Siya point of view...........

I am Siya Khurana

Age: 23

Business manager

I am sitting with Bella, my best friend after Deeps. I mean Deepshikha. It's been three years now but I still remember her and I still miss the way we used to enjoy and everything was great when I was in India but then I moved on here in Los Angeles to live with my parents and yes I got the job offer too.

Coming back right now I am sitting with Bella watching Jumanji the next level while eating some snacks. I just love adventure movies.

Suddenly my phone started ringing and saw the caller ID and answered

' Hi Mom'

' Hey Siya , where are you right now?" she answered no she asked worried

' I am with Bella. What happened you sound worried ' I asked

'Siya we expect you as soon as possible to our hospital Dadu had a stroke. ' After hearing this my phone slipped from my hand but I managed to get it.

I could not believe what I just heard. Yes it's the second time he got a stroke but still I can not bear to lose him. He is my everything.

I came out and sat in my car and drove towards my parent's hospital and yeah I know it's not my parent's but my father is a Cardiologist and mother is a Psychiatrist there.

As soon as I reached the hospital I quickly rushed towards the Operation Theatre on the fourth floor as I knew my grandfather would be in my father's custody.

I reached there and saw my mother who was expressionless. I got there and sat beside her and asked

'Mom what happened ? '

'Grandfather came here for check up and suddenly had a stroke, thank God he was here so the case is not that complicated for us' Mom answered calmly and I sighed.

I couldn't believe how she manages to stay calm. Really it's not my cup of tea to stay calm and behave like nothing happened.

Suddenly red light turn off and dad came out as soon as I saw I just rushed towards him to ask about the condition but before I ask

' Mr. Mehra is fine now but not totally okay. He have some blockages which cannot be cleared.' he answered

I sighed and went to meet Grandfather who was still unconscious.

A smile appeared on my lips when I saw him tension free. He looks like a child at the age of 76. His face is covered with some wrinkles but still has a glow. He is very particular about his diet and many dishes he is not at all allowed to eat because of his heart problems.

I sat there holding his hand thinking about the days we spent together. Then suddenly Mom came and my eyes fell on her

' Siya , we informed Rythem he is on the way' she said

I just hummed in response

I know now you have a question in your mind and that is who is Rythem?

Hello dears....

I am new here. If you wish you can like the book and also comment. Follow me for more.

Siya point of view.....

Who is Rythem???????

Well he is the Grand son of Mr. Anant Mehra, our patient. Oh no, don't think that he is my brother. Actually, I am not the granddaughter of Mr. Mehra.

When my father entered the medical profession , Mr. Mehra was my father's guide as they met at an event in Chicago.

He is not my grandfather but still he is more than that for me. I do not remember when I last shared my feelings with my parents because Dadu (grandfather in Hindi) was always there for me when I really needed someone to guide me.

So he is my guide too....

He was the one who supported me every time I fell.

So coming back here to the hospital.....

Mom came to me and said " Siya you go home it's already 10 pm. You can come tomorrow after work."

'No Mom, I'm not going anywhere I want to live here I just want to stay here with Dadu' I said with a pleading look. I honestly do not want to go. I know my parents are enough to take care of him but what to do with this emotional bonding!

Then suddenly the door opened and my Dad entered the room.

He kept his right hand on my head and said

' Dear we know very well that you wanna stay here but baby your company is working on a very important project and don't forget you are the manager so it's very important for you to be there. We will be here' . My father knows very well that I can't deny him because I love him very much.

I just nodded and hugged my parents. Then I kissed Dadu's hand.

I came out of hospital when I heard my phone ring

'Hey! ' I answered

' No Hi to you... Where are you? You didn't even bother to say a bye to me before leaving my house' . Bella scolded from the side and I bit my tongue.

' Bella I am so sorry dear actually I am in the hospital right now' I said in a casual tone.

' Oh.. what happened is everything alright??'' she asked concerned

" Yeah Dadu had a stroke. He is fine right now" I answered

' okay take care of him' she said

' yeah!' I said and hung up.

I came home and dragged myself to my bed . Damn I am so tired , I do not even have my dinner...

