Well, life really does have many routes and who knows when we start to walk another one. who would have thought that Ella will be able to change herself and will open up to others so quickly. but maybe this was exactly what she had yearned for so far. this feeling of being close to someone, being important to someone and always having someone by your side was really what she had wished for. and now her wish was going to come true. she was feeling every emotion little by little. the feeling of loving someone and being loved, the feeling of being important to some one and the feeling of having a close friend she was finally experiencing them all. In no time she had become a fast friend to Jayson but what she had felt for Noir was always different. they both had a different place in her heart. Jayson was a very good friend who always made her laugh, who always joked around and kept her company. on the other hand Noir was someone who had completely changed her, her identity , her mind set and her heart.
Now a days, she had been with Jayson mostly as she felt awkward to be with Noir after what had happened. she avoided him on purpose because she did not had the courage to talk to him. when ever she saw him she changed her way. Noir did tried to talk but she always went away making excuses.
Today like usual, she was in her office. suddenly, Noir came in, and said.
"Ella, I want to talk to you.' he was making a pretty serious face this time.
"But I don`t want to as I am quite busy right now." she said without looking at him.
"Ahh! come on Ella. how long are going to make such excuses to ignore me. Huh? why are you doing this? I said that I am sorry about that day..."
"You don`t need to say sorry, besides it was my fault to ask such an absurd question out of nowhere. and who said that I am ignoring you. I am acting as always." she replied back.
"No, you are obviously ignoring me. and I have seen you going out often with a boy. who is he? are you ignoring me because of him? " he asked a bit aggressively.
"Oh. don`t link these things like that. why would I ignore you for some one else. besides that boy you are saying is Jayson and he came to apologize first so I forgave him and he insisted on becoming friends so I agreed with him because I thought he was a good guy. it is just that." she said explaining.
" Just that? so much has happened and you did not tell me anything. and yet you are saying that you are not ignoring me? ha! geez, I think you don`t consider me so important to share your things with me anymore or maybe because you have someone else with you that you no longer need me. but that is fine. you should have said so earlier then I would not have bothered you." saying this he went away angrily smashing the door which was quite out of his character. Ella got shocked to see his reaction. she could not interpret why he was acting like this suddenly. but now she was worried how to make up with him .
she tried to follow him behind but Kate suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked her way.
"you.... why are you blocking my way can`t you see I am going somewhere." Ella said angrily.
"My, My... look at you. why are you trying so desperately to cling to him when he does not want to talk to you. huh? just why don`t you give up already? I told you that he is never going to fall as your prey." she said smirking
"you shut up and move. I don`t have time to listen to your stupid things." she said pushing her aside and ran to follow Noir but he was already gone.
"Ah! come on why do you have to be so aggressive all of a sudden." she said complaining.
Meanwhile, Jayson appeared on the scene. he saw Ella panicked and worried. ' what is it ? Ella ? are you all right? you look a bit disturbed." he said in worry.
"Yes. everything is fine it`s just a friend of mine got angry with me and left. I was just trying to follow him but he is already gone."
" Looks like this friend of yours is vey important to you that you are so worried." he asked raising his eyebrow.
' Huh!.. yeah, "she said and sighed as if thinking about something.
"Ok, now don`t worry he will be alright. because how can someone be angry with you for long when you are such a sweet person." he said comforting her.
" Yeah, yeah enough with the flattery. I am really worried here you know." she said arguing.
"ok I will stop now. so do you want to go look for him" he asked.
"Umm.. no, I think he will be back soon.' she relied as she did not wanted to bother Noir anymore.
"By the way, who is this friend, male or female. a colleague, what is his name? " he asked curiously.
'Easy, Easy, so many question in a row. any way, his name is Noir. and he is my colleague and also a very close.... friend." she said and sighed.
"Hmm.. Just friend. or...." he asked raising both his brows.
"you.. of course friends. what else? and why does your mind always wander of to these things? " she said scolding him. he started laughing." Fine, I am sorry I was just joking. don`t be angry. by the way look your mood is good now just because of me." he said grinning." Yeah, Yeah, thank you so much for this kindness of yours."
And then they left talking to each other while Jayson was constantly pulling jokes. though this has lifted her mood but still she was worried about Noir.....
Then for some days she did not met Noir nor did she saw him anywhere around. she felt somehow uncomfortable and uneasy. while she was still thinking about al this a nurse came running and gasping,
"Miss Ella! there seemed to be something wrong with patient no 4. please hurry." Ella was surprised because she had seen the patient just now and he was fine then how come he suddenly get worse. she quickly ran to the ward. and begun to check the patient. she could not understand what has gone wrong. then she suddenly realized that there was a problem with the oxygen supply. maybe some wrong medicine was given to him. but how can anyone make such kind of mistake. she quickly gave him an injection which stabilized the situation a little bit. but still the danger was not totally gone. outside the patients relatives were crying and cursing her that how can she make a mistake like that being the senior and in charge she had to face all this and take responsibility. this could also affect her career a lot.
After some hours of struggle the situation was finally normalized. she took a sigh of relief. as she came out a nurse informed her that the director was looking for her. she knew what it meant. she was probably going to get scolded for such mistake. but she was still confused that who would have done such a mistake, unless.. it was a set up.....
