Dr. Kirk nodded. "Good," he said. "Then we understand each other."
"Yes, sir. I'll go pack my things right away."
"Now hold on young man for one minute. I said it would be the right thing to do. I didn't say I was going to do it."
I opened my eyes widely and stared at the doctor. What was he saying?
The doctor paused and looked at me. I felt as tiny as a mouse. As insignificant as a moth. "I don't get it," he said.
"Excuse me, sir? I don't think I understand. What don't you get?"
"Why she likes you so much. Heather. She seems to be very taken with you. Among all the admirers she has had throughout the years, she chose you. I don't understand."
I felt my face flushing. "Well neither do I, sir."
"Nevertheless I have a huge soft spot for my daughter and she has convinced me that she wants you to stay and that she is madly in love with you, which I again find hard to believe. But you are the first man that has kept her interest for more than a couple of weeks, so I give her the benefit of the doubt. Plus, I owe you one for helping my wife when she needed it."
"Thank you, sir. I shall not forget your kindness."
"No you will not. And now we are even. My proposition to you is that you stay here and finish med-school, with good grades naturally, then I am suggesting that you specialize in ophthalmic surgery and become an eye surgeon like I am myself. Then maybe someday you would have the honor of marrying my daughter and take over the clinic. I have no son of my own so there is no one to ensure the future of the clinic. Heather, unfortunately, has no interest in medicine." The doctor paused. Then he opened a drawer and pulled out a wooden cigar case. He opened it, took one and then he offered one to me. "What do you say son?"
I smiled vaguely before I leaned over and picked one out.
Three years later I finished med school with honors. I took Heather to Paris on a trip her father paid for and asked her to marry me at the top of the Eiffel Tower. She said yes and later that same year we were married and spent our honeymoon in the Bahamas flying there in her father's private plane.
More than ten years would pass before Aiyana's prophecy would come true and our paths crossed again.
