"Don't go, it's pouring outside",I advised him but he just ignored me and went straight out of the main door and disappeared in the dark. It was already 3'o clock in the morning but he was obliged to go no matter what.. as it was his duty but he should have said goodbye to me giving me a warm hug as he used to do before going anywhere but this time he just hurriedly went and didn't even give me a smile. "It must have been an emergency",I thought. He used to go to fulfill his duty at unpredictable times even before this and always supported him because I knew it was his duty as a doctor to give his service whenever needed and I used to bid him goodbye happily every time but this time I felt something strange in my heart as if it was going to explode when I saw him sitting in his car and driving out of the gateway. I stood there staring at his car until it disappeared into the dark scary night. It was raining heavily and the flash of lightning was making the scene more bizarre. What's worse, was the weird feeling in my heart.
After reflecting on my weird thoughts for some time, I went straight to the kitchen in the house tobmake a cup of coffee for myself because I was not feeling sleepy.
I just wanted him to come back soon and get some sleep because we had to go on a long vacation the next day. We had already packed our belongings and were already asleep before his phone started ringing out of the blue and interrupted our sleep. After answering the phone he told me that there is an emergency in hospital and he had to go urgently despite the fact that he was already on the leave. Before I could say anything to argue or try to stop him, he gave me a peck on my cheek and promised to come back as soon as possible.
My excitement suddenly flew away after hearing this news and I started panicking at the thought that what if he forgot his promise because of his duty and what if we got late and missed our flight. I couldn't find peace at that moment as he managed to get some days off from his work and this was our first vacation after getting married 3 months ago and I just didn't want something unexpected to happen...
And now, 6 years have passed, yet we haven't gone to any trip and we can't go anymore just because of that night.
