OBSESSION (COMPLETED)✔

CHAPTER 4

Shad Ali Siddique

'Oh, God! you are such a charming young man' An elderly woman said happily, holding Shad's hand.

'And you are a very beautiful young woman, Mrs. Wilson' Shad replied winking at the woman, she blushed and smacked his arm 'Naughty boy' Mrs. Wilson said smiling widely.

Shad asked the woman to lie down and take rest, he then turns to the nurse who stands next to him. He takes the notepad from her and wrote down the progress.

Mrs. Wilson, had been admitted last year with complaint of chest tightness, she was diagnosed with Heart failure. Shad had been appointed as her doctor by Mr. Singh. Mr. Singh heads the training program for the doctors which Shad is part of.

Mrs. Wilson was little skeptical of Shad but he impressed her with his knowledge, professionalism and bowled her over with his charm and exceptionally good looks. Mrs. Wilson now, considers him no less than her son and Shad is humbled. Being in a foreign country away from his family and friends, he felt like home in presence of Mrs. Wilson.

Mrs. Wilson was so found of Shad, that she had once offered her daughter- Emma's hand in marriage to him. Emma is a good-looking and independent woman, also like her mother she had a crush on Shad. But Shad had politely refused- marriage isn't top priority for him right now. He wants to focus on his career for now.

'Very good progress, Mrs. Wilson' he said flashing his signature dimpled smile and kissed the back of Mrs. Wilson's palm

'It's all your efforts' Mrs. Wilson blushed. Shad informed her that she will be discharged tomorrow, Mrs. Wilson looks upset that she will not be able to meet Shad in the hospital, after a while she adds 'We will meet someday'. Shad nods his head, he didn't want to disappoint her by announcing that he will be off to India tomorrow.

Honestly, he is excited to be back to India, back with family and his friends and of course Eifad. But he will miss New York and his patients especially Mrs. Wilson and Emma.

First thing that Shad does after entering his cabin his check his phone for e-mail. He smiles widely on seeing a reply from Eifad.

'Eifad! my bestest best friend, I knew you would reply' he exclaimed happily clicking on her message.

From: Eifad Hooda <Hoodaredcross70>

To: Shad Siddique <Shadrockz2020>

Subject: Good to hear that you are coming back

Will come at the airport on time

Eifad Rafi Hooda

Shad frowns as he read the one line message from Eifad. He had send her one Para in the e-mail putting in all his excitement and then what he got in return, a one-lined reply from her. But then knowing Eifad for so many years why was he even having expectation of one para reply? This is typical of Eifad.

Shad smiles shaking his head, he leans back against his chair. Eifad and Shad are like two ends of a pole. Shad full of energy, full of life, talkative, over- enthusiastic person while Eifad is woman of few words, forever scowling, uninterested, serious type person.

Shad wondered how twocontrasting people become such good friends. It's amazing. He rests his headback against the chair recollecting the day he had met this weird specimen heended up befriending. And now, this weird specimen is everything to him.
