I couldn't leave the room and leave him alone. I know it's crazy, but I have the impression that he feels scared when he's by himself. I don't believe in stories of people connecting with patients, but I feel like Renato is calling me.
"Renato, tomorrow I'll bring the TV here and we'll watch a movie. What kind of movies do you like? Horror? I prefer a good comedy. My life already has enough horror." What kind of horror? I don't want to talk about myself, but later on, I'll tell you a little about my life.
I finished the hand massage and took the pulse oximeter. I quickly released it; it gave me a shock.
"Wow, Renato, did you feel that? Of course you felt it. I'll call Julia. She needs to call maintenance; the device is giving off shocks, you could get hurt." My heart is still racing; let me see yours.
I put my hand on his chest and felt his heart racing, but I felt a different energy, like his skin was tingling under my hand. I quickly removed it; I'm going crazy. He's been like this for 10 years and in one day I've already started to see things. I called Julia on the room's intercom.
"Miss Isabela, did something happen?" "Yes, I was massaging Renato's hand and I got shocked. I think you'd better call the maintenance person."
"Are you all right? I'll call right now; they'll be there soon."
"We're fine, but it's best to check because Renato can't keep getting shocked. His heart might not be able to take it."
I heard someone speak, but I thought it was Julia.
"That's right; maintenance will be here soon to fix the problem and we won't have to go through this anymore. I was tired of getting shocked." It wasn't long before Julia came in with a very handsome young man and introduced him to me as Lucas. She left and left us in the room.
"Now Renato is in good company; you are much better than the old lady who used to stay with him." "Lucas, do your job and I'll do mine." I stared at the young man's body, and what a well-defined body it was. If it were another situation, I might even try to talk to him, but since I'm terrible at conversation, I would certainly ruin everything and he would run away, and as always, I would be frustrated. Suddenly, I heard a melodious voice.
"And now I have to watch her stare at the maintenance guy's butt. I'd rather keep getting shocked." I looked around and it was just me and Lucas in the room. Who was that? Are there cameras here and someone is watching me day and night? It's a good thing I didn't change here, otherwise they would have seen me naked. D. Aurora should have warned me, this is an invasion of privacy, I heard again.
"Send him away, Isa, there's nothing wrong with the devices." I stood still, not knowing how to react because Lucas didn't seem to hear anything. If I had already been asleep, I would have thought they had put a chip in my head. No... I'm just tired, that's it. After I get some rest it will pass. Lucas finished the checks and said to me:
"Look, I didn't find anything wrong with the devices, but if it happens again, call me and I'll come running."
"Okay." He held out his hand and gave me a card.
"This is my private number, call me when you are off duty so we can get to know each other better."
"I'll think about it, but I'm warning you, I'm very boring."
"Think carefully; I'll be waiting for your call." I heard the voice again and it sounded irritated now.
"She's not going to leave me here and go out with you, get out of here and stop hitting on my nurse." I decided to ask Lucas.
"Did you hear anything? Did you hear a man talking?"
"No, the room is silent. Are you okay?"
"Sure, I'm tired. You can go down now; Lucia must be waiting for you downstairs."
"See you later, Isabela."
"See you." I heard again
"What a jerk, get out of my room. If I got up from here, you'd see the size of the punch I'd give you." I looked at Renato and felt like an idiot; this is what happens when you keep talking to him. Your mind even made up a radio announcer's voice for him to speak inside your head.
