Shocked

As she gain her consciousness, a bright light immediately met by her gaze. Hana was startled at the place and look around just to realize she’s been in their school clinic.

She hurriedly get up on the bed, and was about to ran out of the place when a guy in med uniform grab her wrist. She was surprised and directly turned to the man but when she looked into his eyes, she was shocked and started to tremble.

“Are you okay?” the guy asked right away.

Hana wants to answer but nothing comes out on her mouth, so she keep silent as she calm her body and remove the guy’s hand on her shoulder. As cue on what she wants, the guy immediately move away and let her exit the clinic.

‘I swear, this day was not my luck.’ She thought and walk back to the Art’s department.

3rd FLOOR, ROOM #106

“Zy! What’s wrong? You’ve been spacing out today.” Jaden said tap his friend’s shoulder who’ve been looking outside the balcony.

Zyair was startled and look around to give his friend some confused look. “W-what’s wrong?” he confusedly questioned.

Jaden sighed and get up on his seat, “I think you’ve been stressing yourself a lot this day, your always studying late at night and even skip meals just to study at the library.” He said and give Zyair a concerned look. “Have some rest Zy, I don’t want your Mom to nag me again if you’d get sick.”

Zyair let out a chuckle and stand on his seat, “I’m okay man, that’s not the reason why I’ve been spacing out.” He explained and stand beside his bestfriend who’s holding the railings on his balcony while looking at the night view out on his apartment.

“Then – what’s going on your mind that you’ve been out of yourself since this morning.” Jaden asked.

Zyair looked at his friend and turn back his gaze outside and start to explain the whole reason. “Well – this morning, I’m on hurry because I need to pass my task to Prof. Lewis in Architectural Design! Then I’m on my way when I bumped into a little girl and she’s kind of thrown and hit on the wall, so I hurriedly try to help her. But when she looked at me, she got shocked at fainted!” he said and let out a sighed.

“Ow, that’s sounds bad. Did you helped her?” Jaden asked anxiously.

“Of course!” Zy defended. “I help her immediately and bring her to clinic right through because I don’t want to catch more attentions from other students.”

“Well it’s good though, but that’s not the point! Then why were you spacing out? Did she injured herself?” His friend continued to question.

“I – I also don’t even know, after I bring her to the clinic… I also left and leave her to the nurse. That’s why I’m very concerned right now, I didn’t also know if she’s even studying on our school or she just visited because she looks some kind of young and small.” He confessed. “I feel bad for her, I think I scare her so much that she even collapsed as she looked at me. I feel so sorry that I can’t even … apologize.” Zyair was so concerned and felt sad as he explained everything.

Jaden understand his friend’s concern and also felt bad. Zyair, his bestfriend and also his cousin was a buff and tough guy. But that’s all everything can be seen outside because the truth is he’s still a baby and a soft person, especially to girls and kids. So maybe he’s really upset that he makes a girl faint due to his tall and big body.

Hana didn’t have enough sleep because she stay all night, thinking of her not so happy moment yesterday and how it turns into a mess. She’d hate herself for panicking easily, but yeah! Hana can’t stop it because she’s still traumatized on what her brother-in-law did, the almost touches and harassment he do. She can’t help to imagine and be trigger if that thing would happen again so everytime some random guy talk to her, she would start panicking and also collapsing due to fear.

“Thank you!” She half whispered as she get her drinks and exit the café. She needs some caffeine to stay up on his 8 class for this day.

As expected and usual, the guard didn’t passed her to the gate immediately. Checking her ID and so what was the always she needs to do, so accepting and being used to it is the only thing she can do because she hate talking and having conversation to people.

-

Five hours straight of class is unexpected to Hana who’s been hungry and sleepy since it started, so as her last professor end their class. She hurriedly run to the cafeteria to grab her lunch and even breakfast because she didn’t take some as she get to school.

The lunch was best and good thing but not as she feel her stomach growled and aches, in fear of getting an upset stomach. She run quickly to the school clinic which more near to their department and she’s glad to that information.

“What did you come here for?” the nurse asked instantly as Hana entered the clinic.

“I-I need some medicine, I … I have some kind of .. upset stomach.” She said and can’t help to stutter.

“Oh, have a seat on one of the bed first! I will get the medicine for you.” The nurse replied.

Hana politely followed what the nurse said and sit quietly to the bed near her direction. As she try to wait for the nurse who get the medicine, Hana felt the bed moved and look immediately to her side. And there it is, a man with a mask and round glasses on his face. She got startled and give him a confused look so the other person start to talk.

“Hi! I wear this facemask because I think you won’t panic if I cover my face. I mean that- “ she cut him off and smiled to the guy.

“I’m okay, I just feel shock everytime so I panic instantly.” Hana explained. She’s not stupid to not recognize the guy who’s wearing a med student uniform.

The guy look away and turn down his gazed, “I’m sorry, I – didn’t mean to startle you yesterday. I kind of feel bad and unexpectedly saw you again, so here.” He said and offered a yogurt milk to Hana even though his gaze was on the other way. “I – I think I need to leave now, again. I’m sorry!” he lastly said and walk away.

After he left, the nurse turn back and handed Hana the medicine for her stomach. But the girl was still dozed off and still processing on what happened. She left the clinic with a flustered and confused look.
