The Call..

Nobody else, but she is there, on the beach. Sitting on the sand. Just to clear her mind and to fill it up with calmness.

She looked at the dawn sky. It looks like a painting of a lazy artist. Its beauty inspired her mind.

The whole night she was there, watching the Moon, the stars, the waves..

The cool sea breeze, blew in off the sea, touched the warmth of her cheeks.. It ruffled her hair..

The night under the sky, on the sea shore, washed out all the pain and sorrows from her heart.. It was enough to lessen her grief.

She stood up after the sunrise. People are already there to watch the sunrise. Soon after some time, the beach will be crowded and noisy.

"I hate to be in a crowd.." she murmured.

'brrringggg! brrringggg!' her mobile phone vibrated.

"who is there to call me now?" she took the phone and looked at the screen, 'Prof. Smith'.

"Hello.. Mornings Professor." she attended the call.

"Mornings Maria. I hope you are doing well."

"Yes Professor. By the grace of God, everything is fine."

she looked at the ring, on the third finger of her left hand, with a sadly disappointed face.

"Good. By the way, I need your help today.. You knows, I'm out of station and I won't be available for two weeks.."

he paused for a few seconds and then continued.

"I want you to take care of a patient. I'll arrange the needful.. It's something really important for me.. Just take care of him for the next two weeks.. I think, it's a kind of Schizophrenia."

She was listening to him silently and the last words from Prof. Smith made her face curious.

"Schizophrenia?" she tried to remember about it.

"um.. Unknown cause.. Incurable.."

"Yes Maria, the same." Smith replied in a very satisfied tone. "And, yeah! It's incurable, but treatment could help the patient from chronic situations."

He stopped for a while. Maria understood that he's going to say something really important.

"Maria, I can't handover such an important case to anyone else.. You are sensible.. You can understand situations.. After all, you are an EMPATH.."

The last words of Prof. Smith remembered her about her responsibilities to the society. 'Yes, he's right.' she thought. She knows how much he trust in her abilities and skills.

"Alright Professor.. I'll take care of it."

She checked the time.

"I'll be there in the office at 10 am.."

"wow! I'll be really thankful for that Maria.. I'll mail you his details.. You can use my consultation room instead of yours.. Will come back to you in the evening.. Have a good day.."

"Sure Professor.. I'll check it.. And have a good day to you too.." call ended.

She looked around.

"Oh! I've to go before it's going to be a noisy place."

She took her sling bag from the sand, looked at the morning sun for a while and rushed out of the beach.
