LOST YOU, FOUND HIM (a rediscovered love)

-6-

"Though we studied in the same university, we rarely talked." "Still you remember my name."

"Because I have a good memory." I stated when his lips spread across his ears. "And a really pretty face too." He added on while I chuckled. "Why are you here though?"

"I have joined this clinic and it's my first day as an orthopaedic." "Omg congratulations." I said while instantly giving him a friendly hug. "Thank you so much Kathy." He said as I broke the hug. "If you don't mind, Can we go for lunch right now?" "There is a Mexican restaurant near our clinic." "And I know you love Mexican food so much."

He said as I looked at him. "Yeah sure but how do you know I love Mexican food?" I raised my eyebrows. As he smiled

"Overheard a few people." "Who was it?" Curiosity took over me since I wanted to know who was so prying. "You talk too much." "Let's go, I'm really hungry and my stomach can burst any moment."

He said, sounding dramatic as I nodded. After a while started ranting at me about his whole day in this new work place while we made our ways out of the clinic.

After an hour, we were walking ahead and chit chatting. "Gosh my stomach looks like a pregnant belly now." Hearing that I couldn't unsuppress and howl out loudly. "My stomach has been hurting Abriel." "I can't anymore." "I wish I could stop but I love seeing you laugh." He spoke as I desisted for a moment. Recalling through my subconscious mind the same was said by Ryan. Years ago. I discarded my thoughts.

I perceived Abriel walking ahead of me and immediately opening the door for me. I chuckled while he was glancing at me. That's when I heard a voice. "Kathy!" I looked straight ahead. And saw Megan reaching out towards me. "Kathy, it's an emergency." "What is it?" "I will tell you everything just came with me now." I looked at abriel. "I'm sorry I guess it's a patient emergency."

"It's fine, I hope we see each other often." I smiled and Before I could reply to him back Megan held my hand and dragged me from there.

Megan kept walking ahead while holding my hand. "What is it?" "What emergency?" "Nothing." "Then why the fuck did you drag me?" I said furiously and could burst on her any moment. "I heard you went to have lunch with that dude." "Who is he?" "His name is Abriel." "And we used to study in the same University." "Though we weren't that close." "No wonder you agreed to have lunch with him so easily." She said while smiling hard.

"It was his first day and I didn't want to say No and sound rude." "Ohh but you seemed to enjoy his company a lot." "I saw you laughing around with him." "You know it's easy for me to socialise with anyone easily." "Anyways, I have something important to tell you."

She raised her eyebrows while looking at me. "What happened?" "Dr Elena wants you to report her on Ryan's health." "And she doesn't know yet that I have been going around his house and assisting him over his diet."

"Oh wait",she desisted for a while and looked at me with widened eyes. "Fuck, if she gets to know that you're going around his house without any autoritazation."

"It's gonna be a huge disarray." "Yeah" I said while looking at her. "So I thought after work today if you could come with me to his house and create a report so you can send it to Dr Elena?" "Of course, anyways I have to meet your childhood crush."

She said while slightly hitting on my arms as I rolled my eyes. "We have many patients to attend." "Let's go?" "Ahh I see someone is getting shy and trying to segue the conversation." Hearing that I smiled internally but, I looked at her as if she provoked me. "Keep babbling whatever you want to." "I have patients waiting." I said while stepping forward. "Wait for me." Eventually she came behind me.
