I wasn't feeling well and I had informed it on my message board. You need to follow me to get updates rather than commenting here because I am not supposed to DM you.

Everyone in the ward got still at his place. Some patients were asleep under the effect of medicines. They didn't bother with anything happening around. Those who were awake looked in his direction. They were shocked to see the polite, sweet and caring Dr. Zulaid in anger.
HO's held their breath in the fear of what was coming in their way. PG's who accompanied Zulaid for his round saw the HO's with sympathy in their eyes and awkward smiles. Their new favorite Juniors were going to get a high dose of insult from Zulaid.
Toba hy. Inhe kis ny kat lia subh subh. Inara also looked at him who was fuming in anger. It had been a long time since she had seen this side of him.
(What happened to him suddenly)
"Ye ward hy ya machli mandi?" He stared at everyone.
(Is this a ward or a fish market?)
Bare dinu bad apni joon main wapis aye hain miyan jee. She pressed her lips together in a thin line to hide her smile.
(He is behaving like that after ages)
She knew he couldn't scold her now. He was nothing but sweet to her these days. He couldn't say anything to her. She was ready to see everyone else getting scolded by him. It would be fun to watch everyone else getting scolded.
"If you are forgetting then let me remind you. You are here to work only. What the hell do you think you are doing here at this moment. Har koi apni dedh ent ki alag masjid bana ke betha hua hy. Jis ko dekho batoon main masroof hy. It's your first month of working as a doctor and you are behaving as if you are consultants already. Shame on you" He snapped at them.
(Everyone is busy talking in pairs)
"Had hy yar. Is admi se kuch bardasht nahi hota. Badtameez kahin ka" Dr. Hamza muttered to her in annoyance.
(I don't know what this stupid man problem is. He can't see anyone happy)
"You are right. He is so mean" Inara wanted to laugh but she couldn't. She was enjoying the situation more than anything. Bad mouthing about Zulaid with her colleagues was always her favorite thing to do.
"Madams if you are done with your meaningless gossip session then get back to your work because that is why you are standing here" He pointed at the two ladies who were embarrassed at his words.
"And you two" He then pointed towards his wife and the man standing next to her.
"Do I have to teach you how to work from scratch? Instead of doing your work, you are laughing here, disturbing the sick patients" He glared at them.
"Sir we were just discussing something for a bit" Inara asked him seriously. She couldn't understand why he was acting angry.
"You weren't just discussing and I could see that Dr. Inara!" He clenched his teeth.
Inara raised her eyebrows in amusement.
"Keep your friendships away from my department. Jis ko dekho picnic spot samjh ke betha hy. Badtameezi ki had hoti hy" He didn't avert his eyes from her.
(There is a limit to everything. Everyone is enjoying themselves as if they are here for picnic)
Inara looked around everyone was watching her as Zulaid's eyes were fixed at her. Anybody knew Zulaid was only mad at her.
"If you are so interested in spending your time in the ward then enjoy the extra call today" His words took life out of both of them. They were already dead by doing their usual calls, they couldn't afford extra calls.
"Babar change the roster for tonight. Dr. Hamza and Dr. Inara is keen to do an extra call tonight" He ordered and observed her shocked face.
She didn't expect such brutality from her loving husband.
How the hell and when did he change? She couldn't believe he did this to her.
"NO" Inara's eyes widened at his words.
"Excuse me" Zulaid crossed his arms at his chest and watched her challengingly.
Dr. Babar put his index finger on his lips to sush Inara from her stupidity.
"Stop this stupidity Inara! He will put you on the roster for another night" Hamza covered his mouth with his hand before muttering to her.
Inara glared at her husband who was waiting for her reply. He was messing with her and he was enjoying every bit of it. She could see this on his face.
"I am waiting for your explanation Dr. Inara!" He asked with a poker face.
"Nothing Sir!" She muttered.
"Good. Enjoy the call. I am sure you two will have enough time to laugh freely tonight" He uttered dead seriously.
"Start the round Babar!" He ordered his junior and walked to bed number 1. Everyone in the ward moved to the same bed. Inara took dead steps. She was getting mad at him who was now busy talking with a patient.
"Sir! This patient has one to two episodes of vomiting daily from a week. We have done some investigations and didn't find anything yet" The HO explained to him about all the investigations they had done yet.
