The Couples Dilemma (1)

My name is Dr. Mavith. I'm a "different" being then my patients since I work at a charity cancer hospital. The biggest difference between us is that they have hope, the truth is when somebody is sent here they die. This is only a place where those with little chances to survive are admitted. Only a few select few survive. The reason the patients have hope is because they are fooled by sentences such as "Here those with serious cancer are sent and your not in bad shape so you'll probably survive". Such foolishness. I honestly feel bad for my patients.

This day was especially bad. 2 teenagers one male with a gorgeous face and white hair and a girl with black hair and blue locks and a beautiful face. I looked at the boy, he was pale, out of breath and in a very bad shape. I asked him " What's wrong what happened here?" to which the boy replied "it's not me it's my girlfriend". When I looked at her I started laughing inside seeing how stupid I was to not sense the severity of her case. "Calm down both of you, now little lady tell me your name" I said in a rather sympathetic tone to remove the tension from the air

"My name is Mikaela" she replied, "What a beautiful name and what about you son?"

"Evander". "Nice to meet you both I'm Dr Mavith but you both can call me Mavi, so what happened ". Evander looking worried arguably too worried replied "We were just walking when she just held her stomach and fell groaning " I look at the girl who obviously was holding back tears and also seemed very concerned but more for Evander then herself. "Are you sure she isn't pregnant or something? Don't worry such debauchery is common during these years" I told a joke but to my surprise they both turned red. Now I wasn't mad or anything but why bring her to a cancer hospital first thing?

I inquired about my feelings to which Evander replied that it was the closest hospital. "Don't worry I understand, can you walk?" I said to the girl who shyly shook her head in refusal. "Ok" I signal to the nurse to tell her to bring a wheelchair. "We're going to do an Ultrasound and a MRI but if you don't mind me asking, where are your parents?". Mikaela looked down while Evander said "We both lived in an orphanage, we moved out recently". To others it must've been a shock but I knew about this.

"We're here, don't worry it's free of cost" as I sent her in " it'll take from 1 and a half hour to two hours so get comfortable" while she was in there I learned a lot of things from Evander like there life stories and details about what happened. When the scan ends I guide them to a general ward, empty because you all know why, although I wasn't with them I know of the conversation that ensued between them. It went like this:

Evander: Don't worry babe it'll be fine

Mikaela: I know but-

Evander: No buts, it's gonna be alright

Mikaela: Thanks honey. I need you in times like these

Evander: I'll always be there for you

Mikaela: Thanks your words mean a lot

Evander: No problem, I'd rather keep an eye on the worlds most beautiful face and spend time with you

Mikaela: What a flirt

Although the conversation was very heartwarming it made it more difficult to me to tell them about her cancer
