chapter 5

                        Luna was observing Dr. Brian considerately. She was feeling sad for him but she controlled her emotions and tried to cheer him. She said to him, " Dr. Brian don't worry. You both have pure hearts. So, God will never hurt you guys. I hope everything will be fined soon. She will be cured soon.                        Actually, She has lost her father. She has been feeling unaided. Her father can't come back now as well as she wasn't with her dad in his last moments. So, all these things are still hurting her internally and probably that's why her mind has been giving burden to her.                        Although, I assured you that whenever she will notice your efforts definitely she will try her level best to be normal as she was before! She will be absolutely okay. I believe that she will be recovered soon. "                         On the one hand nurse Luna was continuously trying to comfort Dr. Brian and on the other hand Brian was standing in impassive gesture. Even then he breathed deeply, smiled emotionlessly and started talking to Luna. " I am eagerly waiting for that day when she will be as normal as before. Every night I see a dream that Elley has recovered. Every morning I wake up with these hopes.                         I always try to comfort myself by saying 'she will be recovered soon, she will recognised my actual identity and she will call me oggy not Dr. Brian' but actual truth is absolutely naked before us.                         Nothing is fine. She is completely changed. She is regretting a lot. She thinks negative about herself. She is judging herself as a culprit and hence, it's too difficult to her to accept the reality. " Brian sighed and said hopelessly. " Dr. Brian Please! Don't loose your hopes. God will bless her. As you are doing these deeds selflessly so, of course Jesus will help you always. Eventually he will lead your fortune too. " Nurse Luna said spontaneously. She was trying to boost him. Brian was also giving respect to her words. So, He smiled forcefully and said, " I hope, God will not disappoint you. Anyways you should go now and you must have to check other patients too. So, take care of them. I will join you later; but right now I want to stay here for a little while. " " Okay then I am going. Take care. " Nurse Luna said and went outside. On the other hand Brian once again started thinking about the past.                         Brian was continuously looking to Elley. Elley's face was seeming too much dull. So, while seeing her face he advertently started remembering his past.Flashback -                         Brian was twelve years old when his parents had divorced and started living their lives seperately. Brian's father- Mr. Jacob D'souza kept his son to himself to secure his future and to preserve wealth of D'souza family.                         Similarly Brian's mother- Mrs. Annie D'souza kept her daughter to herself and thus D'souza family shattered into pieces.                        After their divorce Brian's parents never did contact to each other. Brian's sister was too young to understand those things but Brian was teenager and of course elder than his sister. So, he understood everything in his early age.                         Although, nothing was in his control. So, he had to choose sufferings. So, obviously he had suffered a lot. Due to his family matters his schoolmates always bullied him. They tortured him a lot. That's why he was very timid in his school days.                         He had lack of self-confidence as well as he did fumble while talking. He was a stammerer also. Therefore, no one tried to do friendship with him. In fact, they teased him and made fun of his every single thing. Hence, he was always surrounded by loneliness.
