Strings Of Heart ✅️

32.

When clear sky meet stars and when snow falls indicating its time to admire the beauty with the one you love.

That's what she said when Yug asked when she is going to come back home. I smiled how destiny keeps on pushing us to be together.
She jumped with Yug as he squealed loudly. Laughter echoed around us while I sat at a distance looking at them. One of the things I love about Anagha is that she mends herself to match with my brother. We both are grateful for her unending love. With messy ponytail and brownish green patch on her pants, Anagha approached me.

"Sir! Come!." She squealed. I stood shocked in my place.

What?

Pulling towards me I held her too close.

"I was your SIR after you joined MD, before that I assume it's just Amogh?." I questioned. Her stuttering and nervous looks made me less demonic but if I had my way, I would have punished her.

"I...I was making fun of you. " She said wiggling out of my hold.

After their intense hide and seek session, we both got ready to report for work. Thankfully Yug sleeps early and it's easy for us to leave for night shifts. Dhruv and Varna promised us that they will check on him every few hours.

"Imagine how will you guys manage if you have a baby of your own? Sometimes me and Dhruv we keep baby videos marathon to learn how crazy they can be! It's fun to have babies. What do you say?!." Varna spoke as we were standing in their home to inform about Yug. Dhruv gave her a look.

"They are expensive." He commented without a smile to which my wife laughed.

"Come on!." Varna whined.

"I won't be having any problem raising our child when we both are working. I am already getting trained about how crazy they can be with you. " He cooed a total 360 turn of his mood. Taking the cue we both left them alone and warned Yug not to switch on stove or touch heater and call us if there's any problem.

As we walked hand in hand to our hospital, I was more than delighted to work in same space. It was cold like yesterday but we managed to walk past the harsh weather.

"Where will you be today?." I asked her.

"I will be going around for rounds. Then mostly in chamber. What about you?." She asked.

"I don't have ward duty today. Some paper work and probably overlook what others are doing." I Said. She nodded her head as ok. Since I will be head of neurology department and mostly general surgery work will be handled by some other doctor, I don't think I will have hectic shifts everyday.

"Come to my cabin. I have a bed to lie down too. Don't stress yourself ok?." I asked to which she replied ok. We parted ways but found that same idiot Dr Samridh talking with her.

"You have night shifts from today? I have too! I will be helping new head of neuro department. Let's meet during our break then?." He spoke patting her shoulders.

Why do people go touchy with beautiful girls?

Especially my girl?

She looked back, gave me a smile and walked away. Finally after many months I am at peace! Things escalated badly after I revealed that Anagha is my wife. My department HOD made sure to poke his nose in every case and create problems for me, since administration couldn't remove him nor file case against his misdoings, I applied for a transfer. I promised myself to have her 1year away from me but my mind couldn't agree with it. If this college wants to save someone like him I don't think I can work or live there. Rubbing my eyes, I looked into cases I was asked to treat and all the paperwork. Yug called me from the phone I have given him asking me to tell him how to unlock child lock setting on his phone. I laughed and asked him to rest as Anagha will get angry if he doesn't behave. I am surprised at his patience and love for my wife. We both expected him to be demanding but he turned out to be a calm child who just wants Anagha for company.

Kids are kind.

"Sir, there's a case. Dr Samridh has asked me to inform you, in case you want to look into it?." Nurse informed me. I nodded my head walking towards the ward where I saw my wife standing with him. She was busy talking with that child's parents who looked worried.
As I walked closer to them, i saw the boy who spoke with Yug yesterday laying on bed with saline attached to him.

"What happened.?" I asked not knowing how vulnerable the situation is. As soon as I approached them his parents fell on my feet wailing loudly. Anagha tried to console him but they were weeping.

"We didn't know about his condition! He can't be sick!." They cried. Analyzing the reports which were headed by Anagha, I saw that the boy had series of fever and presence of nervous disorder which is very rare.

"Let's run some more tests? See if we can treat this with medication. Since govt provides funds for children I don't think they will have to spend money. No need to worry, Dr Anagha, Dr Samridh and myself will look into this personally. You just be calm, take care of your other child. This champ is totally fine after few days of medication." I motivated smiling at them. They touched my feet and left us to stay with their children.

'No matter how many lives you save, how well you connect with the patient takes away half of their pain. Surgery is not the solution. Affection and being sympathetic with their situation is.'

'Amogh, there were many and there will be many after me. What stays here is how well you create an impression during your time as surgeon.'

'Patient remembers the pain as well as your loving words for lifetime. Chose what you want to give them'

"Dr?." Someone spoke as I looked at my wife who had frown on her face. Turning around I was greeted by few more doctors who introduced themselves.

"So I heard you both are husband and wife?." One of the doctor Akira mentioned as I nodded my head as yes.

"That's nice! We will get to see some romance then!." She winked at Anagha who blushed. But look on Dr Samridh face was noteworthy. I held her hand asking Anagha to come with me. She excused herself before handing over file to a nurse. As we walked people looked at our intertwined fingers and smiled shyly. Whereas my wife was busy looking into her phone. I couldn't open my mouth during her MD as I feared people will spoil her mental health and I didn't want her to go away from me but my decision indeed made her move from my place.

"Did you eat?." I asked. She nodded her head as yes.

"With whom?." I questioned pulling her towards me.

"Samridh." She answered in a low tone.

"I don't like him. " I said adjusting her hair.

"I don't like him too. Moreover, we are married we shouldn't like other people." She smiled touching my cheek. There was unspoken silence between us. We just admited each other, this close proximity and love we have seems to be radiating off without any words. Anagha sat down in my cabin, with her curious eyes she inspected everything and smiled at me as if she's satisfied with this arrangement.

"Wanna sleep here?." I asked her.

"No, no! I can't! I need to check on vitals of that child which we have operated on. If I sleep Sam will pounce on me." She laughed getting up.

"Sit down for now. Leave when you have to. " I said holding her my shoulders. She titled her head ,looked at me and nodded.

Wonder what's going on in her head now?

"How did you get transfered to here?." She asked finally. I knew Anagha is always careful while asking me reasons but for her this seemed to be sensitive topic.

"Home is where you are and I left my home unattended for 5 long months. Now, I am finally home. " I replied sitting beside her. Her eyes watered up and she sniffed looking at me.

Did my heart just flutter???
