Today I asked permission from my boss to go home early. He doesn’t even care. He said, he did not come to the office this afternoon. My purpose is to go to the hospital to visit Madam Emma whom I saved yesterday. Actually I was forced to promise to come again by Sarah, because yesterday Madam Emma was still unconscious.
On the afternoon, Sarah called me on the phone at the office. I had to share that as well, because the girl asked me for a phone number to contact me. I don’t even have mobile phone, so that’s why I gave her the office number.
Sarah said, Madam Emma is awake. She really wants to meet me. So I willingly volunteered to meet her. I parked my bike in the motorcycle parking lot. I feel tired of pedaling too.
I made my way to the Madam Emma ward. I slowly knocked on the door of the room, then I turned my head around. It looks like Madam Emma can sit down and by her side, Sarah is smiling sweetly at me.
” Hello. “
” Hi Charlee. “
They both answered at the same time. I stepped towards them.
” Madam, this is Charlee. And Charlee, this is Madam Emma. “
” Madam, how are you? Are you alright now? “
” Yeah, I’m good and getting better. “
She nodded while smiling.
” So, you really are the one, right? I did see you yesterday. “
I just smiled.
” Thank you, Charlee… for saving me. I am really indebted to you. It’s not just kindness, I think I owe this life. “
They both laughed. I just smiled. I was embarrassed to be praised awkwardly.
” You’re welcome Madam. It’s my responsibility to help others, there’s nothing much about it. “
” How can there be nothing, Charlee. You are a very humble person. “
I just bowed down in shame. It felt a little awkward.
” So, Charlee… ask Madam for anything, you’re guaranteed to get it. “
Sarah started teasing me.
Madam Emma smiled while nodding. The personal assistant and her employer are really friendly.
” What do you want? Auntie can give you anything. “
Auntie? I feel shy. They are trying to create a friendly atmosphere perhaps. Maybe because they see me as shy and clumsy.
” Don’t bother, I’m sincere to help you, Madam.”
” C’mon, Charlee… don’t be shy. “
Sarah still doesn’t get tired of teasing me. It’s enough just a little tease, Miss Sarah. Don’t tease me more, I’m shy.
I heard the room door open. We turned to see who coming. Huh! He again? How unfortunate is my fate, always collide with this stupid jerk.
His eyes are round. Shocked maybe.
” You??? What are you doing here? ” he snapped with a very sharp look.
Madam Emma and Sarah were stunned.
” Danny? Why? “
” Both of you… do you know eachother? “
I couldn’t answer Sarah’s question. I’m stiff. I want to leave from here, but my legs seem to be paralyzed and nailed to the cold floor of the hospital.
That stupid jerk squinted sharply and placed the plastic container filled with fruit on the small cabinet by the patient’s bed.
” Charlee, this is auntie’s son, Daniel Whitlock. “
Son? This arrogant guy is Madam Emma’s son? Impossible! This must be a mistake somewhere. I stared at him back. It’s hard for me to believe. His mother is gentle and polite, but his son is like someone who doesn’t even go to school! Maybe, this stupid jerk is her adopted son. I make my own speculation.
” What are you looking at? Do you have a debt? “
” Indeed you have a debt with me. “
I seem to have forgotten where I am now. A rude man like him, how can I just remain silent.
” What debt? “
” Fist and slap debt. “
The expression on his face changed immediately. He bite his lip and stared at me sharply.
” What are you doing here? Do you know this is a hospital? “
My patience is ready to reach the limit. Seems like he is trying to tickling my emotions.
” Enough! Enough! What is this Danny? “
Madam Emma has already spoken loudly. Angry with her own son’s behavior perhaps. Being low temper out of place.
” You two know each other, Charlee? “
” I don’t know her! “
That stupid jerk answered quickly. I glared at him angrily. He also stared at me sharply.
” If you don’t know each other, how can you both argue like this? It’s in the hospital. “
Madam Emma stared at us in turn.
” Charlee, explain to me what happened between both of you. “
That arrogant rude guy is still staring at me sharply. At a glance, I saw that his hands were clenched into fists. I quickly imagined the incident of me being beaten badly by him.
” Charlee? “
Madam Emma is still waiting for an answer. I stared at that stupid jerk then my eyes turned to Sarah. She gestured for me to tell what happened between the two of us. I became all wrong.
Should I humiliate this man? I will be beaten again later. But why should I be afraid? It’s not my fault too, this stupid jerk is rude indeed.
” There’s nothing Madam. Small matter. “
Finally I decided to keep it a secret.
” Are you sure? “
I nodded quickly.
” Danny, this is Charlee. He is the one who saved me yesterday. “
His eyes are round. His tense face just now suddenly become cloudy.
I make a lazy face.
” You…you who saved my mommy yesterday? You are the one who did the CPR on my mommy? “
I just kept silent and didn’t give any reaction. I saw Madam Emma smiling happily. That stupid jerk was still staring at me with a look that was difficult to understand. Which is definitely not as sharp as before. His reflection turned dim.
” Yes Mr. Daniel. He is the noble-hearted person I am talking about and he is the boy who sent Madam yesterday, ” Sarah interrupted in between to confirming what happened yesterday.
” A boy? “
That stupid jerk smiled sarcastically.
Madam Emma and Sarah looked at each other. I looked away. Staring sharply at that guy. Such a monkey! I’ve kept your secret, aren’t you going to reveal my identity, stupid jerk!
