The graduating students were still hitting the dance floor and soon, the disc jockey swapped the disco music to a ballroom song.Everyone was expected to grab his date and move his body according to the rhythm. Some of the students in the hall who were hanging by the corners rose to their feet and were soon dancing with their dates.Ken held Jane by the right arm and led her to the center of the stage. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and was soon lost in her eyes.Jane was dressed in purple silk that had an opening on the bag. The dress was a long one. It stretched to the soles of her feet and looked tight in her but didn't after her motion in any way.They danced for a few minutes before the disc jockey changed it to jazz music. Some of the exhausted couples left the stage to catch their breaths but there was no stopping for Ken and Jane. They were dancing their hearts out and were bent on making every moment count.They remained on the dancefloor and danced for about fi

After eight long hours of standing, sweating profusely, and taking deep breaths, the surgery conducted on Mr. Miles Dwanye, the man with the brain tumor was successful.The operation was carried out by three doctors. Mrs. Dwanye had asked Ken to lead the operation so the moment Dr. Odonnel arrived at the hospital, she was greeted by the information to which she subscribed.However, Dr. Oddonnel wondered why the patient's relative will request that a young doctor with barely enough experience be entrusted to the care of her husband when they were enough experienced hands on deck.After the surgery came to an end, the exhausted doctors told the nurses to wheel the man to a private ward after they were satisfied with his system and ensuring he was stable.Ken moved to a corner and took off his gas blue scrub. He was sweating as hell and his back was aching. He rested his back against the wall and began taking off his gloves like Dr. Brown and Odonnel were doing.Dr. Odonnel strode to Ken

Ken tried to call Cassie's phone number but again, it wasn't going through. He tried calling her line several times but it wasn't going through.He dropped the phone to his lap and threw his head backward. He was growing lonely by the day.He could tell that his job at Raspberry was influencing his life thereby affecting the people he cared about. There was Cassie who he was barely in touch with on one hand and there was Jane, the love of his life who he felt he was being unfair to her."Maybe you should give her a call." Ray hinted and cleared his throat loudly.Ken sighed. He knew Ray was asking him to call Jane."Her voice might make you feel better.""Well, I might just try," Ken replied and decided to give her a call.He dialed Jane's number with eager eyes cast on the screen, hoping she would pick up the call but she didn't. He lowered the phone to his chest and flung a question at Ray."Do you think maybe she's mad at me? She's not picking up her calls."Ray took a sharp turn.

Ken was about to take off her spectacles when she grabbed his right hand.Everyone was watching with astonishing eyes.With a bright smile, she mumbled. "Let me do you the honor."She released his trembling right hand and watch him lower it to his lap slowly.She took off her dark shades and shook her head, causing the strands of hair that had covered a part of her face to clear off.She was now visible. Not just to Ken but to everyone."Jane!" He gasped and began to stagger backwards.From the moment she spoke, his senses picked up the voice as Jane's but he had his doubts until she spoke again.Ken tried to speak but no words came out of his mouth. He was stunned beyond words and his lips were trembling."Impossible!" He spat as he stared at the woman standing before him with a dropped jaw.When he saw her black silky hair, he wasn't sure whether she was his Jane until curiosity moved him to take steps toward her, and now that she had taken off the spectacles shielding her eyes, he

Every step Ken took toward his office felt heavy. It was as if a log was attached to his feet. His legs were not only feeling heavy but so was his heart. The organ in his chest felt congested and he couldn't wait to get to his office.He came across a group of male nurses down the hallway but his attention was far from their cheerful gestures. They waved at him but he didn't even turn to stare at them. However, he could figure out what they were talking about.The assistant director!Everyone in the hospital was talking about the new assistant director.Ken walked past them. He could hear them whispering behind him."Don't you think the reason why Dr. Ken walked up to her was that he couldn't resist her hotness?"They broke into a laugh."She's fierce and that's my kind of woman. I wouldn't mind trying my luck on her.""She's the fucking assistant director and who are you? A bloody nurse." his colleague teased.Ken fastened his steps, got to his door, and gave it an aggressive push. H
