A multiverses of YOU and I

Universe Three: The perpetual puzzle

Ariadne Abuto

I had two patients come to me once for help.

Both of them had herpes and both of them had wanted to know who out of the two of them had been affected first.

But then when life throws you puzzles your way, some puzzles are just not meant to be solved.

So I being a doctor kept a secret for my patient and hence, decided to not put the last piece in the almost finished puzzle.

Kai Keats

I walked up to Dr. Abuto who was talking with the nurse at the lobby, a bouquet of white and red tulips in hand.

"This is for you," I said giving her the bouquet of flowers.

"I just wanted to say thank you for solving my problem," I said hoping to tell her the words I had come to say but couldn't.

I watched as Dr. Ariadne Abuto took out the red tulips and gave it to me.

I accepted it confusingly and said, "Uh! What is this for?"

"Eternal love."

"That's what red tulips symbolizes Mr. Keats," said Ariadne arranging the remaining white tulips neatly in the bouquet.

"And you should be giving that not to me but to your girlfriend who's waiting for you in the injection room."

"You better go and take your injection Mr. Keats. You're girlfriends waiting for you and I better go," said Ariadne looking at her watch.

"Mr. Dawson," Ariadne yelled out to an old man in a wheelchair who was just passing them.

"How's Mrs. Dawson? Still angry," said Ariadne raising her eyebrows at the old man.

"Ye-ah. She'll get over it. We've been together for over 40 years now. But it'll take some time," said the old man nodding his head.

"Take this and give to her and apologize nicely okay?" said Ariadne giving the old man the bouquet of white tulips.

I watched as she made her way towards me and said, "Thank you Mr. Keats for the flowers. It's really helpful and thoughtful for you to bring me some flowers and I'm glad I put it to good use."

"I shall take my leave then," said Ariadne as she backed away a few steps and turned to leave me alone.

"And those flowers are waiting to be accepted by someone else," Ariadne said smiling.
