. What new puzzle he is putting now. I think he is full of puzzles. 

"No" I shook my head. 

"You would have seen me but have forgotten, I was the one who arranged the fresher's party and also I was the one hosted, now also you didn't remember me?? " he asked. 

I scratched my head, "Actually in that function I was physically present but mentally absent", I said with an embarrassment. 

"What I don't understand what you are saying", said him completely confused. 

"I..  Actually slept at the back row", I said with a sheepish smile. He widened his eyes making me laugh at him. 

"What? Did you slept? Really? " he said giving me an impossible look. I nodded my head in agreement. He sighed.

" Okay. Let's introduce ourselves. My name is Varun. You can call me by my name", he said forwarding his hand. 

"I am Anjali", I shook my hand with him which made both of us smile. 

"Okay, Varun. I have some work, see you later bye" I waved at him. He too walked away passing me a gentle smile. I quickly went to the professor's room, grabbed a file and went to the lab. 

"What makes you this much time madam", Sir asked in a deadly cold tone. 

"Sir, actually I slipped while running so I can't able to move from there and it took time to come here", I lied confidently. 

"Oh! Are you fine now? " he asked concerning. I hummed in response, then he started his lecture.
