"Mallika, Mallika, please listen to me. Sunn toh lo na..... Please stop Mallika"

      She said following her best friend Mallika, who was walking too fast. Mallika stopped and turned.

"What?? What do you want to say? Look, I don't want to listen anything. How could you Annika? Why you did that?"

"Mallika you know the reason na. It's very important, so I had to agree for whatever they said. It's my duty na..... Please understand."

"You did this everytime. You always chose your duty over anything. But not this time. This is the most important event in my life n I want my bestie beside me all the time."

"Oh... So you are worried for that? Don't worry yaar, I will beside you in each n every function, promise."

"Only functions?? I need you all the time. There are so many things left and I decided that we will do them together once you came. But you.....you already gave your time to your two....."

"Correction, it's not two...it's three now."

"Exactly..... Already two was not enough that you took this third too? Why Annika? You are coming for me or for your work?"

"Of course I am coming for you baby. But you know na my duty. I have to be available for them
24 * 7. N infact tujhe toh khush hona chahiye na... Because of you may be I will be able to save those 3 lives."

"Yeah yeah I know all this. But still yaar... it's most important event in my life n you will be busy with your cases."

"I know Mallika that this is the most important event of your life. But you know, Life is most important event other than all those tiny n not so important events. Right?"

"Hmmmm right..... And I am very proud of you. You are saving many lives each day. It's not easy job for you. Still you are doing it with much dedication."

"Hmm.... My job is my passion Mallika. I love to treat them. You know Life is too short n unpredictable. And I am very happy that I help some people so that they can live their life for some more days. Not that everyone who came to me is near to their death. But still those who are in very critical condition na, I feel glad when I can able to save their life. So they can enjoy this beautiful life n it's each n every moment."

"Yeah and I loved to see that happiness on your face after your every case. You are just great. You know my eyes gets moisten whenever those people says you are some angel or some goddess who came to save their loved ones lives."

"Hahaha...... I am not any angel or goddess. I just do what's there in my hand. And you know what, actually more than me, they themselves help them more. I just tell them one thing, 'No one is coming to save you. This life of yours is 100% your responsibility.' "

"Yeah this is true actually. Everyone have to take care of their health with almost care."

"Hmm n one more thing I always said to them, 'Don't be afraid to give up the GOOD to go for the GREAT.' "

"Ohho Annika mata ki jay. No one can win over you in these deep talks about life, love, happiness. Tell me one thing, you speak so well so why you didn't chose lecturership as your profession? Actually this suits you better. Imagine you completed your Ph.D. on Moral Gyan n life equations. Wowww....."

"Seriously talking , I would love to do that too. But see, if I was professor or any consultant then I can only be possible to give lectures on life, happiness, how to live a happy life, and all that. But now....."

"But now you are doing more important work than that."

"Yeah consulting people on how to live their life is nice. But helping them to live, healing their pain, giving them some more time to live their life is thousand persent better, hai na? That's why I chose this one. N I am very happy with my this job."

"Yeah yeah you are absolutely right. But one suggestion for you, please don't give your these gyaan to your patients. They are already suffering from heart problems n they will suffer with headache too after your deep talks,same like me."

"Oh please, my these talks helps them to recover fast. Whenever I told them about life, about happiness they listened to me n then promise me that they will also live happily now forgetting their all disease. N then they take care of their health in much better way, with utmost care."

"Ohh so this is the secret haa?"

"Which secret?"

"You did this with your patients along with the treatment. N it helps them to recover fast. N therefore your all cases, all operations are successful till now. N that's why you are one of the best heart surgeon in the whole world."

"Hmm may be. You know each n every one listened when I says, 'Live a WANT TO life, not a HAVE TO life' "

" I know I know. You tell this to everyone. Sabse jyada mujhse kehti hai. But you know my jaan, you are the best. N I am so proud of you."

      Mallika said hugging her best friend.

"Hmm. Now I can see you are not angry with me. Thank god. But now stop praising me. Let's go for lunch. After that I need to study all reports of my third patient. His case is very complicated."

"Ohh..... BTW what's his name?"

"Umm.....let me check...Dr. Sehgal sent me his reports....haa got it..... His name is Shivaay Singh Oberoi"

"Whatttttttt????"

"Om, I know you are not interested in my business but can you do me a favor?"

      He asked his younger brother while serving him some daal.

"What happened? Is everything alright? Any problem at work? Are you ok? You are again suffering from pain?"

"Relax Om relax, I am perfectly fine. N there is nothing to worry. Everything will be alright soon."

