At This Hour?...

Are you alright Sarah?' I asked as soon as I reached her table.

She was sitting with all blank expressions like a mannequin sitting on the chair, breathing.

And as soon as she saw me I thought she'll feel more relay but she got more worried. She stood up and said. 

'Emma doesn't take it anyways, we were just stuck in there, it's nothing like what you're thinking.' She said worriedly.

'He was just...he just was calming me down cause I'm..I'm afraid of darkness.' She further in one breath.

'It's alright..it's very alright, I'm not misunderstanding at all. Calm down and here drink this.' I said and handed over a bottle of water. 

She drank almost all the water present in it and finally she took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a bit. 

'Do you really trust me, Emma?' She asked and opened her eyes.

'Hmm. I trust you.' I said.

'But no one here trusts me, Mr. Niall doesn't trust me. His asperity shows that. What will I do now, Emma? It was the first day at this workplace and I'm already a person whose everyone is making fun of.' Said Sarah and put her face in her hands.

'I know he is austere' I said. 

'But I know how to cool him down too.' I said further in a sing-song way.

'How?' She said while her face was still covered with her hands.

'Work like a Trojan girl!' I said and she looked up. I winked and smiled at her and walked away towards the corridor in the left which leads to the lift.

As I walked five to ten steps away from her desk to the left I saw Niall standing. As soon as he saw me coming, he started looking at his phone.

I walked calmly towards him and crossed my arms and asked,

'So you were eavesdropping, huh?'

He got startled cause maybe he thought that his acting was natural of showing me that he was 'Just' standing there or he thought that I'm very bad at observing people. Well, whatever the reason was, here, either of them was wrong.

'What? Are you talking to me?' He said with that face of innocence that can make anyone fool. But I was a hard person to fall for it.

'No one else is standing in this lobby I guess.' I said and he coughed.

'Why would I eavesdrop to what two women are talking.' He said.

'Oh really! But I never told you that you were eavesdropping on women's conversation.' I said.

'Did I?' I self questioned in sarcasm that automatically irritated Niall.

'Get out of my way, I have a lot of work to do not so free like you.' He said and rushed out of there and this act of his made me smile.

'Oh! Niall, you're such a cute, aren't you?' I said.

Once again, it was a boring day and I was sitting in my cabin. My whole day passes by just checking the patients and treating them and there's no joy, no adventure, and nothing interesting. Being a psychologist is such a bore.

I was thinking in meditation keeping my hands on the table while my right hand was holding up my cheek. My meditation broke when someone knocked on the door of my cabin.

'Come in please' I said.

And the door opened and a person of average height came in. Wearing a white coat that suits only him in this whole hospital. He came in holding some papers in his left hand while the other hand was on his forehead, rubbing it. His dark brown eyes on which he was wearing his round spectacles were shining as always. His dark brown hair is just as same as his beautiful eyes were a bit messy just because it was the end of the day, maybe. But he was looking beautiful just so beautiful.

'Dr. Lisa .' He said with his glorious voice.

'I think you should have a look at this...' I heard till there and then I just got lost into his eyes and all of a sudden he said.

'So, what's your opinion?'

'Huh?' I said because I didn't hear anything about what he said.

'Oh! Dr. Lisa not again. You didn't hear what I was saying, right?' He said.

Yah! it happened earlier too when I got lost into him due to his voice and his visuals. I mean I can't help myself. It's like every time he calls my name I just can't concentrate whatever he is saying. I think he knows how to hypnotize me or any woman? No, he...he's not a Playboy type person. He is a very sweet and serious one. He doesn't have enough time to go around and play with girls. He is a busy person. But the thing is, this is true that whenever he speaks I just can't hear what he says it's like I get deaf for a while and my eyes get stuck on his face. Why does this happen? I think I know.

'Dr. Lisa, Are you listening?'

I cleared my throat and said,

'I was....thinking. Yah, I was thinking, and I heard everything you said..' I said and stood up keeping both the hands on the table, palms facing to the table.

'You can hand over me all the papers and I'll handle it. Don't worry at all.' I applied for my luck.

'Really? You can?' He said.

And I was surprised that I have a brilliant mind. Wow!! Lisa. You have great luck.

'I guess not until you hand me over the papers.' I said sarcastically. 

And bit my tongue cause this is the only thing which I can't help, my sarcasm. It always comes in between.

'Oh, yeah! sorry, here..here you go.' He said feeling a bit awkward and went out of the cabin.

Oh no! again, can anyone help my sarcasm.

I took a deep breath and took a glimpse at the paper. 

'Hmm...let's see. Patient name, Leo Rockwell. Age, 24, and the appointment...is of the day after tomorrow. Nice! On Sunday? You don't have such great luck Lisa, though.' I said and sighed in frustration.

'Now you should go home Sarah. Everyone's gone already.' Said Emma to me when we were discussing something.

'But the work? I mean, It's still left.' I said.

'Oh don't you worry. I see you need to rest after this hectic day. I know it wasn't so nice for you. Go home, get some rest, and come tomorrow and start with a fresh morning.' She said with a sweet smile, a smile to which I wasn't able to deny...

I went home and tried to sleep but after that lift incident, I was awakened again and again by my best friend, nightmares. So, at around 1'O clock I decided to watch some telly. I sat on the sofa in the Hall with some snacks and started to watch the telly. As soon as I got into the drama I was watching a knock on my door broke my concentration. I just wondered,

Who could be here at this hour?...
