"Okay, Next" I called my another patient after I checked the previous one who had the flu. Slowly I saw couples entered my cabin, carrying the little girl in her arms as she looked at me, I flashed her big bright smile.
They sat in front of me on the chair that was divided by the table in the center "So what happened to her?" I ask, to the parents of a little girl who looks completely pale, she was hiding her face under her mother's stole.
"We don't know, doctor, from yesterday night Whenever she tried to speak her voice was not coming out and it hurts her in the throat, it isn't something serious, right?" She replied and I shook my head.
"I can't say it now, please can you lay your baby on the bed?" They nodded, I told the little girl to open her mouth but she looks scared enough that she is avoiding me by looking at everything except my eyes.
Her mother scolds her and she opened her mouth after death staring my face for a moment. As I gaze into her mouth I can clearly see the swollen tonsils.
I sighed. "Your daughter has swollen tonsils in her mouth, it must happen to her because of eating too much ice-cream, chilled water or food and because of this it's blocking her voice and hurting her"
"I told her father not to feed her so much ice creams and chilled juices but he never listens to me," she said in low voice, sending glares to her husband.
"So Now what?" Her father asks.
"I will give some prescription, please buy them from the pharmacy and make sure your daughter won't eat anything cold for a few weeks until her tonsil cures " I reply, sitting back on the chair, they nodded as I gaze back to the girl who still has worry on her eyes.
"You want to ask something?" I ask the girl and first, she nods then shook her head. "Go ahead, princess, don't worry I won't give you injections" I joked and a big smile came across her lips.
"Really? Thank you" she said and walked out of the cabin with her mother happily. I am confused about what she wanted to ask?
"She scares from injections and thought you might give her one " her father clears, l nodded, all kids scare from injections but except me, I never feel the pain of injection ever nor I ever cried because of it.
Yeah....I was my daddy's brave girl.
My phone that was on the table buzzed and I smiled mentally it's dad's call, no doubt that he will live a long life.
"Hey, dad! I was just thinking about you" I excitedly said and I heard him chuckle.
"Ohh really? I am happy that my daughter still thinks about his old man" he replies in a happy voice but with a hint of sadness.
"Dad, you ain't the old man you are still my young dad" He laughed loudly.
"If you say so, anyway, I call you because I wanted to tell you that your sister, Anita, found her love and she wants us to meet him," dad said and I chuckle.
"Papa, that's great news, I am so happy for sis, so what's the problem? I ask.
"Actually, We saw his picture and he looks good and will perfectly match your sister and we are planning for their marriage so we need your help in arrangements and all" dad specify plainly.
"So...You want me to come there? Dad you know I am in India right now and you guys are in Berlin, Germany I can't come there leaving my work here" I tried to explain dad but he stayed silent for a minute.
"Fine, if you want your old man to do all the work here alone" Dad definitely knows how to blackmail me. I sighed heavily.
"I will come there at a one condition dad," I say, leaning against the chair.
"So now you will blackmail your father, huh?" He asks and I smirked.
"You started first anyways I just want to see my brother in law, send his picture!" I replied excitedly.
He just hummed in response.
"Deal, do you want me to book flight tickets for you?" He asks.
"No need I will manage love you bye, take care," I said and quickly cut the call.
After I have done with all my patients, I opened my laptop to book the ticket for Berlin, one flight will take off on 12 am, I watched the time it's only 8 pm, I have enough time to pack my stuff.
But first, I need to take leaves for a few days and for that I need to meet the Mr.Sanjay he is the owner of this hospital where I work but I hate this man because he has a bad habit to look on women's breast while talking and I always make sure to make a good distance between us. So he can't get a single chance to touch me in a bad way.
I knock on his office after taking a deep breath as I step inside I heard some voices that were coming through his laptop it was women's moans, He looked up to me and his eyes went wide, he quickly shuts his laptop "why don't you knock before coming" he yells at me.
"Sir, I did" I reply, taking a step away from him. He sighed "Okay, what are you here for?"
"I wanted leave for few weeks," I told him as he gives me small smile.
"But, if you will go on leave then who will take care of me. I mean patients" he didn't even try to cover what he said.
"Don't worry, sir, I don't have any active patient right now and I am also done with the rest" I explained and he shrugs.
"Why don't you understand My need, Amaira, I mean hospitals need and if you will go this place will be turned into a ghost house," he says in a baby voice. That I hated it very much.
"But please it's my sister's wedding-" he cuts me off. " Ohh is that so? Why didn't you tell me before anyway, you won't invite me to your sister's wedding?" He asks raising the brow, I force myself to smile.
"Definitely you are invited but the wedding is in Germany.....is that okay for you than you are welcome" I faked my politeness because I know this cheap rascal will never afford such long trip vacation to Germany.
"Fine, I will come and before you left to your home, write a letter for taking leave from work, I will sign on it"
"Thank you, sir!" I walked out of his office.
Phew, he agreed at last.
I booked the ticket for my flight and closed the laptop and made my way out of my cabin. Handing the letter to the Sanjay.
I was only 10 years old when my family shifted to Berlin, Germany from Mumbai because of dad's job as a software engineer my sister and I was so excited about it, but I always wished to work here in Mumbai that also known as the city of dreams, after completing my degree in Medical science (MBBS) I came here and started working here from last two years. I also have a loving boyfriend named Aditya who is the son of a rich businessman, I met him at the medical college because his father was a trustee of my college he uses to visit there almost daily. He is handsome, funny, and cute at the same time.
I really miss him!!!
But I think, I definitely need to head back to my second home Berlin, I can continue my job there as well, I will apply for a job in some hospitals in Berlin and I will surprise dad, he will be very happy to know about it.
I went home and made my dinner, washed the plates and puts all my clothes in the suitcase, I take a quick bath and straightened my frizzy hairs, I don't want anyone to think that I don't take care of myself especially mom she always makes sure to remind me of eating food each night.
Like seriously? I am not complaining but still, I am not a kid anymore I am a complete grown-up girl.
Anyways, I already booked my Uber and it's waiting for me outside so it's better if I just keep going.
When I arrived at the airport, still an hour was left for my flight.
