CHAPTER 13
"Bye Dr Rasgotra" Olivia called as Neela walked past the front desk in Surgery.
"Bye Olivia I'll see you tomorrow" Neela told her with a tired smile.
She got into the elevator and closed her eyes.
The doors chimed and opened as she reached the ER floor.
"Bye Yvette" Neela said as she made her way to the exit.
"Dr Rasgotra, hang on a second" Yvette called following her.
She thrust 2 envelopes in Neela's hands.
"What's this?" Neela questioned.
"They're invitations to the hospital's Charity Ball" Yvette informed.
Neela groaned.
"Oh I forgot about that" she replied.
"Didn't we all" Yvette answered with a laugh.
"Could you give Anna the other one? she left before I could give it to her" Yvette asked.
"Yeah sure" Neela told her.
"Thanks, It's a week from tomorrow" Yvette added.
"OK thanks. See ya Yvette" Neela replied with a smile.
"Bye" Yvette answered heading back to the front desk as Neela made her way out of the hospital.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
"Anna?" Neela called as she opened the apartment door.
Anna popped her head out of her bedroom door.
"Hey" she said.
"Here" Neela said handing her the invitation.
She took it and opened it.
"Charity Ball…? Does that mean we have to dress all fancy and formal?" she asked with a horrified look on her face.
Neela laughed.
"Unfortunately yes" Neela told her.
"Great" Anna replied sarcastically.
"Yeah it looks like we have to go shopping" Neela told her heading to the kitchen to grab some beers.
"Lucky us" Anna answered with a groan.
Neela handed her a beer as she sat down on the couch.
She turned on the TV.
The sat there quietly while Neela flicked through the channels.
"So you want finish talking about it?" Anna asked breaking the silence.
"About what…?" Neela asked even though she was fully aware of what Anna was talking about.
"Don't act stupid Neela" Anna told her.
Neela sat there stonily gazing at the TV screen.
"Neela…?" Anna asked urgently.
"I don't want to talk about it Anna OK, can we just leave it" Neela exclaimed annoyedly.
"OK" Anna said raising her hands in a surrendering motion.
"Thank you" Neela said getting up from the couch.
"But you know I'm here if you want to talk" she said softly.
Neela nodded hastily before heading to her room and slamming the door shut.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
"Charity Ball?!?" Sara squealed excitedly.
Ray winced at the noise.
"Glad someone's happy" he said covering his ears.
"This will be so exciting, and I'll have to buy myself a new dress…" Sara gushed quickly.
Ray could already see her planning a list of things she needed in her head.
"I'll have to buy shoes, jewellery, get my hair done…" Sara continued and Ray began to tune out.
"Huh Ray?" Sara suddenly asked looking at him expectantly.
"What?" he questioned.
"I said do you need to get a new tux?" she asked.
"Umm…no" he told her shaking his head as the phone rang.
He jumped up to answer it.
"Hello?" he questioned.
"Hi Ray" Neela said.
"Neela?" he asked taken back that she had called him.
"Hey" she said slightly tensely.
"Hey, how did you get my number?" he asked curiously.
"Hmm…oh Sara gave it to me" she informed him.
"OK…" he said feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Is Sara there?" Neela asked slowly.
"Oh yeah…I'll get her for you" Ray said pausing in surprise.
"Thanks" Neela replied.
"For you, It's Neela" Ray said tossing the phone to Sara.
"Hi Neela…" Sara began getting up and heading to the bedroom.
A few minutes later she re-entered the lounge.
"What was that all about?" Ray asked curiously.
"Oh she asked if I would like to go shopping for dresses for the Charity Ball with her and her friend Anna" Sara told him setting the phone down.
"Really?" Ray asked dumbstruck.
"Yeah why are you so surprised?" Sara asked with a frown.
"Umm…no reason" Ray told her jumpily.
"OK…" she mumbled.
"Oh look at the time…I think I'll go have a shower" Ray said jumping up and practically running out of the room.
Sara nodded slowly a baffled expression evident on her face.
"Something was definitely up" she thought.
