"Good morning Doc"
"Good morning Lisa"
"How was your night doctor?"
Different people greeted Lisa as she breezed into Delorez Clinic where she worked and she greeted them back accordingly.
It was a routine she did everyday
"How's your wife Gabe? has she given birth yet?" she'd ask the janitor.
"How's the new apartment going Frank?" She'd ask the security
"Good morning to you too Gabby", she'd greet the nurse
"Rita how's your husband?" She'd ask the female resident doctor who had a husband with a failing heart
The same questions she asked everyday to the same people she saw every morning, as she went to her office.
But today, she didn't particularly pay attention to the questions...or to the answers as for.
No. something else was on her mind. She had a sick feeling of dread in her stomach like something was going to happen; but she shook it off, resolving to remain positive.
As she walked into her very , spacious office, she put on the lights and air conditioner, then went straight to her plush chair to sit down. She was very tired.
She pulled her jacket and hung it on the chair feeling restless, she brought out her phone from her bag and dialed Daniel; her husband, she was restless and only his voice could soothe her nerves; Only his voice had the ability to calm her or make her as euphoric as an ppium addict.
She was twenty-eight and had been married to Rob for ten years now. Rob was her high school sweetheart but she had married him that early because she had gotten pregnant with their now ten year old daughter Esther.
Thankfully, since the last ten years, she'd had no reason to regret her hasty marriage, or giving birth to their beautiful daughter
"Hy dear. You've reached Daniel Marvins, please leave a message"
"Um....hy Dan. I've been trying to reach you since. You're obviously busy since your answering machine is the one picking my calls, instead of you. Anyways... please call me when you get this alright? I really need to speak with you. I love you"
Well, that was that! She'd sent it hadn't she? Daniel was a doctor just like her. Well, except he was a surgeon at another hospital.
A knock came through, interrupting her thoughts
"Come in; the door's unlocked" Lisa called out, not bothering to raise her head up. She already knew who it was.
"Good morning Doc. Your 8 o'clock appointment is here"
"Good morning Ify. Please send them in" Lisa said
A very young couple walked in. hmm...they didn't look so good she thought, wondering what could be their problem.
"Good morning Doctor" The lady spoke up
"Good morning dear. Please sit. I'm doctor Lisa and you're?" she already knew their names, but asked anyway, for formalities sake.
"I'm Agatha. Agatha Mbah; and this is my husband Benjamin Mbah".
"Well, nice meeting you. How may I help you?"
