A white lady with a blonde hair , wearing a nurse's dress came towards her and checked her trip and took it off from her hands . Arushi sat on the bed with confused face . Seeing her face nurse responded

" Mam , don't worry now you are alright . Your friend was here a few minutes ago , she just left now only "

" But why am i here ? "

" Mam , you had a panic attack , because of that stress you fainted and your friend got you here . "

" Where is the doctor ? can i talk with him ? "

" Sorry Mam , He left a few minutes before you woke up . But he told me to give you some instructions . Your friend told us that you had a panic attacks two yrs before and its the first time after that long gap . So what led you to have a sudden stress ? "

" Ah... it just some job related stress plus my friends daughter is ill . I think all those stress lead me to that " Arushi lied to her . She felt very uncomfortable in that moment . She don't want to open up with a complete stranger .

" Ok Mam , you have any medicines for your stress ? , if not doctor pricribed some for you "

" No need . I have them . Can i leave now ? i am fine.... and feels ok "

" Ok Mam , You can leave " Nurse gave her the permission , so she got up from the bed and walked near to the door . Soon the nurse called her from back and she turned her head to that direction .

" Mam , this is the card of Doctor , he told me to give this to you . He will come back next week only so if you want any advise or help you can call him "

Nurse gave her the card of doctor but Arushi didn't gave it any importance and put it into her handbag . She came out of the room and took a deep breathe . Again turned back to see the name board on the door . ' 𝐃𝐫 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐛 𝐌𝐞𝐡𝐭𝐚 ' she read the name in her mind and felt it ecoing inside . Also one more thought came into her mind - " So he is an Indian ! "

Arushi walked back to Kavya's room . She opened the door and entered into the room . She saw Madhu and her husband spending time with their babygirl . This time she went directly towards Kavya . Madhu stood up from the chair near the bed to give space for Arushi .

" How are you feeling now ? I am sorry i left you alone there " Madhu spoke with a conserned face .

" Hey its ok Madhu , I am alright . " saying this she went to ill- girl and caressed her head .
" How is she now ? "

" She is ok Isha , she is asleep because of the medicines " Madhuri replied.

" Ok i think its time for me to leave , Madhu you wanna come with me to take both of your clothes as you both are staying here for three days " Arushi wanted some alone time to make her mind peaceful but she can't be so selfish too . At this time her Madhu needs her . She have to be here by her Madhu's side , like she supports her in every situation . But she is affraid of these complicated relations . She is affraid of someone's deep care and love for her . She can't break their hope and faith for her like she done in past . Her all these thoughts broke when Maduri spoke out .

" Yes , i will come with you "

Both the friends walked to the car parking area in complete silence . They got into the car and Arushi started to drive . Maduri with a worried face was looking outside . Arushi also tried to avoid their eye contact .

They reached Maduri's home , and got out from the car . Madhuri unlocked the house and Arushi followed her . But both went to different directions after entering into the hall . Maduri went directly towards her bedroom and Arushi went to the kitchen. Maduri's dresses were already packed because of the journey so she packed Kavya's and her husband's clothes . After finishing , she saw a cup of coffee , her isha made to lighten her mood . Maduri had many things to talk with Arushi but she is not sure its the right time or not , she just nodded and gave her a thankful smile and took the coffee mug . Arushi also smiled back and both of them sat down on the bed , without looking at eachother . Smell of the coffee was so temptating . It was very hot , but Maduri took a small sip from it . Everything was perfect and that lit her mind , she gazed at her friend who is sitting near but was lost 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 .
