Date with the Dentist

Being a Doctor is a noble profession as we consider them God avatars. Therefore, the relationship between a doctor and patient should be seen as professional and sacred. But what would one do if the doctor is a young and beautiful lady with a honey voice. After all we are humans, and on top of it, I am still single and not committed. I always try to restrain my feeling in such cases but sometimes the heart overpowers logic and objectivity. I am a writer and enjoy writing experiences. I could not stop myself writing about it.

On the advice of one of my beloved friend about the best hospitals in Delhi I decided to go to Fortis for my dental treatment. No doubt as I had heard, the hospital was spotlessly clean. But it was not the cleanliness that attracted me but the handpicked selection of staff which drew my attention.

The interesting journey started from the reception desk. Three beautiful and charming ladies in perfect shape, draped in bright red saris fixed my appointment with the doctor. I proceeded to the hallway after the appointment and saw a long row of doors lined up to my right. The room numbers were powered with dim blue light and were placed repeatedly till the end of the hallway. I stopped at the toilet to figure out the hygiene they maintained and I would say that it was definitely impressive. Finally I found the dentist room. I went inside to found a female doctor of around thirty years of age with a stern face. She asked me the purpose of visit and finally asked me to lie on the dental chair. She examined my teeth and finally asked another doctor to take the job.

This visit of mine to the dentist was almost after the gap of 8-9 years. Fortunately I never had any toothache or decay. However after this long gap, when I visited the dentist I figured out that how different this profession was from others. This profession required physical intimacy between the dentist and the patient as the dentist work close to the patient’s face and body for long hours. Normal doctors examine their patients for a minute closely and step back or if they are close to the body you are probably on anesthesia or feeling severe pain.

When I was waiting on the chair for the new doctor, the new doctor came as a surprise and bliss. A very beautiful girl in her late 20s, flaunting her short hair arrived and asked for my problem. She appeared calm and concerned unlike the other doctors. Girls in short hair have always been my weakness.

She started the procedure and the need of the profession brought her face close to mine. She was looking like an angel to me. An angel helping me out by solving my problems and this is what angels do. Her face effused milky aura and my pores of skin could feel the angelic warmth of her body. I had no other option but to either look at her face or close my eyes. I elected for the former one. While she was busy doing the treatment I surrendered my eyes to the captivating and comforting aura of her face and forgot all my pain and agony. My ear heard her engaging patterns of breath creating soothing symphonies that made my heart dance eternally.

I was completely drowned in her mystical mesmerizing eyes, blinded by the lucid luminescence of her scented skin, and completely lost in the carbon blackness of her curly black hair which was falling on her face time and again. I was totally indulged in her beauty with no pain, no sounds, and no feelings. Her beauty had defied the gravity and my body was levitating in the infinite vastness of the universe beyond the dentist’s chair, beyond the doctor’s room, beyond the hospital, and beyond everything perceptible.

At times I would see her lips moving and murmuring gracefully and her eyes making cushy contact with mine trying to communicate with me in my hypnotic stage. I would then force myself to come out of the trance of her beauty to listen to the still lingering odiferous words of hers. And I would find her face just six inches away from mine, looking directly into my eyes and waiting patiently for my replies.

Finally the treatment was over but the splendid memories stayed alive and engrossing. Never visit a beautiful dentist.
