Inherent battle. Part 2.

..... Contd from Part 1........

     Mario, also left for his home as there were no patients left by that time. That day he didn't speak on the issue to anyone, but the next day, he couldn't resist himself on the breakfast table. He spoke to his wife on the concern and she too felt emotional as it was a sensitive issue. He asked her that what should be done in such a circumstance, it was kind of a deadlock in which he was locked. 

      Mario being a doctor was a sensitive person by heart. he had helped many poor patients in the past as well. But, here was a question of one million dollars, which indeed was a hefty amount for anyone and everyone. They both deeply thought over it. He was thinking loudly, and his wife - Amanda was listening. He said that the patient whose name was Laura was an old lady, supporting her husband who was already bed ridden. He imagined impersonating himself at her place. If something happens to her, then it would be a nightmare for her husband and that may also result in his life. 

     Finally with a decisive resolve he left the chair and said in a firm and crisp voice. 'I am helping her, and would cancel the plan for vacations this summer. That way we would save nearly a million dollars and that would result in a gift of new life to Laura'. Amanda dittoed him and so the children.

    They thought that the gift of life to someone is a godly act, and they would be doing that. Finally the next day when Laura reached his  clinic to meet him, he just said to get ready for the operation. She had a inquisitive heart which was full of questions. But Mario patted her back and said, ' Don't worry our clinic will bear the expenses'. She was in such a deep feeling of gratitude that she was dumbstruck. However, anyhow she managed to control her emotions and simply kissed his hands. the only words that came out were, ' You are an incarnation'.

     Mario took her hands in his and affixed a date for the surgery. She left with a happy heart, and promised to be there on the date fixed. Mario was too happy that day, as this was kind of an act that would even please the Gods. 

     Finally Mario was triumphant on his feelings and the inherent battle. He looked up and thanked God for the right direction that he took while making this decision.

Concluded.
