*My muse*❤☺
*_Chapter 9_*
*Natasha's POV👩🏽*
I was in my office, packing up to leave when I heard a knock on the door and someone walked in.
"Hello", I said, smiling to the young man who walked in.
I was surprised though. I wasn't expecting any patient.
"Please have a sit", I said opening my laptop to see if there was an appointment or something I missed.
On seeing his name, I got angry. He was the one who never showed up on any of his appointment.
I'm dropping professionalism. I deserve answers on why he didn't show up.
I placed my two hands on the table and looked right into his eyes and he looked right back.
Oops, I shouldn't have done that. Just looking at his eyes made me see the confusion and stress in it, but I still needed answers.
"You're Oscar Smith. Right?" I said, standing up straight and folding my arms.
"Yes please", he said.
"You've had three appointments with me before this, but you never showed up. I'll like to know why"😕
He looked at me confused and sat up.
"Is this part of the session?🤔" He asked.
"Does it matter? I came to work at 7am today and every other time you cancelled. I deserve to know"🤨
"Erhhmm...Isn't this your work? Do I really need to explain myself?"
I could sense the irritation in his speech, but I'm not dropping this.
"Arrogant much??" 🤨 I said to him.
"Look, I already have 3 women in my life who stress me out. I don't need a psychologist who's supposed to help me to be a part of it too", he said, getting up from his seat.
"Please wait, I'm really sorry", I said, slapping myself mentally.
"I've had a bad day and it's making me really cranky especially to young men like you. I'm really sorry, please seat", I said to him. He sighed and took his seat.
I also took my seat and took out a new folder and a pen.
I asked him for all his details.
He was engaged. He had two big brothers and a little sister. His dad was late, so he had just a single parent and he was a Christian.
"According to your medical records here, you had a head injury few weeks ago", I said, looking on my laptop.
"Yeah".
"How's your head now? Any pain or any memory you can't count for" I asked him and he shook his head.
"Okay, so can I know your problem?"
"Uhmm,I think this is a while big mistake", he said, trying to get up.
I've dealt with things like this numerous times. A lot of patients find it hard to open up and they hide stuff too. Then it's left to me to get the information out.
"You spoke about three women stressing you out. Do you mean, your mum, sister and fianceé?" I asked him and he stopped in his tracks and sat down.
"No, my mum, my Fianceè and her twin sister", he said.
"Hmm, that's new. Can you tell me more. How exactly do they stress you?" I asked and he told me a long story of how he asked his girlfriend Mabel out and how she turned him down. He also spoke about her twin sister and everything she's done. His mum was also stressing him out by always finding ways for him not to be with Mabel. Mabel too wasn't being helpful to him. She became a whole different person after she accepted his proposal which wasn't on the plate anymore.
We spoke about it for a long while and he was indeed confused. He couldn't define his feelings for Mabel. I told him to take his time and study his feelings for her. And with Monica, he liked her because she was a nice person at heart, but what he didn't like about her was the fact that she was trying to ruin her sister's love life. So I told him to have a talk with her and let her know how what she was doing was affecting her sister. I think pulling the sister card and not his will make her back off. As for his mum, I told him to patch things up with Mabel first and have a heart to heart talk with her. In everything, I asked him to turn to God first and ask him for directions.
"Thank you very much", he said, smiling.
"You're welcome. Illy fixed another appointment for you. See the nurse for the details. Also feel free to send a mail to me if anything should pop up or if you need help", I said giving him a card which had my e-mail address.
"No calls?" He asked.
"No. If I do that, my phone is going to go through hell", I said laughing and he laughed too.
"I'll take my leave then", he said, getting up and he shook my hand🤝🏽.
He walked to the door and before he opened it, he stopped and looked in my direction.
"I'm really sorry for missing out on three appointments. I didn't see why I should see a psychologist but now, I do😊😊", he said, smiling.
"Oh don't worry. It's fine. I shouldn't have attacked you like that", I said, smiling.
"And with your fianceé, speak some sense into him. He can't be making a wonderful person like you get cranky", he said and I was surprised.
"How did you know that I was engaged"?
"Wow, a psychologist can't answer this? Your ring has the answers", he said, laughing and I looked at my fingers.
"Ooh", I said, grinning.
"Goodbye Nat", he said and he left.
Nat? That's new.
I packed my stuff and left.

*Oscar's POV*
My session with the psychologist made me feel better. She's not that bad afterall.
I got home feeling a bit relieved but what I met a home made me get furious.
I opened my door and let Monica and Mabel arguing.
I wasn't ready for this. So I turned around and left my house.
I got into my car and prayed to God for patience and guidance on how to handle the situation.
After doing that, I just felt the need to talk to my psychologist. So, I sent a mail to her.
'Can we meet right now?' I sent to her.
I wasn't expecting a quick reply, but I did receive one.
'Why? Any problem?'
'I just need someone to talk to. I got home and I met Mabel and Monica arguing in my house'.
'I think you need to have the talk with them right now'.
'You sure?'
'Yeah, you can hit me up after the talk'.
'Okay, thank you'.
'Anytime'.
So, I went back to My house and yelled at them.
"We all need to talk now!!" I yelled and they stopped and looked at me.
"Baby, can you just tell her to leave?" Mabel said and Monica was about to talk.
"You know what? You both should leave".
"What? " they both asked.
"Now", I yelled and walked to my room.
I just can't do this. I didn't sign up for this.
I dropped on my bed and thought for a while and then I went back and stopped them from leaving.
"Can you both sit down we need to talk", I said to them and they say down.
