The First Arc starts now. . .
There had been an emergency at the hospital, the previous night. A woman with a serious heart condition had gone into labor and Dr. Anand had stayed by her side the whole night.
By the time, the child was born, he and Dr. Desai were completely exhausted. Anand gazed at the mother and the child and went into deep thoughts that, whether the precise moment of birth was determined by the mother or the child...
Suddenly, he realized that the new born had not even cried once...he and Dr. Desai, denied from believing that child was dead. Surely, they had not spent the whole night delivering a dead child...
At last, Anand decided to revive the child through artificial respiration.
His rough lips had barely touched the delicate mouth of the infant, when she whimpered. He and Desai were happy and confident enough that now the baby would surely survive. Soon, the baby started crying lustily.

Through the window, a ray of sunlight peeped in and Anand realized that another day had begun, and it was already 7:00 am. That means that his duty was over and he could now go home. He washed his hands and was about to leave when Nurse Prabhavati approached him. "Sir, Dr. Desai, left his watch near the operation table. Could you please return it to him, on the way?"
Anand nodded. He then, drove off his Mercedes to the professor's house (Dr. Desai).
When, Anand entered the bungalow, Vasumati, Dr. Desai's wife was pleasantly surprised to see him; they were distant cousins. "Come in, Anand", said Vasumati. "What bought you here so early in the morning? In all these years, you've come to our house only thrice! Is everything alright at home?"
"Yes, everything is fine, actually the professor forgot to take his watch from the hospital, and so, I have just come to return it", said Anand.
Vasumati, then requested Anand to take lunch and sleep here itself and then go back home. Though, he was very tired, he could not refuse the invitation and so, headed towards the guest room. He changed quickly, and lied down on the bed. At that time, nothing mattered to him, neither food nor clothing nor company....he just wanted to sleep
As soon as his head touched the pillow, he heard a sweet voice...!
