Chapter 3 nightmare happened

Chapter 3

After that happened, I never went back to the hospital to visit James.

A few weeks have passed since that nightmare happened, I haven't heard any news about James, apart from him regaining consciousness.

So thank you very much, I hope that his recovery continues and does not get worse.

If Jeremiah is the one he loves, why should I stay by his side, right? And why is he begging me to accept him again and love him. I don't even know that anymore.

That's why instead of thinking about those things, I just built a small eatery in our province. For a few days, I made myself a fool to even think about James' condition, he just got better and distracted himself from building a business.

Besides being good at cooking, I can also bake cakes, cookies, and more. So this is the only business I can think of.

The eatery is not totally open yet, but it is open to people who want to taste our various dishes and desserts.

I also thought that, maybe, the grand opening of the eatery will be next time when everything is fixed, there is still a lot to fix. So here I am now and I'm busy researching the equipment to buy.

"That's it, brother, please just get down properly" I said to the one who was lifting the chairs, I thought that there were not enough chairs in the eatery so I quickly ordered.

You know that when there is a lot to sit, there is also a lot to eat. I will add that to you.

"You know sir, I won't be surprised if after a few weeks, your business will become famous" I was going to the cashier to replace Manang Lupe, because he had been working since morning.

I looked at the one who stopped my walking.

"Are you the ones who cooked this, sir?" he smiled and looked at his colleagues.

I also looked there.

"Doc, you---"

"Yes, I'm the one you talked to that night" he said calmly and wiped the side of his lips with a tissue.

He's the Doctor I talked to a few weeks ago, he's wearing white long sleeves and tucked into his black pants, he's still wearing his round glasses.

"Ah, I'm glad to see you again, Doc" I said and smiled.

"So, did you cook these?" he asked back and looked at the plates that were empty because they were empty, they were clean and there were no familiar foods.

I nodded and bowed shyly.

"Oh, don't be shy, I just want to say that you are a good cook" he said and walked towards the cashier.

Actually, there are many of them now in a circle at the largest table in the eatery, if I count them together I will look as if they all have the same profession.

They are all Doctors.

I just nodded to them and smiled shyly, then I left them. I followed Doc, I didn't know his name.

I smiled at Manang Lupe, and signaled that I would take care of the cashier.

"Don't pay, Doc" I said and looked at him.

He adjusted the folds of his white long sleeve and slowly looked at me. It was as if I had said something wrong because of his gaze.

"Huh? Why?" he asked in shock.

"It's just a thank you offering, because you even saved my friend" I said and stood up straight, because of the way he looked at me it was like I was melting.

"No,,, no, it's our duty as doctors to save and heal patients" he said and took out a thousand from his wallet.

I wouldn't take that but that seems rude, doesn't it?

So I had no other choice but to take it and pay him back. He was about to hand over the change when he shook his head.

"Keep the change" he gently promised.

"No Doc, it's our duty as cashiers to give the right change to the customers" I said with pride, I saw the enchanting smile on his lips.

"I like your principle huh, by the way, instead of calling me Doc, just call me Luke" he said as he extended his hand to me.

I looked at that.

She shyly lowered her hand and shyly smiled at me, when I didn't even shake her hand.

"sorry, I'm Archi" I said and smiled at him.

I felt sorry for him as if I had embarrassed the person, I didn't even accept his handshake.

"Nice to meet you Archi, see you around" he said and turned around.

But even before it took a step, I thought about what should be done because I was guilty of what I did.

"D---doc,,, it's Luke" I said and quickly took the brown paper bag containing the cookies I baked last night and walked quickly, then stood in front of him.

"What?" he asked in surprise.

" for you" I quickly stopped speaking when my brain processed the words I said

"Ah, I mean, we're doing a promotion, for those who hit the bill for five hundred, so thank you for visiting and choosing to eat at my eatery" I said and handed him the brown paper bag.

He stared at my hand for a few seconds and immediately took it and smiled.

He didn't say anything else and turned his back sharply, and walked towards his co-workers.

I smiled at the loss.

Thank you Doc Luke.

"Sir Archi, someone has sent charity" the veterinarian I hired whispered to me at my animal clinic.

Actually, I had always planned to set up an orphanage for pets that were abandoned on the street and abandoned by their owners.

So today it's me and I've been busy visiting the animal clinic I set up. I just realized that in these few weeks, God has blessed me so much because of following the grace he gives me.

"Ah, what did they give?" I asked and gently placed the small bag on the table before facing him.

He's the one I trust now at my animal clinic every time I'm at the eatery, that's why I'm so grateful to him and he has it.

"Cage, and a few bags of dog and cat food" he said and pointed to the charities that were received.

A smile came to my lips, that was a big help.

With several sacks of dog and cat food given, there are also many animal who will never go hungry again.

"Who did it come from?" I will ask.

"That's it, Sir Archi, we don't know whose" he said and scratched his forehead.

I thought, whose? and who will give?

Maybe it's to people who have a spring in their hearts and are willing to help.

"Alright Doc Chacha, please just order the other stuff to be picked up and brought to the stock room" I ordered and sat down at the nearby table to write down what was received for the day.

