"At his place !!! Holy shit !!!"

"Is he inviting me to come over to his place at night for real?"

Dr. Oshana's mind started racing with all raunchy thoughts after hearing Dr. Nelson's words. She couldn't just stay calm. A brilliant smile spread on her face and she started turning all flushed and crimson. Just the thought of being in close proximity with Dr. Nelson gave her the goosebumps.

Trying to hide away all her excitement, she said,

"Sure thing !!!," and then turned her face away to hide the colors spreading on her face from him. But nothing went unnoticed by him.

After reaching highway blues, they took the seat which was reserved for them. After two minutes, Dr. Nelson excused himself and came towards the men's room and texted Akira.

"She is with me right now. I will be starting with the drinks now. I have convinced her to come to my place." - Dr. Nelson

"That's great. Again I am sorry for the lengths that you have to go." - Akira

"That's ok. Once I have her confession, I will send it over to you." - Dr. Nelson

After sending the texts Dr. Nelson came back and then started the order after order of drinks and starters. They started discussing a plethora of subjects, starting from college days memories to stuff at the hospital. Dr. Nelson very tactfully tried to open her up from all perspective, but he himself stayed tight-lipped. He held his drink but made that poor girl drink shots and shots.

When he realized that he had already made her quite vulnerable, he decided that it was time to go to his home. He called for a cab and then said,

"I am done with this place now. It's so crowded and feels all too much."

Hearing that Dr. Oshana immediately blabbered,

"Let's go to your place and open the champagne."

"Yeah let's do that,"

Saying that Dr. Nelson settled the bill and said,

"Let's go."

A wobbly Dr. Oshana who was unable to stand all straight leaned on to Dr. Nelson for support which he gave all reluctantly and then he hailed the cab.

After reaching his place, he picked up the parcel which was kept at his door-step and then entered inside his house with her. He placed her on the sofa and smiled looking at her and said,

"I am going to get us the champagne glasses."

"Oh yeah. Champagne time !!!", saying that Dr. Oshana raised her hand for a high-five. But Dr. Nelson pretended to not see that and started towards the kitchen with the parcel in his hands.

After Alita had left him, this was the first time any woman had entered his house and that was weirding him out like anything.

Shirking away all the dark painful thoughts, he poured the truth serum contents into one champagne glass and then opened his phone. Akira had sent him three messages. So he replied,

"She is at my place. Within the next thirty to forty minutes, the job will be done." - Dr. Nelson

After sending the message, he didn't bother to wait for her reply and then went ahead near Dr. Oshana and said.

"This carpet right here was gifted by a cousin of mine, so hope you don't mind that I am opening the champagne bottle in the kitchen."

Dr. Oshana didn't say a word and she was already feeling quite nauseated and high. She just raised her thumb to show her agreement. So Dr. Nelson immediately popped the bottle and poured a glass of champagne into the spiked glass and gave it to her.

"Where is your glass?"

"I am getting mine."

Saying that he poured champagne into the other glass and came and sat next to her on the sofa.

"Cheers !!!"

He said and raised his glass, to which she replied,

"To us."

The moment Dr. Nelson heard her words, he felt like his insides were churning, but he kept on drinking one after the other along with her.

After the third glass was done, he could see that she was losing her sense of awareness, so he put his phone on the table with a book at its back and started the recording.

"Sometimes don't you feel like revealing your deepest and darkest secrets and feel relieved?"

Saying that he looked deep into her eyes and said,

"You know, once due to a simple mistake, a person had to lose his life on my operating table. Till date, I have not come in terms with it. Till date, it haunts me. I have hidden it to the entire world but I cannot hide it from myself."

Seeing an emotionally wrecked Dr. Nelson, she came close to him and said,

"Not just you. Even I am a wreck. I am mistreating a patient of mine."

"What do you mean Dr. Oshana?"

Interlocking her hands in his hands she took a deep breath and said,

"I have cut off all his hopes for survival. I am a doctor but I did the opposite. Instead of giving him hope for a better life, I gave him promises of a worse one."