Next morning..

I woke up and saw the clock it's 5:30 am. Yeah I am an early riser. I was still on my bed just thinking about the day when I will wake up in the arms of my dream boy and our day will start after kissing each other. I jump out of my bed and change my clothes into a sports bra and joggers. I took my bottle and headed towards the gym.

It's just 5 Min away from my house . I usually jog on the way to the gym .

When I reached there I saw my personal trainer Kizie waiting for me.

'" Good morning" she greeted me as soon as she saw me.

" Very good morning Kizie" I too greeted covering my face with a fake smile .

We started working out with Some Pushes and Stretchings . Kizie excused herself when she got a call from someone.

I again started dreaming.... " Me with my dream boy in the gym doing exercises..... " But not so long as Kizie came and said that something has come up so she has to go.. I just nodded and continued my exercises.

I came home and saw Mom in the kitchen

"What are you doing here, go and take some rest and I will cook today'' I said childishly.

" No it's alright you have to go to work so get ready for it. However I am on leave today" Mom said, still busy at work ...

" No Mom, you go and rest. I will take care of myself, however I have much time and my office starts at 10 and it's just 7: 30 right now," I said, pushing her out of the kitchen.

She laughed and went to her room.

Unexpected Meeting..

Siya point of view..

I came back from my office and changed into a red top which showed my curves and a white jeans. I grabbed my phone and headed towards my car.

I am just worried about Dadu. Dad told me that Grandfather is getting discharged as his Grand son is taking him home so before they leave I have to reach there.

Rythem point of view...

Yesterday Rahul's uncle informed me about Dadu and I felt like everything was getting snatched away from me. I have no one in my life except my Dadu. I am really feeling guilty that I was not with him all these days when he needed me the most.

I arrived here in the hospital at 9 am today. I am a little relaxed as Dadu is doing better now...

I came out of the room and leaned against the wall holding my phone in my left hand and right hand in my pocket as usual. I saw Mrs. Khurana approaching me with a coffee.

" Hi Rythem... How are you? " She asked in a sweet voice. I met her even before. My daughter and I studied in the same school and college. She is just like a little sister to me. She must be twenty now.

" I am good, Aunt . I hope the formalities should be completed as soon as possible so that I can take Dadu home" I replied while hoping for the best.

She nodded and smiled. She took her steps towards the room.

Nurse came with some files. I checked the time and it was 4: 15 pm. Since this morning I have been here but talked very less with Dadu because of my calls related to work.

I kept the phone in pocket and received the documents from her as they needed some of my signatures. I read the file and without signing it I handed it over to her . She was shocked. Why am I doing this..... I told her to open the file and she did . I took out my pen from my chest pocket and signed the papers. Again she was shocked" why this person is signing from the left hand and why he is not taking out his right hand from the pocket. " I realised her shock and just smirked at her. She just mumbled a Thank you and vanished in the corridor.

I attached my Bluetooth to my ear and headed towards the canteen. As the canteen was on the ground floor I hit the' G' button in the lift.

Ding!

Elevator door opened and as I exited from the elevator something dumped on me.

' Hell what's that? " I said, raising my head.

I saw a very beautiful girl glaring at me . I did not see her glare. Instead I was busy checking her out. She wore a red body hug top with we white jeans. Her long brown hair was in a ponytail leaving a few strands. Her pink lips were tempting. I really forgot each and every thing when I saw her . My eyes were still fixed on her lips when I felt someone shaking me.

I somehow gained my conscious back and heard

" I hope if your checking out is finished then help me get my things collected" she said pointing towards the floor.

I saw that medicines along with some nutrition products were lying on the floor.

" Miss.. whatever your name is, just listen I am not checking you out and even you are of my type to do so" I lied.

" And yes, collect your things yourself because it was your mistake. " I said coldly and walked towards the canteen.

Siya point of view....

I gathered my things and got inside the elevator. I leaned against the wall and hit 6 as Dadu had been shifted to the 6th floor. I was carrying some bags of medicine and nutritions. I was thinking about that rascal whom I just bumped into...

