Finding True Love

Little friend

Risha POV

It was my first day as an intern. I was nervous at first and Mr. Jerks comment made me angry. But I couldn’t be angry on my first day. So somehow I kept myself calm. The day wasn’t all bad at all. After dinner, I gave mum-mum her medicine and read a story to her. She fell asleep after a while. Then I went to the roof and saw Alex, standing there leaning against the railing. He was looking at the sky.

“Wow, you know how to watch stars,” I joked.

“Why is it only you who can do that?” he retorted.

“Can I ask you something?” I asked.

“Spill it.”

“Why are you acting like a jerk towards me? You are so good with mum-mum. Did I do something so I received this kind of attitude from you?” I asked. I need to know.

He laughed bitterly. “Why do you care?” after saying that he left. “Don’t be late tomorrow,” he said before leaving.

Maybe I should stop thinking about him. It gave me a headache. After some time, I came back to the room and went to sleep.

The next day was like the blink of an eye. After we came back from hospital, I went to my room to freshen up. When I came back to the drawing room, I saw Alex was sitting on the couch reading some magazines. Mum-mum was in the kitchen. I went to the couch and sat beside Alex. I was browsing my phone when I saw that.

“Ahhhhh…” I screamed and within a second I was on Alex's lap.

“What the hell? What are you doing on my lap? Get the f**k off!!” Alex yelled at me.

“I can’t. Look at that thing,” I told him, pointing to the floor.

“OH GOD. It’s only a rat. You are a doctor. God damn it, how can you be afraid of a little rat,” he scolded me. How can he tell me it’s only a simple rat?

“It’s already gone, now get off,” he told me softly.

I looked everywhere. That little thing is nowhere in sight. I sighed and looked at Alex. I didn't notice before, as we always fight, but he was truly handsome with his messy hair, sharp nose, dark eyes. He had a strange look in those enchanting eyes of his, then I noticed how close we were. I instantly got off and said sorry to him. I was embarrassed and I couldn’t face him right then, so I went to the kitchen quickly.

As soon as I went into the kitchen, mum-mum looked at me and asked “Did you meet your little friend?” For one moment I thought mum-mum was talking about ‘HIM’. Then it clicked on my head. She was talking about the rat.

“Yeah but the meeting was so horrible.” Then we both burst into laughter.

That night I went to my room. And saw that Toy. It always reminded me of HIM. I wondered if he remembered me or not. Alex kind of reminds me of HIM too. Even though their personalities were totally different, they had something in common in their eyes. The thirst for love, innocence. What am I thinking? Mr. Jerk and innocent!

After some reminiscing, I went back to mum-mum’s room. She was sleeping. I went to bed and snuggled into mum-mum.

“Missing someone?” she asked and I just nodded.

Mum-mum didn’t say anything else, just cuddled me. After a little while, I fell asleep.

The next day, when I was at the dean’s office, Alex entered that room. I was afraid he would tell me to be Alex’s assistant. Though it’s only for a week, it's still too overrated.

“Alex, for next week Risha will be your assistant. She will help you in your next operation for 1 week.” and here my nightmare came true.

He is literally insulting me all the time. What will he do in the operation theater? Maybe he will cut me into pieces if I do something wrong. It's OK, I can do it. I can handle anything. I consoled myself.

“But sir…” Alex went to say something but the dean stopped him. “No but. You two will work together. That’s final. I don’t want any argument. You, both can leave,” the dean replied, leaving no room for me to say anything.

“Why are you always stuck with me?” I cried when we were out of the dean’s room.

“You choose the wrong word. It’s you who is always stuck with me. Couldn’t you tell him that you can’t work with me? Or you enjoyed my company that you remained silent in front of the dean. Wait, did you ask him to make me your supervisor?” he shouted at me.

“ Do I look crazy to you? How could you think that I asked for a crazy supervisor like you?” I hissed at him. Arrogant jerk.

“Did you just call me crazy?” is he dumb! Obviously, I called ‘him’ crazy.

“Are you deaf? Is there anybody else whom I was talking about?” I retorted.

“You know what, I am your supervisor now. So you should respect me, otherwise you will get punishment. Put that on your thick skull. Today is your first day. That’s why I will forgive you,” he told me while smirking.

“You…” I was cut by him. “And you have to write an apology letter out of 5000 words,” he added.

“WHAT!” before I could say anything, he left. He f*****g left without hearing me. That Jerk. He is literally getting under my skin.

The rest of the day went in a blur. I was thinking of 101 methods to take revenge on that jerk. He is the one who kept insulting me all the time. He should write an apology letter to me. How could he tell me to do that and that’s also in 5000 words? What we are! School students!!

OK, it’s time to get my first revenge. After my shift, I went to his cabin, took the car keys and, without telling him, I went home driving his car and I made sure he didn’t find his wallet. When I entered the room, mum-mum asked me about Alex. I told her he was busy, and would come back within one or two hours. Alex came back after 2 hours, poor guy.

“Why did you bring my car without telling me,” he asked me as soon as he entered the drawing room.

“Mum-mum went to her friend’s so I wanted to come back early. I went to your cabin but you weren’t there, so I took the key and went home.”

“ OK,” was his simple reply. ‘Odd, right?’ Get prepared for my next weapon Mr. Jerk.
