HER HUSBAND [A STRANGER IN HER HEART]

Chapter Twenty

Aadil's POV.

"Good morning Dr. Imran welcome back it's nice having you in our midst again" Dr. Sa'ad greeted and hugged me as we both walked into the meeting room. He was the head surgeon of the gynaecological unit while I was that of the general surgery.

Wondering why I am able to achieve that even at my young age? It's all by Allah's might.

Sooner had we settled down than the board of directors and other colleagues made their way in.

The meeting proceeded during which I was commended for the good job I carried out at Canada and we had a series of discussion about the next surgery to be carried out by the hospital's surgical unit.

It was going to be a heart surgery but the only heart surgeon we had in the hospital wasn't available. Then I was nominated to take responsibility for the surgery.

"We know you can do it Dr. Imran" I was shocked beyond measure to see the rate at which my abilities were so much trusted by my colleagues.

I had no choice but to accept the responsibility and then I was made to decide on those that will make up a team for the surgery.

The meeting soon came to end and as I retired to my office, I was lost in thought.

Now I have to start making extensive study and research. It isn't going to be that easy, let's be sincere but no matter what, I have Allah and I trust him to always be by my side.

The surgery had been scheduled to take place in a week's time and I had just that short time interval to go through textbooks with thousands of pages and make researches but nonetheless Allah's aid is sought.

The surgery will be successful by His might, I'm assured.

Four days to the day, I was far from being the Aadil I use to be again.

I had become a very busy Aadil, always with textbooks and if not textbooks then I'm either on the internet making researches or on practicals with my team trying to figure out steps and procedures plus time management schemes for the surgery cause it's a very sensitive surgery that requires much time but should be done within a limited time.

At home Farha had already become very worried about me.
I was starting to get home very late at night and as if that's not enough, I was always very tired and worn-out.

"But why did it have to be you Aadil? Why not someone else? I Really seriously don't like the state you're in right now, this is so much taking a toll on you, why can't they just give the surgery to someone else. What more are you going to get from them, you've been made a head surgeon what more?" I was amused as Farha ranted while stroking my hair with her fingers at that night.

I came back from the hospital really very tired that I couldn't do anything. Farha had to do most of my things for me and she even weaned me with food.

I was very tired and all I just wanted was to rest in her arms of which she warmly welcomed me. I was lying on the couch while she was sitting and my head rested in her laps.

I was so much proud of her at that time. Things weren't the normal way they used to be, no play and jokes, no yelling and screaming, no taunting eachother, no rough play like we use to do and yet she was still very supportive.

It was like my seriousness affected her and she became serious as well. She wasn't the very playful Farha she used to be. She's become more like a wife now and she supported me more than how I expected of her.

"It's nothing to worry about uhn. Trust me I'll be fine, it's just a day surgery and after that everything will be back to normal. I have just four days to the surgery now and after the fifth day we'll be back to our normal selves uhn. I appreciate your level of patience understanding and support really it's least I expected from you. I..." I replied her and she didn't allow to finish she just cut me off.
