Chapter 1
Life is not always what you imagined it to be. We don't always get what we wanted, at least not everything. We are considered lucky if we are able to achieve a few of our dreams. In fact life is just another name for sacrifices and choices. Sacrifices, some of which are for our own good and many of them for others. Choices that make our lives, for or for worse.
It's been 4 years since she was last here. 4 years, 3 months and 2 weeks to be exact. When she left, it seemed like the right decision, yet in all these years she had questioned herself many times. It was after all a decision that changed her life, for better or for worse, it was yet to be concluded.
She was standing at the front entrance of GSM. This place was her home once, but today she was no more than a guest here. She really hated this, feeling like a guest.
"Dr. Yang, Oh my god, I am such a huge fan. I have read so much about you, all your published papers. You are so awesome" a young light hair girl, dressed in light blue scrubs, approached Cristina.
"Awww, well, thank you. And you are?"
"Oh how silly of me, I am Mellie, Dr. Mellie Kent"
"Nice to meet you Dr. Kent" Cristina extended her hand towards this young woman "So how long have you working at GSM"
"Oh almost 18 months now, I am 2nd year resident"
"Nice, so what are you interested in? Neuro, General, Cardio?"
"Oh I am really into Cardio. You are my inspiration, Dr. Yang off course", Cristina normally enjoyed meeting new young doctors, they were always so eager. Mellie reminded Cristina of her own younger self. She was excited and so eager to learn, just as Cristina used to be. All the memories came rushing back to Cristina, many of which she really didn't wanted to remember. Cristina has always been an eager and determined student. From the very beginning, she was determined, determined to be this amazing Cardio Goddess, that she was today, she had just won her first Harper Avery, she was one of the youngest surgeons to win a Harper Avery. She had achieved what she always wanted to, or she thought so, but her journey towards these goals had not been an easy one. She had to make many tough choices. Some of which, still hurt her deeply.
"Dr. Yang?" Cristina was lost in her thoughts, when Mellie snapped her fingers in front, as if trying to bring her back to the present time.
"Ohh, I am sorry, Dr. … Kent, you were saying?" Apparently Mellie was still talking to Cristina, and she on the other hand didn't even hear a word.
"I was just wondering, hoping actually that you are here for some patient? It would be an amazing opportunity to get a chance to watch you in action, first hand"
"Yes. Infact I am here, for a patient and maybe if you prove your dedication, you might even get a chance to scrub in on my surgery"
"Oh my god, it would be such an honor Dr. Yang. Oh my god. I won't disappoint you, I promise. Just tell whatever you need, I am your guy. Your pre-op, post-op labs, coffee, lunch, dinner, chocolate, anytime, anything you need, I am there"
"Wohh, hold your horses Dr. Kent, I still have to check up on my patient. Maybe we can start by you accompanying me to the patient room".
