STORIZEN CONTRIBUTE
PART 3
walked confidently
through the hospital to
the first floor which
housed the special
rooms, making me
wonder if this was not
his first visit after all,
and that he had
already won all the
brownie points I had
been coveting for.
Feeling disappointed,
I just followed him.
Anamika sat on the
hospital bed, watching
a small TV in front of
her, a monitor
attached to her finger
shouting beep beep
and her right foot in a
plaster.
She looked at both of
us simultaneously,
and her gaze fixed on
him first as she gave
him a wide smile.

I felt a pang of
jealousy. I was fighting
a losing battle.
To my further dismay,
Mr. Nasty approached
her and kissed her
forehead.
“How is your leg now?”
he asked.
And as I stood there,
wondering if she had
even noticed me and if
she should leave, I
heard the incredible
words I had never
expected her to say.
“It's better Bro”
Bro???
He was her
brother???????
I could have danced
with joy then and there.
I was probably doing a
mental merry jig when I
realized both were
staring at me. Did I
really dance now?
“I said hello,
daydreamer”, Anamika
said and smiled.
“How are you now?”I
asked her.
“ I am good, better
than yesterday” she
smiled that cute
dimpled smile. I was
aware of Mr. Nasty’s
gaze fixed on me,
which prevented my
face from showing any
exaggerated reaction.
Then came an
awkward moment
where both of them
were staring at me
while I was alternating
between looking at
either of them.
Finally Mr. Nasty
cleared his throat.
“I will have a word with
the doc”.
