“What? Still not done yet?”
I asked her with my mouth arching upward, forming a slightly frowned face. This does not happened once, but couple of times when she sneaked out just to informed me that there are some checkups which she had not done with yet.
Without giving me an answer, she smiled sweetly, with the corner of her lips hooked themselves to my heart, before returning back to the room.
Her red smile is all what it takes to calm the anxiousness in my heart.
Couple of things had happened for the past few days, with both of us finally discharged from the hospital. However, Audrey was still as impulsive as ever, especially after she found out that the bloody incident involving me was not what she thought was.
Also, I was even surprised when the doctor had requested a body checkup on her instead of me, someone who got stabbed in my stomach.
It is not that I wanted to drag this any longer but I was really worried about her when the doctor mentioned about the checkup.
What could have happened to her?
I’m pretty sure there is no other way to reassure me apart from the test result. Therefore, I promised to accompany her for the checkup.
Thus, I was here in the very same hospital for the third time in my life despite having an exam which supposed to start right now.
Still… A promise is a promise.
Sitting on the cold hard plastic seat along the hallway, waiting for her to finish dozens of body checkups she need to take, hoping that the next time she left the room was the time for us to leave the this place.
The people who had walk passed me, seems like the seconds hand of the clock, ticking away as though telling me that the time I spent waiting here was significant.
My eyelids were as heavy as metal, keep shutting for countless amount of time.
“I’m done!!”
Her energetic voice pierced through the silent hallway, so loudly that many pairs of eyes were staring at her, wondering what had happened.
The voice of the very same girl was right now standing right in front of me. Her pink lips spread like the sun on the horizon with bright emotion coming right of her face.
She placed her small fragile-looking hands onto my shoulder, trying to lift me up, but to no avail.
“Come… come…”
Her alluring voice which seems inviting me to follow whatever she say, had successfully made gave up my seat as I stood up.
The same girl was now looking upward onto my face while intertwining her hands with mine.
With her smile which radiates from her mouth, she said.
“Where shall we go next?”
I stood blankly for a moment before replying.
“I need to do a checkup as well…”
With a questioning expression on her face, she replied.
“For?”
It was a short and quick reply of her, as she was wondering on why did I said that for.
“To get a MC of course…”
I replied without thinking through my head as it is common sense for to get it the MC right now.
“For?”
Again, she asked that again.
This time with her head cocked to the right with a big question mark on top of her head.
“For my exam…-”
With her enlarged pupils, she stared straight into my eyes with a jaw dropping expression.
The next moment, a loud piercing sound echoed through the hallway, leaving my back burning as if an inferno had strike on. The force was so powerful despite coming from a girl who has a small built.
I wished I could scream, but I didn’t. Instead, I turned back and looked at her.
She frowned, but bits of smiles still leaked out like tiny cake crump sticking onto her mouth.
Her simple smirk, lights up my heart like a shooting star on a midnight sky.
For an instant, all the warmth and happiness had been poured. Not into the sky, but into my heart.
Nonetheless, the most beautiful thing about her was her smile…
