After Five Years 65
Aisha's POV I nodded slightly, trying to hide the sudden racing of my heart. I waited until he parked the car properly, then walked with him toward the apartment door. Our steps were in sync, and neither of us spoke, but the atmosphere between us felt so comfortable that words weren’t necessary.As I opened the door to my apartment, the familiar scent of home welcomed me. I turned on the lights, then took off my jacket and hung it near the door. “Come in, make yourself comfortable,” I said as I walked to the kitchen.Julien sat at the end of the sofa, observing the room with a gentle expression. “Your apartment feels warm. Just like you.” I chuckled from the kitchen. “That’s a very smooth line, Julien.” He laughed softly. “I’m just stating the truth.”I started to prepare hot water and chose my favorite tea, chamomile. My hands moved automatically, but my mind was still lingering in the car earlier, in the way he looked at me, i
After Five Years 64
Aisha's POV That morning, as usual, I was conducting outpatient examinations. The schedule was quite packed, and I tried to focus on completing each consultation carefully, ensuring nothing was overlooked. Even though I still felt tired from the surgeries over the past few days, my spirit remained high. I didn’t want to be careless, especially since this was the part of my job I enjoyed the most: meeting patients, listening to their complaints, and helping as much as I could.However, while I was reviewing the lab results of an elderly patient, my phone, which was in the pocket of my coat, buzzed softly. I glanced at the screen—Julien’s name appeared.My heart immediately raced. He rarely called at this hour, especially knowing I was at work. Was there something urgent?I looked at my patient and smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, ma’am. May I take this call for a moment? It’s important, I promise it won’t take long.” The patient nodded kindly.

Aisha's POV Julien's hand was still stirring his spoon in the bowl of soup when I decided to speak up. The question that had been on my mind finally came out, though it was a bit soft and cautious. “Julien... why didn’t you come this morning like usual?” He immediately turned to me, his lips curling into a mischievous smile. “Hmm, were you waiting for me? Did you miss me this morning?” I sighed and rolled my eyes lazily. “I’m seriously asking, Julien.” “And I’m serious too,” he replied casually, leaning back in his chair. “But your reaction just now was really funny, Aisha.” I suddenly felt my cheeks warm. Oh God, why could he always make me flustered with just a few words? I quickly diverted my gaze, poking a piece of bread on my plate with my small fork. “Fine, if you don’t want to answer, that’s okay,” I said half-annoyed, trying to cover my awkwardness. I knew I was sulking, but I also knew Julien could read my expressions as cl
After Five Years 62
Aisha's POV We walked side by side out of the hospital, down the corridor that was starting to empty as the evening approached. Some nurses greeted us with smiles, some perhaps holding back the temptation to ask who the handsome man walking beside me was, carrying a small bag of emergency food and a smile that seemed never-ending. But I didn’t care. Right now, it was just me and Julien. And the warm feeling that was continually growing between us.As we stepped out of the hospital's main door, the evening wind welcomed my face. The sky was beginning to change color, glowing with golden orange hues. I took a deep breath, feeling as if the heavy burdens of the day were slowly evaporating with the air.Julien's car was parked not far from the entrance, as always, neat, clean, and shiny. He opened the door for me, and I got in, leaning my tired body against the soft, fragrant seat. Once he got in on the driver’s side and started the engine, soft classical music pl

Aisha's POV After Rika left, I returned to my usual routine. The white coat was neatly on my body, and I sat in front of the computer in my office, trying to focus on reading the medical records of the outpatient patients I would handle later that afternoon. However, for some reason, the letters in the document weren’t sinking in. My eyes followed the lines of text, but my mind wasn’t there. Julien. He said last night that he would meet me this morning. He even mentioned bringing fresh flowers to replace the wilted ones. I knew he wasn’t the type to make promises lightly. But now, it was past 9 AM and... no message, no call. Even the last blue tick in our chat only showed “last seen last night.” I rubbed my temples, trying to push away the creeping worry. Maybe he just overslept. Or perhaps there was a sudden issue with the clinic documents he mentioned yesterday. Yes, that could be it. Julien wasn’t the type to leave others hanging. But
After Five Years 60
Aisha's POV After washing my face and changing into a slightly neater outfit, I returned to the room to find Rika opening a paper bag containing two croissants and a small box of fruit slices. “Did you bring breakfast too?” I asked with a smile, sitting down beside her. “Of course. I knew you probably hadn’t had a chance to eat. Besides, if you faint from exhaustion, who’s going to operate on your patients later?” she teased, handing me one of the croissants. I accepted the bread with a warm smile. “You are the best friend,” I said before taking a bite of the warm, crispy pastry. We ate while chatting lightly about work, some medical dramas Rika was watching, and the antics of elderly patients who often pretended to be sick just to chat longer with the nurses. Suddenly, Rika's eyes turned to the small trash can in the corner of the room. Her brow furrowed. “Hey, is that... flowers?” I followed her gaze and saw the dried petals sligh