” She’s a girl mommy, a girl. “
Then, his hands just fastly take off my cap and released my bun. Untied my waist-length straight hair.
Madam Emma and Sarah shocked. Their eyes not even blinking.
That stupid jerk laughed loudly. Maybe he’s satisfied to make a joke on me. Don’t mention me about my face, it’s burning like a volcano about to explode. Luckily this is a hospital, else I would have kill him right now.
” So, Charlee… you’re a girl? ” Sarah asked in disbelief.
I flashed a smile.
” You have a beautiful hair, Charlee. You look so sweet and pretty, why you hiding it? “
Madam Emma seemed to know that I was ashamed. She gave me a sweet smile. That stupid jerk stopped laughing when his mother praised me.
” Why don’t you say you’re a girl Charlee? “
Sarah still doesn’t look like satisfied? Me, on the other hand, I could only grin.
” It cuz you never ask me. “
My answer make them laughed. That rude guy also laughing. I’m not joking with you idiot. Stupid jerk!
” So, what is your real name? ” asked Madam Emma after her laughter subsided.
” She’s just want to using a man’s name, mommy. She wanna look so cool. “
This stupid jerk seriously want me to slap him. Can you just shut up? Are you Charlee? Your mom asked me, dumb! Not you!
” My name is Charlotte Everly, Madam. People have called me Charlee since I was little. “
That stupid jerk in silent. His face turned red. Embarrassed perhaps. That’s why no need to always make fun of others. Do you think, you’re good enough? Idiot!
” Oh, it’s a nice name. It’s a short form of Charlotte, isn’t it? “
You’re smart, Sarah. Not like this stupid jerk. Stupid and dumb! Eh! Isn’t it’s same? Aishhh.. whatever. I just smiled thinly.
” Madam, hurm… I think, I have to go back first, it’s late. I’m sorry because yesterday I broke your car mirror. “
” It’s okay, Charlee… the car mirror can be replaced. Life is important. Thank you again. Thank you so much for saving my life. If you hadn’t broken the mirror… maybe auntie wouldn’t be here anymore. “
” So, Charlee, are you sure you don’t want anything? “
I just nodded when Sarah wanted to be sure.
” She’s shy. It’s okay, just go home first, then think about it…then claim later. “
They really want to repay my kindness. I smiled again.
” I’ll be back first. Take good care of yourself, Madam. If possible,don’t drive alone again. “
” Okay, dear…”
The soft tone of Madam Emma’s voice made my heart sad. Suddenly I remembered my mom. My mom always said that.
I snatched my cap that was still with that rude guy hand, then stepped out after shaking hands with them without even looking at him.
I went down the stairs of the hospital quickly. It’s late afternoon. I have to hurry. I need to go to Aunt Jane’s restaurant. At the same time, my hand was holding back the loose hair. All of this because of that stupid jerk.
” Charlee! “
My steps stopped when I heard my name called. I turned around while putting the cap on my head again. My brow furrowed when I saw that stupid jerk after me.
I turned back and continued down the stairs quickly. Too lazy to argue with that rude guy. I don’t wanna waste my precious time for him.
Suddenly my arm was snapped.
” Charlee, wait a minute! “
The jolt of his energy pushed me to the side until I almost lost my balance. He quickly wrapped his arms around my waist so I wouldn’t fall. Our eyes are connected. I can feel a subtle vibration creeping into my heart right now. I quickly pushed his chest.
” What’s wrong with you? Do you want to take advantage? “
” Hell… I saved you from falling, instead of saying thank you. “
” Who made me fall, huh? Idiot! “
” Idiot? Who’s idiot? “
” It’s you idiot, deaf! Why you keep pulling me huh? “
” You, you don’t have insurance for your mouth, do you? I’ll give you a punch if you being rude again! “
” Do you think I’m scared? If you dare, then do it again! “
” Don’t you dare to challenge me! I don’t care who you are. “
” I know, I know you very well. A women bully. Thugs! “
He flinched and looked away. He seems trying to regulate his breathing.
” Okay, okay, I don’t want to fight with you. Let’s forget everything happened between us and peace, Okay? “
Make a peace? It’s that easy? It’s easy for him to say. I won’t never forget what he did to me.
” Never in my life! “
I glared at him and wanted to leave immediately. Damn, it’s late! It’s late!
” Hey, wait a minute! I’m not done yet. ”
I stopped again and turned to stare at him sharply.
” What else do you want? I’m in hurry, don’t you see? ”
” Sorry! I just want to apologize to you about that day and…” He was silent while staring softly at my face. I just raised my eyebrows as a questioning gesture.
” And… thank you for not telling my mom about that. And, thank you also for saving my mom. ”
” You’re welcome…”
” Hurm…do you forgive me? “
” No! ” Lol! I’m stubborn too. It’s like I can’t believe it.
” Why? ”
” Cuz I don’t want! ” I left him quickly. He seriously just wasting my time! Suddenly he blocked my way. I sighed for a long time.
” What else do you want? Do you know I want to hurry? ” My voice has relaxed. I feel tired.
” One more thing. Hurm… as I said yesterday, if you want the reward just tell me. “
He smiled at me. What’s with him? Did something possessed him? It’s weird if he talk nicely to me.
” Thanks, but no thanks. ” I continued to leave him confused there.
