At The Global Bross Hospital

.

​​

The last day of the competition had started at nine where prospective professors are presenting the results of their reports after conducting research for four days. Professor Frank looked nervous when he did not see Viona come this morning. He walked around while looking at the watch in his hand.

Nurse Tina rushed to the presentation room with her cell phone.

"Professor Frank..." shouted Nurse Tina with a wheezing breath.

"Where is Doctor Viona? What time is it? Why she hasn't arrived yet? It's almost her turn!" scolded Professor Frank to Nurse Tina.

"Doctor Viona said she would be a little late, sir," replied Nurse Tina fearfully.

"Sorry I'm late ...." said Viona half running while carrying the file in her hand.

"Stop talking, hurry in, and get ready. It'll be your turn in a minute," said Professor Frank coldly.

Viona nodded slowly then walked gracefully into the presentation room where several senior professors were waiting for her to see the report Viona had made. Not too long after that, Viona came out with a smile spreading across her face. Seeing Viona's expression made Viona's rivals feel even more annoyed. In contrast, Professor Frank felt excited to see Viona's behavior.

"How was it?" asked Professor Frank quickly when Viona came out of the room.

"It went well," Viona replied with a smile.

"Now that I've done presenting, please excuse me, Prof.."

"The results are out. You better wait here," said Doctor Lily in a high voice, making Viona unable to finish her words.

Soon the senior professors came out from the meeting room with several hospital officials. They were coming out along with Fernando who walked with angry eyes. They sat in their chairs and an MC stood up and prepared to read the results.

"Thank you for the participation of twenty selected doctors who have worked hard in this competition and this time we will read the results, after going through a long discussion. We want to congratulate Doctor Adam on his selection to be a young professor this year," said the MC reading the results which were then greeted by applause from everyone in the meeting room, including Viona who looked very enthusiastic in clapping.

The doctors then rushed to Doctor Adam to congratulate him, the same thing for Viona.

"Congratulations Doctor Adam," said Viona to congratulate the male doctor sincerely.

"Thank you Doctor Viona," replied Doctor Adam, smiling.

Viona then sighed and inadvertently looked at Fernando who had been staring at her endlessly with a cold gaze full of anger. Viona just smiled thinly at Fernando and then she walked towards Professor Frank who was still shocked by the results of the competition.

"Thank you, sir, for your guidance for the last few days," said Viona sincerely.

"Did you make a mistake during the presentation, Doc?" asked Professor Frank seriously.

"No, don't have to think seriously about it now that the results are out. I think it is a fair result and we should move on," Viona replied, smiling cheerfully.

Everyone including Nurse Tina was astonished after seeing Viona's smile. They were amazed at how she was so calm and cheerful even though she lost in this competition. They then returned to their respective department at the hospital. Viona who had asked for permission to be absent today went straight to the locker to change clothes. After changing into her casual clothes, Viona immediately walked towards the exit.

"Vio ..." shouted Amina and Jenni together while waving their hands towards Viona who walked out of the hospital.

"How was it?" asked Jenni excitedly.

"Just like I have said last night to both of you, I will not take that position. There are many things that I have to learn. Don't you say that the hospital in the Clovelly area needs more doctors? I will submit my application there," Viona replied with a smile.

THUMP

THUMP

Hearing Viona's words, Fernando and Professor Frank who were standing by the window where they could hear the conversation very clearly were shocked.

"So you want to go back to London," Fernando said to himself.

Professor Frank immediately turned around and walked into the senior professors' room full of uncertain emotions, he knew that it was impossible for Viona to lose because he had checked all the reports that Viona had previously made.

"I know you must have given up on it. If not, there's no way you would lose, Viona," said Professor Frank softly.

Viona and the two girls went to the iconic Niagara Falls. The waterfall was the largest waterfall in the world which was located on the border between Canada and the United States. The waterfall was about 17 miles (27 km) north-west of Buffalo New York and 75 miles (120 km) southeast of Toronto, Ontario.

Although it was not very high, Niagara was a very wide and most popular waterfall in the world. More than 6 million cubic feet (168,000 m3) of water per minute was dropped and it was the most powerful waterfall in North America.

Niagara was also famous for its beautiful rainbow that crossed the middle of a swift waterfall. The natural beauty that surrounded Niagara had made millions of people from every part of the world want to visit it every day only to see this most popular waterfall.

Jenni and Amina were very excited to see the beauty of the waterfall, the sound of the water falling to the bottom of the waterfall was so loud that they had to scream a little when talking to each other. Seeing her younger siblings were amazed by it, Viona just smiled while enjoying the hotdogs they had bought earlier for lunch.

Because Viona had a phobia of height, she decided to not ride the Niagara SkyWheel which was the largest Ferris wheel in Canada with a height of 175 feet or about 53 meters.

There were 42 cabins in Niagara SkyWheel and the cool thing was that the temperature in each cabin can be adjusted according to the season.

In winter, the temperature inside the cabin would feel warmer. Conversely, during the summer, the temperature inside the cabin was cold. And because the winter was about to come, the temperature inside the cabin felt warm so it was very comfortable.

Jenni and Amina seemed to really enjoy the view of Niagara Falls from the top of the height. Viona, who had ridden it once six years ago when she went out with little Zevanya, remembered some memories from her past. It suddenly made her sad again.

Viona remembered Zevanya's death which was so fast even though she was very young, she didn't feel it when her tears were streaming down her face.

"Why is it so hard to forget you, Sweetheart," Viona said softly as she closed her eyes remembering her days with little Zeze.

"Vio, what happened?" asked Jenni suddenly, who was already beside Viona.

"When did you guys come down?" Viona asked back in surprise.

"We only went up for one round, Vio" said Amina quickly.

"Viona, why are you crying?" asked Jenni again because she did not answer her previous question.

"Oh, nothing. I suddenly remember my last memories in this Ferris wheel," Viona replied smiling.

"Are you reminiscing about her again?" Asked Jenni and Amina almost simultaneously.

Viona smiled and nodded slowly in response to Jenni and Amina's questions. She then got up from her seat without making a sound and walked towards the walking trail which was then followed by Jenni and Amina.

"Do you guys want to go somewhere else?" asked Viona softly.

"Sure, as long as it's fun," Amina replied quickly.

"Of course," said Viona, smiling broadly while embracing her two younger siblings as they walked towards the taxi that was waiting for them.
