Chereads / The Wrong Train / Chapter 7 - Your Name

Chapter 7 - Your Name

One man said, "I guess he's not here" and they left.

I pushed him against me

"Ouch! Calm down young lady"

"Ma'am, your coffee" The waiter arrived.

"Oh! Thank you" he gave a bright smile to him.

...

He looked at me while sipping his coffee for the third time and said "Are we not gonna talk?"

I just looked away

"Oh come on Creepy foreigner!"

"I do have a name and by the way, don't you think you should apologize?"

"Okay sorry but I had my reasons"

"Apology not accepted"

He frowned at me "So what's your name?"

I stand up to go, "I don't think it's important anyway this is our last time seeing eachother"

As I tend to step faster towards the door,

"Ah! Somebody help! What happened to my dad?" A girl cried for help.

I ran towards her, everyone in the cafeteria gathered around too.

She cried, "Please help my dad, I don't know he just black out all of a sudden!" I couldn't understand what she said as she was speaking in Korean but I knew the man needed treatment.

"What are you doing?" Kyong stepped in as I push the old man's chest.

"It is a cardiac arrest! His pulses are responding but call the ambulance!" I had no time to explain any further information since he was passing out.

"Okay okay" Kyong called the ambulance

"Give me the phone" I said as I tried hard to keep his heart pumping by pushing my hands hard on his chest.

"Hello! A man around 60 years old had a cardiac arrest and just blacked out! I checked his pulses and they're responding. I cannot hold it for too long, I expect you to be there within 20 minutes or he'll die" I talked over the phone and the whole crowd was staring at me.

"It's okay! He'll be fine!" I said to his daughter

Kyong translated it for her.

The ambulance arrived just on time.

....

"I hope he'll be fine" Kyong pet my back

"He must be!" I smiled at him because I was happy to just save somebody.

And there was Kyong again, he looked at me in a funny way and ask, "So are you a doctor or something?"

I replied as we walk on the streets, "I left medical college in my third year"

The road was chilling and just perfect for a movie scene.

Kyong became curious, "Why would you do that?"

I punch his chest, "I don't think I know you enough to give you a reason, and why are you following me now?"

"You are so rude!" Kyong laughs at me

"Analia... Analia Martinez" I said loud

"Huh?"

I looked at his brown perfect eyes, "My name. Analia Martinez is my name"

"Oh good to officially meet you finally" He smiled and he has cheeks dimple when he does.

"So why were those men looking for you the other time"

There was silence for a while and it was getting dark just perfect moment of the day when everything becomes orange. I call it the golden hour.

"I don't know if I should tell you this but I ought to tell you since you help me get away from those people"

Right before us was the Subway, "But before that, Are you hungry? because I am" Kyong gives a sad expression.

We entered the Subway.

"So it's a long story" He said

"This must be because people don't simply go looking for someone in black tux" I make a curious look in my eyes ready to know what was happening.

He takes a big bite of the chicken drumstick, "So it all started when I was in my final year of high school"
