Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 6
I turned on the stereo and Bruno Marsâ song was playing âWhen I was your manâ came up.
That i should have brought you flowers,
And held you hand,
Should have gave you all my hours,
When I had the chance,
Take to every party,
âCause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing
But sheâs is dancing with another man
I could totally relate.
As the song winded down tears comfortably cascaded down my face.
Over six years ago
The semester winded up without hearing anything from Uri. Eventually i got tired of asking how he was doing and moved on to other love potentials
. Jimmy finished his last exams and before he went to a full year of residency he made one last stop.
Technically I was a doctor too and would be doing my residency in the following two years after Jimmy but truth is Jimmy was brighter than me. I wanted psychiatry. I virtually opened peopleâs minds, while Jimmy opened peopleâs skulls literally.
On this day I was dressed and all dolled up for a date with some Victor dude i had met in some medical doctor conference the school organized.
I opened the gate in a hurry, not wanting to keep my date waiting at the restaurant. I tried to flag the first cab that appeared but it was occupied
. I didnât have to wait long. A cab approached and it slowed down. Out came Jimmy and Uri followed closely.
I never made it to my date.
Uri had finished school and was going for an internship program just in the state my brother was doing his residency. They had first made a stop at Uriâs place and stayed there for some days before coming home, they were going to do the same here before leaving for the internship and residency concurrently.
I helped them with their bags before my parents took over reacting about Jimmy coming home. My parents were dramatic that way.
Later that night, I was in the kitchen fetching some juice and I noticed the TV was still on in the living room.
. Uri was supposed to be using the guest room. I entered the living room only to find Uri watching a late night show.
âStill awake?â I asked
âOh hey,â he turned surprised to see me, âyeah i couldnât sleep.â
âWhy are you still awake?â He rolled back the question at me.
âI couldnât sleep either,â
âYou know its a bad habit eating at night after dinner.â
âOh Mr. Engineer, what do you know? I should be giving you the tips. And technically am drinking not eatingâ I teased
âYou forget too quickly i have stayed with a future neurosurgeon for five years.â He got into the flow.
âYou know what i would say, itâs all in the mind.â I continued
We both burst into laughter.
âYou got me on that one.â He responded.
I loved watching his smile. His deep set of cheek dimples appearing and disappearing. He was gorgeous in and out. The in was more gorgeous than the out,
We talked a little bit more about school, his internship and we didnât notice time flying past. When I checked my watch three hours had passed. I had classes the following day.
âI should retire. I have classes tomorrow.â I said grudgingly
He checked is watch.
âOh my goodness!â He exclaimed. âTime has flown.â
âIndeed it has, it always flies when you with the right people.â I said
âSpoken like a true psychiatric doctor, am so glad i made it here.â
âNot more than me, Goodnight Uri.â
âGoodnight Ella.â
