"Hah!" Ella sighed while sitting in the chair of her office. she was still thinking about what had happened in the park the day before. off course she knew this would have happened when Jayson will get to know the truth. but still it hurt a bit not because she was disappointed about Jayson`s behavior but because she had realized that no matter how much she change herself it will not have any effect because the people around her would never accept her after knowing her past, it indeed was a bitter truth but she never knew in her past that things would turn out like this if she had known maybe she would not have done as such, maybe....
while she was out on a walk in the hospital, she encountered Kate. she pretended to pass by with out seeing her but she blocked her way and began the conversation. "Oh! isn`t this miss Ella. where are you going?" she asked teasingly.
"Hah! hello Kate do you need anything from me?" Ella asked annoyed.
' what would I need from you? but you didn`t replied where are you going?? meeting dr. Noir?" she asked persistently.
"what does that have to do with you even if I am going to meet Noir? " Ella replied.
"Oh!.. Noir, have you become this close to call each other so casually.?" she again asked. "
"Just what is your problem? Huh? who ever I met and however I call them have nothing to do with you. can`t you just mind your own business?" she said almost annoyed and angry.
"Off course it has something to do with me. I just wanted to tell you that no matter how much you try to cling to Dr. Noir or try to seduce him he will never fall into your trap. so just face the reality and don`t keep following him every where because he is never going to fall into your trap.' she said forcedly.
"humph, Oh so this is the actual thing. so by the way whose trap is he going to fell? yours? ' she asked smirking.
"you... how dare you talk to me like that? Don`t act so high and mighty and better know your place. and also just stay away from Noir. ok?"
"Ha! who are you to tell me what to do and what to not, Huh? and one more thing I don`t only act high, I can also insult you and pasture you but you know what this is the only difference in both of us that I can`t down to your level. so if I am being nice then let me be and don`t test my patience or you will have to face the consequences." she said sharply and then went away. as usual Kate kept calling and shouting behind but she just smirked and left.
on her way back, she bumped into Noir." Hi! Ella. where were you all day I could not see you anywhere? he asked politely.
"Oh, Hi! I was just busy and some annoying people also kept wasting my time." she said as if she was annoyed by the thought of it.
"Humph, who is this annoying person by the way who made your mood this bad? "he asked laughing.
"Who else, off course there is only one annoying person in the whole hospital and whom I hate the most. miss Kate." she replied making weird gestures of her face.
"Oh, but she is not that bad. I think. In fact I think she is kind of nice." he said teasingly to annoy her.
"ah! really. If you find her that good then just go and talk to her why keep clinging to me." she said angrily.
"Haha! just look at your face. it`s all red with anger like a tomato." he said laughing.
"What did you say? my face is like a tomato. then your face is like a... like a pumpkin."
"what!? pumpkin.? from where do I look like a pumpkin. just look at me how hand some I am."
"Ha! just look who is talking. and self praising himself. other than you I am way more beautiful"
"Oh Yes, yes off course our all mighty Ella is the most beautiful." he said joking.
" you... you are again making fun of me. just you wait child. how I will teach you a lesson."
"ok grand ma then I will wait for your lesson." he again teased her.
"YOU, How dare you call me a grand ma. take this." she hit him with her file. he began to run and started to chase after him. it was like a dream. where they both were running and chasing each other, laughing and teasing around. it really was just like a beautiful fantasy which Ella wished for never to end.
Their relation was really changing, in saying they were friends but in real there was something more than a mere friendship between them which they had yet to find out about.
"Miss Ella, Miss Ella!!" a nurse came running at her office.
"what happened? why are in such a hurry? "she asked confused and worried.
"There is an emergency. a patient has arrived who had a sudden heart attack . his condition is very critical. please come quickly." the nurse said almost catching her breathe.
"Ok. don`t panic I am coming. let`s go" Ella said and they left hurriedly. "where is the patient?" she asked the nurse on their way.
"He is in the ICU." replied the nurse. "Ok!" they quickly went towards the ICU. outside there the patient`s family was sitting they were crying and begging the doctors to save the patient. Ella had seen this a lot. people crying and begging to the doctors to save their loved one`s. praying for them to be alright. but she never understood that how can be someone so precious to you. how can you love someone so unconditionally. in most cases. the patient survived and after that their families used to have a huge gratitude towards the doctors but in the worst case scenario, if some one was not able to be saved, those families used to insult the doctor and tormented him for not saving their loved ones. this was the story of every hospital off course but luckily Ella had to seldom face the humiliation of not being able to save the patient, because in this case not only the life of a person is at risk but also the whole carrier of a person is at stake. but no one knows that the doctor also feel tensed in the case.
Any how, Ella immediately went to the ICU and started the diagnosis and treatment. she could also feel the pressure of the situation because the patient`s condition was very critical but no matter what she had to save him. she was trying her best to open up the blockage in the arteries which was the main reason of the attack. it was a critical hour for everyone . at last she came out. her face was not showing any expression. the patient`s family gathered around her to ask the condition. she remained silent at first at was facing the ground in search of the words which she should use to tell them the situation. then she took a deep breath and said,
"the patient,,, is... out of danger now. we have performed the surgery. he is unconscious at the moment. we hope that he will wake up in the next twelve hours."
After hearing this everyone took a sigh of relief, they began to thank her for saving the patient. some one even asked her an angle. at this she almost laughed in her heart. and just went away without saying anything.
On her way, she kept wondering that how strange everything is? people are so unpredictable. if the patient was not able to be saved those people would have been cursing her now and now they are comparing to god and angels. but the thing annoyed her the most was that why did she wanted to save that patient because before it really did not mattered to her if the patient lives or not so, why now? what had changed now?
