12 YEARS LATER
"Shreya yaar uth it's already very late"
(Shreya dear, wake up.)
"Shreyaaaaaa"
"What the –"Shreya immediately got up as one jug of water was splashed on her face.
"Myra yaar kya hai?" She asked.
(Myra dear what's the problem?)
"Mujhe kuch nahi hai par agar abhi nahi gaye toh Juhi ma'am ko bohot kuch hoga" Myra, her hostel roommate answered.
(I don't have any problem but if we didn't go now, then Juhi ma'am will definitely have a lot of problems.)
"What the hell yaar you can't even sleep" Shreya whined going towards the washroom as she remembered she had to assist Dr Juhi at her surgery.
"You should have chosen something else if you wanted to sleep. MBBS and sleep are anti bro" Myra replied and lied down on her bed.
"Hey hey what? You also get up. Mujhe uthake khud so rahi hai?" Shreya said returning from the washroom dressed in pastel shaded formal shirt and pants. She liked wearing formal. And in that too, she liked pants-shirt and business suits a lot.
(You are sleeping yourself after waking me up?)
"Get up now or I will push you down from the bed." Shreya said to Myra in warning tone. "Hawww mai darr gayi" She replied sarcastically and went to the washroom. (Ohhhh I got scared.)
"This girl uff. Wait until one day I splash a jug of water on your face. "Shreya said.
"You have to wake up earlier for that kumbhakaran" Myra replied from the washroom.
Well, kumbhakaran was right. Although Shreya didn't like sleeping much but whenever she slept it would be difficult for her to get up.
It is like she can be awake for whole night but if you ask her to sleep and then wake up early next morning; it would be a big task for her.
In the beginning when she shifted to the hostel, she used to wake up before alarm. Maybe because she and Myra were not trustworthy for each other and she had to wake up early by her.
But later Myra started waking her up and she again started sleeping soundly.
In these 5 years, she and Myra had formed really good bond living away from their family in Delhi. They had been roommates since the beginning and are more like sisters than friends.
They had seen each other's ups and downs closely and supported when needed. Shreya always felt blessed to have Myra on her side.
Myra would take care of her whenever she is ill, would feed her and sang songs with all wrong lyrics to make her laugh whenever she was sad.
Shreya also reciprocated her love and care. She always motivated Myra to perform better, gave her notes whenever she was absent, also took care of her when she felt low, made her smile when she felt homesick and took her out from depression whenever Myra felt stuck in life.
Their friendship was true in all senses. This is what happens when two givers become friends.
It was the last year of MBBS. They both were doing their internship. These days they were being posted to ObGynae wards.
Shreya really enjoyed these postings as she used to get to hold newborn babies in her hands. She really liked playing with babies. Before this she was posted to Pediatrics, there also she enjoyed a lot.
Becoming a doctor was Shreya's childhood dream and it was about to come true in few months when she will finally get the tag of Dr before her name. But obviously, the journey does not end here.
She has to do post-graduation too, While many of her school friends had already completed their PG courses, she was doing under-graduation. After all, it is not all bed and roses in becoming a doctor.
"Hey Juhi ma'am is calling." Myra said as she applied sunscreen in front of the mirror hanging in their room.
"What!! But there is still time."
Myra picked up the call and immediately hanged up. "Shreya we have to go now. There's an emergency." She said with a straight face. They quickly wrapped up their stuff, wore their white coats and left from the hostel.
In the evening, they came back at around 5pm all tired and almost lifeless. Myra dug into the bed as soon as they entered their room. Shreya also sat on her bed and rested her head on the wall.
"It will be worth it." They both said together following the daily ritual as they recalled the hustle of the day. They were assisting different surgeries and were exhausted as they could not even eat lunch.
After five hours
"Myra get up, let us eat something yaar. How long will you sleep?" Shreya said waking up Myra who was in deep slumber.
Shreya also slept for some time to recharge herself as they both had a 30 hours shift starting from 2am tonight.
Myra woke up and they both went to the canteen. They were eating their food when Shreya received a call.
Without looking at the phone she picked up the call as she thought it will be of her mother like usual days. "Hey Shreya, remember, me?" A girl asked from other side.
Shreya entered the alert mode as she was sleepy until now. She looked at her phone and smiled.
