Meeting him
Hannah POV
His health condition is really good, No injury from the last two years. His arm was fractured 4 years back in an accident. No health issues, no diseases No tradegies No stresses Nothing. So what does he need counselling for. I was deeply thinking about all this when i heard a knock. I said “come in”.
Mr George Woodsen, entered in. In a black suit, aged around 58 entered in, with him entered a women who who was also near 55, looked like his wife. With them came in Ben woodsen, A very Handsome and attractive man, wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts. His eyes were brown, aged between twenties.
“Hello. We are here to meet Mr. John desai”. george said.
“ He is a little busy, on a round, may i know what this is in reference to.” i said.
“Call him Now” he said arrogantly. I was not surprised as being rich was meant to be rude.
I turned to the phone and called receptionist to tell Dr John that some of his visitors are waiting for him.
“He’ll be there in few minutes, please sit down” i said.
The couple nodded and went to the sofas. The were so concerned about thier son if he was still a kid. I decided to not take more interest until and unless Dr john does not meet them.
While i was arranging all the files for today’s patients, i felt someone’s strong gaze at me. Mr Ben was looking at me constantly. Our eyes lock, i dont know why but could not break off the contact, but i guess he was facing the same problem.
Few minutes of stare vanished when Dr John entered the clinic. He gave me deadly glare and went to the woodsens immediately.
“Hello, Mr george, its my pleasure to meet you” Dr said.
“When i told we will be here why were not you here already for us” Mr george said.
“Im sorry i had an emergency, i patient needed me urgently.” Dr said
“so are you saying that you are cancelling on me because of others” G woodsen said.
“No No, i would not be able to talk to ben today, But my junior would,Dr Hannah” Dr called me there and glanced at me.
“Hannah why did you not told them what we did agreed on today” Dr said to me. i can sense the tone it was scaring.
“They requested to see you before i could tell them” i said as politlely as i could.
“She would counsel Ben. Trust me she is really good and smart.” I felt like Ben chuckled but ignored.
“I hope she is” G woodsen said.
With that Dr john left the room, leaving me with the woodsens.
“So how are you Mr John? “ i asked, but he did not reply.
i cleared my throat, to bring him back from the wonders he has been into. Was i an alien that he had never seen before who looks like this.
“Dr Hannah my son is perfectly fine, He is good in every aspect whether it is academics or sports, but today while we were having a small family arguement, we saw him feel a little unwell, he was lost He cried, he never acts like that, He acted like he was numb, and was not replying to us. I called my family doctor he said he needed counselling, to know what is bothering him.” George said.
i listened and then his mom said “ then we heard about Dr John so please help our son”
“Ohh okay! so you two wait outside, ill have a word with him alone.” i said. when we studied psychology all i knew was, whatever story they were telling did not match the body language of his son. He was calm and looked totally perfect. Well i cleared my mind and said “what is your name?”
He did not reply just looked at me, i waved my hand in front of his eyes and “you said something” he said quickly.
“Yes i did, your name?”
“Ben woodsen”
“Age?”
“27”
“your interests?”
“Business”
“So what is really going on in your head, what is the stuff that is bothering you” i asked.
“Nothing is” he replied casually.
I raised my eyebrows and told him “according the little story you parents just told me, it seems like there is something”
“i just pranked them, im completely fine” he said giving out a bright smile. He was handsome there are no doubts about it.
I gave him a very confused look.
“My parents were having a fight, My mom was leaving the house, i have a family which i dont want to fall apart, i did not know what to do so i acted they way my dad just told you. it was all impulsive” he explained.
“Ok thankyou so much for wasting my time, Beacuse of you Dr john is angry at me for keeping you rich freaks at wait please see yourself out” i said angrily
“im sorry” he said.
“your sorry would not fix my issue. Dr john is very angry at me, its just my 2nd day of job, and im gonna lose it thanks to you” I said.
“I will fix this, you job will remain with you, but for that please help continue with this. I love my parents and dont want to seem divorced, we have a family, A happy one” he pleaded.
Although i was angry at him, But a happy home is something i dont have in life, and it would please me to be the one who saves it from becoming a family like i have.
While leaving he asked me something which confused me like hell
“ you are still so beautiful my Hannah” he said with glitters in his eyes while whispering ‘ my hannah’ but was loud enough whisper to give me goosebumps “you don’t remember me right?” He frowned before i could say something he left the room putting me in deep pit of confusion.
