Arjun: (politely yet professional) "May I know your name first, Dr....?"

Ishita: (smiling) "It's Ishita, Dr. Ishita."

She then turned to one of the interns and calmly issued instructions.

Ishita: "Intern no. 4, bring the stitches kit and a forceps."

Ekansh, who had been quietly observing Ishita's movements in the room, couldn't help but chuckle internally as she referred to one of the interns as "no. 4." Her professionalism and confidence were impressive.

However, Ekansh's thoughts were interrupted when Ishita made an unexpected proposal.

Ishita asked politely but direct "Mr. Ekansh, if you don't mind, can he perform the stitches on you? she pointed towards her intern. I will take full responsibility for the procedure. I'm confident he won't make any wrong moves; he's quite professional."

Ekansh nodded in agreement, surprising Arjun, found himself utterly surprised by the sudden turn of events. He couldn't help but be tickled by the irony of the situation. Just moments ago, he had been demanding the best, and now, Ekansh was nodding along to Ishita's every request like a "dancing doll."

Arjun's eyes widened in amusement, and he had to bite back a chuckle. He exchanged a comical, quizzical look with Ekansh, as if to say, "What just happened?" but Ekansh being Ekansh royally ignored his look. It was a rare sight to see Ekansh so agreeable and accommodating, and Arjun couldn't help but find it amusing and surprising.

He couldn't shake the feeling that something had indeed gone a bit topsy-turvy since Ishita had entered the picture, and he couldn't wait to see how this intriguing scenario would unfold. Arjun was now caught between his duties as Ekansh's bodyguard and the unfolding dynamics in the room, and it left him both amused and bemused, like a spectator at an unexpected show. 

As the intern with wobbly legs sat on the stool and began the procedure, his nerves were evident, and he flashed an upside-down smile to Ishita.

 Ishita, standing close to Ekansh, encouraged the intern with her eyes, silently urging him to proceed confidently. The intern, determined but still shaky, started to clean the wound, delicately extracting pieces of glass from Ekansh's injured hand. Ishita, closely observing the procedure, couldn't help but feel a tight hold on her white coat.

 She glanced down and saw a rough, veiny hand grasping her coat, and her lips curved into a subtle smile. In that moment, she couldn't help but find Ekansh endearing, like a child who didn't want others to know he was in pain. It was as if she had uncovered a softer, more vulnerable side to the enigmatic man before her. Ishita's actions continued to surprise Ekansh, her next move leaving him both amused and intrigued. 

As she held Ekansh's hand, her fingers gently rubbing the back of his hand, it was as if she was silently reassuring him that everything was alright. Ekansh, a man known for his stoicism and composure, found himself strangely affected by Ishita's touch. Shivers coursed down his spine with each tender caress of her fingers on his hand. Their eyes remained locked, and in that intimate moment, words became unnecessary. It was as if the world had faded away, leaving only the two of them, connected by a silent, unspoken bond. Ekansh, a man of few emotions, couldn't help but feel a rush of warmth and vulnerability in Ishita's presence. The hospital room seemed to transform into a cocoon of intimacy, where Ekansh and Ishita shared an unspoken connection that transcended the clinical surroundings. It was a moment that left Ekansh amused, intrigued, and, perhaps for the first time in a long while, genuinely captivated by the presence of another person.

The lovey-dovey silent moment shared between Ekansh and Ishita was abruptly disturbed by the beaming intern, who cheerfully exclaimed, "Look, Dr. Ishita, I did it! Yay!" Ishita, her focus shifting, couldn't help but chuckle at the intern's enthusiasm. She gently patted his head, as one would do with a cute puppy, and praised his efforts.

Ishita: (smiling) "Great job! "Then, turning her attention to Arjun, she discussed the medication and checkup schedule for the removal of the stitches, her professionalism back in full force. Meanwhile, Ekansh remained in his own world, still captivated by the previous moments he had shared with Ishita. However, just as Ishita was about to leave the room, the door swung open, and her bestie cum sister, Chavi, burst in with Dr. Shubhash. 

Chavi immediately hugged Ishita tightly, her excitement palpable. Chavi: (enthusiastically) "Ishu, Ishu! You won't believe it! IU and Jong Suk are datinggg!"The unexpected news made Ishita forget about her surroundings. Her face lit up with joy, and she began to do her happy dance, completely immersed in the thrilling revelation, leaving Ekansh and everyone else in the room bemused and amused by her infectious enthusiasm. 

 Ekansh Pov 

As Ekansh observed Ishita in that moment, his heart couldn't help but swell with a sense of adoration and romantic appreciation. He watched her with an adoring gaze, completely captivated by the sight before him.

Her dance, though seemingly carefree and playful, held a unique charm that touched his soul. With each cute and graceful movement of her hands and the subtle swaying of her hips, Ishita seemed to create an enchanting aura around her.

To Ekansh, it felt as though time had slowed down, and he was entranced by the solace of peace that her dance brought. In her every twist and turn, he found a sense of serenity, a feeling of being drawn into a world where everything else faded away, and only Ishita remained.

Dr. Shubhash' jovial comment finally broke Ekansh's thoughts, Dr. Shubhash: (laughing) "Who will handle you, Ishita? You are so dramatic!"

 Ekansh, lowkey and almost under his breath, whispered, "Me." 

This unexpected response immediately caught Arjun's attention. He snapped his head towards Ekansh, his eyebrows raised in surprise. "Huh?". 

Ekansh, momentarily pulled out of his daydream-like state, blinked and replied, "What?"

Arjun, sporting a sly smile, decided to play along "Nothing. "The room was filled with a playful atmosphere when Dr. Shubhash quickly apologized "Sorry, Hukum Sa, as you witnessed our Dr.'s happy dance. We are extremely sorry."

A sudden blush covered Ishita's face as she was embarrassed by the attention. She bowed her head, then quickly made her exit from the room, accompanied by Chavi. Ekansh, still smiling, watched as Ishita and her friend left. He couldn't help but find her cute little antics endearing.

As Ekansh and Arjun were preparing to leave the room, Ekansh's phone suddenly began to ring. The name "Dada Sa" illuminated the screen, reminding him of the evening conversation he had planned with his grandfather. After a conversation with his grandfather.

Ekansh: "Arjun, change of plans. Take me directly to Chaudhary Mansion. "Arjun nodded in acknowledgment and adjusted their course. 

As the car carrying Ekansh sped towards Chaudhary Mansion, he found himself lost in thoughts of Ishita. Her presence had left an indelible mark on his day, her charisma and confidence intriguing him in a way that he couldn't quite explain. It was a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time, and he couldn't deny that something about her had left an impression on him, making him look forward to whatever the future might hold.

Arjun's playful choice of song, "Kaise Hua" by Vishal Mishra, momentarily brought Ekansh out of his daydream-like state. Ekansh shot a sharp glance at Arjun, a silent protest for interrupting his thoughts. However, as the lyrics of the song played on, Ekansh found himself once again drifting into thoughts of Ishita.The music and lyrics seemed to resonate with his feelings, and he couldn't help but smile, his mind returning to the moments he had shared with Ishita earlier in the day. Arjun's playful interruption had inadvertently rekindled Ekansh's thoughts of the enchanting doctor who had left a lasting impression on him.As the song continued to play, Ekansh allowed himself to immerse in the memories of his Ishita, feeling a sense of warmth and contentment wash over him.
