A new start

Sitting by the window seat, mind wandering beyond the scope of my vision, I took a deep breath and tried analyzing my life. The past the present and the future awaiting.

I was living a pretty pathetic life if not all, with nothing to uphold rather than my grades. Well my academic was something to be proud of but still in all other aspects I failed. No boyfriend, no family, no deep relations enough to search my absence. I am leaving the place I have been living for nearly 24 years. My chest tightened a bit but no other feelings. I don't know what to think of my future, what to hope for. The only thing I am certain of is for the next two years, I should give my all to a hospital located in a place entirely new to me.

I am a medical graduate with a pretty good profile enough for me to be recruited to one of the top yet discrete hospitals in the country. Yes I am going to work at the esteemed ' Gentle Hearts Hospital' situated in the heart of Sialda, the capital city of Mersia.

The bus stopped, and a few people went out. I hurriedly got my luggage and blended in the crowd. Being in a new city is especially tiresome when you are all alone. With the help of some locals I met I somehow managed to find my hostel. It was a two-storey building. It must be at least 10 years old, but the place was good enough for me since the rent they asked for is affordable to me. I rented a two-room apartment with basic facilities like a kitchen and laundry in one room and a bedroom with a single bed in the other.

I had nothing much to unpack, just a few clothes. After spreading a blanket onto the bed, I laid down.

Light pierced my eyes and I opened my eyes. I don't remember when I fell asleep. I looked at the clock. 7.50 am! Oh, good lords! Springing from the bed, I rushed to the bathroom

It was the D day, the first day at the hospital.

I somehow managed to reach the hospital within 9.00 am. Thank God the hostel was nearer to the hospital.

I smiled at the nurses as I passed by the nursing station. I got to show a good image on my first day. Then I met one of my colleagues, Georgia. She joined the hospital last year but as she talked I realized she knew a lot more about the hospital than I expected her to.

' Alexia, you don't have to worry about anything here. It's pretty good here. No political pressure, no power struggles we just have to be normal doctors unlike those big hospitals.'

' Yeah I heard about it. It's run by a private organization rather than the government or cooperation, right? '

' It's not exactly a private organization, it's a family, the Rensselaer family'

Her words echoed. Then I didn't realise that the name will be my future, my everything.
