Dream a little dream

I put down the operation mask I was wearing when I'm finally outside the operation room. My eyes were searching for the relatives of the mother but then I saw none. It made me frown.

"Relatives of Yeri Kim, anyone?" I called out, still wondering around.

I frowned more when I get no response. There were people outside the operating room but none of them seemed to know Ms. Kim. I can't help but to wonder where are her relatives and where's her husband.

I turned my head to the nurse standing beside me.

"Where's her relatives?"

She bowed her head to me before answering my question. "Ms. Kim's husband was here earlier. I don't know where is he now, Doctor Park."

My eyebrow creased. I sighed. "Alright. Go to my office and tell me if the husband is already around. I will tell him what Ms. Kim needed."

She nodded. "Yes, Doctor Park."

"And where's the baby?"

"Already in the nursery room."

"Very well," I nodded slowly. "How about Ms. Kim? Is she already conscious?"

"Still sleeping, Doctor Park."

I nodded once again before finally marching to my office. My head was blank and occupied the whole time I was walking towards my office. Many people and patients recognized and greeted me but I just gave them my nod. I was too dazed and still in the state of shocked from what happened 10 hours ago. My body's tired and also, to my whole surprise, my mind. I'm not usually like this. But this is too confusing. It made me bring back everything from the past.

Right after I arrived from my office, I immediately sat from my swivel chair and buried my face into the table. The operation's tiring. The mother's baby is really hard to tamed. Besides, given that she had no one during her birth to the baby, it's very hard for her to pull out a bravery. But all in all, I'm proud for her and for the baby. They made it even if no one's with them.

My system's tired and exhausted. I want to get a lot of sleep and rest. But my mind won't cooperate. I was still thinking about everything from the past. Yeri Kim, the mother I gave birth to, made my memories trigger.

When I saw that it was her, I didn't hesitated to volunteer eventhough I know I wasn't the only one who's vacant. Even from what happened during Med. School, I was still willing to help her and do it whole heartedly.

When she came to the hospital, she had no one. She's wearing a maternal dress and a sling bag when she arrived at the hospital. She was shouting and screaming, seeking for help because she knows she's already giving birth.

"R-Rosé? Rosé Park from M-Med school? Is that you? Please... help me and my baby. I'm giving birth..."

She said please a lot of times and begged for my help. I didn't hesitated. But I was startled from her situation and that I saw her again. And for pete's sake, she's pregnant. I never thought that we would meet again.
