Chapter 5 Bump you

My lips parted as I watched the place where the nurse had pointed me in the station earlier. I looked again at the paper I was holding and the address written on the tarpaulin.

I rolled my eyes around, there were three large tents standing, people who are I think, patients, nurses and doctors.

In the first tent there are the patients who register, in the second the check-up area, and in the third the medication is given. I looked at the assistants there, those in white and with a nametag on the left side. I was out of breath because it wasn't easy to find Anthony Selastino.

"Excuse me Miss!" I was immediately put aside on the road because of the force of her words.

"Are you a patient? Registration in that tent, " she said, even pointing to the first tent. I noticed that she was also wearing white and that she was a nurse on her nametag.

"If not, you can step aside because you're on the way ma'am," she said before leaving because she was called. I was not able to leave immediately due to panic. I was terrified of that situation even though she just told me to step aside.

I tapped my cheek to clear my mind. I didn't know where to start so I just went to the first tent to ask. Wait, what will I say when I see him? Most likely he will run away from me especially now that he ran away from Akuji.

"Excuse me ma'am. Is Michael Gineva here? " I asked the first woman in white I saw. She looked at me curiously.

"Yes ma'am? Why are you looking for him? " she asked so I stopped. What should I tell her?

"Ah, I'm his friend." I smiled at her so she wouldn't be suspicious. She looked at me again but now she examined my whole body from head to toe.

"She's in the third tent, ma'am!" she answered me.

"Are you sure you're his friend?" she asked again. I nodded to her and smiled.

"All right ma'am!" she said before turning around and go back to what she was doing.

I noticed that some patients were looking at me, so I immediately apologized to them. I was allegedly covering the TV show.

I was watching what the doctors were doing in the second tent so I walked slowly. I narrowed my eyes to see what a doctor was doing, he was taking a patient's blood pressure rate but the color of his arm was obviously changing. Has he been doing that before?

"Ouch!" I immediately said when I felt the ground behind me. I looked at my hand because it hurt. I was scratched and there were a few small stones there.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?" I looked at the man fixing his clothes, I stared at his face. My lips parted, I could not move even if I forced my body.

"So handsome," I whispered softly. I immediately covered my mouth because of what I said. He frowned and looked at me badly.

"Do you like sitting there?" he asked. I came to my senses when I heard that. I immediately stood up so I used my injured hand. I blew it right away because the pebbles sank.

"Are you okay?" he asked again. When I did not speak, he knelt down. Then I noticed that the medicine he was carrying had been thrown away. He picked them up one by one, I sat down to pick up the others as well. He didn't speak even though he turned to me.

When we finished, he immediately turned his back on me. He ignored me so I left. As I walked to the tent I look at the scratch on my palm. I'll just treat myself when I got home. I took a deep breath before looking ahead and stop walking. I looked at them, there was no man in his 40s there.

I was about to walk closer when I felt the push behind me so I tripped. I held on tightly to the grass I had fallen on. I just wanted to be eaten by the earth out of embarrassment, almost everyone looked at me. Right in front of the tent I stumbled.

"I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't see you because I brought something." said the one who collided with me. I looked at him annoyed, he gave me his hand so I accepted it to help me stand up.

I looked at his nametag, his name is Michael Gineva. My expression changed and I immediately looked at him but he wasn't looking at me, he's looking below with scared expression.

"Are you--?" I stopped speaking when someone spoke from behind me.

"What happened?" his voice was angry. He walked over to us and looked at what the man was carrying that had fallen on the grass. I followed his eyes, now I know tha reason behind the man's expression.

He frowned at me and then to the man who was still holding my hand. I immediately took it back, he then took a deep breath.

"Sir Michael, you know you brought vials. Why aren't you careful? " he said in a strict voice.

"I'm sorry doc, I'll just report to the main first,"

What? Report? I just found him and now he'll leave?!

I reached behind him to stop him but I couldn't because someone was holding my hand. I turned to him and frowned.

