Shivaay: So now you know that first beats are around 6 weeks of the pregnancy. You may be able to hear - and see - the embryo's heart beat for the first time when the pregnancy is about 8 weeks by ultra-sonic and...
He stopped talking and looked at Anika who was smiling with teary eyes all the time, no matter how he is trying to ignore her, he can't help but look at those beautiful kind eyes that filled with gratitude and seems so familiar
Shivaay swallowed: its enough for today, class dismissed
All the class walked out and as Anika was going, Shivaay signaled her to stay and Anika happily stayed
Shivaay: come, Doctor
Anika approached with slow steps asking her legs not to give up on her and wiped her tears fast fearing he notice them, not knowing he all the time wasn't looking but on them and counting them tear by tear
Shivaay: why are you crying, Doctor Anika?
Anika smiled widely and wiped under her eyes again and chuckled faintly
Anika: I am sorry Doctor; I am just so happy that I will operate with you, sir
Shivaay smiled faintly, looked down for a moment then nodded
Shivaay: I think I owe you an apology, I underestimated you
Anika smiled faintly: there is no need for apology, Doctor; you are my teacher and I just have to prove myself to you, thank you for the opportunity and I will do my best, I promise you
Shivaay smiled: are you always like that?
Anika: like what?
Shivaay: don't mind, Doctor Anika; I just want to say you deserve it, just when you become famous surgeon, remember me
Anika took a moment thinking how he doesn't know that he changed her life with only one question he asked with no intention what so ever to do that, but because of it she found a chance to be a Doctor, and he says remember me?!!! She will never forget him!
Shivaay: Doctor, the surgery will be at 4pm and may take from 6 to 8 hours, can you handle it? Can you stay?
Anika worried: when?
Shivaay: today
Anika smiled widely: YES, YES, today I can stay as long as you want
Shivaay smiled: well, I am glad you can, then you have to eat something, I don't want you to faint in my OR (operation room).
Anika smiled widely: don't worry, Doctor; I have my lunch with me (then she took a moment) would you care to join me?!
Shivaay frowned: excuse me Doctor?
Anika's face turned red and she looked down then said in low tone
Anika: I am sorry, it wasn't appropriate question to ask, I hope you excuse me
Shivaay frowned: no, it wasn't appropriate, because I am your teacher and you are my student, there is a line that you can't ever cross with me, but I will excuse you, because this is the first and last time you will cross this line.
Anika bowed her head sadly and nodded; Shivaay kept looking at her with a frown but behind this frown was a heart that aching intensely in his chest for embarrassing and scolding her this way, with any other student it would have not ached him at all, but Anika is different for some reason and that is why he felt putting her back in line was a necessary action
Anika: I am sorry again, excuse me
And she was about to turn and walk away but...
Shivaay: wait, Doctor Anika; I have a copy for you for the file of the case we will operate on today, please come with me to take it
