Trin....trin... doorbell noise echo, as house was so peaceful today...

Nitya came home very late last night after attending her rehearsals. She told her cook not to come early today as she wanted to take rest because it was Sunday and she had holiday on that day.

Or else by this time Nitya is either instructing her cook Surekha for some or the other thing Or there is a noise of music and her dancing practice along with that . She was totally dependent on Surekha for all small things. Surekha was not just a cook but Nitya's assistant and friend in each and every thing at home . 

Dr. Nitya was serving as Indian Army doctor. She was posted in Delhi and basically she was from Trivandram. She decided to serve for Army. She was a surgeon and wanted to make use of her expertise for real heroes of our country, though she knew that her job will be transferable.


Though Nitya was modern in her living and appearance style but she was dedicated professional . She was raised in a typical south Indian brahmin family , So she was a trained classical dancer and had liking for classical music too.

Nitya was youngest in her family. Her parents were quite traditional but they had given freedom to their children to choose their profession. Nitya had one elder sister, who got married after her graduation and settled in Chennai. Nitya's elder brother was an engineer and was working abroad.

In Delhi Nitya was staying in service quarter, which was quite big and in a peaceful surrounding. Her duties were for longer hours and with no fix timings if she has to do some surgery. 


As army staff from all over northern regions were admitted to Delhi if they have some complications and if treatment at local army hospital was not possible. If someone is injured and needed immediate operation then Nitya had to sometimes travel to places like Jammu, Leh, Laddakh alongwith other army doctors.

Though Nitya was fond of South Indian food but she used to not find time to cook everyday. Sometimes Nitya's mother used to come and stay with her for few days. At that time her mother used to make all dishes of Nitya's likings. Also on weekends Nitya used to invite her colleague doctors for dinner and that was the way for some socialising for her mother .


Few young doctors were in Nitya's team who were single and bachelor so her mother used to enjoy talking to them from the view point of search for a groom for Nitya, which Nitya used to hate...and she used to say, " amma please I am not going to get married so soon I am just 27 yrs. now. I am dedicated to my services. ".

One Dr. Chaitanya prasad Rao, who was unmarried and was from Andhra brahmin family,  was favourite amongst all for Nitya's mother. She used to tell him to look after Nitya. Dr Chaitanya used to not require any invitation for dinner when Nitya's mother is there. He used to go anyday, have a chat, have dinner at Nitya's place.


Nitya's whatsapp status was showing seen at 23:00 yesterday, and now it was next day morning, though Sunday but Chaitanya was worried about Nitya because last night after rehearsal dr Chaitanya told her not to go alone, he said he will come to drop her home. But Nitya went home alone on her two wheeler. And she didn't see her whatsapp messages, nor she attended any call. So that doorbell noise was because Dr. Chaitanya was trying to know about her. 


After few minutes Nitya got up and saw missed calls on her phone. She was having coffee at around 12.30 pm and heard doorbell. She was surprised as she told Surekha not to come till she call her , then who is it ???? She opened door with some anger and saw Dr. Chaitanya was standing there. He came inside and asked Nitya with bit shouting and care in his voice, " what happened ? Why you are not answering calls, you are not on whatsapp since last night. In morning I came and you didn't open the door, are you alright ? "

So Dr. Nitya said, " so many questions ???.Yes I am alright. Yesterday after coming back from rehearsals I was very tired, and as such today is holiday so didn't get up early. I told Surekha not to come early, but why you are worried about me ? I am not a young girl of 20-21 yrs. I can take care of myself. " Chaitanya used to never feel bad because he had liking for Dr. Nitya.


Then dr Nitya go to kitchen and get one cup coffee for Dr. Chaitanya. He surprisingly look at her as though is this a time for coffee ??? but then he take it. So did you have your lunch ? Nitya ask him, he just say , " No, but I have a plan. Our favourite restaurant has started home delivery service now so can I order lunch for two ? Nitya had no objection as such but she had plans to call Surekha now but then she says fine Surekha will help me in some other work.


After two days she had to perform her Bharatnatyam solo dance in Army day function. In Delhi she was going to perform for the first time that too in presence of all senior officials and colleagues. So she had to compile all her attire, ornaments, make up kit etc so she knew Surekha will help her in that. Rehearsals were almost finished. Dr. Chaitanya was going to sing a hindi movie song.

On Army day evening function started at 8 pm. Nitya's performance was on 1st number as she was going to perform " Ganesh Vandana.." Chaitanya come to Nitya to wish her good luck. She was looking very prity. Chaitanya wish her good luck and compliment her saying, " you are looking so beautiful and gorgeous in this costume and with all your ornaments. " This gives Nitya more confidence. 

Dr. Nitya perform very gracefully and with confidence. She get lot many applause and praise from all. While she was performing, Chaitanya was busy capturing her " Mudras " and "steps " with his mobile camera by video recording. Dr. Chaitanya also sing a song very well. Even others perform their talents. And program gets over at 12:30 or so. 


That night Dr Nitya wanted that Dr. Chaitanya come to drop her home. And yes he was ready with his bike and was wearing his helmet when he saw dr Nitya is searching for him. He came near to her and said, " yes Dr. Nitya can we go now ???? I will drop you home and will leave as I have early morning duty tomorrow. " So Nitya slowly sit on back seat by taking support of Dr Chaitanya' s shoulder, which was a nice surprise for him.

After he drop Nitya at her home and was standing there till she open the door and go inside, Nitya come back almost running and give a warm friendly hug to Dr. Chaitanya.again a big surprise for him. Nitya said  ,  "thanks for always being there as my support and cheer me up, when my mom and other family members are not with me. though I realised this very late. " Chaitanya just smile and say, " good night.see you tomorrow."
