6 The Brief Grief
THE BRIEF GRIEF:
"Ah sure, Ms.--err--! May I know your name?" Asked their manager, who came rushing through the jungles and the caves, just by hearing the dips of surgery.
[(^o^) Manager-nim, don't worry! We won't let anything happen to your Joonie, (perhaps 'our' Joonie :-))]
"Ms. Ji Na. You may continue..."
"Ah, Ms. Ji Na, so what are the odds at the moment? And when is it suitable to do a surgery?"
"I prefer...as soon as possible."
"Sure. You may as well suggest us a date."
"I'll recheck my schedule and let you know. But for the time being, Mr. Kim, you need to be extra careful while going out. A mask and NO to dust is a must."
"Alright---"
"Thank you for visiting. Please pardon me. I have a few errands to run."
"Sure...go ahead!"
Just when she was about to leave, Namjoon's breath was again having troubles with him. He was breathing...heavily...with difficulty...once again, the nightmare he was afraid of came on...his head was aching vigorously and his nose giving him a scare.
He was restless. But his hands they were held by something which was warm...too warm...as if it were the morning raw rays hitting on him...
"Relax...try taking a deep breath...no need to panic..." This voice enchanted him.
Her hands were holding his...to bring him up from the abyss that he had fallen into. It was warm... though as a doctor it was her duty, she can't help but to get anxious on his uneasiness.
He tried to recover. And he did! He did come back to normal. He was coveted by sweat and worrisome thoughts haunting him once again. But he did come at peace.
That moment...he was back...back to his senses...and with his hands in hers...it was a momentary pause...a stop which shooted twitches right down the spines of both.
'Well, it was just the anxious situation that caused such a terrible disturbance in the cardinal area...her heart,' thought she and he, still in a dazzle, if he was awake or still sleeping.
All rested assured. She took her leave...a bit agitated...'what caused her heart to create such a havoc and agonize for him? Isn't it normal...to hold patients' hands while they are suffering from an unfavorable situation?' Thoughts rumbled her head.
He was a bit happy...by her generosity...by her magnanimous attitude.
She was smart, independent, kind-hearted, and on top of that, she was... beautiful...both in and out! Contrary he was caring, sweet, understanding and brave...what more could've been needed?
They were perfect!
Soon it was going to be noon.
They led on their way to remaining formalities.
The rest negotiations took place.
___
It was eve...dine time...they were ready to grab onto the auspicious lobsters and fill their bellies to the fullest. Yes they were sitting for dinner.
'Ring---ring---....'
An unknown number...
"Hello, who's this---," asked Joonie.
"Hello, this is assistant of Ms. Ji Na, I'm here to inform you about the surgery date."
"Sure...go ahead."
"So, according to the doctor and considering your situation, the surgery, best...if done in coming month. Ms. Ji Na enrolled your operation on 5th of February."
"Oh...thank you...for letting us know."
"Sure... it'll be initiated at 8 am, you need to report an hour prior to the appointment."
"I see. Thank you."
'toot---toot---'
He was grieved... finally it was gonna be fine... everything were gonna be fine. He let everyone know about it. They were sad...but happy...maybe after this once... everything would be fine...
---
The next month, witnessed the surgery date. Till then everything went smoothly, regards to the medications and extra lookout for certain do's and don'ts.
Soon...it was the month of February. Surgery got a boost and regular check-ups were on rampage.
___
On 5th February...
Namjoon, along with the six of them, were ready....ready for their journey...again a new...but this time...it was a war...a war for one but peace for none!
In Han Jaegum Hospital---
In the Otolaryngology Department---
"Welcome, Mr. Kim, and umm---oh, the whole BTS is here, haha...please have a seat." Mr. Cha requested.
Let's start the procedures. They all were startled as Namjoon was taken in Operation Theatre...lying on that wheel-bed...he was trying to be strong...but deep inside...he feared.
"I'll be fine---" He went in.
They were outside... waiting...praying...hoping for the best...agitated...frightened...nervous! Grief encircled them from the environ and they were stuck...deep with their anxiety...so scared...that even the gods can't set them free. But their leader's last words reassured them. It's gonna be alright...once this surgery is over...everything would be back to normal!
They were hoping...hoping for best.
How will the surgery go? What will the consequences be? Was it really gonna be alright...once this surgery got over?
Let us pray and hope for the best!
