"The bridge you are Slowly burning, just know there would be no turning back" She said staring directly into his eyes as she wiped away the tears on her face. "You should know that you are nothing but a pawn in this game" He said, glaring at the woman with a disgusted look on his face.
"Whatever you do in the operating room, make sure you do your best, I don't care how you want to do it but all I care was you making the surgery a success"
That was all I could hear when I was entering the operating room luckily, that helped shape my thoughts as I carried on the operation successfully.
Who knows who the next patient would be? I hope it would be some rude rich fools that think only for themselves? I thought within myself,
"Doctor Tiana, you are be summoned in the office" One the nurse said to me immediately I came out from the operating room, and I nodded my head in approval,
I washed my hands, removed my surgical cloth and headed directly to the office; I got there hoping that the chief doctor who gave credit to my work instead took all the credit.
I tried to lashed out at him but I bit my tongue because I afraid to lost the job I love all my life; as I was bickering with my thoughts I heard a familiar voice,
"You must be doctor Tiana? A familiar voice asked, which made me turn to his direction.
It was him, my heart screamed, his hair fit perfectly on his face, his muscles and abs fit perfectly into his leather suit and I must say he had done so well for himself.
My tongue was tied as I remembered things I had tried to forget and I hope today will not be the worst that it has ever been?
I tilt my head as I tried to avoid eye contact
with him, afraid he would recognize me.
"Did you see a ghost? The man asked, fixing his eyes on me,
I gave him a professional smile, a smile that was far from being real.
"Sorry, that was unprofessional of me, yes I am doctor Tiana, how may I be of help? I asked boldly while I was shaken within,
The young man got up, adjusted his suit, pointed at me and said to the chief doctor,
"You know what to do" he left leaving me shocked and my leg wobbled,
The moment he left I released the breath I did not know I was holding and I almost lost my balance; I was glad there was a table to support me from not falling.
Today would have been the worst day of my life if the things I had worked hard for were destroyed all of a sudden because of my carelessness.
This young man was the last man I needed to meet,not now and not in the future, he was the sole reason I left this country years back.
After my first surgery, he was the first man I had to encounter. As if that was not enough the chief doctor glared at me as if I had taken an important thing from him.
"I don't know what you did to the young man;you are made their family doctor" He said angrily throwing the patient file at me,
"What are you talking about? Are you not the best doctor? Why did they need me as their family doctor? I asked all at once as I glance through the file,
"The young man that left would be in the best position to reply to you" He said glaring at me,
"I am sorry to disappoint you, I reject this offer I can not be their family doctor" I blurted out without thinking,
"No one cares about you, you are doing your job and that's final" He concluded and left.
I stamped my feet on the floor till it hurt, I am not accepting that offer, unless he points a gun at my head I sure know I won't accept this offer.
I checked my time and It was time to get my baby from school. Just as I was about to leave the hospital, the chief doctor called out to me.
"You are to start your work in the family house tomorrow and do not mess things up for me" He yelled with an angry voice.
I cared less about what he said because all that mattered to me was my kid; the only person I got comfort from.
I drove to the school with my black leather SAV car, parked at the parking spot and headed into the school.
My son rushed to me, giving me a hug and with a smile on his face which could melt every hardened heart.
" Mom I saw dad today" He giggled,
I was taken aback by his sudden outburst so I squatted before him ruffling his hair.
"Tell me, did someone bully you to you accept him as you dad" I asked angrily as I tighten my fist,
"No mom, we met in the bathroom, he was kind of cool besides we act exactly the same" He said innocently,
A thousand thoughts ran through my mind as I thought of the possibility of my son meeting his real father which I knew would never be possible.
"I see you must be talk about Charles and here he is" I said excitedly sighting Charles from far,
My son ran to him with his tiny leg hugging Charles who picked him up and carried him on his body.
"I thought you were busy today?you know you should not have come beside people sees me as Ethan's father" Charles whispered into my ears proudly,
I turned to him, giving him a small smile, while the encounter I had earlier kept playing in my head.
"You and I know the reality of what is happening so stop playing dumb every single time" I let out in between my teeth,
"You can say all you want but I am not giving up on us, I would keep my hope high" He declared as he held my hands,
Suddenly, Ethan suggested we go to a playground where other children and their families are.
"I am sorry but I had work to do" I declined but Charles nudged me on my shoulder which made me surrendered,
the smile on Ethan's face that had disappeared, appeared fully on his face and I could see the reason Ethan ever got to speak about Charles as his dad.
Ethan screamed in his loud voice " Daddy we met again as he hurriedly came down from Charles body"
Charles and I turned to the direction of Ethan's voice, immediately I saw the person he was calling dad my drink spilt all over my body.
