Eifad walked through the corridor towards the elderly service ward. She is dressed in white long sleeve wrap neck top neatly tugged in her knee length black pencil skirt. Everyone greeted her as she entered the ward. She greeted them formally.
'Call Dr. Kim Lawrence.' She said one of the compounder who nodded his head and disappeared inside the ward.
Soon, Kim came. She looked like she did last night at the wedding, miserable. Eifad asked her to follow her into the cabin, she also told one of the compounder to call Dr. Kiran to her cabin.
'Here.' Eifad extended a glass of water to Kim, who sat on a chair in Eifad's cabin. She shook her head.
'Take it, you will feel better.' Kim looked at Eifad who urged her with a smile to take the glass. Kim didn't protest this time and took the glass. Eifad watched her carefully as she gulped down water.
'So?' Eifad said leaning against the table, Kim looked at her. 'What have you decided?' she asked looking at her intently.
Kim looked away, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
'I am going to give in.... just sleep with him and get this over with.'
Eifad is stunned. Kim broke down crying.
Eifad felt angry realizing what Kim has decided. She held the chair tightly alarming Kim, whose eyes flung open.
'What do you mean?' Eifad said through gritted teeth, her eyes blazing with anger, 'You will sleep with him once and he will stop? No, Kim. He won't... he will keep harassing you... and when he gets bored of you, he will move on...This won't stop unless we do something.... You do something.'
'What can I do?' Kim cried.
Eifad sighed throwing her hands in the air, she turned around and ran her fingers through her hair. Kim continued to cry in the background.
'Will you first stop crying.' Eifad roared shutting Kim instantly.
'You aren't weak, Kim. You can't just sit here and cry. It is time to take action against that b******' Eifad motivated her.
Kim shook her head, she sounded fearful when she said, 'but he is very powerful and he...he will destroy my career.' Kim sobbed.
Before Eifad could say something, there is a knock at the door. Eifad took out some tissue paper and threw at Kim.
'Wipe your face.' she said sternly.
After Kim had composed herself, Eifad looked towards the door.
'Come in.'
Kiran entered the cabin, her eyes darted from Kim to Eifad. Eifad nodded and Kiran entered closing the door behind her.
Eifad composed herself and then looked at Kim once again, this time when she spoke her voice was soft.
'Listen, Kim. We... I and Kiran are with you. See,' she pointed at Kiran, 'She too is an intern like you, yet she is ready to have the rascal punished. Then why not you? if you stand many of the women he has harassed will stand up with you.'
Kiran nodded with Eifad. Kim looked at Eifad and Kiran. She then looked down, staring at her fingers, and shook her head.
'I .... need.... sometime' she stammered. Eifad felt angry but before she could say something Kiran placed her palm on her shoulder and when Eifad looked at her, she shook her head little.
Eifad sighed.
Kiran took a step closer to Kim, she placed her palm on her shoulder and squeezed her shoulder.
