Our Eternal Bond

Chapter ~ 2

Kyra

Being a doctor means coping up with numerous responsibilities. A doctor's day starts with patients and also ends with them. I remember when I was a kid I had always dreamt of being a doctor, I don't know why but I felt like dedicating myself to my patients.

I am currently sitting on my chair and examining a patient's reports. It was very challenging for me because the patient has already suffered through many diseases, so I've to be extra careful in treating him.

I advised the person to follow a routine chart till I get his other test reports. Mu assistant called me and said that my parents are trying to reach out to me but I'm not receiving their calls, then I realised that I've kept my phone on silent because I was busy in a surgery.

I quickly called them and we conversed.

My uncle was very serious so I decided to end up my schedule and quickly return home. Besides this I had done overtime last night and was quite exhausted.

After reaching home, I freshened up and head downstairs for breakfast. I could sense a tension.

Then my uncle started speaking, " we are going to your aunt's house for few days because she's not doing well. "

" Oh! What has happened to her?", I disliked my aunt's presence due to some personal reasons so he was hesitant in speaking to me. I understood now.

" She has some neuro related issues. ", Uncle said.

" Tell me in detail, so that I can know and treat her properly. I know that I've immense hatred for her, but first of all she's a human. I've some humanity within me and besides this I'm a doctor first and the first priority which comes to me is my profession. I don't mix my personal and professional life which you know pretty well uncle. So, tell her to shift here. If she stays adamant, then I cannot do anything. " I explained.

Within some minutes he rang up my aunt and spoke with her. Just like I had guessed she was obdurate, but then gave in.

" She's coming here.", Said my uncle.

" Fine. But I'm not going to tolerate her stupid taunts and unnecessary demands. Besides, don't expect me to maintain a good relationship with her. We are going to maintain a doctor - patient relationship only. Don't force me with anything else. " I said.

My uncle and aunt agreed. After finishing my breakfast,  I reached up to my brother's room only to find him sleeping. This boy!! He'll always study at night and sleep in the morning.

I remember when he was a child, he had developed the habit of studying at night and miss his school in the morning, the teachers used to complain a lot about his lack of attendance but he was also an astute student and a good artist. He was popular in the school because of his strictness, just like me!!

I remember my school days when I was an introvert, sincere and obedient child. My behaviour was the best part of me according to my teachers. It is not something which I'm too proud of. My discipline nature and strictness earned me the responsibilities of becoming head montor, captain, head -girl and various other posts.

After my school life, I joined JNU and that atmosphere did not suit me well. Students were kind of drunkard, drug-addicted, etc. I thought no one is good and innocent here like I have imagined it to be. The scenario was too toxic for me to adjust.

But then I found someone, who was exactly like my type, Arnav.
