Intercepted

Sarah was anxiously waiting for her name to be announced. Today was the Hospital's foundation day celebration and names of the doctors who are promoted will be announced today. She was preparing for this day for the past 2 years. If she gets it today, she will be the youngest Consultant of her country.  It was a big day for her. Her hard work, sleepless nights, her sacrifices....all paved way for her to be seated here today. And here it comes,  the anchor came to announce the name, 'This year's promotion goes to Dr Onur Ali'  She closed her eyes in disappointment and despair.  She was better than all of them. Better than Dr Onur. She knew it and even they know that.  But still...! She got up from her seat and exited the hall, amidst the ongoing applause. Another year!!  'f**k !! f**k !! ' she shouted while hitting on the steering wheel and drove back to her home.  ********* Sarah was a surgeon by profession. She was young, beautiful and single, waiting for the perfect time, that is, after her dream post to fall in love and get married. She knew she was losing on time, but she didn't believe in doing things half-heartedly.  Now the disappointment of waiting another year was weighing down heavily on her.  Next day, she was back on her job, seeing patients when she got a message from the Chairman, to meet him. She was surprised by this sudden attention but decided to find out the reason. She was invited for the dinner that night.  She wondered on suddenly getting his attention, but didn't ponder much. ********** Later in the evening, she decided to wear a sexy but elegant dress, which accentuated her curves and complimented her eyes. She left her hair loose after curling them at the ends, applied some makeup and left for her date. She was indeed, looking ravishing. She parked her car at the hotel parking lot and headed for her date. She was a bit surprised by the change of venue from the lounge to his suite. But, she decided to go ahead with it anyway. It was a 5-star hotel, with luxury and richness resonating from every pore. There was an exclusive lift for suites, all shiny and glass. She pressed the bell on reaching the door and was received by her host, Naimat Aliyar, the chairman. 'Mr Aliyar!' 'Dr Sarah !' 'Hope your journey was comfortable ', he said while receiving her coat and touching her shoulders deliberately.  'Yes, thank you', she didn't miss his touch. Pervert! 'We will dine here ?' She asked with a raised eyebrow.  ' Were you expecting something else !' He countered. 'Well .... !! ', she couldn't find appropriate words to express her dissent.  'By the way,  I am really sorry for you, that you couldn't get promoted yesterday!' He said while looking suggestively at her. She remained silent while observing him, it didn't take her long to understand the objective of this meeting.  'Well, I can really help you in that ', he said circling her and suggesting her the obvious. 'Really ?' She feigned her ignorance.  He came near her and touched her shoulders, trying to pull her into his embrace.  It was the last straw for her, she clenched her jaw and slapped him hard on the face. 'You low life scum! How dare you! What do you think you are ??' She gritted her teeth. He was stunned by her reaction, nobody ever dared to raise their voice in front of him, least of all a slap.  Sarah collected her bag and left for the door, ' No wonder, your wife left you.' She opened and banged the door on his face. 'Sarah, you will regret the day you were born !,' He thought maliciously.  *********** Next Day, Sarah was busy in seeing patients when an army attendant came with an urgent announcement that the government is asking support for their war-torn neighbouring country. They wanted some doctors and nurses to volunteer and serve the citizens there as their healthcare was already destroyed by the rebels.  Unrest started among the medical staff, doctor or no doctor...   everybody loved their life...and going inside a war zone, voluntarily was not a joke. There was an uneasiness, as nobody was willing to sacrifice themselves,  so none volunteered.  It was later decided, that the head of the different departments will name a few people from their department so that a team could be formed and sent on a mission. Sarah was also not indifferent from the chaos surrounding her and hoped for peace and safety for her colleagues. She knew it was not an easy task to go to a place with no security or facilities...and still being responsible for someone's life when you are not sure about your own.  A meeting was called for all the doctors,  nurses and paramedics.  After an Introduction, the promises of better future,  heftier packages and safe return under government's protection were laid out to lure the staff.  But still, no one came forward. The younger and new employees were more worried because their chances of being sent were higher than the older ones.  So finally, the heads started to announce the names. A total of 10 staff members were being called out, 3 doctors, 4 nurses and 3 other supporting staff.  Suddenly, Dr Sarah 's name was called out at the end as the team leader, by Naimat Aliyar. All were shocked because she was one of the best doctors of this hospital,  and sending her to the war zone was like sending her to death bed.  'Do you have any objections, Dr Sarah?', He asked with an evil grin.  'No Mr Aliyar, ' she replied with an equally bright smile.  They had to leave after a week. They began preparations and also said their goodbyes. One night before their departure, she received a called from Naimat, 'Do you wish to change your mind now Dr Sarah? You are too young to die in such a gruesome way. And I can recommend you for your desired post as well !' 'Why don't you shove that offer, up your ass Naimet? Let me tell you something...Spending six months out there is not a big deal and in fact, that will give us recognition from the government, which actually, will be quite helpful when I will tell them about your blackmailing ways and how you took advantage of young girls. You just wait and watch...  I will not spare you. And regarding my promotion, I will get it sooner or later. It's just a matter of time !' With that, she cut the phone  'Bastard !'  ☆☆▪︎▪︎▪︎Plz Vote & Comment ▪︎▪︎▪︎☆☆
