Superstar's love (ON HOLD)

AHANA'S P.O.V

I sighed and said the most dreadful thing, I didn't want to say to anyone but today the day was it,

"I'm sorry Mrs. Ghosh. We couldn't save your child."

Mrs. Ghosh for a moment didn't understand what I said but when I said again sorry to her, she completely broke down. She lost her first unborn child. My eyes were filled with tears. This was my first unsuccessful surgery. We knew there were complications but as Doctors we have to overcome those complications.
I feel like shit.

After the surgery I just went in my cabin and sat with my palm covering my face.
How could this happen?
I know this is a part and parcel of my profession but this is the first time I was in charge and it was unsuccessful. A woman who was so happy and excited to meet her child didn't get to meet her. Yes it was a girl.

When in internship or studying the surgeries were unsuccessful, it was not so painful. There I was not the incharge of it. But today I could have saved the baby.

I was crying by now when someone knocked on my door.

"Come in." I tried sounded calm. Key word tried.

SAMAR'S P.OV

I entered Ahana's cabin after knocking and her very low voice saying come in.
Truly Divya was going to come for the reports, but at the end moment she got a call from her college so she had to go, and I had to come here.

"Hey." I said not knowing what has happened to her. She sounded sad.

"Hi, please sit down. The reports are ready." She said not looking into my eyes. Her voice was as if she had cried just before. But why?

I sat and she started explaining me the reports.
"Her haemoglobin is little low. So watermelon, soy products, beetroot, make sure she has these all in her diet. HDL and LDL cholesterol levels are fine. Other than that everything looks good. Bring her for checks ups every six months. Any query you have?"

I wanted to ask why was she crying but I know she won't say a thing so I simply answered, "No, thank you."

She nodded.

We both got up, I guess she was also leaving the cabin, I was about to leave too when I couldn't control myself and asked her,
"Why were you crying Ahana?"

She looked up in my eyes shocked, her secret was out. She diverted her eyes the second moment,
"No I-I wasn't crying."

"I know you are lying. If you want you can share, it will make you feel lighter."

She looked at me for few moments probably contemplating whether to give in or not.

"I couldn't save the baby today in a surgery." She let out a sob.

Oh my god!

"I wanted to save her, but I couldn't Samar. It was my first unsuccessful surgery. I literally feel like such a useless Doctor right now." She was crying by now.

"Hey hey!! Don't ever say that. You have worked way to hard to say such things." I grabbed her by her shoulder.

"These things happen don't they in your profession? In life we don't get to see only good days. Bad days are parcel of life, just like these moments are part of Doctors life. Don't ever blame yourself. You are a brilliant Doctor. Don't let one surgery dampen your spirit. Hmm?" I said softly.

"I don't know." She muttered and kept her head at my chest, she broke down.
I wrapped my hands around her body, carefully enough so that I don't make her feel uncomfortable. For few seconds she was still but then she hugged me back.

"Stop crying Ahana, please?" I said as I caressed her hairs.

After few minutes, she pulled herself from me. She wiped her tears. She looked at me,
"Thank you and sorry." She sounded so genuine.

"What for?" I shrugged.

"Thank you for consoling me, for boosting my confidence. And sorry for my rude behaviour last night. I didn't mean to hurt you but I guess I did." She looked down while saying the last part.

I smiled at her effort.

"Ahana, don't say sorry and thank you. Well, I have already made you my friend. I know you don't."

She didn't say anything. So I thought I should just leave. I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable or nervous.

"I will take your leave. Take care Ahana." I patted her shoulder. And left.
