Sorry for the late update guys. Was busy with some personal works. I'll make sure the next update comes on time : )
Suddenly everything around me went blank . I was standing inside an empty room with only a bench in front of me. Something was lying on the bench and it was covered with a black cloth . I moved towards the bench and slowly tried to remove the cloth. My hands were trembling and I could also hear a person whispering into my ears " don't open it ! Don't open it !!"
But I was really curious to know what was there inside. So I plucked up my courage and slowly pulled the cloth away.
There!!!!! I saw a person......... lying dead !!!!!. But I have never seen that person ever in my life and I am so sure of it.
Who is he ???? The question was running deep inside my mind .
I slowly looked down and saw something in his forearm.......something in black.......... I moved closer to take a clear look of it and it was a tattoo.

( This was the tattoo that was on the person's hand )
Then I heard someone weeping. I slowly turned back to see my mother and father standing in the corner of the room . Their eyes were directed towards the corpse and they were weeping. But why are the here???? I asked the question to myself.
ILLA ! ILLA ! I heard a familiar voice , a voice really known to me . Then I felt a splash of water on my face and I slowly opened my eyes.
I could see few pairs of eyes staring at me with wonder and worry ; and my friend Lexi's eyes was one among them.
That's when I realized that I fainted and fell off the ground when I was about to hand over the bouquet to our new Dean .
"Are you all right Illa ????" Lexi asked me with a look of concern " I think you should take some rest. You have been working so hard for the past weeks....."
Lexi was right. I had been working in night shifts for the past few weeks as my colleague Dr. Luther had some conference to attend .
"I am fine Lexi......don't worry " I smiled at her and she sighed with a relief.
Soon, I pulled up all of my strength and got up from that place and took the bouquet lying near me.
I saw our new Dean standing near the side door to the conference room , with his back facing towards me. He was talking with someone in his phone.
I took few steps toward him and called him from the back. " Excuse me sir....."
He quickly turned back and I saw a fine-looking gentleman, in his middle 40s' or 50's , wearing a fully formal suit with a black full- hand coat. "You can call me Michael , Illa ! " he said.
Yes ! he was none other than the famous neurosurgeon, Dr. Michael Broca. Not many people have seen him in the past few years and he is a very confined person.
Most of his works and researches have won Nobel prizes, but he never really went to collect any of them in front of the public.
He also treats his patients selectively and never like to reveal him anywhere or to anyone.
(you guys may think then how come I know about him!!!! That's because I am a huge fan of his works and have seen his picture once in my chief doctor's office [they were close friends once !!!!])
Just then something striked me . How come he knows my name???? I never introduced myself yet.......
"If you don't mind doctor..... can I ask you a question?"
" yes please....." he said
" How do you know my name ? Cause I haven't introduced myself yet......"
He paused for a minute and then continued.......
"Ah..... just now your chief told me about you........" with that he smiled.
" I am really sorry for what happened Dr. Michael ; didn't know what came into my mind ............ " I told him with a look of concern on my face
"That's not a problem, Illa ...... I mean..... Dr. Illa, it happens .......... " he said .
Then all of a sudden my chief came out of the conference room and whispered something into Dr. Michael's ears. Soon he turned back to me and said "Well!! Meet you soon Dr. Illa , looking forward to work with you......" and left.
Something was really strange with this man....yes I could sense it very clearly.......the way he talks with me seems like , he had known me for years......
Just then Lexi came and stood near me.
"Dude who is that guy????" She asked with a notorious smile on her face.
"Who? Which guy Lexi? Oh...... please don't tell me you are asking about Dr. Michael........." I said with a terror on my face.
"You seriously think I would ask about that old chik to you.....never Illa. I asked about Nik!!"
"Nik!!!!! I don't know anyone with that name. Is he your cousin or something????" I asked her with an exclamation.
" Don't play with me Illa, you were the one telling that name while you were unconscious " she said.
What??? I never know a person with that name . Was he the one who was lying in front of me , dead, when I fainted ??? But how come........ A lot of questions were running inside my mind .
" Ok. Chill my girl. No worries . Don't think much........ come let's go to the cafeteria......." with these words Lexi pulled me and we both walked to the cafeteria.
But who is Nik ? And why did I call out for his name ????
Want to know more........then stay tuned for the further chapters.........
