The Story: Chapter Three

I sighed, looked at the doctors who were now happy to see the recovery. They sucked the extra blood in the cavity with suction and now it was time to close and stitch up the patient. i was still looking at the patient's heart. 'I asked, is my heart also like this?' One of the surgeon looked at me with confused looks and said to his technical man to give me the surgeons sterile gloves. I was surprised that why he want me to wear them. He turned towards me and said, ''come and touch his heart and feel his heart beating.''  I quickly did what he said, I touched his heart and it was...the epic feeling! ''Wow! it's beautiful.'' I then moved back and he let me stand next to me to see how he was suturing up the patient.

Everything was done, i was now sitting in student's rest room for my turn to change. I went inside the small room and got freshen up. As soon as i came outside i saw the same doctor, i thought to go and thank him for that courtesy and concern. And for encouraging me. I went up to him and said, ''I am really thankful to you, Dr?... you let me touch that man's heart.'' He removed his mask and O.T cap and smiled. He was so cute, i thought. I too smiled. He turned his face towards me and said, ''Dr. Yasir! Surgical intern. well, I didn't do anything for you, you did it for yourself. because if you ever will strive for something and show passion about it, then only other person would feel what you need, will see your desire and might give you what you want. like i did. and i have been through your age i understand very well. i saw you admiring that heart as if your heart is no more in you.'' He laughed. ''Dr. Yasir, i do have my heart and that too in a perfect function. Tanks anyways.'' I replied in a very lively tone and made my way to the cafeteria. This Day was surely bright!

I was listening songs on my ipod, and it fell, luckily someone caught it and i looked at the person. A beautiful short haired girl in a high pony tail was standing in front of me. I asked, ''How may i help you?'' she said, ''You were there in my father's operation?'' I didn't reply, just looked at her seriously. ''I mean the bypass operation held 5 hrs before? actually i want to thank each and every doctor. Thank you so much, i can't tell you how happy i am. and i remember when you came out of the Operation Theater, you were the one who patted my shoulder and asked me to smile.. I am so very much thankful to you.'' She said all that i one go! Oh My God, this girl does have lungs or nor? I smiled at her and asked her to sit. ''Yes, i was there and yeah i'm the same doctor who came out and asked you to smile but see i am ethically a medical student so ... anyways how is your father doing?'' She replied spontaneously as she was expecting this question, ''Very well, and he sent this to you and it’s from my side as well. I raised my one eye brow.

I saw a small box i took it and opened it and saw a beautiful pair of ear rings and necklace of pearls. I was shocked and said, ''Sorry but see i can’t take this.'' she insisted me to take it, ''please, you are just like my sister, we lost her, she has a hole in her heart and she died after her operation, if you take this i would think i got my sister, btw my name is Aliya if you want to remember me.'' She was almost about to cry, I was so touched and got all emotional but i didn't cry, i had to be strong. ''Aliya, you are my sister now, and you know what i don't even have a real sister.. i smiled widely and hugged her.''We will be ssters from today, btw i just got admission here too, first year, so i hope you could bare me whenever this little sister of your's irritate you.''  I laughed and congratulated her. We talked for an hour and then i headed towards the college lawn. I was the time for the last lecture of this day and then i would run towards my home sweet home, i smiled and made plans in my mind how should i tell everything to my mom and everyone at home. This was indeed fascinating for me. I had seen First bypass surgery in my life, live and toughed his beating heart with my fingers. Omg i was still in a shock, pinch me somebody i thought.
