Doctors Love ✓

𓆩 Epilogue 𓆪

Inara walked through the corridors of Fatima memorial hospital where she had spent some horrific days of her life. This place once haunted her to such a level that she just wanted to run away.

Now, after years of her house job she was strolling the hospital reliving some good memories she had with people who weren't part of her life now. Her batch mates were scattered all over the world. They could only meet each other on the alumni dinners.

Zulaid kept working in the same hospital. He was also running his clinic side by side which had become more popular over the years.

Inara walked to the medical college beside the hospital where she was welcomed by the students and head of alumni society.

"It's good to have you here ma'am!" A boy from final year MBBS gave a bouquet to her.

She thanked him happily and walked into the college that was the worst place for her in the past but today it was nothing but nostalgic.

She went to the stage on the podium, and looked at the people gathered in the auditorium. There were a number of students from all cases of MBBS. Once she used to sit at their place, listened to different successful doctors who used to speak standing at the podium and now she was one of them.

She smiled at the visuals of the past she was remembering in her mind.

"Good morning everybody!" After greeting them, she started her speech.

"It's really good to see all here at the place where I was once" She smiled and took a pause.

"I won't lie about anything just because I am successful today. My journey wasn't simple and easy. It was very difficult and I have suffered a lot in all my years of medical college.

I can feel you guys because I know it's not easy to be here. Medical college is tough indeed but the final year and house job is the toughest one. But every year thousands of students pass through this toughest phase to go on a long journey that helps humanity at the end. So indeed all you are very lucky to be the chosen one. Don't get worried for the future, you will get through this. There would be problems but you will face it bravely. You just need to take care of your mental health. That's what is most important, you and your happiness.

I have suffered from anxiety and depression. I had stage fright, I couldn't speak to a number of people and look where I stand now. If someone would have told myself in medical college that one day I would speak to a large gathering I would have only laughed at the person. But our days don't stay the same. We move forward in life and we get over things with help of course.

I urge each one of you who have problems to seek help. Trust me you will feel better..." Inara said each word heart fully.

She shared her long journey with the students. She told them how she became a renowned dermatologist being an average student all her life. She motivated them with her life.

Sitting at the front row in the auditorium with a few other members of faculty Zulaid clapped his hands in the air as she ended her speech.

His heart filled with pride to see her at this stage, happy and successful.

Inara looked in her direction and moved the mic to herself once again.

"I forgot to tell you all one thing" She took their attention once again.

"I happen to be the wife of your not so favorite Dr. Zulaid Afandi" She told them with a smile.

Final year students gasped at this piece of information. They couldn't believe such a rude man got a lovely wife.

Zulaid laughed at her words.

"She is something" His colleague laughed with him.

Zulaid walked to the stage as she came down. Both smiled at each other.

"You shocked the students" He said to her.

"They are just shocked at my choice of husband" She kept smiling.

"Nara! You are just impossible" He laughed and the students couldn't believe watching him. He wasn't the same man they knew. He was so different around his wife.

Zulaid took a leave and they both left the college together. They went to have lunch. After that they went to pick their kids from their school.

Eight years old Zuhyr walked to his father holding the hand of his baby brother. Six years old Zayan bin Zulaid removed his hand from his brother's hold and rushed to his father.

"Baba!" He ran to Zulaid who leaning down, grabbed him in his arms.

"Kesa hy mera sher beta" Zulaid ran his fingers through his hair.

(How is my son)

"Tired" He pouted. He had the same comebacks as his mother.

Zulaid smiled as Zuhyr hugged him. He wiped the sweat from his face.

"How are you big boy?"

"Fine" He smiled going towards the car. He was like Zulaid, calm and composed. On the other hand Zayan was chaotic just like his mother.

He was just as Inara was a child. After spending years with Inara, Zulaid knew how to tolerate naughtiness. And moreover one could never unlike their own kids.

For Zulaid, Zuhyr and Zayan were his life.

"Mama bhai scolded me today when I bought a candy" Zayan complained to his mother first as they sat into the car.

"Huhh why Zuhyr?" Inara looked at his elder boy.

"Candy is bad for health mama!" Zuhyr gave his reason. He looked at his mother disappointedly. She doesn't even know this, who made her a doctor.

"Uff toba hy. Master baap ka master beta" Inara muttered to Zulaid only.

(He is just like his father)

"As responsible and caring as his father" Zulaid corrected her.

"He is my son also!" Inara stared at him.

"You are so impatient let me complete first. Zayan is as mischievous as you were in your childhood" He added.

"Shut up!" She whispered to him so that the boys in the backseat couldn't hear them.

"Baba is getting scolded by mama!" Zayan giggled.

"No!" Zuhyr shook his head at his little brother.

"You are no fun" Zayan pushed him away.

"And you too much fun little guy! Say sorry to your brother for pushing him. Bad manners!" Inara looked behind at her son.

"Mama you are no fun too around baba!" He complained to his mother.

"Zayan!" She called his name in fake anger but her sons could never get scared of her.

"Mama" He winced.

"Zayan say sorry to your brother" Zulaid's one saying was enough for him to surrender.

"Sorry big brother" Zayan gave a side hug.

"It's okay" Zuhyr patted his head lovingly.

Both Zulaid and Inara smiled at each other at the affection of the two brothers.
