"Finally time to go home!" I mumbled exasperated.
"Mr. Malik!!"
Oh shoot. "Um... hi?"
"Another patient has just come in. Should I let him in or tell him to come back tomorrow?" My father's manager asks.
I sigh. "Send him in."
This week was going to be really a busy one for me. As my dad has some other work to be done, I had to tend to all these patients myself, not alone of course, with all the nurses and my dad's manager, just in case.
A little boy comes in with his dad. I smile at them.
"Sir, you are Doctor Hisham right? I've been calling you for weeks! I've heard that you are a specialist in dental implants! I and my family are very new to this city, we have no idea who you were! And God! You are such a young one! Are you married by any chance? I hope not! My cousin who's only twenty four is looking for a handsome and great man! You sure are the one for her!"
He speaks non stop and then finally breaths.
"Um... actually I----" I begin calmly.
"Or forget about that! I'll just tell my relatives to call you and ask for your hand. That was not why I came here though! My son has some serious tooth ache! Like it hurts really bad! He screams as well. I guess he has some cavity something! Please treat it. Also---"
"Please let me speak first! I---"
"Doctor! You do something for my son's tooth first, then YOU SPEAK! Pah! Doctor's these days. I will reconsider letting you marry my cousin. See how you speak to an elderly man! Pah! Pah! Doctor---"
"Sir, I----"
"Ah there, easy boy easy! I won't say anything bad about you to them! Don't worry! But now stop all the nonsense and cure my son! Pah! These doctors!"
"I AM SHEHZAD."
"Huh."
I resist my urge to glare at him.
He steps back.
Another step back.
Another.
"Uh. Uh. Sonny, let's run."
And with that, they ran.
.........
!!!!?
Life, Shehzad, life.

After a tiring day, I went home, my eyes almost closing with exhaustion.
Only to be met with a crying Bushra.
"Shezy!!!! You are back! I was calling you for almost two hours! Seriously, don't you have any manners!? You should have just texted me that you were going to be late! I even made dinner for you!" She cries, hugging me.
