Aliyah's pov:

"The file of the patient who got transferred to you," the angry bird drops the file on the table and leaves without a word. Sometimes, I really wish I could punch him. 

Nevertheless, I open the file and start checking the details of the patient. 

47 years old female.

Smokes and drinks alcohol. (Exactly what I needed! Gosh!)

Main doctor: Dr Rahsin

Assistant doctor: Dr Karim

Scheduled surgery so far

10/02/2025 (so next week)

Lead surgeon: Dr Raihan

Assistant surgeon: Dr Rahsin

Surgical nurs-

The rest was a blur to me as I kept re-reading the name of the Lead surgeon. 

Dr Raihan. Dr Raihan. Dr Raihan.

Why do I have to perform a surgery with the angry bird? Even staying in the same room as him makes me want to vomit! Why did he leave the room without saying anything? Now I have to go to his room to discuss the surgery.

I reluctantly get up and go to the room beside mine. Yes, unluckily, our rooms were right beside each other. I had the curse of seeing his face every day even if I didn't need to, have to or want to. 

"What do you want?" he says after I knock. "Maybe, 'Come in' or 'Yes?' or 'How can I help you?' is a better option." I say as I go in and close the door behind me. We hated each other so much we would probably murder each other if we had the chance. Well, I would for sure, but I don't know about him. But no one else in the hospital knew about our mutual hatred. They all thought we were great friends. That is probably why I keep having to perform surgeries with him.

"Teaching your senior how to greet others now?" he says not looking up from his work, whatever he was doing. "Yes, who cares if you're a senior? If you don't have manners, no one will respect you." I sit on the opposite side of his desk. Others would wait until he tells them to sit. But he wouldn't tell me to sit. He'd rather have me stand. 

"Oh I do have manners, it's just you don't deserve to see them." he was still looking at the file in front of him. Rude! "Yeah right. Anyways, you're the lead surgeon. I have to come and discuss the case with you!" I change the topic as I want to get out of here as soon as possible. "Everything is in the file." 

"I know that but you're the lead surgeon. What method will you do the surgery in?"

"I believe I have to only say it at the time of surgery."

"Yes but, Oh gosh! Why don't you just tell me?" I glare at him.

"No need. You may leave now. Stop being such a pain." 

Now I'm really not going to leave. Whatever he says, I do the opposite.

"Not until you tell me."

"You're such a Nightmare. Just get out. I told you, I'll tell you at the time of surgery."

"Nope! Tell me now or I won't leave!"

"Just get-" "Am I disturbing any important conversation?" our senior doctor, Dr Karim peeked through the door and cuts Ahaan off.

"No sir, come in. Dr Rahsin was just leaving." he gave me a glare which clearly said, 'Get the hell out or I'll murder you right now'. I wasn't scared of him, but for the sake of Dr Karim, I leave.

I start re-reading the file of the patient in case I missed anything when I hear a knock on my door. I was confused as in our hospital only juniors knocked in seniors' room. And I just got in a position where I got my room and no other juniors visited me. "Yes?" my confusion grew when I saw the angry bird enter. He had some manners in him after all. But he didn't knock before when he came to give the patient information file.

He puts another file in front of me. "There you go Nightmare." 

"Nightmare?" I stare at him in disbelief.

"Yes. You're a nightmare after all. It's not good how no one is recognising that fact." he smirks. I will kill him!

"What is in this file?"

"What you wanted Nightmare."

"Stop calling me that!"

"I won't Nightmare."

"You can leave now" he was a senior but the room was mine and I could tell him to leave.

"Okay Nightmare. Just saying all the details are in the file. So don't come running to me again Nightmare." he starts walking towards the door.

"Okay angry bird." he stops at my words. Yes!

"Angry bird?" he turns around.

"What? You'll call me a nightmare and say I don't get enough recognition and I can't do the same? Just saying, I do get recognised as a nightmare. Unlike you, people recognise my talents. So I felt bad and thought you should get recognised by the angry bird you are." I say with a proud smirk

"Don't call me that!" he says like I thought he would.

"Then don't call me Nightmare." 

"No."

"Then I won't stop as well."

My smirk grows when he leaves the room and slams the door behind him without another word. My plan worked. Exactly what I wanted. Victory! 

Winning against Raihan was a different type of pleasure. Because he was the only one who would never be able to hurt me as he was my only enemy who didn't know anything about me except my job or what I shared professionally. 

I start checking the other file he left me when my phone starts ringing. 

"I'm getting married!" Noor said as soon as I picked up.

Thank you for reading <3
