~ The Years Between Us~

~ The Blame Game ~

But only if she knew that the one in front was purposely pushing it over her.

“Ma'am.. Yeh dekhiye.. It's not even my handwriting.. Ma'am.. ", Hridaya walked to her senior showing the file.

“ Really.. Really Dr. Hridaya. Then you'll say ki upar jo likha hai, woh bhi aapki handwriting nahi hai. Right? ", Dr. Kimaya questioned fiercely.
Hridaya quickly checked.
“No.. No ma'am. Upar ki handwriting meri hi hai.. But I didn't write this one.",Hridaya reasoned.
“ Oh so you want to say, ki tumhare patient ki file kisine li aur sirf yeh last dawai likh di. And you didn't do this mishap?
Really Hridaya! Stop lying. ", Dr. Kimaya shouted.
“Mei sach keh rahi hu ma'am. Maine sach mei nahi likha.. Please trust me. ", Hridaya was losing it now.
“ Trust You? ", Kimaya chuckled as she said that, she further continued, “Koi proof hai tumhare pass to prove your innocence. "
“Ma'am.. Mei.. ", just then they heard a voice intervening.
“Ma'am she did it. She was the last one to touch that patient's file. She made the last entry. I saw it myself. ", it was Dr. Mahi, the fellow intern.

Hridaya's eyes widened. A baseless blame was being forcefully levied upon her.
“Mahi.. Tu.. Tu jhoot kyu bol rahi hai! ", Hridaya charged towards Mahi.

“Hridaya you can't be bullying your fellow mate. And specially when you are the one guilty.
See we have a witness too now. ", Dr. Kimaya shouted making Hridaya to step back.

(Ma'am.. See... It's not even my handwriting.. Ma'am..)
(Really.. Really Dr. Hridaya. Then you'll say that the upper thing is also not your handwriting. Right? )
(No.. No maam. The upper thing is in my handwriting ... But I didn't write this one.)

(Oh so you want to say that someone took your patient's casefile just to write the last prescription? And you didn't do this mishap?
Really Hridaya! Stop lying. )
(I am telling the truth ma'am. I didn't write this. Please trust me.)
(Do you have any proof to prove your innocence. )
Mahi.. You.... Why are you lying?)

“Aisi doctor banogi. Jo zindagiyo se yu khele sirf?
Maa-baap ke paiso se seat toh kharid li hogi, par aakal aur ek accha doctor baane ka gun kharida nahi jata.
Hogi tum tumhare papa ki pari par tumhare papa kisiki jaan kharid sakenge?
Doctors ko bhagwan ka roop kehte hai, aur aise banogi tum ek acchi doctor?
Pata bhi hai tumhe society ke liye doctors kitne zaroori hote hai. Jaane bachate hai hum, par tum toh jaane lene ke liye doctor bani ho shayad!
Maze ki baat toh yeh hai, ki tum jaise irresponsible, insensitive, careless ladki par tumhare maa-baap naaz karte honge.
You were responsible for what happened today.
Agar aise hi chalta raha toh God knows what all damage you will cause.
No, this negligence can't be tolerated. You should be suspended. ", saying this Dr. Kimaya griped Hridaya's hand in a painful grasp as she pulled her out of the room, walking towards the Devil's cabin.

Before leaving, she gestured an assuring look towards Dr. Mahi.

All the way, Hridaya tried pulling her hand away, telling it out respectfully that she didn't do anything.

But the little innocent heart of hers was stuck in the particular words of Dr. Kimaya.

“Maa-baap ke paiso se seat toh kharid li hogi, par aakal aur ek accha doctor baane ka gun kharida nahi jata. "

"Hogi tum tumhare papa ki pari par tumhare papa kisiki jaan kharid sakenge? "

"Maze ki baat toh yeh hai, ki tum jaise irresponsible, insensitive, careless ladki par tumhare maa-baap naaz karte honge. ”

(This is how you'll become a doctor?
By playing with lives?
By using you mom-dad's money you must have bought the seat. But intelligence and the ability to become a good doctor cannot be purchased.
You must be your dad's princess but can your dad purchase someone's life?
Doctors are next to God they say, in this way you'll become a good doctor? With this negligence?
Do you even know how important doctors are for the society?
We save lives but you seem to be the one who takes them instead.
The fun fact is your parents must be proud of such an irresponsible, insensitive, and careless girl like you.
You were responsible for what happened today?
If this goes on then God knows what all damage you will cause.
No, this negligence can't be tolerated. You should be suspended. )

Hridaya didn't even realise when she stood infront of the scary gaze of the Devil himself.

Dr. Viraj Roa Bhosle was sitting in all his glory in front of her as Dr. Kimaya was pouring all the blame over Hridaya into his ears, while Hridaya was all lost.

Her heart was feeling the crumbling feeling as she wondered.
“Why me? Why am I being targeted? "
She raised her teary gaze to meet the ones seated right in front of her.

Dr. Viraj was looking as if he was not paying even a bit of attention, for his sole attention was in the file that was in his hands. His eyes unwavering from the papers but Dr. Kimaya continued nevertheless.

For few seconds Hridaya wondered if he was even listening to it all.

But even though his eyes were not gazing at her, she could free a certain distinct aura that was radiating from his self.
A dangerous aura to be precise.

Hridaya turned to look at Dr. Kimaya.

“She has been like this, irresponsible, ever since the start. I thought she'll learn it with time. But No!
I have never seen such a careless intern ever.
Suspend her, Dr. Viraj. ", the words of Dr. Kimaya washed Hridaya with utmost fear.
Suspend?
How? And why?
She did nothing. Then why? Why were the people whom she considered to be good harassing her?

Her mind went blank as the feeling of betrayal and hurt clouded her mind.She could hear her younger self who was working day and night to get into this profession, those motivational talks of hers, those self assurances, those dreams.

Was all it to crumble down in just moments? That too so easily? That too when she did nothing?
Why?

Just then Dr. Kimaya silenced up altogether as the man in front showed her his hand asking her to stop as he raised his dark black orbs to take a look of his surroundings.

He did listen to everything. Every damn thing.

“Suspend her. ", Dr. Kimaya said with finality.

Hridaya turned to look at the man who had his gaze fixed at her.

“Anything in your defense? "
