Inara was busy taking history from a patient. Her patient was an old man who was fluent in Punjabi only. The patient couldn't speak Urdu nor his attendant. Inara was having a hard time, getting the useful information out of him.
Ya Allah! Ye patient mere hi hisse main ana tha. Tumhari qismat hi nirali hy!! She thought about looking at her patient.
She was still busy with the patient when the clock turned to 9 and Dr. Zulaid walked into the surgical ward with his team. His fiance was walking step by step with him. It seemed like they were discussing a patient but Inara was sure they were talking about themselves.
Eweu! Zara bhi achy nahi lag rahe sath. She narrowed her eyes at them.
(They aren't looking nice together)
Dracula ke sath to koi kharant aurat hi jachti jese ke Dr. Maiza. She giggled pairing him with a Gynecologist in their hospital who was a very strict woman.
"What's so funny Dr. Inara?" She stopped laughing when she heard his voice. She turned around just to see his face.
He was watching him, arm crossed at his chest. His team was standing behind him. Inara didn't realize when he reached her bed which was the 2nd one in the ward.
Dr. Azwa passed her a small smile. They both knew that they were going to be sister in law's but they haven't talked about it yet. If it wasn't about Zulaid, Inara would have already made friends with her.
"Nothing Sir!" She muttered.
"There must be something funny. Tell us too! We also want to know what's funny" He asked her seriously. He wasn't joking and acted like a professor.
"Sir apko hassi nahi, gussa aye ga" She clicked her tongue with amusement.
(Sir you would be mad at me)
"Why so?" He was asking leisurely like he had much time to waste at her.
"Sir kyu ke ap ko to hassi ati hi nahi hy" She said like an innocent child this time.
(Because you don't usually laugh)
Everyone started giggling. Zulaid turned around to see them. The giggling sound vanished in seconds. Nobody was doing anything now. Their eyes were fixed at his annoyed face.
"Is this how you behave around your seniors. Should I have to teach you manners now. Show some professionalism. You are behaving as you aren't standing next to a patient but in your bedroom. You all are nothing but mere disappointment!!" He pressed his lips together, controlling his anger.
Ufff! Hasse hi to hain bechare ab kiya jan le ga kia Dracula!!! Inara gulped down her saliva.
(We just laughed. Does Dracula want to take our lives for just giggling around him)
"Sir! Can we continue the round?" Dr. Azwa took his attention and asked him sweetly.
Sir ki bachi. Bohat zuban chalne lag gai hy inki. Inara didn't like her interfering even though Azwa was just trying to save them from her scary fiance.
(She started speaking a lot)
He nodded at her.
Hhun! Dekho to zara joru ka ghulam. Inara saw them, disliked.
(Just look at him and how obedient is he towards here)
Zulaid averted his gaze back to her. He glared at her who was now watching him with puppy eyes. He asked her to present her patient's history.
"Sir! I couldn't take history because the patient and his attendant can't speak Urdu" She gave him an excuse.
"Dr. Inara! You are at a hospital, dealing with a patient. If a patient does not understand your language wouldn't you treat him. What a lame excuse. You could have arranged a person who could talk to the patient and his attendant. Was it so hard?" He wasn't going to leave them today especially her, jis ny bhiron ke chate main hath dala tha.
(Who provoked him)
"You are right Sir!" She nodded with a poker face. Why couldn't she think of such a solution? It wasn't that hard.
"Tell me the diagnosis of this patient?"
He asked further.
"I could not talk to them so I don't know" She blurted out.
"Excellent! Don't you know how to read? Was reading the patient file also hard for you?" He held the patient's file from the foot side of the bed and raised it in the air.
Inara's lips formed an O.
"He has hepatocellular carcinoma. Tell me it's cause?" He bombarded another question at her.
For a few seconds, she couldn't comprehend his questions. She took another five seconds to think about the causes but as usual her brain stopped braining at the crucial time.
"Metastasis" Then she blurted out the reason without thinking as the clock was ticking.
Zulaid shook his head at her disappointed. He was really disheartened by her answer because she was his family member. He was worried for her.
"What do they even do Azwa? What have they studied in the previous years. Haven't I told you many times to not be lenient with them. Is this the way they would deal with the patients. They don't deserve any leniency. Give me their attendance list! Each one of you would prepare a topic I will assign. You have an hour to study everything you can about that particular disease. After that, I will take your class" He was really mad at her.
The whole batch was under pressure because of Inara. She was the center of their glares at the moment. She wanted to hide herself but she couldn't.
Zulaid held the attendance sheet and assigned different topics to each student. Inara couldn't get an easy topic. It was just not possible. Her eyes widened when she heard her topic. This scary man gave him the hardest topic in the batch.
Inara knew after an hour, she would face his wrath in the discussion room, where he would scold her in front of the whole batch.
She feared, thinking about the coming hour.
"Don't get so angry" She heard Dr. Azwa said to him. They were going out of the ward.
Janab gussa na karain to sans nahi ati inko. Ap ko bhi bohat maza any wala hy mohtarma! Fikar na karain! She stared at their backs.
(He couldn't survive if he didn't get angry. Don't worry you will also face his wrath in the coming days)
The hour passed in minutes and Zulaid walked into the discussion room at the exact time. He wasn't alone though.
Is bandi ki duty nahi hy kiya. Har jagah janab ab mehbooba ko sath liye ghoom rahe hain. Tobah kitna ashiq mizaj admi hy. She saw Dr. Azwa distastefully.
(Isn't she on duty. He roams everywhere with his lover accompanying him. Uff such an amorist is he)
He started asking questions from every student about their specific topics. It wasn't like he didn't say anything to them. He also showered his hospitality at them but he had some beef with Inara.
"Dr. Inara! Are you really looking forward to practice after graduation because I don't think you have any such intentions" He asked her at the end when she was done with her topic.
"I really don't want to Sir!" She didn't hesitate to refuse him.
"You shouldn't think like that Inara!" Azwa took part in conversation.
Ap bhai a jain! Behti ganga main hath dhone. Inara stared at her.
(You also wash your hands as the river flows)
"Why don't you want to practice?" Azwa asked further.
"I don't like Doctors!" Zulaid was amused by her answer.
"You shouldn't generalize" Azwa smiled at her.
"Everyone has his own opinion ma'am!" Inara muttered.
"Of course but you aren't even graduated yet. You should decide after getting exposure" Azwa politely asked her.
"I have much exposure ma'am. I have a doctor at home who doesn't care about anyone but himself. I don't want to be a mean person like him who discriminates between people" She literally threw daggers at him.
Azwa was shocked to hear her as she knew who Inara was referring to. Moreover, Zulaid glared at her.
"I would like to see you in my office Dr. Inara! Follow me!" Zulaid rose up from and instructed her.
Fudge. Itna jazbati hony ki kiya zaroorat thi bewaqoof aurat!!! Inara clicked her tongue.
(What was needed to be sentimental, you idiot)
