Chapter 46 - Awkward moment

Breakfast times is over and everyone go back to their work. The girls separated to their own way and continue their own job.

Dee already finished her job at the garage and with other small matters and now she don't have any work to do.

Since she don't have any work anymore, Dee then take decision to go to the ward where all the patients of the survivors.

At least, she can avoid meeting with Dale when she go there.

When Dee went there, she talked to every patients she met and also help the nurses to take care of them.

In the same ward, there was a man brown hair was checking on the patients and write all the data on his file.

His black sparkle eyes look so focused that even his handsome face was emanating a unique charm that could melt any woman's heart; not even a single bug can disturbed him because of the high concentration.

The woman in these ward even get blushing everytime this man walked through pass them. They can't even resist the sweet and captivating smell of perfume that coming from this man.

If they can describe it, these man is someone who is very majestic and only appear in fairy-tale. But this man don't claimed his self like that because he is only an ordinary man who called as Terence.

Suddenly his ears catch up a cute and calm laughed from the end of the ward.

A great yet strong power suddenly filled in Terence's heart, making Terence to turn his head toward the owner of the voice. Even a bug couldn't disturbed him but only with a single sounds from this person can make this man turn his head and his concentration.

Terence saw Dee was talking with a young girl while she was showing that little girl her drawing.

Terence watched them as he was watching a movie; a curios feeling emerge from his heart and want to watched until the end.

Slowly he can feel everything around him feel like a slow motion scene. He cannot hear any sounds but one; the sound that come from Dee's mouth.

The staring position didn't last long as someone tapping Terence's shoulder, making Terence snapped back to reality. Terence look at the person who tap his shoulder with unpleasant look; because he was disturbed at the best moment.

"I am so sorry, sir. But I need to treat this patient now. It was already five hours since he consume a medicine," said the nurse while holding a trolley of medicine.

Terence look at the patient. It was a man with a fat belly and soundly sleeping on the white bed.

Terence just nodded a little before he walked back to make a way for the nurse. The nurse smile thankfully as she pushed the trolley toward the bed.

Then Terence walked to the next bed and collecting the data. He then move to the next bed and the next bed until he was already near Dee.

Dee turn her head to Terence when she saw a familiar gaze. When she saw Terence, she smile at him. "Oh, Terence.. You were here? I didn't see you before..."

"Yes, I was helping the doctors to collect all the data about this patients. Since I know a little thing about this work, I figured out that maybe I can help," said Terence. He didn't look at Dee when he was talked. Instead he was writing on the paper. Even though he was writing, he still can feel the nervousness when standing beside Dee.

"Lucky you.. You know the job here. I come here only to help to make these people happy," said Dee.

Terence look at the little girl who ws drawing on her sketchbook, then Terence look at Dee again. "At least this is the only thing you can do to them."

Dee smiled at Terence words.

Terence write on the file again.

"Sister... Look at my aeroplane... Did it beautiful??" asked the little girl while showing her sketchbook to Dee. A bright smile could be seen from her face.

Dee look at the sketchbook and she smiled. The aeroplane on that sketchbook was so beautiful and neat. It was like a professional drawer was doing it. "Oh, this is a beautiful drawing... You have a talent on drawing..." Dee caressed the girl's hair.

The girl smiled happily when Dee praised her drawing. Then she make another drawing on the other page.

Terence who was writing on his file once again watched them.

When Dee shifted her head toward Terence, Terence will pretend to write on the paper before he look at Dee again if she wasn't looking anymore.

"Where are you going to send that report?" asked Dee. She is now playing doll with the little girl.

"To the office..." Terence said while still writing.

"Could it be there are more works there?" asked Dee still playing doll with that little girl.

Terence look at Dee. The file now move from his hand to next his waist. "You really like to work that much, huh?? How about this?? You help me gathering all the data about the patients. It would be better of there are two of us doing this job. Besides there are still two wards I need to entered to gathering all the information."

"Hermm,alright... I think I can help. Sounds more fun," said Dee.

Terence chuckled about what Dee said. "Fun?? Did you think this fun?"

"Yeah of course... It was fun because you can talk to them and they will talked to you again," Dee said.

"What is the fun in that?" Terence sighed.

"Hei, it is really fun okey? Besides, you can see them smiling even though they were hurt. You work here and even gathered the data about them but you never feel like this? Or is it that you never do this??" said Dee with a teasing tone.

Terence chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt. "I just take data from them.. Not talking with them.. And also talking to them might cost me too much time. I need this work to finished early."

Dee clicked her tongue in annoyance. "You're no fun at all...."

"What can I do.. This is how I work..."

Terence was going to take another walk toward the next ward when suddenly Dee hold Terence's left arm to stop him.

Terence stop in shocked and he look at Dee's hand before he look at Dee again. "What?? What is it??"

"Should I teach you how to talked to the patients then??" asked Dee with a wide smile.

Terence's eyebrows furrowed at Dee's words. "What are you talking about? Teaching about what??"

"Eih, don't pretend not to know... Let's go, you said that you will gather the data from two more wards, right?? I will teach you how to take data in a fun way," said Dee while she hold Terence's hand and drag him to the door.

"Hey, I don't need your help. I can do it my self..."

"Come on, Terence... Don't be shy..."

Dee and Terence walked on the other side of hallway to the second ward. While they were walking, Dee didn't see the warning board for wet floor.

Terence didn't want any help from Dee but Dee keep forcing Terence to follow her. When they already ten steps from the first ward they came from, suddenly Dee slipped on the wet floor.

The grip on Terence's hand loose and Dee instantly fall to the front. She has no time to react or pulled anything near her to support her.

"ARGHHH!!" Dee's loud and squeaking voice echoing through the hallway.

Terence who was shocked to see Dee is falling down quickly reach out his right hand to hold Dee's hand and pulled her body toward him. Terence's left hand quickly hold on to Dee's waist to support her from falling down again. The file he hold were thrown away due to the sudden shock from the situation.

The pulling effect was so strong that make Dee almost kiss directly to Terence's mouth but thanks to their position, their mouth only inches away from each other.

Dee's eyes widen on the situation between them and she quickly pushed Terence again but once again she slipped. Terence quickly grabbed Dee's hands to hold her.

"Stay still would you?? You might fall down again. Lucky I was quick enough to grab you," said Terence concern. He don't want Dee to fall for the third times anymore.

Dee smiled awkwardly to Terence. She still remember how close they are until it almost look like they were kissing and that make Dee feel very uncomfortable.

"Thank you, Terence...."

Terence sighed heavily. He walked again and take the file that was thrown away before. Terence look at Dee again and he show his left hand.

"What?" asked Dee clueless.

"If you don't want to fall again, it is better for you to hold onto me... See that warning sign there? These floor is still wet," said Terence.

Dee look at the warning board and with a dull face, she look at Terence. "Oh!"

"Don't just give that look, give me your hand..."

Slowly Dee put her hand on Terence's hand. Terence then hold her hand tightly while saying, "Watch your step."

Dee nodded in agreement and they start to walk. It was so awkward to holding hands in this hallway.

Terence look at Dee's hand without Dee realised it. Her hand was so warm... It make me don't want to let go this hand forever....