Because of my building businesses, sometimes he also forgot the bitter past and experiences. Thank you very much and I never saw the sight again when it became a nightmare for me.

But sometimes I still can't help but remember my son's death, so sometimes I cry a lot in the nights that have passed.

But, he realized that life should not only revolve around the problem and give up, but the problem should be solved, fight and still continue life.

I looked at the door when I heard the sound of a chain hanging high up that serves as a way for us to hear if someone enters.

I immediately stood up from my seat because of the shock.

Continuation

L--luke" I said in surprise.

He smiled and walked closer to where I was standing.

"Wow, is this yours?" he asked and looked around.

I nodded involuntarily.

"For the paws how need love and care?" he said smiling, I couldn't help but look at what he was wearing now, he was wearing a khaki polo shirt with three buttons open at the top, so I could see small baby hairs and small moles scattered on his chest, there was also a little sweat there.

Her hair is also brushed up and she still wears her round glasses. I smiled and nodded shyly.

"So, can I adopt?" he said, there was nothing wrong with that and he didn't even regret what he said."I need love and care too"

My eyes rolled "what

"I'm just kidding" I didn't expect to hear his soft laugh, it was like a song because of its beauty. "I'm here to look for a car, I would like to adopt, if possible?" he said and approached the cage where a cat was frolicking in it.

"Ah, is that?, because he can't be adopted" I said confused.

"Why? is there a problem?" he asked in surprise.

"Because that's my cat" I said and stood next to him.

He nodded.

"How about this?" he asked and pointed to my cat's side.

"I can" I answered.

He inserted his finger into the small hole in the cage and the cat immediately smelled it.

Cool.

"What's your cat's name?" he asked and looked at me.

I didn't expect to smell the perfume she used, it smells so good.

"Curing" I said

"Oh, I'm still going to adopt this girl?" he frowned and looked at the cat.

I nodded in response to his question.

"Ow, what a good name, can you think of anything?" he even narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking "Ah, just chicken," he said and I looked at him in surprise.

"Chicken, because I love chicken, like, abodong chicken, fried chicken, chicken wings, and chicken curry" he said and took the cat out of the cage and was playing with the cat's face.

I smile because, nacutetan the way he held the cat and played it. It's cute. Indeed.

"They can play, right?" my eyeballs almost fell when he faced me and hugged his cat.

"how?, they are the same girl" I said in surprise.

"What's up, you're too homophobic, Girl Lover can be that" he said and patted me before handing the cat he chose to our stuff to approve his adoption.

I slowly followed him with my eyes.

And for the second time, I smiled at the loss.

Doctor Luke.

It's too handsome.

I was busy arranging the papers work inside the animal clinic, it was late but I didn't realize it because I was preoccupied.

"Sir, I'm going first" Doc Chacha said goodbye to me, I turned around and nodded.

"Be careful, Doc" I said and refocused my gaze on the paper I had been looking at for a while.

That's Doc Luke's adoption approval paper, I've been looking at it for a while, I don't even know how long it's been.

Luke Winston.

I just found out his full name because of this paper.

"Sir Archi, someone has sent you flowers" I quickly hid the paper I was holding because of the shock I felt in my body.

I looked up in surprise at the person who spoke.

"Yes?" I said confused.

"Flowers" he said and sniffed the flower in his hand

I just saw this man today, and by the looks of what he's wearing, he's a flower delivery boy in our province.

I thought.

Who will give it to me?

I've been wondering these days, in the morning charity now, flowers for me?

"Oh man, didn't you just go to the wrong address?" I asked and put away the papers I arranged before putting them in the locker.

"That's right, can Archi Dahmer do it?" he asked after looking closely at the writing on the bouquet he was holding. "For my beloved, this is what is written, sir, and I did not make a mistake in the address because this is what is written in my log book," the man explained.

Fear is evident in its eyes.

I smiled.

"Alright bro, just put it on the table" I said and went into the stock room to see if the stocks there were still okay.

"AH, sir, sign here first" said the older brother.

I immediately turned around and approached where he was standing. I just signed.

When my brother left, I turned to the flowers on the table, I couldn't help but shake my brain to like it.

It's been a few months since I received something like that.

I loved it.

I picked it up and didn't expect to read what was written there.

From: Your Stranger

To: My Beloved

There is even more written on the side, I love you.

I smiled.

It's a good feeling, that someone likes me too, but I don't know who.

I just shook my head from what I was thinking, I was about to enter the stock room when I couldn't stop my eyes from looking outside.

In the middle of the dark and cold night, there was a man standing near the street light, wearing a purple hoodie and white jogging pants.

Even though it was wearing a black hat, and also wearing black sunglasses, I knew exactly who it was. And I never missed or made a mistake.

He was on the other side of the road, there were a few other cars passing by, so sometimes he was blocked from my sight, but I still focused on him.

Even though he was wearing sunglasses, I knew he was also looking at me, the black hat he was wearing caught the wind and he slowly fell to the floor.

Her hair was also gently air-dried, it was black and frizzy.

The cold wind blowing and the dark night, I know how I feel about that man.

I know very well.

I was not wrong.
