Daniel went to the hospital to find a solution to what he did .he turned the hospital upside down searching for Dennis until he found him in the attendings lounge.he looked at him and Dennis understood that Daniel messed up. Dennis had just finished checking up on his patients. He was about to leave but Daniel looked like he had killed someone. Of course Dennis would have to cover up for what he did as they were friends.
" What happened ?" Dennis asked Daniel in a worried tone and an anxious gaze. He put his bag on the table as he knew he would have an all nighter. Daniel checked that the lounge was empty.
Daniel told him everything that happened while cursing himself. He kept going left and right like an insect that was searching for someone to scare and it made Dennis feel more anxious and stressed.
"So that answers your question .I need a solution" Daniel finished and stopped walking left and right and that made Dennis relieved. Dennis found the problem not that severe but he realized that his friend was developing some kind of bond between Sera that he himself didn't realize. Dennis met every single one of Daniel's girlfriends and not once did Daniel say she was the one or that he loved her. He didn't even act like he was in love. He knew Daniel too well as his friend never believed in love.
"I have an idea .we tell sera and ask for her help. First you beg her for forgiveness and then you ask for her help." Dennis came up with a good plan that may help his friend in the future.
Daniel stared like a child at Dennis but he knew that Dennis was right .he also reached that conclusion but he didn't want to do it . Now there is no other way. He had to do it.
"Fine ,come with me " Daniel gave in and asked Dennis to accompany him. Dennis gave him the ' what would you do without me ' look.
They went down the hallway till they reached her room. They found the door closed. It was 10 PM so there was still hope of her being awake.
Daniel couldn't bring himself to knock on the door. He was afraid of what was about to happen as he felt ashamed of what he had done. For him it was unacceptable and he knew he had to apologize . He was blaming himself because he did something only scum would do.
Dennis looked at his friend and found this sight was too hard to watch so he knocked on the door to try to lift some of the responsibility.
"Come in" her soft voice made Daniel more guilty of what he did .
'how could he have the audacity to face her ' he thought to himself but in the end he gathered his courage and opened the door . He looked at her then looked away. He was like a child coming back to his mother after breaking her favourite vase but it was way worse.
"Oh it's you !! Shouldn't you be at the family gathering or did you chicken out?!" Sera asked Daniel in a teasing tone. She felt that Daniel's aura was different. It felt like he was regretting something.
"...." Daniel wasn't able to look her in the eye. He couldn't even speak to her.
Dennis knew how Daniel was feeling. As more than 10 years of friendship came with the power of reading each other's minds. Dennis felt the need to help his dying friend so he spoke up.
"Look sera , Daniel here went to the cursed dinner but he messed up big time .he didn't want to hurt his pride in front of them so he screwed up. He did something that he believes is too terrible. He couldn't undo it and he knows he is an idiot" Dennis said this in an elegant way and his British accent made it more graceful but that didn't matter to anyone in that room. They were more focused on the topic of Daniel messing up. Sera started grasping the situation as too much details were pointing at one theory.
"Daniel, what did you do?"Sera asked Daniel in a serious tone and a stare that would make anyone tell the truth but Daniel didn't look her in the eye .he tried but he couldn't.
Sera wasn't that dense. She put the pieces together and realized everything
" Dan , I have a theory and you will tell me if I am right or not.the first thing I found puzzling was both of you coming here . If you messed up you could have waited for tomorrow to tell me but it was urgent enough to tell me now or it was related to me. Second , you couldn''t even look me in the eye or say a word from the moment you set foot in to this room. And that made it clear.you messed up and it is somehow related to me. I know you were expecting your family to be angry because you got dumped so I am guessing you unintentionally used my identity as your new girlfriend. Please correct me if I am wrong although I doubt it " Sera's words made both of their jaws wide open . they never would have guessed that she was that smart.
