Kia's POV

I've been visiting the psychiatrist's office or you would say clinic for a week now. Even though its just a week I feel mentally a little strong. I have to go to her 3 days in a week for an hour long session.
Her name is Candice Fernandez. She is of the same age as mine but a little taller and a little fairer than me. She is really sweet and completely understands me. I not at all feel uncomfortable with her because she makes sure that I'm comfortable and in a state that I can tell everything I want. On the first day I went to her we didn't started talking about my health and depression immediately...

*Flashback*

I had just entered Ms Fernandez's clininc. I went up to the reception where a red-haired lady stood who looked in her mid 30s. The floor was wooden and so my heels were clicking on the floor due to which the receptionist looked up at me and gave me a warm smile saying," Hello!! How may I help you?"

I returned back the smile while saying," Umm Yeah I'm Kia Lopez. I made an appointment with Ms Candice Fernandez today at sharp 2."

"Oh yeah!! It's here. Please sign this register and take a seat I'll just inform her."

I nodded smiling and taking a seat on the leather couch placed opposite to the reception. I quickly took out my phone and messaged Sam:

To Sam:
Hey!! I'm at that psychiatrist's place right now. I have some hope but what if she says I'm mad and puts me in a mental asylum.

I switched off the phone and waited for the receptionist to return back while tapping my feet. My phone went off signaling me that I had a message and it was from Sam.

To Kia:
Dont worry everything will be fine but then too I am doubting about you being in the asylum there are 100% chances as you are really mad;)...Hehe just joking calm down and relax. Luv yaa!!

I chuckled on her message. She litterally knows how to calm my nerves down that's the reason she is my big sissy. Then the receptionist occured and said," Please follow me". I nodded my head, took my belongings and started following her through the hallway which was decorated with photo frames of different flowers and the walls were light shade of baby blue.

After walking through some rooms at last our stop came and the receptionist opened the door for me. I murmured a low 'Thank you' just so she can hear it.

I was stunned to see the sight in front of me. The lady I thought might be in her late 40's was actually a lady around my age. She had worn black skinned jeans with a white blouse looking professional. Her hair was fashioned up in a messy bun and spectacles lied on the bridge of her nose. When I entered her cabin she was talking on her phone so I'm pretty sure she didn't notice me staring up at her. I stood there a little far from the entrance like a statue just waiting for her phone call to end patiently.

As her phone call ended she stood up from her seat meeting my gaze she smiled and said," Hii. I'm Candice Fernandez your psychiatrist."

I further went inside the cabin and stood in front of her table where she raised up her hand for me to shake it. While shaking it I said shyly," And I'm Kia Lopez. Your patient."

She lowly chuckled on my comment and chirped," Kia... Nice to meet you. I'm really happy to see you in a good mood while who come here are all gloom and sad."

I just uttered a low ' yeah' signalling her to continue which she did," So as I was saying, you need to come here 3 days in a week and you can choose the days for yourselves for an hour long seesions. Which days do you want?"

I nodded my head while saying," Monday, Wednesday and Friday will be fine."

She scribbled the days in her book which seem to be her reminder.
" Well that's done . Hmm okay so I was saying that as it's your first day why don't we talk and try to know each other well. Like instead of playing 21 questions why not play unlimited questions in 55 minutes?"
