Daniel left the glass on the table. He looked at the drunk Dennis who was babbling about how single he was. Daniel knew he didn't date anyone because of his work as Dennis was busier than Daniel.
He took the drunk Dennis to his car. He knew that this would happen so he didn't drink. He sent Dennis to their apartment as they were roommates.
Their apartment was sparkling as if they never went there. The reason for that was that they were usually busy that they spent most of their nights in an on call room at the hospital.
It was apparent that the apartment was expensive as it was too spacious that a family of ten could live in it comfortably. The apartment wasn't the only expensive thing. The furniture also looked expensive.
Daniel took Dennis to his room and threw him on his bed.
Daniel went to his room and tried to sleep for a while till he succeeded and slept.
On the next day, after Daniel did the cardiac biopsy. He told the lab to speed up the results as it was an important patient.
Daniel went to check on Sera to kill some time.
'Knock bam bam knock' Daniel opened the door to find Sera putting her headphones and making music on the tablet. He didn't understand what she was doing exactly but she looked elegant while doing what she was doing. It was as if she was in another universe. When he asked her before why she excludes herself from the world when she makes music, she told him
" I make feelings. These beats could change a person's mood or give him a push to achieve his dreams. It could even inspire people to do marvellous ideas. I need to do it perfectly. It's like creating a person. To me music is something sacred"
Daniel knew that she respected and loved what she did. This made him respect her even more.
Daniel sat on the chair and waited for her to finish.
About 15 minutes later, she noticed Daniel. She removed her headphones and started talking
"How long were you waiting this time?" Sera asked as it wasn't the first time for this to happen. When she makes music nothing could make her stop.
" 15 minutes. " Daniel answered with a smile to hide his sadness but Sera looked through it as she was an expert in acting and hiding her true emotions.
"Waiting for the results aren't you" Sera looked at him warmly.
" yeah!!" Daniel said while looking at the ceiling.
"I can't help you except play some music." She removed the headphones from the tablet
"This is my new album. The one that will change the world. I haven't recorded the lyrics but you can still feel relaxed." She started the music. It began with calm and warm sounds then changed into fierce and free sounds. It felt as if someone was being freed. Daniel indeed felt relaxed but he wondered what inspired her to make this piece of artwork.
"What inspired you to make this?" Daniel asked her.
"Well, this song is about me and my parents. It isn't finished yet. When it is complete, you will feel something different." Sera told Daniel but she realized that something was off about him
" you are still mad at what I said aren't you" Sera pierced through his eyes. She was referring to the conversation they had the day before. She knew it would open a big wound.
" I know you are right but I can't admit it. It's better to blame myself." Daniel told her.
"Dan, I used to do this with my family and look how corrupt we are now. Your family still has hope but you should start with yourself. You need to admit that you haven't recovered from her death."
Sera told Daniel words that meant something only to him. After hearing about his family she realized that everyone changed after his grandmother's death. His father became aggressive and wants to control the family. His mother did nothing. The aunts and uncles started to hate each other. Daniel's grandma was the glue that held this family together. Sera also realized something that she also experienced.
" Daniel do you like dancing?" Sera asked him suddenly.
" yeah, I used to love it a lot. Why the sudden question?"
"Your grandmother was a dancer, wasn't she"
"Yeah she was. She was also my teacher. I was the top dancer thanks to her. I used to work hard just to make her proud....." Daniel stopped after realizing what sera was pointing at.
" your grandmother died of a heart attack and after about six years you became a world class heart surgeon" Sera added so that Daniel could get what she was referring to but she was interrupted by an intern who brought the results of the biopsy.
Daniel looked at them and knew instantly that it was the worst case.
Daniel looked at Sera with pained eyes that made her understand.
