The next morning, they launched a health awareness campaign, then donated medicine and stuff. For Nobel Lin, he was seated in a secluded space and spent his time drawing and gazing far away.
Saw Thadar Phyu expressed her intention as clear as day for Dun Nay Kha. Dun also went with her flow and it can be said that they were making a progress. San Min Myat went to talk to the boy in order for him not to feel bored. Regardless of this, Nobel Lin gazed only at Dun Nay Kha. Observing this, San Min Myat commented on Nobel Lin as an affectionate younger brother.
When Dun and his colleagues finished their work, they had lunch together. Nobody remembered Nobel Lin as they were with their own group. They all had one same idea that somebody might have treated the boy to lunch. But they didn't figure out they had the same thought.
Nobel Lin sitting under the tree far away from the event drew on his drawing book. No one came to disturb him as well.
After having a break, they packed their things to go back to the hotel. Dun put the things on the bus and subsequently, ran to the tree to pick up Nobel Lin.
"Nobel Lin, let's go. Get up. You can continue later."
Dun forcefully grabbed the pencil and closed the drawing book. And he dragged Nobel Lin by pulling his hand.
"Ma Thi, thank you for treating Nobel Lin to lunch."
Dun with a smile thanked Ma Thi. She widened her eyes and looked at them.
"What do you mean? I thought the Doctor would eat with him."
"You don't? I also didn't have time to treat him to lunch."
"Oh my God! It's already 3pm. Noh Noh, you haven't eaten anything yet?"
Dun was anxious and felt a thump. Nobel Lin wouldn't take medicine if the mealtime was not punctual. If he didn't take medicine, his mental state could worsen.
"You guys go back first. I will hire a cab and come back. I will take Nobel Lin to eat something first."
"Ok. Ok. Poor thing! If I knew earlier, I would've treated you."
"It's fine. See you later."
Dun took off his duty coat on the bus and grabbed his wallet and he came down.
"Tell me if you haven't eaten. Why do you say quiet? If you see other people eating, come by my side. I can't always keep my eyes on you, Nobel Lin "
Dun angrily shouted at the boy. He took the boy to a restaurant and treated him to a late lunch. Nobel Lin impassively didn't utter a word and that made Dun angrier. To be honest, he was mad at himself. He did forget Nobel Lin.
"Eat slowly. And you will take medicine."
Dun let out a sigh as he was disappointed in himself. Whatever the case, Nobel Lin, on one hand, was a patient for him.
On their way back to the hotel, they hired a taxi and passed through Lily garden. Nobel Lin stared at the park from the beginning to the end. Even when they were far from the park, he looked back and was dazed. Dun decided to calm down and asked,
"Nobel Lin, do you want to buy Lily?"
At the end of his question, Nobel Lin locked his eyes on him. Then, he nodded and replied,
"Can I?"
Dun also agreed and asked the driver to turn around. When they arrived at the park, Nobel Lin, appreciating the flowers, strolled around the park. Under the green roof, some of Lily were breathtakingly blooming.
"I will give you lilies in bloom. Is that your brother? He is so cute."
When Dun was buying the flowers, an uncle who was arranging the flowers shot that question. It was undeniable that Nobel Lin was blessed with a face that everyone adored.
"You're right."
"I'll also give you Lily seeds as a present. It seems that he's really into Lilly."
What a lucky boy! He had people in line wanting to give him presents.
"Yes, he is. Thanks a million for your gift."
When Dun placed the bouquet of Lily flowers into Nobel Lin's hands, his eyes got wider and scrutinised them. Well, it appeared that Nobel Lin was a great fan of Lily.
All of a sudden, Dun recalled what Doctor U Myint Moe said that the boy would express his feelings in some way. Then, did it mean if Nobel Lin fancied something, he would look at it with his big eyes and carefully look at it? If learning the emotion were lessons for Nobel Lin, then Nobel Lin was a difficult test for Dun. Although Dun knew the final answer, he didn't know how to answer properly.
They got back to the hotel and relaxed for a while. After that, they planned to go to the hot spring. It was the size of a family pool and soaking into hot water in the middle of cold weather helped one relieve stress and nerves. Moreover, it was the time for some men in the group to show-off their muscular body.
Nobel Lin adorned tank top with shorts and without going into the water, he just sat on the chair beside the pool. They all knew Nobel Lin was terrified of water so no one made an effort to call him to soak in the hot spring.
Saw Yatu took off his top and pointed at his own muscles. He, then, called Nobel Lin and said,
"Noh Noh, take a look at my muscles. This was the sign of a manly figure."
Though it was funny to listen to Saw Yatu who was proud of himself, he indeed received glances from the nurses. It was true he was also one of the handsome doctors at their hospital.
However, Nobel Lin didn't even spare a glance at Saw Yatu. The person who appeared at last was Dun who instantly made all the girls blush. They were used to seeing Dun with a duty coat. Thus, they never had the chance to see his strong muscles under the coat. With a broad chest and six packs, it made Saw Yatu cover himself with the towel.
Dun threw the towel he brought on Nobel Lin's head.
"There is a bathtub inside. Warm water is available. If you want to, go and soak in it."
Nobel Lin wouldn't step in the pool for sure. He used the bathtub so it would be okay.
Nobel Lin looked at the place Dun pointed at and leaned into his chair. Then, he concentrated on the drawing. Dun, without saying another word, just dived into the pool.
"Doctor said that you have a talent for drawing. Could you draw my portrait?"
It was Ma Thi who just spoke and went near Nobel Lin who was picturing a man without a face. Nobel Lin thought hard for a while. He turned the new page and looked at Ma Thi.
"Pose."
"Oh, you are really gonna draw my picture? I don't know how to pose so I will just smile."
Ma Thi sat down on the chair beside Nobel Lin and came face to face while smiling. In a short time, it drew the attention of most of the girls and they circled around him. It took ten minutes to finish drawing Ma Thi's portrait. It was drawn simply with a pencil and it was neat and magnificent piece of work.
"Wow. It's a masterpiece. I'm in love with your art, Noh Noh."
When Dun heard this, he walked to that crowd. Because he was curious about the boy who can draw portraits. Dun thought that Nobel Lin could paint only the drawings of nature and color mix-up.
The portrait drawn by Nobel Lin was skillful and graceful. He also put the date under it. Dun inscrutably looked at Nobel Lin while wondering how many mysteries or secrets Nobel Lin had he didn't know of.
