Wake up
Rick was hearing faint voice of raya early in the morning...
Bibi it's past 9 already... Waaaaaaaake uuuuuup...
Morning sunshine,
(rick moaned)... Ugh my head hurts..
Raya handed him a bowl of medicine... Here, hangover cure..dad made you drink quite a lot last night... Why didn't you refuse??? Raya asked worriedly..
Rick knew he needed to comfort Raya through the time of big change in her life.... She seems to worry a lot about every little thing this days.. So he just gulped the whole bowl of cure..
Yuck,,, this stuff never tastes good,Rick said making a funny disguted face .
Don't worry,,, i used to drink a lot with my friends when i was young now that I'm getting a little old, it seems to taking a tole on me.. Plus I couldn't lose face in front of your in - laws now, could I? Rick tried to assure Raya.
Raya hugged her beloved brother from his back and said,
Why do you love me so so much... How would live without you, i can't just leave you alone, i wish mom hadn't left us so early... I wish there were someone who could take care of you while I'm not around. Can't I just not move out. My office is nearer from here...
Raya was rumbling on and on with a shaky voice and tears in her eyes...
Rick turned back to face Raya and wiped her eyes with his sleeves saying
It's okay, I'm an adult I can take care of myself. Sure I'll miss you a lot but ill be assured that what an responsible person you heve grown into. You'll have your own family. Ron can't just move in with us. He has a lot to learn. He'll be running a whole enterprise by himself from the following year. Just visit me often. That would make me happy. Now let me freshen up I've to go to the hospital. More like i have to run.
Raya got up as she started to leave she stated with a bold voice,
If you fall sick or something wrong happens while I'm gone I'll be taking you with me. Just remember that.
Yeah, Yeah Mom... Now let me get ready. Oh and ask lex to pay me a visit this afternoon. I need to do another check up on him,rick got out of bed saying those lines to Raya.
Raya left assuring Rick "sure thing, bibi... I love you"..
Love you more,,,,,
Rick took a shower as he was reeking off alcohol. He was looking at the bathroom mirror while drying and styling his hair for the day and suddenly felt something was off last night. As if someone was looking at him continously... As if their Gaze was fixated solely on him for the whole time. But Rick was too drunk to remember anything from last night engagement party.....
Then he got ready and left for the hospital.
One the way to the hospital, while driving he couldn't shake off the feeling from last night and tried to remember that persons face. But failed each time.
He reached to the hospital and shared pleasantries with the nurses and the doctors he met at ER with a bright smile on his face then started his shift.
At 11.30am he felt like his head was hurting and mumbled to himself "I need coffee" and headed to the cafeteria at groundfloor. The cafeteria had glass walls around. He ordered his regular and sat on a table resting his hands and head on the table. He was thinking about the current patient of his who had chronic issues and had a long sigh...
After a few minutes the barista called his name "dr. Erick, take your coffee" Rick went there to take his coffee and the barista asked "you look somewhat slumped today 'doc.is everything alright?"
Rick replied, "everything is fine. My sister got engaged last night. My dad threw a party and I had a few drink. Now my head is killing me."
"owh congrats doc. Should've took the day off then."
"thanks and i felt lonly at home so decided to do the shift but I'll be taking off early today for sure." rick replied as he finished his coffee. He threw the paper cup in the dustbin next to him and started walk toward the elevator. Just when he was walking away he felt the familiar feeling from last night as if someone's unswerving gaze was on him. He turned back to see if anyone truly were there but failed to witness anything suspicious. He again mumbled to himself "I should watch my drinking from now on. It's all in my head after all"
Around 3.30 he called Raya to ask if she told lex to see him at the hospital. She confirmed him that lex will be there aroun 4 o clock.
Rick was waiting for his brother and tried to pack up for the day. Somehow he forgot about the feeling from earlier.
