Okay, so it was brought to my attention that Chapter one was...long :D (which I can't help...I tend to write in detail so the chappies get longish :D) But here is a bit of a shorter chapter 2. Enjoy...and SEND মতামত if আপনি want আরো :D
Chapter 2
Limping slowly up the sidewalk towards the front entry of PPHT, House carefully picked his way across the ice covered cement, his anger growing with each hesitant step. The morning had started off just cold and wet, but in the last ঘন্টা the temperature had dropped ten degrees and turned the rain into sleet which now covered every surface making the parking lot and path to the door into an ice rink. The drive to the hospital had been treacherous, but for House it was a cake walk compared to the 25 yard walk from his car to the front doors of the hospital. His cane had slipped on the slick walk twice already, nearly sending him spilling into the bushes, the mere thought of which brought his temper to right below the boiling point. Finally reaching the entry, he yanked the door open angrily and hobbled into the lobby. Making his way to the clinic ডেস্ক he eyed the redhead morning nurse as she worked quietly at her computer. “Hey,” he shouted, causing her to jump from her silent concentration. “You do know this is a hospital right?” he bellowed, leveling his heated eyes with her startled ones.
Staring up at a cranky Dr. House, Meredith slowly stood and steeled herself for the onslaught she knew was to come. “This…this is a hospital?” she asked derisively, looking around the clinic in mock confusion. “Hum…well that would explain the patients and doctors…” she drawled putting finger alongside her mouth in faux contemplation.
Her reply only served to raise House’s temperature another few degrees. “Yeah, this a hospital, where sick and crippled people come,” House bellowed waving his cane over the ডেস্ক at her in example.
Not following the point of his rant, Meredith gave him a questioning look and perched her hands on her hips to await clarification.
“Cripples and sick people don’t have the strength to ice স্কেইট to the damn front door when they get here,” House fumed, pointing toward the door he had just entered.
Meredith glanced briefly in the direction he indicated then turned her unfazed gaze back at him. “In case আপনি haven’t notice Dr. House, I don’t wear one of little gray jumpsuit numbers that are so জনপ্রিয় with the maintenance department; AND,” she added, not backing down in spite of his fiery stare, “I haven’t been outside since I got here at 4am, so forgive me if I don’t know what kind of precipitation has been coming down while I've been in HERE,” she ব্যক্ত gesturing around at the clinic lobby, “diligently seeing to patients,” she finished calmly before sitting down and turning her attention back to her computer screen.
House narrowed his eyes at the woman. Damn, she wasn’t afraid of him anymore. He liked when the newer nurses were afraid of him. Then again, this one wasn’t new was she? He started at her for a moment and tried to remember how long she had been working at the clinic. He really should pay closer attention to these things, he haphazardly considered, it made finding lackeys to cover for him during his clinic hours easier. Shrugging the thoughts off, he raised his cane over the ডেস্ক and used its rubber tip to push the flat screen monitor over on its side.
Yanking her hands away to avoid having them squashed, Meredith shot House an angry look. “Damn it House,” she muttered, reaching over to lift the screen back up on its base. “What is your defect? Did I do something to আপনি in another life, অথবা do আপনি just HAVE to screw with someone with in the first ঘন্টা of your দিন to keep from self destructing?” she grumbled, glaring at him.
House lifted an amused eyebrow at her. “Don’t worry, it’s not just you, but আপনি might be on to something with that whole self destruction thing.”
Meredith rolled her eyes as she sat back down and turned back to her work. “Go away,” she muttered with quiet indignation.
Raising his cane again, House shoved her keyboard off the ডেস্ক sending it clattering to the floor.
Glaring at up him, Meredith literally bit her tongue. She desperately wanted to give him the tongue lashing he deserved, but he was still her superior, no matter how big of an গাধা he was.
“Get off ফেসবুক for a সেকেন্ড and call maintenance to salt the walk,” House demanded.
Swallowing her anger, Meredith calmly reached for the phone. Lifting the whole thing from its place পরবর্তি to her computer, she gently set it down on the wide ledge that circled the desk. “You know, I’ve forgotten the number. Maybe আপনি can call one of your buddies who keeps slipping আপনি Dr. Cuddy’s office key to come down and see to that walk,” she ব্যক্ত steadily.
House eyed the defiant woman with a little surprised. “You’re mean,” he stated giving her a fake hurt look before turning and limping off towards Cuddy’s office. “I’m telling Mommy on you,” he tossed over his shoulder as he circled the desk.
“Dr. Cuddy’s not in,” Meredith informed him as she put the phone back in its place.
House stopped and looked back at the nurse. He knew Cuddy’s schedule, she never had meetings on Friday mornings. Friday’s were when she reviewed the patient files for the week. Lisa Cuddy was a creature of habit; unless the sky was falling he knew he could always find her behind her ডেস্ক between 9am and 11am on Fridays. “She hasn’t come in yet?” he asked suspiciously.
Picking up the phone receiver, she rolled her eyes and refused to look back at him. “She’s gone to a meeting,” she stated off handedly as she cradled the handset between her shoulder and ear.
His forehead furled in suspicion, he limped back towards the desk. “Cuddy doesn’t take meetings on Friday mornings,” he stated, eyeing the redhead.
Glancing back at him briefly she shrugged. “She does today,” she declared as she began dialing.
Coming back around the desk, House reached down and pushed down the lever in the cradle, disconnecting the call.
“I can’t call maintenance if আপনি do that,” the Meredith stated with irritation.
“Who’s the meeting with? How was she dressed? Would আপনি describe it as her normal every দিন slutty অথবা super slutty?” Housed quizzed. The last time she had left in the middle of the দিন had been for an internet তারিখ he recalled. As he considered the possibility, a familiar feeling of anxiety filled him. He shoved it away and leveled his gaze at the woman in front of him. “Well?” he asked, his irritation growing.
Physically lifting his hand from the cradle, Meredith ignored House’s প্রশ্ন and started to dial the maintenance department again.
Lifting his cane again, House waved it at her in a threatening fashion. “Haven’t আপনি learned your lesson this morning? আপনি know I know how to use this,” he stated, posing its tip over the phone in a menacing gesture.
Rolling her eyes, the nurse felt her resolve give way. ‘Forgive me Dr. Cuddy,” she silently prayed. “She left here 45 মিনিট পূর্বে with Dr. Wilson,” she confessed.
House narrowed his eyes, as he turned the possibilities over in his meticulous mind. Lowering his cane, he turned away from the ডেস্ক and limped towards the elevators without another word.
Meredith watched his retreating form and couldn’t help but chuckle. “And your welcome Dr. House,” she ব্যক্ত with amusement. Suddenly a small voice pulled her from her trance. Turning her attention to the tinny voice inside the phone, she cleared her throat and said, “Oh…Hi…sorry…Ah, I need to get maintenance down to the main entry with some salt…”

When does প্রণয় become something we need, rather than something we want? প্রণয় was seen as something special a long time ago. Now প্রণয় is what we are expected to have with us everyday of our lives. প্রণয় is common currency when আপনি are a teenager, but turns to worthless pennies the older আপনি get. Do we not care about the substance of what প্রণয় was and not what it has been made into today দ্বারা commercialisation from American চলচ্চিত্র and টেলিভিশন commercials and soap operas? Only when we experience প্রণয় for real, can we মতামত and judge others who are in Love. প্রণয় means something different to everyone. Not two people’s feeling of প্রণয় is the same. Why do we generalize, rationalize and compartmentalize Love? প্রণয় is and will continue to be an enigma. Only a handful of people will ever unlock it and witness its true beauty and essence. The essence we all crave.
Love.
Love.
