Tears gathered in my eyes as I saw my car and my bride burning in the fire of agony in front of my eyes. I tried reaching her, to save her but those with fire hydrants on their back stopped me from moving. I pushed them aside and cut through the crowd I made my way towards her, my Trisha. I cried aloud after seeing her burning figure in front of my eyes. She couldn't leave me.
I tried opening the car's door which was covered with a hot, burning fire. But two people grasped me in a stronghold from behind. I cried her name but there was no response. She was unconscious, her clothes caught fire. Those firefighters were not even saving her, nor were they allowing me to save her. Why was this happening to me, god please let her live, she is not like me, she is kind-hearted and she cares about her family. Please let her leave instead and take me with you.

"Trisha", I screamed, my eyes opened up. I woke up, my whole body was covered in hot sweat and trembling in fear. Was that a nightmare again? I have been having this same nightmare for the past few years, but this was the first time I screamed someone's name. Who is Trisha? I didn't know any Trisha and I had no idea why I got these nightmares.

I gulped some water on the nightstand and stood up. My whole body was shivering moments ago but now I feel better. I had the same nightmare so many times that now I didn't even give it much thought.

I got ready for work in the usual shirt and pants combo. I took the keys to my Porsche and walked out of my house.

I lived in an apartment near the hospital in which I worked as an orthopaedic. The apartment was neither too small nor too big, but someday I would like to buy a good house with an infinite number of rooms and so many doors that whoever enters the villa gets lost inside, like a maze.

I sat right in the driver's seat and turned the engine on. I looked outside the window as the words got out of my mouth "What an ugly morning". Clouds covered the whole sky and there was no ray of sunshine in this darkness. It may rain today. The hospital was not far away from my apartment it took only 10 minutes to reach there. I slid off my seat and walked inside the hospital. Nurses stood up from their seats and left their work to greet me, this morning, but I walked straight to my cabin ignoring their greetings and light whispers going around.

I sat on my chair and checked my phone while I waited for today's appointment reports from my manager. Yeah, doctors too have managers. She managed all the reports and appointments. She was very helpful, without her it would have been a pain in the ass to manage all the things on my own.

I am the youngest doctor in this hospital. At first, no one took me seriously, as I was too young to work here according to them but my seriousness towards the work and the positive responses from my patients made them recognise me. My father also worked in this same hospital as a neurologist. So, everyone saw me as his kid and I didn't have my face. They always called me a product of nepotism. But I am here today because I worked and studied my ass off for years not because I am his son. Being his son never did anything good to me, he was always busy with his work and I never got anything like father's love, it was my mom who was there for me every time I needed someone. I have a huge respect for him as a doctor but as a father, he failed at his job.

My phone rang with a notification and I saw today's appointments. It was a free day today compared to others so, I relaxed on my chair and sighed as I waited for the patients.

I would be lying if said that I love my job. There was nothing to love about my job. The only thing good about it was that it made me loads of money other than that there were only cons. Seeing sad faces all day long, seeing people in pain and working at odd hours whenever there is some emergency. It was a tiring job and there was nothing to enjoy in this. I became a doctor to earn money but I never took into mind the cons that come with being a doctor.
