Purple Romance

Chapter 45: Meeting the same person three times in a day is fate 2

Ad-Din sat inside his car and watched as Maria walked across a restaurant that wasn't so far away from the company's building and he scoffed.

His actions then looked so childish and petty that even Paul found it unbelievable. He couldn't understand why his boss would stoop so low as to bully a little woman like the one walking across the road.

It was now clear to Paul that his boss had some sort of relationship with the woman based on his actions so far, but, he couldn't understand why his boss hid away from her. He even allowed her to take the CEO's elevator which was out of bounds to employees.

Paul looked at his boss who sat at the backseat. His entire focused was on that woman and his facial expression was akin to that of mockery and he seemed to be enjoying doing what he did to the woman.

''First hospital''. Ad-Din looked away and rolled up the window after speaking and Paul nodded his head.

"'Yes, sir''. Paul looked at the driver beside him and the driver nodded and drove away.

Maria looked for a quiet and serene corner in the restaurant and sat down. She looked at the menu book and raised her hand signalling the waiter to come.

After ordering her food which was a simple vegetable salad and sandwich plus a mug of milk drink, Maria started to munch her food when her phone buzzed. She placed the sandwich back into the plate and picked the phone answering it.

''Hello, Kobby. Not yet. I don't know anything anymore, don't ask me how it went. I haven't even done as much as enter the interview room''.

At the hospital.

Kobby was waiting for his next patient as he spoke to Maria on the phone. He placed the phone on loudspeaker as he spoke and looked at the test results of the next patient.

''What? So, you haven't even gone inside yet and they told you, you were going to be the last person?''

''I know, right? Say, do you think the reason why they pushed me to the back is because of my age or my resume? I find the whole thing strange, Kobby''. Maria complained over the phone.

''I don't think that is the case. You just relax. It might turn out to be nothing serious. Have you eaten yet? Should I get you something after I'm done with my last patient?'' Kobby asked.

''No, you must be tired after handling so many patients this morning alone. I'm already at the restaurant across the company. I have something to eat. Just that, I don't really have that much appetite after hearing I was going to be the last person''.

''I understand. Just relax and go inside and ace that interview. I will bring you and Tiana to eat good food afterwards''.

''Alright, then, I will keep you on the phone anymore. Go and attend to your patients. I will call you when I'm done''.

''Okay, take care, bye''. Kobby hung up and the door opened and a young man walked in dressed in black suit and pants.

''You must be Mr. Ad-Din Denarius? Hi!!'' Kobby spoke to the man and he nodded and sat on the patient chair.

''Yes, my cousin made an appointment here in my name. You are doctor Kobby?'' Ad-Din asked and looked at the man. He looked oddly familiar but he couldn't pinpoint where he saw him before.

''I looked at your MRI and other test results from 8 years ago that you had the accident and compared it with the recent one you took. I will take you through what you need to know and how it will go''. Kobby said.

''Sure, but, will it take long? I have a busy schedule today'' Ad-Din asked.

''Not at all since I am going to be your attending physician from now onwards, we can always meet based on our schedules. You can book an appointment at the front desk according to your schedule if you are satisfied with my way of treatment after here at the front desk. I usually take my patients through what they are going through, and explain to them about everything they are facing. Some terms I might mention that you may not understand but at the end of the day, I believe you will have a vast idea of the kind of things you are facing''.

''Sure, no problem''.

Kobby took Ad-Din through the forms of treatment that existed.

Individuals who experienced a serious motor vehicle accident [MVA] are at increased risks for psychological problems especially Posttraumatic Stress Disorders also known as PTSD. PSTD is an anxiety disorder that often follows a traumatic event involving actual or threatened death, serious injury or threat to the physical integrity of oneself or other. For most people, the symptoms of PTSD following a serious MVA may include psychologically re-experiencing the trauma thus, intrusive thoughts about the accident, distressing dreams about the accident and persistent avoidance of thoughts or situations associated with the accident.

Ad-Din watched with interest as Kobby explained everything as if he were the one going through the pain. He felt that Kobby was doing a better job than the previous ones who only asked him to go for body scans and check-ups all the time.

Through Kobby's explanation of the kind of pain he was going through, he was able to agree with him totally and decided to take him up.

Maybe, he might just be the one to help him out of his dilemma.
