"Two days of being here"
"It's more than what she thought"
"Her friend called her to talk with her"
"When will she get to know about her loss?"
Jurin was eating breakfast with Bryan and William. The food on the table included toasts, strawberry jam, orange juice,pancakes,tea,and water. Jurin was enjoying the tasty pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream. The weather was pleasant and it wasn't that much hot. The winter season was also close to come and soon the cold winds of the winter would conquer the land for a short time before the blooming season comes back to take its reign.
Jurin was feeling tired after finishing her breakfast. Last night she didn't feel sleepy and watched shows and programmes on the television. She slept around 2am and woke up in the morning when the clock had struck 6am. She got a total of 4 hours of sleep which was not enough but as her job she had to take care of William.
In William's room Jurin helped him to change his posture before he changed the clothes. Today he wore a navy blue shirt and blue jeans. When she came back William said
"Take me to the bathroom"
"I have to do that too" Jurin mumbled and was now thinking herself as dumb for assuming that a caregiver would only have to help change postures and serve him food on the bed.
She brought his wheelchair and when he sat on it she pushed it close to the bathroom. From there she gave him support and helped him to sit on the toilet. Giving him privacy she closed the door and waited for his call.
"Iam done" This process of bringing him back was the same but this time it was from the bathroom to the bed and not from the bed to the bathroom.
"Do you want to go to the garden?"Jurin asked thinking he has a routine.
"No,and what's your name?"William questioned. She knew his name and he only knew that she was his caregiver,new caregiver
"Jurin"she responded
"Alright Jurin you can go"William dismissed her.
She exited his room and bumped into a man's chest.
"Ouch" she said rubbing her head.
"Oh sorry" Bryan apologized to her. He was just coming in the room to see his sir William and he also had a task for Jurin.
"Also Jurin can you please start massaging sir William's legs?" The question was weird and Jurin's job as a caregiver seemed to be increasing.
"This book can guide you or you can look up on the videos on the internet if you get bored by books" Bryan said showing her a book. Jurin stared at the fat and heavy book in surprise.
"How does he think iam going to read all of that. No way" Jurin thought and then replied
"I will watch the video instead. Thank you"she told Bryan who walked away from there.
"Ugh I want to go home but that place isn't even my home" Jurin opened the door and made eye contact with William.
"What happened?"He asked her
"Well your secretary asked me to massage your legs so...
"There is no need for that" William told her. He was hopeless of himself. According to him if the pills didn't work then how can massage do the magic?.
"William please don't be stubborn. Beside if I don't do the job then he will scold me for that" Jurin felt tired and just wanted to be done with the work she was given. She moved forward without even realising that she called him by his name.
William stared at her and then looked out of the window as Jurin massaged his legs. Her hands moved up and down. All of a sudden William flinched making Jurin ask
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I think my thighs are ticklish" he told her being embarrassed.
"Ok then I won't touch the thighs" Jurin continued to massage his legs and William founded it relaxing. The room was filled by the noise of the fan spinning in normal speed. Half an hour passed with Jurin massaging William's legs.
"Can I go now?"Jurin turned her face and covered her mouth with her hand as she yawned.
"Did you not sleep last night?"he asked. Observing Jurin's behaviour and actions he was able to know that she was restless and needed a nap.
"Yes. I couldn't sleep last night" She told him and he nodded. She left the place.
--------------------------------------------------
Jurin came into the room which was given to her and heard a buzzing sound. It was too loud to be made my an insect or a bug and it sounded familiar to her. She walked upto her bed and started to look for the source of the noise. She lifted her pillow and found the device from where the noise was coming from. It was her phone ringing as someone was calling her and it was none other than Minnie. She pressed the green icon on the screen and the call between them started.
"Hello" Minnie greeted her
"Hey how are you?"
"Iam good and what about you. How is the caregiver job going?"she inquired quite curious to know about Jurin's thought about the new place and new duty.
"It's alright. I don't need to cook and neither do I need to clean. My day goes by in taking care of William."she told her best friend and laid on the bed. The straight posture was comfortable for her.
"That's good to know"
"Also what's happening on the other side?"Jurin said referring to Louis's house. It had only been two day since she left so she wasn't expecting to hear much.
"Nothing much. Silence lingers downstairs. I don't know for sure but after your departure sir Louis has grown calm. With your over here his anger never ended. Maybe it's just my thoughts." Minnie said to which Jurin bared her teeth. Ofcourse her bad mood could not be sensed by Minnie on the other side of the phone as she wasn't there with her.
"Oh please he just hates me" Jurin tried to make her voice sound normal while her fist was clenched.
"I don't know if it's about hate though" Minnie gave her thought
"Well change the topic. What were you doing right now?"Jurin questioned
"Just sketching" Minnie turned to look at the opened notebook beside her. An uncompleted sketch on its paper. A eraser which was black from its one end on the bed and some pencil shavings in a small can.
"What were you sketching?"Jurin further asked. She had seen her friends sketches before and all of them were of her and an another girl.
"Just some people"Minnie said not wanting to tell anything fruthur. The sketches included a part of her. Someone who shared the same blood as her. Someone who was very close to her and that someone was snatched away by her.
Jurin yawned but before she could say something else Minnie spoke
"Jurin I need to go downstairs. I think sir Louis and Fredrick have came back from their work" the girl waited for a response from the other side of the phone.
"Ok bye"
"Bye and take care" Minnie ended the call by pressing on the red icon.
Jurin added a alarm which would ring in two hours to wake her up. William wasn't her responsibility but she was responsible for taking good care of him. Jurin closed her eyes.
----------------------------------------
Minnie before rushing downstairs picked up all her sketcheing supplies and placed them where they belonged. She took one last look of the sketch she was making
"You know I still miss you Maria" she spoke in a low tone and closed the notebook.