"And you Miss, you had done many accidents already, if you can't stay in your seat then better leave now." he said. I was dazzled because he's the one I bumped into just now. I winced when he squeezed the wound in my hand so he also looked at it. He sighed before looking back at me.

"Let's go, I'll clean your wound." He pulled me into the tent so we grab the attention of people there.

"What happened doc?" asked a man holding a paper.

"Just a scratch," he briefly says. He led me to a chair so I sat down. I just watched him while he was busy looking at the table.

"Stay here," I looked into his eyes but he immediately avoided me. He went to another tent.

"Where did you meet doc?" I turned to my left because of that question. The others with her approached.

"Are you close with doc?" One nurse even covered her mouth.

"No, he'll just clean this," I said to them and showed my palm. Their expressions changed.

"I'm sorry, I thought you're doc's girlfriend!" said another nurse before looking at the tablets on the table. She counting them.

"Are you sure you're not his girlfriend?" chasing another one. They stopped when the guy they're calling doc approached us.

"Can you please go back to your assigned task? The queue of patients is getting longer. " They acted after he said that.

"Doc do you want me there?" offer of a man. The guy just looked at him so he just smiled awkwardly.

"I said I would go back to our tent," he said. He looked at me and smiled.

"Nurse Tolentino, Miss." He waved at me but left immediately when the guy glared at him.

"Give me your hand," I immediately reached out my palm to him. I looked at his serious face while he was busy with what he was doing. I looked at his name, it was familiar to me but I can't remember where I saw or heard it.

"I'm Callum Massimo," he said and looked at me. I was surprised because I had been looking at him before so I was suddenly distracted.

"Ouch!" I complained when he suddenly pressed my wound. I looked at him annoyed but also stopped because he was looking at me.

"Don't cause trouble here again." he said while looking into my eyes.My world stopped in the depth of his eyes. He's like talking to me with those. I shifted my gaze at the man who dropped a box on the table.

"There you go," I looked at my bandaid hand. I let out a sigh before standing up. I took my bag and placed it on my shoulder. I walked away but stopped when he grabbed my arm.

"Don't you know how to say thank you?" he asked. The forehead are furrowed and I raise a brow.

"Your staff bumped into me so you just have to treat it." I answered. I looked at the man before, he can't disappear from my sight anymore. When he finds out that someone is looking for him, he will definitely run away again.

"You're something Miss. You also lost your manners when you stumbled. " He smiled at me. Annoyed, I removed his grip on my arm. I just glared at him before leaving.

When I got out of that area I immediately looked for Mr. Gineva. I noticed that he was restless when he landed the box, he wasn't looking at me either, he was avoiding my eyes.

I smiled when I saw him hurriedly grabbed his bag and walked away. He looked around before entering an alley. I followed him, I can't rush him in front of people.

I stopped when he stopped and slowly turned around. His eyes widened and he ran quickly.

"Shit! I wasn't wearing shoes! " I complain before running.

Today is your day Mr. Gineva, I will not let you run away. I smirk when I remember the price in exchange for this man. I chased even faster, he just ran straight, he didn't seem to know where to turn.

I lost my smirk as we exited the alley, more people walking around. He turned to me and smiled, mockingly.I bit my lower lip to control annoyance. He walked suddenly as if nothing had happened so I also walked because we could grab attention when I ran.

I nodded playfully when I reached behind him. We are waiting for the traffic lights to change to cross. I smile when I saw his sweat forming on the side of his forehead. His hands were also shaking and restless.

"Anthony Selastino," I called his name. I whispered it in his ear, I smiled even more because his hand trembled even more.

"Fck!" I shouted when he suddenly pushed me when the light changded. I immediately clenched my fist because I was able to used my injured palm in support.

"Are you okay Miss?" a woman close to me asked me. I nodded before standing up.

"What is that guy? Is that a maniac? Why were you pushed suddenly? " a man asked.

"I'm fine." I smiled at them before leaving. I crossed the pedestrian but I could no longer see him. I sighed in annoyance as he boils blood.
