17: Suspicions and Fears

Those who have forgotten Tyler, he was Kiara's first love and once friend. He rejected her the cruelest way possible and humiliated her.

Kiara's POV:

"I don't have a good feeling about this doc, what if this messes up my eyesight forever?! I mean, I'm the only eligible heir of Haron enterprises, don't you think it would be a tragedy if I die at this young age? I'm-"

"Ms. Haron, you're just panicking. I'd like to assure you sincerely that nothing would go wrong. I've been treating the members of the Haron family with dedication and honesty for as long as I can recall. You are the young mistress of Harons and I will put every bit of knowledge and effort I can muster in this operation," the unamused opthalmologist muttered with irritation.

Of course he would be irritated. It was completely normal.

If I were a doctor and my patients would constantly question me about the probability of their death despite of my smooth medical skills and PhD degree, I would just smack them silly.

"So, when are you starting this operation?" Despite my efforts, I failed to conceal my irritated tone. I was sitting here for hours for my LASIK surgery and no one bothered checking up on me. The sooner they got over with it the better, because I was growing more impatient and afraid as the time passed.

I could've called Sinn but I didn't want to bother him. Stephanie was also engrossed with her library work, so I was left to tend myself.

I would be lying if I said I didn't feel hurt. But I was used to it. I was used to being abandoned. Just like the name calling.

I had plans with Stephanie today, we were supposed to go out for shopping after this thing. Of course I need to wear glasses, my soon to be new lenses wouldn't be prone to UV light for at least a week.

I tried to change the direction of my thoughts so that I wouldn't panick. My mind drifted off to my incomplete assignment, my debts, my aunt and finally Sinn.

Sinn was behaving weird lately.

I mean he was still good to me, he still took me out and behaved like the best boyfriend in the world but it was too good. Too good to be true.

His acts were like as if it were rehersed in a perfect, flawless manner. His moves were graceful and toungue as pliable as an English from the 1700's. He was always sure to check on me, even if he wasn't meeting me.

There were a lot of sides to him. I don't know which side was real and which one was fake. Sometimes I felt like he was wheedling with me. It was like a tricky Sudoku, the answer was right in front of me but I just couldn't catch it.

I felt a slight pinch in my arm and I knew that they injected the anesthesia. Soon my eyelids weighted like a stone and my vision became blurry. Giving into the medicines, I lost myself into the realm of the dreams.

"So, you lost those hideous glasses?"

"Uhm."

"And can have a look around without wanting to cut your head off?"

"Uhm."

"Can you take your sunglasses off?"

"Nohmm."

Stephanie kept staring at me with her suspicious eyes as I devoured the sandwich in front of me like a starved piggy. It's been awhile since I was released and Stephanie dragged me out for shopping. We thought it'd be a great idea to have a meal before we started. Sinn's birthday was nearby and I thought it would be a great idea to buy a gift for him.