      He said and smiled looking at his younger brother assuring him that he is fine.

"Wait a minute, Bhaiya you...... You are smiling??? Really? O, pinch me. Pinch me O. It's equal to impossible. I think I am seeing dream again."

      His little brother said and he hits on his head playfully.

"Rudy, stop being over dramatic,  ok? Om, tell me can you?"

"Of course Shivaay. Bhai ka hukoom sar aankho pr. Tell me what it is."

"Actually tomorrow I arranged meeting with our clients on our new site. But now I can't able to go there  So will you attend them? You don't have to do anything. Our manager will be there he can handle everything you just have to be present there ."

"Ok fine. I will go. But why you are not going? Don't tell me you are busy with some other meeting n all. Shivaay how many times I told you, take care of your health too. Now our condition is better. So no need to work too much, forgetting about health n all other things. Please Shivaay don't take too much stress. It's not good for you."

"No Om, I don't have any meeting or work."

"Then??"

"You guys forgot about that? Om, you fixed my appointment with doctor. N that appointment is tomorrow. So I have to go there first, hai na?"

      He said casually and his brothers started coughing.

"What did you say? You are going to hospital? Really??"

"Yes. Why you are so surprised Om? You was the one who forced me to go. You gave me those a boring lectures too."

"Yeah but you never listened. You denied it everytime saying you are fine n you don't want to waste your time n money for treatment. So, what happened now?"

"It's all her magic."

      He murmured.

"What did you say Bhaiya?"

"Nothing. I was saying my life is my responsibility na, not anyone's else. So I have to take care of my life na..no one will take care of it more than myself."

      He said and his brothers were too shocked. He looked at them and smiled.

"N it's better to 'Live a WANT TO life, not a HAVE TO life' "

"Ohho. This is very interesting Shivaay. But who told you this? If I am not wrong, before sometime you were saying my advice n lectures are boring. N now you are talking about life n all? Tell me who told you this?"

"Angel, a beautiful angel."

      He said remembering her.

"Angel?? Bhaiya you met any girl? Ohho.....sounds very interesting. Who is she? What's her name? Where she lives?"

"Who??"

       He asked coming out from his dreamland.

"Angel...who else Bhaiya? I mean who is she?"

"Angel?? Who Angel? No no there is nothing like that Rudy. I was just.....just joking. I said those lines as they came in my mind, nothing else"

      He said covering up.

"No way Shivaay. I know you very well. You never think like this. N you never able to think like this in next seven births. So tell me who was she?"

"No Om, there is no one. I was just..... I was just....."

"Bhaiya, you can never able to hide anything from us. So don't try. N tell me fast who is she? Is she beautiful?"

"Beautiful? Yeah she is breathtakingly beautiful. Just like an angel."

      He said again thinking about her.

"Ohho..... O, see Bhaiya is praising a girl. And now look at his smiling face. Waah angel changed our Bhaiya.... Angel you are goddess..."

"Rudy, don't start your drama again."

"Shivaay, tell me about her. What's her name?"

"Name? I don't know her name."

"What? You don't know her name?"

"Yeah I don't know. I just met her last night."

"You didn't ask her name?"

"Before I ask, she left from there."

"Wowww. That means she was really an angel."

      His little brother said dreamingly and he laughed.

"No Rudy, her little brother came there n she left from there with him."

"Ohh..... But for me she is angel only. Because of her my Bhaiya agreed for his treatment. Thank you so much angel."

"Haa haa we need to thank her. After all she did the thing which neither me nor Rudra can able to do ever."

"Hmm..... Now stop all this, ok?  go n sleep, it's too late. Om, can you give me my reports which Dr. Sehgal gave you?"

"Yeah I will get that"

      Om said and left from there.

"Bhaiya can I come with you?"

"No Rudy, I will go by myself. You don't have to bunk your classes for that."

"But Bhaiya....."

"Shivaay, these are the reports. Read them."
    
      Om said coming towards him.

"Ok thanks. N Om, you told me that Dr. Sehgal gave my case to another doctor?"

"Yeah. Dr. Sehgal said she is one of the best heart surgeon and she will handle your case easily as she is more talented than Dr. Sehgal."

"Ohk... what's her name?"

"Umm..... I forgot actually. See in the file. It's written there"

     He nodded and opened his reports file.

"Bhaiya what's her name?"

"One minute Rudra, let me check..... Hmm got it..... Her name is... Dr. Annika Vardhan Trivedi"
