Hello again, Stranger

Most people are confused about their purpose in life but Alison always knew that she had to become a doctor. It was her father's longlost dream. Thank God she was talented and hardworking enough to fulfill it. He was a president in the pharmaceutical industry also a control freak. So, Alison lived her life in luxury alongside with terror and anxiety.

It's been a few months since Alison became a doctor. Regret was overpowering her over other emotions. Even after 8 years she still couldn't forget her betrayal to her high school friend.

After her father acquired 'X' Hospital. Alison was commanded to join there. She can't disobey her father so she requested to not be recognised as the daughter of the president of the hospital.

" So ungrateful. Do you know how others would kill to be in your position ? They curse their parents because they can't provide for their future. And you.... " Her father's an angry man who thinks his words are the truth of the world.

" Dad, I just want to be Alison for once. Not just your daughter. Others will be intimidated. So, after I make my place there you can announce the truth. " Somehow she convinced her father.

It was a windy day. Fall was coming. She was nervous on her first day but it didn't show on her face. She introduced herself as a general surgeon to her fellow colleagues.

" How can You be a doctor ? " said a female doctor with seriousness

Alison got startled. She thought her capabilities were questioned

" You're so pretty who can be a model or actress. " She said with a bright smile. Doctor Milie is known for her cheerful personality.

" Don't mind her. In a serious place like a hospital she can bring a smile on your face. " said Doctor Jason. He's a senior cardiacsurgeon of a few years. He has a cool charming personality.

" Everyone except Doctor reeds. " Millie said with a frown

" Why.. Is he strict natured ? " asked Alison

" He's a literal stone who looks everybody with cold eyes and judges them. " replied millie with disgust

Alison thought she'll be judged when doctor Reeds will know that she's daughter of the president.

" She's exaggerating. Doctor Reeds will be your guide. He a great doctor who's serious and introverted. " said Doctor Jason

Alison knew doctor Jason was trying to lift her morale and Millie wasn't exaggerating. Some seniors love to demotivate their juniors.

As they were talking a cold air entered the room . It was none other than Doctor Reeds. The door was facing Alison's back so she couldn't saw him but she understood by the expression of doctor Jason and Millie. She decided to face him and her eyes widened with shock. She exaled. Who knew her past will come in front of her in her new beginning ?

" I'm appointed as your supervisor. I'm Doctor Eren Reeds. " He introduced himself calmly

Alison's POV " Reeds was the last name not first name otherwise I would never not know him. Is he acting like he doesn't know me ? Maybe because other doctors are here. " She was still speechless.

" You're...Miss Alison Steele. " He uttered looking at his file as if he's never heard this name before.

Eren had to sort her duties as he's the supervisor. They were in a elevator. She couldn't help looking at him. Alison waited 8 long years wondering how's he doing. Now she's satisfied that he's well.

Alison still remembered her first meeting with Eren. At that time she didn't knew that he'll be the biggest part of her life. Alison was the top student who was ahead of everyone in 'X' highschool. Even if she wasn't the daughter of business tycoon Mr. steele the teachers still would've adored her due to her sincerity.

Eren was a new student. While the teacher was introducing him. He looked carefree. Alison was tasked to guide him since he's new. Eren wasn't initiative. He didn't talk unless he's spoken to.

Young Alison : Don't hesitate to ask for my help. "

" Don't bother. I'll be fine. " replied young Eren. He wasn't rude. Just a loner.

Enough about the past. Now he became a stranger still she wanted to talk to him.

" Eren..."

He looked to her with eyes of a stranger " I'm your senior. It's doctor Eren for you. "

" How were you all these years ? " asked concernly

" What do you mean ? "

Alison felt like she's talking to a stranger. " How can he forget me ? I felt guilty all these years while he doesn't even remember me ? I don't look much different. Just my hair is long. " Her POV

" Why are you pretending to forget me ? "

" Are you worth remembering ? Do people remember their nightmares ? " He had pierceful eyes

" Nightmare... So, you're still angry ? " Alison sighed

The elevator door opened. Eren got out ignoring Alison. " Eren, Answer me. It's been 8 years. How can you still be angry ? "

" It must be insignificant for you, right ? "

Her POV " How I wish you knew how much I got affected. "

" What do you want me to do ? " asked Alison

" Leave. "

" I just joined. And you want me to leave. "

" Why Did You Have To Come Before Me ? " His eyes were fireceful

" Dad wanted me to work here. What's wrong with that ? "

" Go be a puppy of your father. I wonder what scam you made to became a doctor. "

" EREN.... " Alison said loudly

" Don't raise your voice. Your father's the president but I'm your senior. Be professional until your stay. "

" I'm not going anywhere. "

" I'll make sure you leave on your own. " Eren threw her file on the floor angrily

It's life. People changes. But it's difficult to adapt to sudden change.

This novel is slow burn. With full of emotions. I'm very proud of the plot. Most people will relate to it because of it's several layers. Fading friendships, insecurities, Unloving toxic parent and many more. In next episode we'll see Alison and Erens highschool journey.
