Chapter 1 - A Sunny Afternoon

It is the first week of May and it is summer, the sun is shining at it's brightest

trying to prove his might. Part of the fields are drying and most of the plants

from the country withers, unable to withstand the heat. Cold drinks are a sure

hit or actually, any merchandise is cold. It is definitely an irritating time of the

year but in a happy country, everyone is still smiling.

It is Thursday afternoon, exactly 4:00 pm, the wind is blowing gently,

caressing everything it passes by. The leaves of the trees and grass seem to

be dancing in harmony along with a gentle tune, thankful maybe that they are

being fondled by such wind. The sun is preparing to set, the light is still bright,

but the afternoon sun and wind are like a perfect couple fluttering their joy in

the air.

In the heart of the city lies a famous hospital which also caters scholars

aiming to be specialists for continuous research and medical advances. At the

back of the building, there stands a man in a white coat, enjoying the peace

the gentle wind brings.

"Aah...what a beautiful day..." he said to himself.

"I hope every day is like this...just peaceful..."

He took another breath of air until a voice was heard.

"Doctor!. (pant...pant...) H-here you are..."

"Ah, Cristina it's you."

He noticed that his assistant is catching her breath as she leans over the tree.

"Is there an emergency?"

"Yes...the meeting is about to start in 5 minutes, the Director wants all the

specialists gathered by this time."

"Meeting? Oh yeah! the meeting. Sorry, I forgot."

"I literally searched the whole building" she murmured loudly.

"Hahaha! sorry about that, I appreciate the effort. But, just tell them I'm not

going."

"Eh? Whaaaat? B-but Doctor you are an important person there! The Director

will be terrified! Not to mention that you are the author of this

research. He'll kill me if I don't bring you there. So... you're just joking...right?

hehehe... (Oh please good Lord not this time)"

The Director's face keeps flashing at the back of her mind. Good enough to

give her thrills.

"Nope...it's not a joke, unfortunately, I have a date"

He just passed by on his assistant throwing his white lab coat on her.

"See you later Cristina! And make a good excuse for me ok? Bye!"

A wink from him could have melted her heart.
