His Obsession

Chapter 4 : Disastrous Date

“Miss Patel I must say I was really impressed with how you handled the situation yesterday. You remained calm and acted fast to save the Rottweiler,” said Dr White. Mishti replies shyly “Thank you.” Dr White asks Mishti to prepare a post care treatment plan for Rocco because he is going to be discharged. Mishti agrees but silently prays that she doesn’t run into Shivaan.  Rocco moans when he sees Mishti. She pets him gently. “Aw cutie pie, you are a really brave, strong boy.” Rocco licks Mishti’s hand, she leans down and kisses Rocco’s nose. Shivaan looks at Mishti with Admiration. “What wouldn’t I do to be Rocco right now,” he thought. He steps closer to Mishti who's unaware of his presence. Mishti is done removing Rocco’s IV line, she turns to leave but bumps into Shivaan who instinctively grabs Mishti’s arms to prevent her from falling. They gaze into each other’s eyes oblivious to the world around them until Mishti comes to her senses when she remembered the mysterious call from the previous night. She gently pushes Shivaan away, she hands him Rocco’s post care treatment plan and leaves. Shivaan is excited to take his best friend home.

Mishti peers into Drishti’s room, she ducks to avoid a sweater being thrown at her. “Choti, what’s going on, your room looks like a tornado hit it.” Drishti points at Shivangi while she grumbles in frustration “Di this is all your fault, uff why did I let you talk me into volunteering myself to be auctioned for this stupid date.” Mishti grabs Drishti’s shoulders. “Calm down Choti, mmm let me guess, my tigress can’t seem to pick an outfit for tonight. “Mishti walks to the closet and picks out a pair of black leggings. She matches it with a burgundy woollen dress top. Drishti looks at the outfit, taps her finger on her cheek as she decides on her sister’s choice. “Di it’s perfect, I think I’m going to match this lovely outfit with black ankle boots.”

It’s already 6pm and Drishti is still not ready for her date. Divi hears the doorbell ring and asks Mishti to see who's at the door because she is busy in the kitchen. Mishti opens the door but is in shock when she sees Drishti’s date. “Dr Mishti, what are you doing here,” says Alok as he looks at her with a confused expression on his face. “Alok right, I live here.” Drishti appears next to Mishti, Alok feels his breath hitch in his throat because he is stunned by Drishti’s beauty. “Damn girl, I feel like heaven just fell at my feet.” Alok continues gazing at Drishti who rolls her eyes in annoyance. “Mr. Richie Rich, if you are done with your corny pick-up lines can we get this date over with.”  Alok takes Drishti’s dainty hand and plants a soft kiss on her fingers, she pulls her hand away angrily as she elbows him. “Anymore stunts like this, I will cut of your nuts and feed them to Trixie.” Alok gulps as he leads Drishti to his Ferrari.

Mishti is engrossed in her research on modern vaccines for pets when she hears her phone ringing she answers. “Hi beautiful.” Mishti remains silent, she immediately recognizes the voice, she asks in a shaky voice “Shivaan how did you get my number?” Shivaan replies huskily “Darling I’m very well connected.”  Mishti keeps remembering the threatening phone call, she is pulled out of her thoughts by Shivaan’s voice. “Beautiful are you still there?” Mishti’s heart flutters, she finds Shivaan’s husky voice very charming. “How’s my favourite patient doing?” Shivaan replies “Rocco is the reason I’m calling, he’s looking a bit down, I wanted to know if I could send my driver to fetch you and Trixie. I know having his favourite vet and new bestie will get his short tail wagging again. "Mishti is conflicted because she has a soft spot for Rocco and would do anything to help his recovery, but she is afraid to be close to Shivaan after the threatening phone call. Shivaan is praying Mishti agrees so he can set his plan in motion to make her fall for him. After pondering over a decision, Mishti agrees to visit Rocco with Trixie.

Drishti is looking at the menu, she is already annoyed at the fact that she had to go on a date with a rich spoilt playboy. The waitress approaches their table, Drishti notices how she exposes her cleavage literally throwing herself at Alok who is busy flirting with her. “If you done being a man w***e can this dumb brawn who has no self-respect take our order.” Alok smirks and winks at the waitress. “Aw I think my date is jealous, I tell you what baby gal we will continue this later.” Drishti grits her teeth, gets up and throws the glass of champagne in Alok’s face. “That’s it I’m done with this you arrogant b#*t#*d, this date is over.”  Alok holds Drishti’s hand to stop her from leaving but yelps in pain when Drishti stomps on his foot with her high heel ankle boots. Drishti is fuming as she gets into the cab, she notices Alok chasing her and flips him off using her middle finger.

Mishti enters Shivaan's exquisite Penthouse with Trixie, she hears shouting and is disgusted when she sees a red-haired woman trying to straddle Shivaan. He pushes her away in anger. “GET OUT BEFORE I HAVE SECURITY THROW YOU OUT.”  Mishti watches the red-haired woman stomp off in anger, she is afraid of Shivaan's anger. Shivaan notices a scared Mishti, he takes long strides towards her but is annoyed when he notices her retreating. Mishti feels her back against the wall, Shivaan places his hands on either side of the wall caging Mishti. He whispers in her ear “Do I make you nervous beautiful.” Mishti could feel her heart racing, she hears Trixie barking and gently pushes Shivaan away. Shivaan chuckles as he pets Trixie, "Looks like someone is eager to meet Rocco.” Trixie wags her tail as she licks Rocco's face. Rocco howls with excitement, Mishti leans down and kisses Rocco's nose. Shivaan enters the room and hands Mishti a steaming cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. Mishti smiles as she sips on her hot chocolate, "Mmm this is delicious.”  Shivaan smiles revealing his gorgeous dimples as he gently wipes the cream from Mishti's upper lip who blurts out, "wow, you have an adorable smile.” She feels embarrassed and instantly puts her hand over her mouth. Shivaan breaks into a fit of laughter causing Mishti to hide her face in her hands. Shivaan removes Mishti's hand from her face and gently pinches her cheek, “I have been called many things, but this is the first time someone thinks I'm adorable.” They hear the door slam shut; their eyes widen when they see Alok. Shivaan steps forward and hands his brother a handkerchief, “Why do you look like a drowned rat?” Alok points at Mishti, “Her demonic sister is the reason for my miserable state.” Mishti stifles her laughter as Shivaan nudges her, “I think my playboy brother has finally met his match.” Mishti leaves the penthouse. On her way home her phone beeps, she reads the text message, “YOU B#T*H I’VE WARNED YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM SHIVAAN, HE’S MINE, LOOKS LIKE I’M GOING TO HAVE TO TEACH YOU A LESSON.”
