Shouldn't Have Kissed You.

chapter 5

Dedicated to MonuYadav1

Maya walked in her office after a three hour operation. To say she was tired would be understatement for her. She took off her coat and placed it on the seat that was only separated by her table from hers.

She walked to the mini fridge in her office and picked up a bottle of cold water. She needed it after all. Maya sat on her seat think of the operation.

She had saved a life today. No, it wasn't her, it was the God whom she worshiped. He was always guiding her hands when she went to do what she knows the best.

That's why before they do anything, she always made sure that she has prayed to her Heavenly Father. He was the one in control, always and He never ashamed her. Never.

That's why when she saw a family member or a friend thanking her for saving their loved ones life, she would tell them to thank the Almighty for He was the healer and not her.

Maya took the glass she had poured herself water to her lips when she heard her door being knocked. She gave herself a moment to swallow it before she answered a come in to the person.

The door opened and in walked a lady who was in her late thirties. Maya recognize her as the wife of her patient and smiled at her before asking her to have a seat. She looked at her dumped coat on the opposite chair and felt ashamed.

"Please forgive my mess," she began still looking at the white coat.

The woman just smiled at her with an understanding smile. She did, after all it's her husband who had been in ER for three hours. And those hours where hell for her. She couldn't help but get worried for her husband.

"It's okay," she kept her smile on her face,"I do understand, I just wanted to know a few things about my husband."

Maya pulled a file that was placed the opposite side of her and opened it. She had had the same file for a month now and she could say that everything was much better than before.

"To be honest," Maya said looking up. "It's still early to say anything about your husband right now. We have taken the swelling from his head and right now the blood can be pumped well. As for the pain, we will wait till he gains conscience ness for us to tell the percentage of it.

"But don't worry. Everything will be alright. It's a good thing that you brought him here the moment he began to complain his head paining all the time. With the severance that he will have here and the medication, that we will prescribe to you, he will be in a good shape before you know it."

"Thank you so much Dr. Maya," She thanked wiping away her tears,"I don't know what I would have done without you."

Maya smiled at her and got up from her seat, "give the thanks to God, because He was the one guiding my hands," she rubbed her back with one hand and the other took a sachet from her table and handed her, "here, now stop crying."

"How can I not thank you?" She asked wiping away the tears from her cheeks, "you just got married yesterday and you should be on your honeymoon and yet you're her saving lives like nothing happened yesterday."

Maya felt bad. Yes, she was there saving lives as if yesterday never happened at all. In fact, she had forgotten that the moment she walked in the ER. Was she doing something bad? Was it okay for her to forget?

For her to forget the name calling yesterday night? For her to forget that she slept on a cold floor all night with nothing to cover her body. To forget that she had been promised hell instead of heaven. To forget that her life was now a game of chess and she couldn't do anything to stop it. Was it wrong?
