Take my Hand | MIKHAIAH

CHAPTER 45 - Angels Rejoiced

Mikha began to march her way to where Aiah was standing. The others were already gone inside the ward.

"What are you doing here?"

"That's my boss." Aiah informed as she motioned to the room behind the door.

"My patient is your boss?"

"Yep." she confirmed.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I just got the news this morning, bubby. I called you, didn't I? You said you're busy. You were really cool, by the way. I've never seen you do your work up close before." Aiah giggled, teasing her lover.

"Are you stalking me or something?" she folded her arms on top of her chest.

"It's not stalking if I can clearly see you from these slit curtains."

"Whatever, you said I'm cool so I have no problem."

They both laughed.

"So, do you want to come again with me?" Aiah asked after a while.

"Do I look presentable?" Mikha suddenly became conscious about her appearance since Aiah obviously is going to introduce her to her employer.

"Umm... you just spoke to him a few minutes ago."

"As his doctor, not his favorite employee's fiance." Mikha said as a matter of fact.

"You look neat, intelligent, bright and good looking." Aiah straightened Mikha's lab coat and gave her a soft pat on her cheeks. "He's going to like you."

"Well, yeah, I'm not so sure about that."

"Why?"

"I'm going to crack open his chest and grope his heart, how exciting that makes him?" she stated sarcastically.

"You're helping him. Don't make it sound so gross." Aiah grimaced at Mikha's words.

Mikha grinned. "Do you want to know how I do it?"

"Eww," she pulled a face. "Ugh! Just imagining it gives me nausea. Let's just stop it right here. Come on."

Mr. Alvarez was smiling but it instantly went away when he saw Mikha walk in.

"Is there anything else, Dr. Lim?" he shifted on his bed nervously.

"Oh no, sir," Aiah quickly answered. "Um, I wanted to introduce you uh–this is Mikha Lim."

Her boss increased her brow as if he was saying 'Of freaking course! She's going to split my chest into two!'

"She's my fiance."

"Hello again, Mr. Alvarez." Mikha smiled charismatically.

He was surprised. It was evident on his face and the fact that he was speechless for a couple of minutes worried Aiah.

"Sir?"

"Aiah, may I?" he put his hand on his left chest, protecting his still beating heart. Aiah moved a little exposing Mikha who's face to face with Mr. Alvarez. "With all due respect, if I may know, Dr. Lim, how many times exactly have you done this procedure you wanted to do to me?"

"I can't tell you how many, I'm sorry but I've lost my count. We do this procedure on a daily basis. You're not the first or the only patient who needs this surgery."
