Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 - Her.

YouHeal Hospital Corridor

"Good morning" everyone greeted me as I was making my way through the corridor of the hospital. I could see a patient being carried away on the stretcher by the medical team, rushing through the elevator they existed, "Good grave". The presence of family members in the waiting area didn't go unnoticed by my eyes, wrinkled forehead, sad eyes, worried expression, some on the verge of crying made me feel disappointed. Not in them or on myself but I was disappointed in the time, in the future, we can't predict future, we don't know what it holds and how it will react but, we know one thing "disappointment" it disappont us in the end.

Reaching the 3rd floor, presence of some familiar faces appears in front of me. "Where's Savannah?", I could hear my team members questioning so, I had to answer "Right here!". Upon hearing my voice all their heads turned my way and I steadily made my way to them. "Ah where the hell were you woman?" Travis one of my team member asked in a irritating tone which I thought was unnecessary. "Sorry I know I'm late, apologies" I answered to all of them but, their faces were still holding a thoughtful of questions as I looked through all of them.

"You know director was here?" Travis once again asked, "Yeah I know" he chuckled sighly and "I assume you also know, what was the reason behind that?" Everybody looked at me waiting for my answer like a student waiting for their teacher "Yeah, I do know" everyone heaved a sigh, a tensed sigh as they looked anywhere but me "Why are you not joining us?", "why are you not transferring as us?", "why are you to only remain here?" All the questions bombarded onto me one by one by them all, and I understand them well, I would have reacted the same way if I were to find that I'm the only one transferring to different branch and not them so it was understandable.

"Director's order, can't ne denied" I answered with these two sentences which was I thought was enough to kill all the questiona at ones. "But why you?" Araceli questioned this time and this rang a bell into my ears as there were many capable doctor's team but why me? Was I not qualified enough to be transferred or is it something else? It had to be something else because I'm one of the best surgeon out in tbe world, not capable enough would be a stupid reason for this, then why? Looping this question in my mind, I finally cleared my mind "Maybe I'm too good at my job and someone needs to be here in emergency, we can't let an incapable person handle this all here alone, so I do understand why I'm not transferring" I stated some facts to them and it was working, it was not satisfying but it was good enough for now to get back to the work, we have patients to attend.

Cafeteria

Checking up on my last patient, I made my way to the cafeteria where I promised Anastasia a surgeon at our hospital but a sister like friend to me, I'd meet her there in an hour. I could see her sitting at the very end of the cafe, sipping her black coffee at our usual spot, the table with only two chairs, we purposely sit at that table, where we thought our minds out and open up to each other, I have always looked up at her like an older sister, she knows my only secrets too.

"So? How are the things?" Anastasia asked as I sat myself on the chair opposite her, "never been easy" I answered as I extended my hand a futher to get my coffee that she had ordered for me."Giving hard times?" she questioned again analysing my mind, "No, what I meant is for work" adding further I spoke "About him, everything seems easy and right" shifting her gaze back to me, she smiled a little as she said "You love him so much" a glimmer of happiness circled me whole "of cource, he's the best thing that ever happened to me" and it was so true, he truly is a best thing in my life, a precious thing that adore the most, the other part of my life.

Hospital Entrance

The clock was striking 11 PM and here I was about to leave to finally go home, the night was breezing as I saw the leaves of the tree flowing rhythmically, it was enchanting for me to see them at this hour, "Savannah?" as I was lost in my thoughts I heard a voice beside me snapping out of my thoughts "Yeah?" turning upto him I asked, it was Logan a transfer technician who works in technical field, "Um.. I -I..." He was stuttering, was hesitating with the words, "What happened?" "Tell me" I was trying to talk calm him but he seemed too confused looking here and there everywhere but at me, as I was about to say something my phone rang inside my handbag , "wait a sec I have to take this he nodded in agree and I moved a little away from him and picked up my phone, talking for minute I finally hung up and walkef back to him who was steadily standing at the same spot looking tensed, "Sorry about that, you were saying something?" I asked again for him to complete what he was saying "No no it's fine, it can wait but judging you phone call 2minutes ago, I assume the person needs you" he stated and "You should hurry home, bye." saying that he left hurriedly and vanished from my sight.

Halfway through the parking area, I could feel the breeze flowing, making my whole body shiver and as I was wearing a thin blouse with pencil skirt that didn't do very well to me, guess what I've to dress warmly from tomorrow on.

This parking area was under construction, some repairing was going on so the lights wasn't doing any help in this underground parking, but something felt off today, I couldn't figure out what but something was definitely off and I could sense it with every finber in my bone, suddenly I felt as someone was following me behind, I turned around but there was nothing all black was in mu sight, so without waiting I halted my pace towards my car which was not so further away from me, and as I sat inside my car ready to start the engine, I saw a tall black shadow at the very end of the parking and I could tell that it was looking at me, it didn't move stayed still in the same position for an minute. Without wasting any time I drove away ignoring that shadow which was still watching me go.
