She looked deep into his eyes and she could get that he meant it . His request was not only serious but sincere as well . So nodding her head, she said,
"Yes, I promise . "
Dr . Nelson looked at her for a while and then picked up his phone and texted Dr . Oshana .
"Hey there! Dr . Nelson here . Do you have some time slot open that I can have today evening?" - Dr . Nelson .
The moment DO . Oshana saw his message on her phone, she became all ecstatic and why wouldn't she be? Afterall Dr . Nelson was one of the hottest doctors in New York and she had a big-time thing for him . So even though she had patients lined up in the evening, she replied,
"I am free after six today . Anything in particular that you would like to discuss? Any particular case of interest?" - Dr . Oshana
The way he had asked and the Dr . Nelson that she knew, she was unequivocally sure that it was something about discussing some case because of the reputation Dr . Nelson carried . He was known as a very reserved man in his fraternity although he was the total opposite with his ways in which he behaved with Akira .
"It has nothing to do with any case of any patient . " - Dr . Nelson
When she saw this message, she left the patient that she was attending and called Dr . Nelson directly .
As his cellphone buzzed with the call, Akira got a bit tensed as she wasn't sure if Dr . Nelson would be able to handle it . He was a nice sort of a guy so she had no idea if he had in him to pull this up .
AdvertisementDr . Nelson raised his palm a bit, indicating her to relax as he picked up the call .
"Hello . "
"Hello, Dr . Nelson . Sorry if I interrupted, but texting is really not my forte . "
"Neither it is for me, but assuming that you would be busy, I thought it was the best option . I didn't want to disturb you in any way you know . "
Akira smiled as she heard him speak because she knew that he was drawing her . Slowly but in a very adept way . So relaxing her posture a bit she leaned back on her chair to enjoy the show .
"Oh, that's really thoughtful of you . "
"Oh come on . You would have done the same . "
"Maybe? But first of all, I would have needed a rock-solid reason to call you for that . "
Then taking a deep breath Dr . Nelson said,
"Well, I have a pretty small reason . Unfortunately, it's my birthday today . Every year ever since . . . Every year I find a reason not to celebrate . But I am done with that . I don't like hanging out with anyone who will keep asking me questions about my scarred past . So I thought maybe I could have a drink or two with you . Only if you are open for it . "
"I would love to . "Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
She answered without skipping even a second in between .
"Then I will pick you up sharp at five forty-five from your clinic . "
"I will be waiting . "
"Thanks for agreeing to celebrate this day with me . It means a lot to me Dr . Oshana . "
"Call me Oshana and I will say yes for anything that you ask Dr . Nelson . "
Dr . Nelson heard her and took a deep breath and said,
"See you soon . "
And then he disconnected the call .
Akira smiled and said,
"Well, that was way smoother than I expected . "
"Really?"
"Yeah, I mean the way you messed her up by telling it's your birthday today . Genius !!! Now I am pretty sure that you will be able to pull this off . I will better run now and make the necessary arrangements . "
Saying that Akira got up from her seat to leave .
Dr . Nelson looked at her happy face and got up . He wasn't sure how to put it so he said,
"I didn't mess up with her . "
"What do you mean?"
"It's really my birthday today . "
Saying that he slightly tilted his head and looked at her . He could see the happy shades departing from her face as he spoke .
"I am so sorry . I didn't know . "
"I do not expect you to know when my birthday is Akira . "
Saying that he smiled but she could see the pain in his eyes . She realized at that moment that everything that he had just said, was the truth . All these years after Alita, he had actually never celebrated his birthday and here she thought that he had plated a nice cover story .
Taking a deep breath, she looked at him and said,
"Happy Birthday Jaby . "
Absorbing those words and that face of hers, he suppressed all the pain that he was feeling at that moment and said,
"Thanks, Akira . "
Continuing looking at her . he said,
"No need to worry about arranging for the truth serum . I have a friend . . . "
But his voice just trailed off as he was embraced tightly in her arms .
For a second, he lost the touch with the present . For a second he forgot what pain was .
"Happy Birthday"
And saying those words she detached from him and walked out of the room .
