- N A T A S H A -

"Mam, you could've drove properly. See, what you got into." Vidushi said and I sighed.

"It's not that I died. I'm alive."

"But you don't look well."

"Not well? I can run faster than you."

"I'm not talking about myself. It's about you."

"I know." I said and saw Ashima walking inside my hospital room.

"Very good. Now you can't even go to your shoot." She said and I mentally patted my back. I always wanted a break from shoots. "And look what you got into." She said and passed her tab to me.

I took it in my hand and saw news about me and my accident. Media really has nothing to do these days!

"For you, it could be a good news. It's the latest gossip going on. Maybe, it would increase my following and I could gain more fans."

"Yes, it's true. Even the stats show it. You already gained millions of followers overnight and your accident has became a trending topic." Ashima said and I nodded.

The so-called popularity!

"Vidushi, can you pass me that glass." I said and she instantly forwarded water to me.

"Do you need us here or should we go back?" Ashima asked.

"You both can go. I'm old enough to take care of myself." I said as they walked out and left my room.

I slowly walked to bathroom and patted my body with a moist cloth. Walking back to my room, I applied light makeup on my face and sat on my bed.

My doctor, my love, entered my room to check my condition. As he was busy in his work, I was busy gazing him. His eyes were so captivating and had the power to hypnotise me. I could look into them all night.

My gaze went towards a female doctor beside him. And strangely, her physique looked a bit similiar.

Anyways.

But she was following him wherever he was going. And it didn't look like the professional work. She was clinging onto him.

I couldn't check her face as she was wearing a mask. She was an irritating clingy woman who moved behind Dhruv, while he had an ice cube face.

I don't know why it felt like a deja vu.

Don't she have any work to do instead of clinging onto him?

My phone rang and I picked it up.

"Natasha! What am I hearing?"

"What?"

"You had an accident! And still there was no need to inform me!"

"Mum, I'm sorry."

"We're coming there to meet you."

"No. I'm fine. I just have small bruises."

"But-"

"There's no need mum. I'm fine. I can even run."

"Okay. But I need to see you over call."

"Okay, just a minute." I said and switched my camera on. "See. I'm very healthy." I said and smiled.

"I can see. Don't go through your useless diets."

"Okay." I said and we talked for an eternity.

While having morning walk in the hospital ground, I looked around and sighed. I took a deep breath and inhaled the fresh air.

Gazing around, I saw the doctor with same physique who was following Dhruv. As she turned around, I saw her bare face. And the land beneath my foot slided seeing her.

She was the same Samaira!

The one whom I hate the most.

The one who always made my life a misery.

The one who always made mistakes but blamed me.

The one whom I hate with my guts.

An unwanted cousin!

I knew that she's a doctor. But when did she come back to India? Why is she working here and flirting with Dhruv all the time?

And the days passed like this- she hitting on him while he having his straight serious face.

Why is she being an adhesive?

Well there's nothing new in this. She always did the same.

Hitting on guys and playing with them.

She had her first kiss at the age of eight.

She lost her virginity at the age of fourteen.

Going to an extent, she once tried to elope when she was just sixteen.

I know it's her choice to do what she wants, but she used boys. She never loved them.

I remember a boy who loved her genuinely but she cheated on him. It's not always men who cheat.

It was her who always made mistakes but threw me in the pit.

And always blaming me for her faults!

We don't even talk to each other as I know it would only create unnecessary fights and she would be shouting like a crazy person.

Not like a crazy person.

She is herself crazy...

♤♡♤♡♤♡

"What would you like to eat?" Ashima asked.

"I told you to go back. You don't need to stay here in hospital."

"I'm not going to ask again. What would you like to eat?"

"Then place my order. Burger and french fries." I said and she glared.

"I'm not joking. And we'll get your discharge papers in a few days." She said and I nodded. Hearing someone's footsteps, I turned my head towards the door and saw Samaira.

"Excuse me, but I'm here to check condition of the patient." Samaira said and Ashima excused herself.

She came in my room to check my condition?

But why?

Am I not a patient of another doctor?

She walked towards me in the slowest pace and sat beside me. She took my left hand in hers to check it and knowingly pressed it hard which pained like hell.

She hasn't even changed a bit, still a crazy minded lady.

"I'm fine doctor, your should go. Your other patients might need you." I smile forcefully.

"No, it's alright. You're a celebrity. I should take care of you first. Right?" She said and kept her hand on my left hand.

