Chapter 17 - Smooth Talker

Daniel looked at her with curiosity coming out from his eyes. What did she mean by that ?!!. He thought to himself.

Sera started to explain after she started a song. It was only instrumental but Daniel never heard it before. Daniel loved instrumental music to the point of him being an archive for this genre. He felt that instrumental music was clean and full of real feelings.

He started listening to the music that Sera started. He still didn't understand what she wanted from him.

" This is a song I made in the last month. The one that you wanted to hear so badly but I didn't let you. As you can see It doesn't have lyrics and I can't write it. I was wondering if you can do a choreography for it so that I would be inspired and would be able to write lyrics. " Sera finished explaining and the song ended.

Daniel was dumbfounded. He was and still is the best at choreography but he felt like something was wrong.

" You just experienced something awful and you are telling me you can't write lyrics.? " Daniel blatantly questioned her as she was one of the best song writers .

" Hahaha ....this song is about you and me. I couldn't write lyrics cause the music was done about our relation. I was inspired by what happened to us and made this song but it wasn't enough to write good lyrics. I tried but it was garbage. I felt like I needed something more. " Sera told him the whole story.

Daniel was dumbfounded again. He felt embarrassed as she just made a song about them and that meant that she accepted them being in a relationship. Daniel was really happy and he never knew he could feel like that. He accepted her proposal. He took her phone and replayed the song four times. He started telling Sera what he is planning.

" Sera, to do this right we have to remember the best and the worst memories we had in that year. Some of them are hard to remember even for me but let's start with after you began your rehabilitation" Daniel had a serious tone and his eyes pierced through Sera's heart.

This wasn't the first time for Daniel to give her that look. Sera started to remember two months after her sister's visit. She removed her casts as it had been six months since she got admitted. Sadly the hard part was just beginning. She now had to go to physical therapy to walk again but it was hard for Sera as she was barely able to move her legs. She would be in a lot of pain if she wanted to regain her original function of her legs. She started her first session of physical therapy . She had to move from her bed to the chair at the end of the room.

she screamed and cried as soon as they began. She begged for them to stop but they didn't. Daniel only looked at her through the glass. Even though he was used to seeing patients like this , his heart was aching each time Sera screamed and cried or even cursed. He knew he was helping her but the sight was too much for him to bear.

After the session ended Daniel entered Sera's room. His eyes were full of pity and sympathy.

Sera glared at him and started shouting.

"Get out. I don't want to see that look. You think after you have seen my weak state you would have the right to pity me. Get out. I don't want you here."

Daniel didn't leave the room but his heart was in pain. He felt he guilty and mad at himself. He took a step closer to her. She shouted loudly

" Why aren't you getting out of my room. Go I don't want you .... No stay away what are you doing ?"

Daniel tried to hug her but she tried to fight him. Of course he won as she hadn't been able to have her full control of her body. He kept hugging her for about five minutes till she calmed down and stopped crying. What always amazed him was that she never let out any sound when she cried. It made him wonder about her dark childhood. He let her go but held her shoulders with his hands. He stared at her beautiful formerly watery blue eyes.

" You and I are now tied. I won't get out till I get you to your original state. I don't care if it isn't my specialty but I will stay with you till you can kick me out yourself till then I will be your annoying friend."

Daniel finished his heartwarming speech that made Sera's heart beat faster. Only one person hugged her like that and made her feel this warm. It was her godmother.

" I am sorry I yelled at you " Sera apologized while pointing to Daniel to sit on the chair that was her goal in the therapy.

" It will be hard and I recommend that you tell everyone you love to come cause you will need all the mental help." Daniel advised her.

" I won't . No one can know this happened. I don't want anyone here. " Sera ignored Daniel's advice which made Daniel a bit mad.

" Sera , this is your dark time. You need your friends. You shouldn't do this alone if you don't have to". Daniel tried to reason with her but it was of no use.

" Look you are plenty for me. I don't want to make anyone bear my burden anymore and I want no visitors. If anybody comes tell them any excuse. I will do this alone Daniel. I won't make anyone bear my burdens." Sera explained her own point of view but as a doctor Daniel found it unnecessary stubbornness but it was her wishes and he had to do them.

" I will clear my schedule the following month and I will keep my promise to you. I will make you as good as new." Daniel said in a serious tone which made Sera feel a bit happy that she won't be alone. She never liked to burden anyone but she hated her loneliness even though she was the one who chose it.

" You never cleared your schedule for your girlfriends. You will clear it for a patient." Sera wanted to make sure he really meant it.

" I never took my GIRLFRIENDS seriously besides you are now considered a girlfriend too hehe so take it as if I am trying to become a better gentleman " Daniel tried to lighten the mood but he knew Sera was right. He himself didn't know why he wanted to be with her. He gave himself a temporary conclusion and that was because she begged him to save her life at their first encounter. He didn't realize that he had fallen for her. Only Dennis knew and he was eavesdropping at the beginning of their conversation. He wanted to make sure his friend won't mess up but he never realized that his friend was a smooth talker.