"Of course Shrida, how will I forget you? What's up? Huh?" She said as her number was saved.
12 years may seem a long time but as you say, time goes like wind with true friends.
Shreya and Shrida were in contact with each other in all these years. Although they could not talk much as Shreya was busy in her medical degree and Shrida in her engineering degree but they definitely called each other at least once a month.
Last month, when Shreya called her, she didn't pick up the call. Shreya even tried later but could not connect with her.
"I am fine and hope you are as well. Sorry yaar I could not connect last month as I was busy in the arrangements at my home."
"Arrangements?"
"Yeah bro. Your girl is getting married. Take this as an invitation call." Shrida said giggling at the end.
"OMG Shrida Congrats yaar Best wishes to you both. Well I don't know the groom-to-be. But it's okay, will meet him at your wedding directly."
Shreya said. Myra was looking at Shreya talking. As soon as she heard the word 'groom' she jumped and hugged Shreya with one hand while cupping her mouth with the other as she controlled herself from vomiting some words.
Shreya got confused at her behavior. She just lightly pushed her in annoyance.
"No bro not happening. You are not allowed to enter if you are coming at wedding directly.
You have to join every function. The wedding is anyways after five months. Your internship will also be done by then. So Dr Sahiba take a little long break and join us. There will be other students from our school too.
Now no ifs and buts. I am sending you the invitation card. I really want you to come with your entire family but if not then at least bring your friend. I would love to meet her having heard a lot about her from you."
Shreya wanted to reply but her mind got stuck at 'there will be students from our school too' as she remembered the 'teacher's favorite boy'.
"Shreya, hello. Are you on the line?" Shrida asked.
"Uhh yeah I am here. Now what could I say after the queen of convincing people. Fine, I will come and bring this idiot with me too." She said slapping Myra slightly on her cheek.
"Okay then take care. Eat well. Sleep well. Byeeeeeee" Shrida said and hanged up.
As soon as Myra saw the call getting disconnected, she started her long blabbering session.
"Oh Shreya who is the groom? And marriage when? When did you meet him? Mujhe toh nahi bataya... Okay leave that when we have to go to your house. Yaar I am so excited for your wedding."
(You didn't tell me)
Shreya was so done of her drama. She stuffed a huge slice of papaya into Myra's mouth.
"I don't call you an idiot for nothing. You actually are an idiot. It's not my wedding. It's Shrida's wedding. After five months. In her hometown Odisha. You are coming with me. More details in invitation card."
Shreya said as a speech.
This time Myra stuffed a huge slice of papaya in Shreya's mouth and said "Okay but only if you complete all my demands. One you will not scold me there. Two you will allow me to flirt with your guy friends. Three you will take me for shopping. Four....."
"Bus karde" Shreya stopped her in the middle. "Filhal wapas chale? I wanna rest a little more before we again get back to service."
(Stop already)
(For now can we go back?)
Myra laughed seeing Shreya's annoying face. Later Shreya also laughed remembering Myra's stuffed mouth look.
They returned to the hostel. Myra again slept but Shreya was lost in her thoughts.
In all these years, it was not only Shrida who was with her. Vedant was also with her-in her mind.
She tried to forget him but it's obvious as much as you try to forget someone, your brain keeps remembering. It was not that she expected to meet him again or wanted to confess him what she felt all these years.
But it was true that she did not feel the same for any other guy she met in all these years. She had kept this loyalty but she herself was not sure of what she actually felt for Vedant.
It was in twelfth when she first saw him in her dream and the strings of her minds were entangled. Then she often saw him in her dreams.
She remembers once she had a dream of him getting hurt in it and she cried for straight one hour after waking up as if she would actually lose him, him who was not even hers.
Somewhere she knew it was love, but she did not want to accept this as it was wrong to be stuck on someone whom you met such long time ago and probably will never meet.
She had dumped all her feelings few years back thinking it was just teenage rush.
But after talking to Shrida today, she again felt nervous thinking she will meet him after 12 years.
In these years, she did not even saw him in pictures. And now she will directly meet him in person.
"Is this a sign?" Her inner conscience asked.
Ignoring all these thoughts, she looked at her phone. It was almost 1:30 am. She quickly woke up Myra and they both left for the hospital.