He was killing the women around him because of his looks. His brown eyes , messy brown hair , one hand in pocket and the other was holding a phone. He was looking handsome in a blue coat.

Yeah I agree he is handsome but I don't like him because he is so rude.

I reached the floor and handovered the things to Mom. I went to Dada who was Smiling at me

" Don't worry Siya I am alright you can see" he said with a smile.

" But take care and take your medicine on time" I said sitting on the chair beside the bed.

" Okay but only when you come to my house tomorrow," he said, acting like a child.

`` Dadu, I will definitely come there if you remember." I said while holding his hand.

He smiled widely and then my phone rang. I saw Deeps ID and excused myself not before kissing Dadu's hand.

I came out and talked to Deeps. She wants me to visit India which I am avoiding. I hung up with a sigh.

_____

I was sitting on the sofa outside the room browsing my phone when I sensed someone staring at me.

I looked up at a saw which I never expected.... Here stands Mr. Rude. His hands shoved in pocket and leaned against the wall.

Like the book and follow dears...

Rythem point of view.....

I drank my coffee and again headed towards the 6th floor. The elevator door opened and I came towards the room.

But I was surprised to see that Miss. Beautiful is here busy on the phone. Damn I cannot keep my eyes away from her. It's the first time that Rhyme Mehra is attracted to someone. I stood there leaning against the wall for near about 5 Min when she raised her head.

Her perfect black eyes were giving a sign of confusion. Well I too was confused why she is here?... I kept staring at her and she did the same when we heard Mr. Khurana. I looked at him.

" Hey! Rythem Congrats... Every formality is completed now you can take your Dadu home" he saw looking at the files in his hand.

" Yeah thank you so much Mr. Khurana," I said with a smile.

" Son but take care of him, he is not totally okay. The blockages are still there in his heart so take care of him." He said with a serious look.

I just nodded and kept my phone back in the pocket to hold the file. I felt her gaze on me but I avoided looking at her.

Dadu got discharged and came home along with me.

I made sure that he should only rest . I told Zack to take care of him and head towards my office.

Next morning

Siya point of view....

I am feeling very happy right now and I am going to meet Dadu. It's not the first time I came here but maybe it's not more than my fifth time. I am wearing a pink floral jumpsuit with my heels.

I saw the house from outside. Actually I have seen this 4 floor building from outside but I clearly do not know the interior as Dadu and just hang out in parks.

I came inside and saw Zack. I know he always takes care of Dadu in the absence of Mr. Rude who comes here twice a month but I never got the opportunity to meet him.

I asked Zack about Dadu and he led me towards Dadu's room .

"Hey Dadu good morning" I said, trying to act cherished.

" Good morning Champion," he said while getting up from bed.

" So what's your plan for today? " I asked while sitting on the chair.

" Let's just walk in the garden as I have restrictions from going out," Dadu said sadly and I laughed.

" Dadu, you never showed me your house, at least show me your garden... Let's go and have fun" I said, trying to regain his smile.

He told Zack to call Rythem in the garden and we headed towards the garden.

While we were walking I sensed someone approaching us. I turned and saw Mr. Rude came toward us one hand in his black pants pocket while the other hand was arranging his suit. He came and halted a few steps away from us. Someone just saved me from his intense gaze.

He is breathtaking and it's hard not to stare at him. His brown eyes are captivating.

" Dadu do you need something? " He asked Dadu while staring at me. His voice sent chills down my spine.

" Yes I want you to meet Siya, your Khurana uncle's daughter," Dadu said to him.

" I thought Uncle has only one daughter." He smirked while taking out his hand. "Hi, I am Rythem. Nice meeting you again " he said stretching his left hand towards me which I took and we had a left hand shake.

" I am Siya as Dadu introduce me and nice meeting you too Mr. Rythem" I said formally.

On which he smirked at me again

" Did you both know each other? " Dadu asked, interrupting our thoughts.

" No Dadu just met a couple of times in the hospital," he said while squeezing my hand and I pulled it away.

Then for my luck Mr. Rude's phone rang. He excused himself and went back towards the house.
