Long ago, A name blinked in chat room and Raj messaged to the person- “hi,its Raj,25/m/Hyderabad wanna chat”. Another side responded ya sure. 23/f. Her name was Swathi. After few conversation in same box, She told Raj that she is not interested to talk, as Raj is scorpion and she hate scorpions. But almost daily Raj used to end same message to her and finally she accepted his friendship proposal. Things were going on as general talks. Raj a MD student of pediatrics after long days in OPD, OT and in class room, use to login in his messenger in the night. Swathi a Teacher of computers and Masters in IT, was also having almost same routine. But both of them never talked much. It used to be five to ten minute chat conversations on how are you and how was the day.

One day, Swathi told Raj that she is searching job in a call center in Hyderabad. Raj was having some good friends in Call centers, so he told her to send her biodata to him. Both exchanged their contact numbers. In late night Raj got call from Swathi. They talked for two three minutes again it was general talk. But from here started the relation of messages. They used to message each other in the night for hours. Sometime they use to get little bit naughty. But during all this conversations, two things were clear to both of them that Raj is not a emotional guy, Career is important to him and he is not at all in search of any girl friend or life partner. Swathi was sensetive girl she thought that Raj is perfect guy for her life. A doctor, a sensible and caring person, thats why whenever Raj used to say that Swathi its a virtual relation, dont get emotional and be just friend. The next answer of Swathi used to be “ Raj, if you do not want to sms, dont send, but dont say like this all the time. i am mature and i understand this thing.” But actually the only thing in her mind was that she is beautiful and so if she can carry this relation for some more time. May be Raj will be ready to move further.

Once she visited Hyderabad, both of them met in Coffee day. Swathi found Raj as a simple and intelligent person. For Raj, Swathi was extremely beautiful, 5.4” height, approximate 50 Kg weight, fair complexion and short hairs, sweet girl. Raj was never inclined to girls for physical relations. They decided to go for movie, During Movie Swathi was sitting by keeping her head on Raj's chest and hands in his hand. Her mind was thinking, may be he will propose me, For Raj three hours were unbearable with fear that nobody see them. By removing her from chest, he don't want to hurt her. After three hours Raj took his first breath of relax.

Raj wants that Swathi should go as soon as possible as he is feeling her hotness in his body. He was sweating in chilled november. Swathi asked him to show his house. He answered that someother time as house is dirty. She told that she is having three- four hours, she can help Raj in cleaning house. she want to stay as much as possible with Raj but she was not having any bad intention in her mind, she was pure from heart. Raj was also a decent guy, he never want any nasty relationship. Raj went to fresh room, put some water on his face and decided that he will do whaatever she like. But nothing nasty. Both went to his apartment.

Swathi found that apartment was small of just two rooms, but very neat and cleaned with everything properly managed and arranged. She understood that Raj was not keen to take her to his house. Initially it hurt her but later she realized may be reason is that he may be thinking of loosing control. Both of them found each other really decent and mature. He made coffee to her and she decided to make Pakoras for them. Every thing was there. They spent three hours like seconds in just standing way in kitchen, talking with each other, eating and listning songs on CD player. Later Raj dropped her to the bus stop. Both were quite relaxed and happy. both of them never expected such beautiful meeting.

After two days, in the morning Raj got call from Swathi. Both were talking. Raj seems to be too
tired. When Swathi asked he answered that last night he was busy in operation theater for long time. Raj was unhappy with his daily routine, daily apartment to department and then back here. Swathi told Raj not to worry as it is his job and this he will be doing in all his life. Raj told Swathi that its not like this, he is in India for just nine more months, after that he is going to USA for job. It was shocking to Swathi, she dropped the phone. 8.55 am, Raj should reach his department by nine, so without sending her any message or thinking of her condition, he quickly moved towards his garage.

In car, he was thinking, why she dropped the phone, Her mom was there or someone else. suddenly he

got message- “Hi Raj, Better to get separated now”

“Ok” Raj send the message and moved to OPD to see patients. He was busy till till afternoon, and today he was having duty in emergency ward in afternoon.

After taking quick lunch, he reached to emergency ward. like always everywhere people are moving here and there, some crushed heads, some feverish kids and some bleeding bodies. suddenly he feel that a new entry in the ward is someone known. He was shocked to see that it was Swathi, lying on stretcher, a old man , one young guy were entrying inside with her and lady with lot of tears were standing outside the ward and crying. Raj quickly moved towards them and ask the reason, they answered she took posion and carrying some known rat killing tablets. Raj told them not to worry and started doing treatment and giving antidot against the molecule known to be present in these tablets.

Raj and two of his colleagues worked hard and did all possible work on her. Next 24 hours were crucial for her. Raj spent whole 24 hours there only with her. He was thinking whole night what was his mistake. Her father and mother was thanking him a lot for his sincerety. But they do not know that may be their daughter took posion because of his one word “ OK”. without thinking anything else

Raj gave one week leave application to head and moved out. He left his cell phone in his apartment switched off. Took cloths, shaving kit, some snacks item and went for long drive. In night he reached Tirupati, stayed there for seven days, just alone, without speaking any word to anyone, used to take just one time food in nearby dhaba.

Reached back to apartment switched on the phone. same message was coming again and again thanks Dr Raj , Thanks Dr Raj, Thanks Dr Raj.

Next day was a new day for Raj,

For Swathi, when she come to know from other doctor that the doctor who was taking care of her and left was Raj, she thought a lot and just took her phone and messaged -Thanks Dr Raj,

After 10 days, no message from any side. Again in chat room, new name come and he messaged, 26/m/Hyderabad wanna chat.
