After a few days had passed finally came Sunday and the day that the start of their mission and Nebula's first mission was going to start.
After some time at around 9 in the morning Cedric started moving out of his house toward the volunteer camp to wait for Nebula's arrive.
Time went by and came lunch time, but there was still no sign of Nebula arriving.
While Cedric started to move back to home to eat lunch, he saw Nebula walking in a hurry from a far toward the camp.
Cedric saw Nebula walking fast and with sweat visible on her face, seeing that Cedric thought to himself.
' did something happened to her? Or is someone chasing after her?'
Having these thoughts he rushed toward Nebula to rescue her from the chasers.
When he arrived near Nebula, Cedric saw that nobody was after her. So curious he asked:
Is something wrong.
Nebula while breathing heavily and panting said
No, I am just running late. So I was in a hurry.
Cedric let out a breath of relief
That is a relief. I thought someone was chasing after you.
Sorry to make you worry, I was just in a little hurry. Thank you mister.
Hearing that Cedric realized that to the public their relation was still not known so he immediately tried acting as if he was just helping someone in need.
That is alright miss. By the way where were you trying to go?
Ah, I was just going to the helping volunteer camp.
May I ask why?
That is because, I am new to this area so I wanted someone to show me around and help me with the places such as restaurants and stores around here.
But why in a such a hurry?
That, I thought they would be closed soon for lunch so I hurried a little. I thought while I walk around with a volunteer I can also have a chat with them over lunch.
Cedric who was still mesmerized by Nebula made a smile of joy because he understood that she wanted to have lunch with her while talking.
Miss, if it is alright with you, I can show you around.
No, I won't bother you too much, I will just go to the camp to ask for help.
Then there is no problem.
Nebula looked at Cedric surprisingly and asked
Why?
Cedric with a smile answered
That is because I am also part of the camp.
Nebula smiled and with joy visible in her face she said
Really? That is such a good thing.
Yes, but I will have to ask you to fill an official application so that I can also do my job.
Yes, I will do that right away.
That is good. Now this way.
Both of them start walking toward the camp.
While walking Cedric thought to himself
' it is really nice that she is someone who is quick-witted. It would have been a real Hussle if she was simple.'
Thinking this Cedric's joy could be seen from his face. Seeing that Nebula asked
What is the happy occasion? Have something good happened recently?
Yes, it has. Lately I found a coworker whom I think is quite nice to work with.
Hearing that Nebula became overjoyed Because someone noticed her hard work and dedication.
That must be nice.
Talking with each other they finally arrived at the camp.
Before entering the office Nebula paused for a second and asked Cedric
We have talked for quite sometime and because you will also be showing me around. May I know your name? My name is Nebula and I am a doctor.
Sorry I forget to introduce myself. My name is Cedric and I work as a volunteer and I also do online jobs as a writer.
No need to apologize after all I was the one rushing and even made you worry.
No problem, it is our jobs as humans to care for each other and help each other when we are in need.
That is quite an idealistic thought. I would like to hear more about it.
While they were talking they entered the office and then Cedric replied.
That is nice. But for now how about I ask you to fill the paper for request?
Nebula with a smile replies
Okay I will.
By the way ms.Nebula, do you want some water?
Nebula fastly replies.
Yes, that would be nice. Thank you.
No problem, you sit in here and I will bring it to you.
Cedric goes to bring water while Nebula walks toward the sofa and sits.
When she sits she sees the application paper in the table.
In a louder voice she asks Cedric
Are these the papers that I have to fill?
Cedric comes from the other room with water and replies
Yes. You can just take a paper and fill it.
Nebula curious asks
Why are they all placed on the table? What if someone takes them to fill and no one is around?
Well,that is simple.
Then Cedric points at the board on the wall as he talks
They are placed in there that if no one is around people could fill them and put them in there. After, when a volunteer comes by they will see and do the task.
Why don't you just close the office?
Cedric thinks for a second and then replies.
That is mostly because we don't want to trouble people alot if they come and see office closed and have to come back again and again.
Then why not put someone in charge of office so that they can always attend to guests?
Well, we don't have that much of people working here. Only a few.
I see. It must be hard then.
It is somewhat difficult. But it is worth the joy we get from helping.
After that Nebula starting writing and after a few minutes she finishes and hands the paper to Cedric.
Here i wrote everything that is necessary.
Thank you. Now may we go and look around the area?
Yes, much appreciated.
