Two compounder and one nurse stood by neurology department, chatting. Just then a worried middle-aged man walked up to them.

'What the heck are you all doing here?' Mr. Saxena scolded them. All three lowered their heads mumbling excuses. Mr. Saxena rolled his eyes and sighed exasperatedly.

'Madam is coming after her month-long visit from London.' He informed and the three quivered.

'When?' the young nurse managed to say.

Mr. Saxena glanced at his watch, 'Any time now.' he then hurried away. The three nervously glanced at each other.

Mr. Saxena waited patiently at the entrance. It was only him standing, Madam hates extravagance and show-off. Sometime later, a sleek black Audi stops at the entrance. The back door opened and Mr. Saxena hurried, he held the door for Madam.

First, a long slender leg wearing high closed heels comes out followed by a young woman dressed in a black and white polka dotted white crisp shirt tugged in a knee length black pencil skirt. A golden side star pendant glistened around her neck, it was a gift from a friend. Watch in one hand and the other bare. Red glossy lipsticks adorned her plump lips, small diamond studs in her ears. The gentle October breeze fans her face and her short hair as she stepped out from the car. She removed her sunglasses placing them on her head. She smiled at Mr. Saxena who smiled back nervously.

'All good, Mr. Saxena.' She spoke walking confidently through the corridor leading towards her cabin. Mr. Saxena fumbled as he tried catching up with her, muttering about everything that happened in this one month when Madam was out of the country.

She sat on her seat, 'One black coffee, no sugar.' She ordered. Mr. Saxena nodded obediently. He made a face as he turned around wondering how can someone be so tasteless.

'And Mr. Saxena, no need to make faces, people have different tastes.' Mr. Saxena froze. He turned around, the woman looked up from the file she held. She smirked at him and he gulped nervously.

Mr. Saxena found his breath as he came out from her cabin, unscratched. He looked at the golden nameplate stuck at the cabin door.

EIFAD RAFI HOODA

CEO

Mr. Saxena shook his head, his nightmare is back, Hitler is back, Eifad is back. He thought walking away.

**************************************************

Eifad typed a mail when her phone buzzed. With her fingers still hovering over the keypad she glanced at her phone. A smile appeared on her face when she saw the name flashing on screen.

'Hello, champ.' Eifad smiled answering the call

'Mamma!' a young girl chirped from the other side, Eifad's smile broadened.

'You remember today is my piano recital, you promised you will come.' She said excitedly from the other side.

'Of course.' Eifad said leaning in her chair. She could hear the girl jumping around screaming happily.

'I missed you, Mamma.' She said

'I missed you too, love.' Eifad replied. As she put down the phone she felt bad for coming to work directly from airport. She felt her headache, stupid jetlag. She took a sip of her coffee and made a face, it has gotten cold.

She leaned forward and picked up her landline. Mr. Saxena's quivering voice replied from the other side. She asked for another coffee.

*******************************************************

After lunch, Eifad decided for routine checking. More than checking if everything is going good she likes scaring everyone. Eifad suppressed a grin as she walked through the corridor. The doctors and nurse greeted her politely and warmly. Some were scared but they masked it perfectly.

As Eifad walked towards the cardiology department she dashed into someone. With the soft body dashing into her, Eifad guessed it is a girl.

'Sorry...sorry...' the girl stopped speaking, her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. Eifad frowned at her. There is a sparkle in her eyes giving a hint that she is not terrified but excited to see Eifad.

'OMG! Eifad, Eifad Rafi Hooda!' she exclaimed wide-eyed. Eifad nodded. The girl seems to be in her early twenties, but dressed in blue top and white jeans with a loose pony she looked like a kid. Eifad doesn't recognize her. She observed her carefully, she is a doctor here as she wore a doctor's coat and an ID hung around her neck. Before Eifad could read her name, the young girl stuck out her hand.

'I am Kiran, .' She introduced herself enthusiastically. Eifad nodded. Something about her remained her of someone she wants to forget, forever. A bitter memory.

'Hello!' Eifad tried moving her hand but the girl's grip tightened.

'Maam, it is a pleasure meeting you. I am your huge fan...you are my...'

'I am no celebrity....'

'For me, you are.' Eifad scowled at her, she hates when someone interrupts her. Kiran closed her mouth realizing this. Eifad gave her a small nod. Eifad slipped her hand away as the girl's grip loosened.

'Focus on your work, only your work.' Eifad said and walked away. As she left she heard the girl squeal happily.

Eifad sat in her chair, Dr. Kiran Rai and I am an intern in the cardiology department. Eifad turned her head and looked at a silver and golden photo frame. A photo of a younger Eifad along with a boy stared back at her from behind the photo frame. Eifad extended her hand and caressed the photo of the boy with her thumb. The twinkle in his eyes and his charming dimpled smile still makes her heart skip a beat. Eifad sighed sadly and slammed the photo frame face front on the table. She quickly blinked back her tears and shifted in her chair. She then buried herself with work.
