_"I apologize to you miss, but all dr,Yacine's patients have been forwarded to other dentists at the clinic since he quitted his work here a week ago"

What!?

There's no way he would just quit his job so suddenly without a reason, I felt so enraged immediately.. That ex husband of mine sure was the culprit behind this deed.

_" excuse me, Are you a miss Noursine?" The receptionist suddenly asked.

I looked at her surprised then confirmed:

_"yes, this is her"

_" dr,Yacine left a message for you." she explained with a playful smile.

She quickly opened the first drawer next to her then she handed me an envelop while saying:

_" we've been wondering this whole week about the identity of this female patient who dr,Yacine- even in his hurry- didn't forget to leave a message for her, he was never the kind to chaise after women, you must be very special to him."

I took the envelop, while holding it with my trembling hand I already felt so guilty, indeed I'm very special .. I'm the woman who ruined his career.

Hesitantly I opened the envelop, the first thing I noticed was his terrible handwriting, the piece of paper didn't contain much words.. Only one line of them which I decoded with great difficulty
"If you can't contact this number, ask the receptionist to give you my family's contact."
And he left a phone number underneath these words.

Once I saw the series of numbers the first idea that came to my head was logically to dial them and call immediately because I was so concerned about him, and so I did while still standing in front of the receptionist's desk.

Luckily, the call was soon picked up and Yacine's voice came from the other side saying:

_"Allo"

( author's note: "Allo" is the way we answer phones in Algeria, I'm told it comes from "hello" but we pronounce it like the French does, by dropping the H because in French H is not pronounced.)

_"doctor yacine? .. This is Noursine" I said.

A long silence followed afterwards, only interrupted by him finally saying:

_"mrs Filladi, How can I help you?"

My heart just broke the moment he called me "mrs Filladi".

Because I never actually mentioned my husband's name, I never told him I was married to a mr Filladi, most certainly, Eliyas himself surely contacted him after our last meeting.

I didn't even know how to react.

_"are you ok dr,Yacine?" I asked with a trembling voice.

_"I'm fine.."

We both remained silent afterwards, For a long time, we said nothing, until he finally added:

_" It was your husband who forced me to leave a message to you with the receptionist, with my number on it, so as you'll call me like this when you receive it, Mr Filladi said I stepped out of my borders with a phone call .. So I should fix everything with a phone call as well. For these few last days I was hoping you'd never receive that envelop because I have no face left to speak to you, but it happened eventually, I apologize for being inconvenient to you, I apologize for calling you in the radio station, I will certainly not contact you again in the future mrs filladi."