"Get done with her endoscopy today" Zulaid ordered and talked to the mother of young girl for a couple of minutes.
They moved to the next beds and then at Inara's bed where no one came forward he asked.
"Whose bed is this?"
"Mine" She came out of her thoughts and quickly made a way to come at front.
"If this is your bed what were you doing at the back?" He asked strictly.
"Sir I-forgot" She mumbled.
"Dr. Inara you mean to say you forgot your patient" He said amusingly.
She narrowed her eyes at him but said nothing. It was better for her to shut up at the moment.
"Present your patient" He commanded.
She presented her patient effortlessly, looking straight into his eyes. She was proud of herself to be that much confident. She had a little smile on her face at the end when Zulaid nodded muttered good to her.
"What are you giving him?" He asked further.
"1 liter Normal saline and IV ceftriaxone" She showed him the daily chart from the patient's file.
"Good work doctor sahiba" He said normally before moving to the next bed.
Good. She mentally mimicked him. He was irritating her after a long time otherwise in the past few weeks he was nothing but soft and sweet to her.
After they were done with the round, she walked into his office but it was locked. He must be in the operation theater. She went to the OPD. It was her OPD today. The patient's load was high as usual. She was assisting Dr. Mustafa throughout the day.
"Take these medicines and come back after a week for follow up" She instructed and handed the prescription to the patient.
The beep of her cell phone took her attention. She thought it must be from her husband but it was from her colleague. Zulaid didn't message him today at all. He used to send her texts in his busy schedule but today he totally ignored her.
Had hy naraz main hoon. Mujhy manane ke bejae khud naraz mehbooba ban ke bethe hain. Bethe rahain phir. She put the cell phone on the table uninterestedly.
(It's me who should ignore him for his stunt but he is acting like an upset lover)
OPD ended at 2 pm and if her husband hadn't been mean to her earlier she would have left for home but now she had to stay at hospital till tomorrow morning.
She walked out of the OPD room with Dr. Mustafa and watched Zulaid, Azwa and her fellow HOs getting out of other surgery's OPD room.
Zulaid met hers as they came close.
"Azwa! Great work I must say" Zulaid said loudly to Azwa and stopped at his place.
"You efficiently diagnosed such a rare case. I am really impressed with your knowledge" He smiled from ear to ear.
Bateesi check karo zara. She narrowed her eyes at him.
(Just look at his smile)
"This means a lot Sir! I learned everything from you only" She chuckled lightly.
"Don't be modest Azwa!" He kept smiling at Azwa as if he had much time to waste at her.
"Dr. Inara I am asking something from you. Where are you thinking?" Dr. Mustafa waved his hand in front of her face.
"S-Sorry Sir! I just got lost. What were you saying. Please continue" She passed him an awkward smile.
"I asked you to make sure that patient Hussain's MRI has been done" Dr. Mustafa reminded her before leaving.
Inara took her steps behind Zulaid who was now walking alone to the parking lot.
"I am really impressed with your knowledge. You diagnosed such a rare case. You have much knowledge. Blah. Blah" She mimicked him walking exactly behind him.
Zulaid stopped at his place and turned around her who was standing with a frown on her forehead, arms crossed on chest.
"Kuch kaha" He acted innocent.
(Did you say anything)
"Apne kuch suna?" She clenched her teeth.
(You heard anything?)
"Han bohat kuch" He replied. He burnt in jealousy once again as he remembered her laugh.
(Yes a lot)
"Zulaid!"
"Inara!"
"I can't believe what you did to me"
"Kia masla hy?" He called it leisurely.
(What's the problem)
"It's you who had a problem in the morning. Why are you being mean to me for no reason?" She asked him seriously this time.
"So you don't even realize" He shook his head.
"What?" She shrugged her shoulders.
"Just enjoy your call sweetheart and don't forget to say my salam to your friend" He said to her before turning and walking away from her to the parking lot.
Oh. She understood what bothered him. She smiled behind him and promised herself to not talk to him again till he gets on his knees.
Can't help if you find this chapter shortð¥¹
How was the chapter?
Who thought Zulaid would act rude in jealousy. Whipped Zoi can't do this to his sweetheartð
Call is a type of punishment for HO's from their consultants. Has anyone faced it?
Poor Inarað
