His promise

Chapter 4

After properly washing myself and changing my shirt I went home. I opened the door and went inside. While  putting my bag on the couch I was suddenly grabbed from my neck and thrown on the couch I was so startled that I unconsciously slapped the person who did this. My mother who was in kitchen came and said in a frustrated tone.
"What is this noise about?"

My dear brother Rayan said innocently,"Mama, api (elder sister) just slapped me I was only joking with her."
My mother said, " She's not crazy you must have done something."

Rayan shrugged , " Maybe she's just angry and slapped me because she's hungry ."

" Ohh! excuse me you hungry whale everyone is not like you and stop lying you just choke-slammed me when I entered the house." I said while huffing.

"Oh my God Rayan! How many times I have to tell you to not to try any finishers you learn from WWE at home. It can seriously hurt somebody. When do you watch these things by the way? Always wasting time in watching rubbish instead of studying."

Rayan scratched his head and said, "Where did the topic of studies come from?"

I laughed at his misery as I knew he'll be lectured thoroughly about his studies then eating habits then gaming and much more. I fled the scene before my mom change the topic of her lecture to me and  went to my room to freshen up.

I entered my room said ," Oh! my love I missed you."
There's nothing more blissful than sleeping peacefully on your own bed after a night duty at the hospital.

I woke up and went to the living room where my brother was doing homework. Father was watching news in television.

Mama said, "Mehmil come dinner will be ready in twenty minutes meanwhile help your brother in his homework."

I sat near him and explained him the whole chapter.
"What were you doing in class Rayan when teacher was teaching you this chapter? I had to explain you the whole chapter again."

He answered," Umm, you know what, it was the last period and I was hungry, I can't understand anything on empty stomach. I was just thinking about the food I'll get at home. I was wondering what will mama cook today."

I facepalmed , " Uff you and your obsession with food.  You're always  thinking about food."

He shrugged , " Yeah, I'm still thinking about dinner. It's so distracting."
I shook my head at his antics and continued teaching him. After dinner all of us went to our rooms.

I'm such a paranoid person , I was lying on the bed while the lights were off as I thought what if Zain comes and threatens me. How will I defend myself? I should have taken some self defence classes. My mind was plagued with these stupid thoughts until I got tired and covered my self from head to to toe with blanket as if it would protect me and slept contently.

Next morning I woke up, got ready and went to hospital as usual. I met Sara and Maria in the corridor and they told me that Junaid, Zain's third in command is not critical now and was shifted from ICU to a private room yesterday. I thanked God that there will be less chances of meeting Zain now.

But as I reached our head of our department's office I received the news that shattered my dreams of spending my day peacefully.

He told me that I have to take a round on the floor where Junaid is admitted as the usual doctor on duty was on leave today.

"Ya Allah! Have mercy on me." Was the only thing I could say after hearing this bad news. This hippocratic Oath sometimes becomes very problematic for doctors.

Hippocratic oath: Oath of ethics taken by medical students which also states that the health of my patient will be my first consideration. Age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, politics, sexual orientation, social standing, etc will not intervene between my patient and duty.
