Arjun Reddy Page #9

There's nothing of that sort happening.

What do you mean, nothing of that sort?

Listen, I read that girl's Wikipedia page.

This girl passed out of IIT Ahmedabad.

Her father retired as the Delhi High Court's Chief Justice.

Do you understand? You won't find a better match.Figure something out and settle down.

Don't you understand? If she's ironing yourclothes, she's really into you man..!

I don't like it when people do these things for me.

I would like to do it for people I love.And I felt this way only with Preethi.

Man! That is all over now man! That girl got marriedand left! It's time you got out of that chapter!

How many more day will you goaround crying Preethi,Preethi, Preethi..

If you keep drinking this way everyday,you will die you fool!

When did you come Dad?

Just now.

It's been 5 minutes. Come, sit.

What happened? Your friend hasn'tcome out of that phase, seemingly?

They were a strong couple Dad. Very strong.

It lasted 4 years! It won't getsolved that easily now, will it?

True. Correct.

You know these therapy sessionsfor cancer survivors,right?

There is one of a similar nature called 'Love FailureSupport Group' in Basheerbagh started by some guy.

What he does is he gives youa questionnaire with 10-20 questions.

What would you do if you met thatperson you love in this particular situation?

The participant must choose fromthose options named A,B,C,D,E..

Based on the answers you've selected,

he will assess you, your pain and your situation.

he will assess you, your pain and your situation.

Our Sir topped that exams as well.

He topped that exam as well!

Fine..

That guy called me up and says,Sir, I come across a lot of hundreds of cases everyday

but I have never seen such a case like your friend's.

You please take back your moneyand your friend as well.

So what now?

He has all kinds of habits. All kinds.He brings ladies home at night.

What are you saying?

Yeah! You think I'm joking? It's the truth Dad!

But you know, he doesn't do anything with them..physically. No touching or anything of that sort!

He just sits them down and explainsall kinds of big fancy theories.

And listening to him, these women go home bawling!

Bawling till their faces turn red!

But their cries have no effect on him!He is just carried away in his own trip

I've stopped drinking with himbecause of this very reason!

But you know, their business is running great!

They listen to his stories but they take his money and gohome happily, this guy keeps telling them more stories..

You know, for anybody else, speaking their heart outlike this helps them out emotionally, but in his case,

it just aggravates him!

Okay

And when it's time for festivals, like Krishnashtami,Dussehra, anything..Bonalu or whatever,

all these women get decked upand turn up at his place like one big tribe!

And they feed him biryani, pongal,sweetmeats..what not! Full enjoy!

Tickle tickle laugh laugh, selfies.. No end to their festivities.

Don't laugh Dad? Why does this seem funny to you?

Who won't laugh when someone is enjoying like this?

The folks from his apartment's management call me up

and keep telling me that this friend ofyours is up to all these activities here,

are you going to ask him to clear the place or not?

Oh and you know something else?

There is a chief woman who heads all these women right?

You know..like they are shown in filmsbig, chewing a paan,

yeah yeah, that woman.

Now whenever she falls ill, or someone she happens toknow falls ill, they all get together and visit Dr Arjun Reddy.

Because me, our neighbour Srinivas uncle, we're no doctors.

Because there is no other doctor inthis city apart from Arjun Reddy right?

Hmm..true, Arjun Reddy is the only doctor in town.

Even now, just before you came here,we were discussing the same thing.

There's a film heroine Daddy!

That girl likes him a lot!

But even there, nothing will work out for him, becausehe has decided to sink and swim in that pain and grief.

Look. The same gossip. It's even out in the newspapers

What is this place that you brought me to Madam Heroine?

What if someone sees us?

Lakshman will take care of it.

Madam..madam, you please sit inside madam.Get off.

I told you off twice about this lovey dovey nonsense.

All of that won't work out for me.Why are you mixing this with love?

You have intelligence right?I am not going to meet you, you don't either

Sir, this is Durga from the hospital!

Say.

Sir, there's a case from Prabhu Sir.

Durga today is my day off. Put the phone down.

Sir, please, there is no one here.

Durga, I am in no state to conduct any surgery.Cut the call.

Please sir! I could give you some all-pax if you like!

There's been a lot of blood loss.

Put the patient on a ventilator. I'll be there

Ok sir, I'll get that done right away.

Durga!

What happened?

What happened?

This is a matter of prestige for Citizen's Hospital,

I will get his license cancelled come what may!

I'll go to any length! Tell your favourite surgeon,I will see him in the court.

What happened?

Shiva, there comes a time in your life when your bodyrings a warning bell saying its capacity is over.

That is when you should stop everything.He should stop everything right away!

He is not listening to anybody sir!

He has to! Otherwise he'll die!

How did you get so dehydrated Arjun?

Have you been drinking everyday?Have you not quit your bad habits?

Yes! Im drinking everyday! So what now?

Mummy, this is just a phase in my life, understand that.Don't ask me trashy questions.

This hospital and mine have a lot ofpatient exchange programs.

Ok?

The minute I came here I spoke to the Director.He is not listening.

Says he will speak to the police professionallybut he isn't agreeing to anything.

Says he will go to any length to see this through.He's acting all psyched.

Says your friend belongs in the jail.

Apparently, this matter's gone all the way to AIIMS.

Did you see that ?

You know what that means right?

This guy.. He has a knack for rubbinghimself exactly with the wrong kind of people!

What is with your 2008 St.Mary's batch?

I've never seen a batch worse than yours.You, him!

How dare you dont shave and come to the hospital!

No matter what we do, our appearance has got to be neat.

Shall I tell you something? Thatmorphine episode was his personal sh*t.

But this is now professional!The entire country is watching man!

It's a big deal!

He had anger issues. But alcoholism? Drug addict?

Grandma, up until yesterday,you kept asking me where he was!

Now you know where he is! But you won't come! Why?!

I cant see him in these circumstances.

Don't then!

But at least call him and talk to him!

Grandma! If you call him, he will come home!

There is a difference when the people we love dieand when they leave us and go away.

In the first case, our minds and hearts adjustto the fact that the person won't come back.

Like me.

In the second case, it doesn't fade away that easily.
