Hurt,Betrayal And Sacrifice

Chapter 2

                       Dua's P.O.V

"I'm gonna be late. O God why do I always forget my things here and there!" I mumbled hurriedly passing the corridor.
It was my first day at hospital. Like always I forgot my phone in the car. Laiba offered to come with me to the car to fetch my phone but I said I'll get it myself as we were already late and I didn't want my friends to be late because of my negligence.

I was hurriedly running through the corridor when I bumped into someone
"Oww! Can't you see mister. You just broke my nose!" I yelled at the guy who bumped into me and had us almost falling to ground If I hadn't supported myself with the corridor wall.
"It was you who bumped into me Ms. Dua and what a nice way of meeting after a long time"

A gruff and manly voice spoke and damn that voice had me freezing on my spot and I looked at the guy I bumped into and it was none other than Hashir Wali Khan

I couldn't believe he was in front of me after five years. It felt like I was dreaming but not a good type of dream for sure. It was a nightmare. That guy hated me no hate is just a small word for what he felt for me he loathed me. I was too shocked to say anything. And my mind was swirling with the questions and most important of them were why, how, when.

"I know I'm hot and handsome and you couldn't help but stare at me still I must remind you it's a hospital. You can stare at me later when we'll be alone"
His voice broke my chain of thoughts and his words they just did something to me. I glared at him so hard that it felt like I could kill him with my looks if I kept glaring at him.

"You're so self conceited and proud that you forget to see that I wasn't looking at you but thinking deeply. Now get off my way I have to go for the meeting."
I spat at him fully ignoring his smirk.
"Now now. That's not a good way to greet someone. I think you need to be taught some manners"

He said mocking me and I fumed at his words but I controlled myself knowing far to well that we're in a hospital's corridor and I would surely not want to create a scene here in front of whole hospital. Besides everyone present there was already staring at me and him with a reason unknown to me.

"I don't have time for you bullshit. I'm getting late. Get out of my way."
Before he could reply or say something I pushed past him and moved towards the office where my friends were supposed to be waiting for me.

I knocked at the door and entered. All my friends were sitting on the soffa seats placed inside the office. Zohaib snd Omar was sitting side by side on the sofa placed in left corner of the room while Laiba and Aina were sitting side by side on right corner of the room with a little space beside them which was meant for me to sit on.

The office room was small yet elegant. Walls were painted white with various charts decorating them. A wide table was placed in between the sofas om which my friends were sitting. A comfy rotating chair was placed ahead of the table meant for the head of the meeting. Some papers were placed neatly on the table. All in all it was a small yet comfy meeting room.

As I entered all of my friends looked at me. The meeting hadn't started yet so it was a relief for me as no one was present in the room except me and my friends but the incident that just happened minutes ago had me shook to the core so I just stood there emotionless staring at the wall.

"Dua! Thank God you're on time. I was about to go and search for you. What took you so long? The meeting is just about to start. O God I'm so excited it's just a dream come true. You know I always wished to do my internship in this hospital. I....."
Laiba blabbered only to be cut off by a scoffing Aina.
"Shut up Laiba. Let her breathe atleast"
Aina chided her sister who in turn pouted at her.

"Dua are you fine? Why are you looking so pale and why aren't you talking? Did something happened?"
Umar asked me as he saw me after looking at the other four who shrugged and looked at me questioningly raising their burrows.

"I.....I am...m fine.."
I stuttered and took the seat beside Aina who passed me a glass of water which I gulped down hurriedly.
"You don't look fine to me. Tell me if something happened. Are you feeling sick or something"
Umar stressed his words frowning slightly at me.

Befor I could reply the door of the office room was banged open and all of us composed hurriedly except me as I was again shocked to core this time for a different reason.
There stood in front of me was Hashir Wali khan dressed in his three piece Armani suit same as I saw him minutes ago.

Only this time he was wearing glasses and instead of a smirk on his face there was seriousness on his face. I couldn't help but stare at him. His face was devoid of any emotions. His jet black hair were messy like he kept running his hand in his hair. He had the light stubble that suit him perfectly. His glasses had black frame which suited his hazel eyes perfectly and his crooked nose stead proud against his cheeks and dark red full lips.

A light nudge on my side brought me out of my thoughts. I looked at Aina who nudged me and wiggled her eyebrows at me. Then I realized what I was doing. I was staring at him for minutes in front of my friends who were looking at me with raised burrows while Umar was a different case. His jaw was clenched and his hans were in fists while his nose was flaring. I'm sure if only we were alone at the moment not in front of sll friends he would've punched Hashir while Hashir looked unbothered.

I looked at Umar who looked at me and then Hashir. He looked away but I know he know the reason now why I was so tensed. Hashir looked nonchalant as he took the seat in front of us on the head chair and it was another shock for me. I gasped aloud and all the heads turned towards me. My friends looked at me warily while Hashir has a smug look on his face. The idiot was enjoying my condition.

Hashir cleared his throt and started.
"Good morning everyone! I'm Hashir Wali khan. The CEO and MS of this hospital and Wali group of hospitals which I'm sure you all know."
He stopped and looked at me for a minute and then continued with the introduction while I couldn't help but hold my gasps. I didn't believe myself that I applied for the internship in his hospital. That was the reason why everyone was staring at us when he bumped into me. He was the freaking  CEO of this hospital.

"I've made this hospital with a lot of struggles and sacrifices. This isn't just a hospital for me but it's my home and my dream come true. It's one of the best hospitals in the country as you all know. And I would always like to keep it that way.
You five are hired for the internship as you are the toppers of your university and have a lot of potential. Mistakes aren't allowed here and I'm sure you all know it and keep it in your mind before start working here.
Your schedule of working hours in wards and all other details will be provided to you shortly after the meeting according to your preferences. Make sure you work hard and don't disappoint the hospital and me but most of all Allah. As we all are responsible for what we do in front of Him. You are dismissed"

He said finishing and looked at all of us.All of us got up from our seats but before we could move out his voice again echoed in the office.
"Ms. Dua stay here and all of you go out"
He said looking at me while I glared at him and all of my friends looked confused at me. Before I could reply or say something Umar replied furiously.

"No. She won't. She'll go with us"
He said in a booming voice while all my friends looked at him shocked as Umar was never a serious type of guy. He was always goofing around and having fun . He was never angry. And seeing a furious Umar with shouting voice was a very rare sight to see.

Hashir looked at Umar challengingly like telling him to say another word and he's dead. That was what I never want. For them to fight over me.
"I'll stay. You all can go"
I said in a calm voice while Umar glared at me and Hashir had a winning look on his face.

"But....."
Before Umar could say even a word Zohaib dragged him out as I gestured him to take Umar out and I was thankful for that. I sighed and closed the door and sat in front of him and looked at him who smirked and said
"So where were we?"