"Right." I kept my other hand over hers and dug my nails hardly into her skin. "But you don't need to worry. I'm an adult now. I can take my care on my own. You've already took my care in my school days, now it's my turn." I said sarcastically and smiled. She rolled her eyes and went out.

Ashima came back and raised her brows. "Who is she?"

"Bitch."

"Whom did you call bitch?"

"Not you! That lady is a bitch. She's my unwanted cousin."

"Wait a minute. Is she Shrey's sister?"

"Hmm... But both are miles apart." I said and she sighed.

"No wonder she looks like Mrs Sehgal."

"Yes, she's just like nani. She not only inherited nani's features, but also her nature." (maternal grandmother)

"Did she say something useless?"

"No. I didn't let her speak. And I'm not the old Natasha who would let her do whatever she wants. Don't worry."

"Okay, if you say so." She said and we talked for a bit. As she left, I changed my clothes and walked out, where I saw Dhruv talking with his colleague.

"Hey, Miss actress!" The doctor standing beside Dhruv waved his hand at me.

"Hi." I smiled and walked towards them.

Actually, he did good. Now I don't need to find a reason to talk to Dhruv.

"Hi." I greeted Dhruv and he looked at me.

"Hello." He said and left.

What's with him?

"He has no interest in women." Dhruv's friend, the other doctor said.

"He's interested in men?"

"No. He's just not interest in anyone. Strange right?"

"Hmm."

"By the way, I'm Vikas. Would you like to go on a date with me?"

Here I lost a battle, and he wants to celebrate!

"Sorry, I'm busy." I said and walked back to my room.

♤♡♤♡♤♡

While I was busy in doing yoga, my phone rang and I picked it up immediately.

"Where are you?" Divya asked.

"Missing me?" I joked.

"Very funny! Now tell me where you are?"

"Hospital." I said biting a fruit.

"Hospital? But why? Are you alright?"

"Yeah. I'm alright-"

"Which hospital?"

"The nearest one from your office."

"Alright. I'm coming." She said and hung the call up.

I walked towards my bed and sat comfortably on it. Switching the TV on, I surfed through the channels until Divya arrived.

"What happened and how come you're here?" She asked as soon as she entered my room. I gaze went towards her hands which were filled with bouquets and fruits.

"I'm alright. Just a car accident." I said.

"Just an accident? Are there any facture in your bones?"

"A big mark on my forehead. And just a small facture in ring finger's bone, just a little pain." I said with a smile. "How come you don't know about my accident? It's such a trending news!"

My news is really trending.

"Seriously? You're happy that you're on trending just because of an accident!"

"It's alright. See, my fans are so good. Do you know who my doctor is?" I asked. She stood up and checked the front part of my bed which had my details.

My doctor is Dhruv, the man whom I admire.

"It's a high profile case, so hospital decided him to be my attending doctor. It's that same man I met in your party. He's such a hot guy. I bet if he was an actor, then all the girls would have been drooling over him." I said and she started laughing.

I bet she has gone mad.

"But there's a problem." I said and she nodded her head in 'what'. "There's a doctor who constantly hit on him. She's such a bitch, always finding ways to stick to him. I'll kill her. She'll always be a bitch. She can never change. In childhood she wanted everyone's attention and now too."

I can never forget the things she did to me in childhood.

"You know her?"

"Ofcourse! How can I forget her? Samaira the bitch." I said.

Samaira will always be a bitch!

In the meantime, the door opened and Dhruv entered inside. All the time, I looked at him but he was hell bent on ignoring me.

Why can't he give me a chance?

"Divya. You're here?" Dhruv asked Divya.

They know each other?

Ofcourse.

I saw him for the first time in hospital with Divya.

I met him for the first time in her party.

"Natasha, by any chance do you want to be my sister in law?" She asked as he left.

What?

"He's your brother?" I asked and she nodded. "How come I'm not aware of it? Leave the past. That's a great thing. You can help me!" I grinned.

"I think I won't. That's your own battle, so you've to fight on your own. Wish you luck."

"Alright. I can fight her back. I'm not someone who would sit and cry. Don't worry about me." I said enthusiastically.

I can easily fight her back.

It's not my childhood. I have changed a lot.

"Fight her back? First take care of yourself. Your bones are already broken." She chuckled.

"Okay Mumma!" I whined and she rolled her eyes.
