I off the alarm as it was sounding so loudly near my ear ..
While I am on my bed with one leg on the wall and another on the bed ..
And one hand was behind my head and the other lay on the bed
As I got up ..
My day got started ..
I am a doctor ..
Yesterday night there was a late night shift but still, I have to leave every day morning at 5'0 clock ..
Our is a very small village away from city outskirts
There is only one hospital here ..
And I am one of the 5 doctors working there
I went inside the washroom ...
While Scratching my hip with one hand and rubbing my eyes with the other hand ..
----
I came out of the bath with a towel wrapped around my body ..
I went near my small cupboard and opened the door and wore a blue kurta with legging
And a scarf from another shelf and wore it around my neck ..
I went outside and the breakfast is on the table ..
Not dining table ..
It's a small study table and I converted it into a dining table ..
Every day when I come out of my room
My sister will make sure the breakfast will be ready ..
She is in her high school final year
She came and sat before me ..
She is aarthi ..
Aarthi: you can leave a little late na ..you can late yesterday ..
She asked ..
While I am eating ..
I nodded my head as a no
Nandini: I should leave early ..
I said and drink water
Aarthi: I don't know why you do so much work ..
Although there are doctors ..still
She said irritatedly
Nandini: doctor ...this is not a job aarthi ...it's like a responsibility ..
Someone, some unknown will reach me and leave their most loved person in my hands believing me ..
That I can save them ..
This can never be a job ..
You will understand this only when you become a doctor ..
Leave it...I said with a small smile ..
Aarthi: that's why I will become a doctor and take away all your patients with me ..she said and showed her tongue to me in a playful way ..
Nandini : let's see ..I said and chuckled
Oh, it's getting late ..I said looking at my watch ..
I have to leave ..I said and stood up ..
Aarthi : sis ..listen ..I already asked you before ..
I want to live alone ..she said slowly ..
Nandini: and I already told you ..there is no need for that ..
I said while adjusting my bag
Aarthi: why ..? ..you even left the orphanage in your 18's and now you have a secure job ..
Then why can't I ..
I want to prove to you that I can become like you ..she said standing up in a loud voice ..
This is the same conversation we will have every day..
Yes, I left the orphanage in my 18 's ..
But what struggles I faced after that for living alone ..
Only I know that ..
Although aarthi is not my blood-related sister ..
I adopted her when I reach 20
She is 15 years old then ..
Now she is 19 ..
She wants to live alone ..
I don't have anyone that's why I had to live alone ..
But I am there for her right ..
Why does she have to live alone ..
Prove" ha !? ..
