Nitara was really happy. She took extra efforts to get ready today. She had the biggest crush on her elder brother's best friend since she had remembered. The feelings now were too strong to be called only a crush. She was in love with him.

He was a nephrologist and 5 years older than her. She had no plans of doing science of becoming a doctor but she studied day and night to score good in 10th boards. She opted for science stream. With biology.

Studied hard in 11th and 12th. Studied like a madwoman for NEET and cleared it in her first attempt. Got an admission in the college and hospital where he was a doctor at.

She was in her third year and for the first time in three years of her medical, their class was on a scheduled lecture with him. He was going to be with them throughout the day.

She reached college on time and waited for her friends to join. They finally went to the hospital fo find Yuvan, her first and only love.

He was already waiting for them with another doctor making Nitara frown.

Was he going to hand them over to that doctor instead of taking the lecture on his own. But she relaxed when he said that both of them were going to conduct the lecture.

She panicked again when he started dividing the students between himself and the other doctor. And then a wide smile formed on her face when he took her under his wing.

Her friend was with the other doctor but she wasn't sad. She had Yuvan with her.

"Nitara!"

"Huh?"

She broke out of her Yuvan dreamland and realised that he had been calling her since a long time. She had been staring at him without replying and the others looked at her weirdly.

She tucked her hair behind her ear feeling embarrassed at being caught staring at him like a lovesick puppy.

"Yes sir?"

"Are you okay? Were you listening to what I said?"

She nodded not wanting to look dumb but got mum when he asked her to repeat.

"Wo sir.... samajh nhi aaya concept mujhe."

Yuvan nodded and said.

"Jis jisko bhi samajh nhi aaya college ke baad aa jaana. I'll re-explain."

Everyone nodded and they went back to take the remaining classes and Nitara hit her head with a giggle. What was she doing? He would take her to be mad if he didn't know her since their childhood.

Her last class for the day was going on and a few of her classmatez were planning to go to Yuvan for clearing their concepts. But she wanted to meet him alone.

The class got over and she went to the washroom. An idea struck her and she ran back to her class.

"Guys! Dr. Yuvan aaj doubts clear nhi kr paayenge. He had an urgent case to attend today. He said he'll schedule a class later someday."

She said and everyone looked at her.

"Tujhe kaise pata ye?"

One of the boys asked and she said.

"Raste mai mile the. Bta rhe the."

They nodded and then made their plans accordingly.

Nitara smiled mischievously and skipped to the hospital. She knocked on Yuvan's cabin. Hearing his permission she entered in with a wide grin.

Her excitement just couldn't be controlled anymore. He smiled and then frowned.

"Aur koi nhi aaya? Only you have a doubt?"

She bit her lip and shrugged innocently as if she didn't know.

"Maine puchha but kisi ne kuch kaha hi nhi. So mai aa gyi."

He nodded and asked her to take a seat. She did so very obediently.

He took a seat right in front of her and she forgot everything else.

"So? What doubts do you have?"

She was so lost in his eyes that she didn't reply. Yuvan snapped his fingers in front of her eyes and she snapped back to reality.

"Where are you lost? Doubts batao kya hai?"

She bit her lip embarrassed at being caught the second time in the same day.

"Wo...umm...kuch bhi samajh nhi aaya."

She mumbled with her head lowered and as if this much embarrassment wasn't enough, her empty stomach decided to growl at the very moment. Not very demure.

She closed her eyes and hid her face even more letting her hair fall on her face and cover her embarrassment.

"Nitara? When was the last time you had your food?"

She heard his strict yet concerned voice and she peeked at him through her lashes.

"Kuch puchh rha hu. Lunch nhi laayi thi ghar se?"

"Laayi thi."

She answered and he waited for her to continue.

"Nitin ko call kru or are you telling me the truth?"

She shook her head at her brother's name and said.

"Sach mai laayi thi lekin..."

"Lekin?"

"Lekin raste mai ek bachi thi...bhut bhukki lag rahi thi...usne puchha kuch khaane ko hai toh maine usse apna lunch de dia."

He sighed. He was Nitin's best friend and all his school friends, all of those who knew Nitara, knew how kind hearted and sensitive she was.

"Aur tumne kuch khaaya nhi hoga. Kyunki canteen ka khaana mam ko pasand nhi hai."

She lowered her head again. Nitara had been always an unofficial part of their gang. Nitin was always very protective of her and hence she was always beside him. They never considered her different from their friend's gang. Although she was 5 years younger than all of them.

They knew she couldn't eat junk very much. Sensitive stomach.

He got up from his seat and opened his lunch. He called her to the couch and set his lunch on the table.

"Yaha aao!"

She looked at him and sat beside him quietly.

"Khaana khao."

"Lekin-"

"No! I'm not listening to anything. Eat! Or I'm calling Nitin and telling him what you've done."

"Nhi! Khaa rhi hu. Lekin aapka lunch hai. Aap bhi toh khaao na!"

Yuvan smiled. Nitara and her never ending care for everyone. He nodded and took the first bite knowing she wouldn't eat until he did so.

Nitara blushed after she realised that they were sharing the same food from the same lunch. She'll consider it a lunch date.
