Juliet Admission

"Hello!"

"Evening, is that Peter?"

"Yes, evening ma"

"How are you doing? Rose sent your number some hours ago but I decided to let you rest for some time after I heard what happened to you."

"I'm fine, thanks for your concern."

"I would be happy if you resume as early as possible, hope you didn't sustain any injury?"

"I was beaten a little, so I would like to have some rest."

"Ok, how about you have a rest for the rest of the week and resume next week."

"Then I will be thanking you for the troubles."

"No trouble at all. Take care of yourself."

Peter put the phone on speaker for Juliet to hear seeing how suspicious she was, when the phone was put on speaker, Juliet knew Peter was aware of her suspicion. After the call, Peter explained further, "she is the deputy director of the company I went to for job, the Rose she made mention of was the girl I dropped my number with."

"Ok, thanks for the explanation. But who is Anna?" Peter was stunned, he didn't know how she knew about Anna. "I saw the name and number on a card after I help you removed your shirt." She continued. Peter really wanted to ask her why she was so concerned about having ladies around him, but he decided not to because he didn't want to hurt her, even without asking her, he knew the answer already. So it's better not to open a drying wound. "Anna was the lady who treated my injury in the bank, she gave me her number so I could call her if there is any issue with the injury." Peter responded, he didn't want to go into details because what he wanted was a rest but he could not summon the courage to tell her to leave his room because she would be sad hearing such. Juliet kept questioning him about his day which he had no choice but to answer, he was unwilling to continue with the conversation, he still didn't show it through his facial expression.

"Peter, I will be traveling tomorrow." Juliet said after some silent. "Where are you going to?"

"I went out to check my admission status today, and I have been offered an admission, I will be going tomorrow to go and complete my registration."

"I thought you were through with your tertiary education?" Peter asked.

"Not yet, not everyone would be like you and beside I had some delayed in my education."

"Do you want me to go with you tomorrow?"

"No, my dad will be going with me. Just take care of yourself and make sure you call me from time to time to check on me, I will be satisfy with that."

"Ok, I would make sure I call you every hour to show my sincerity."

"I hope you keep to your words. And also no fish is allowed when I'm gone." Juliet said with difficulty, it was obvious that the last statement was heavy for her to push it out of her mouth. "You should call Anna to tell her that everything is going well." She quickly added to cover up what she had said. Peter could only shake his head before putting a call through to Anna, even if she had not made mention of it, he would not dare to think about it let alone putting it to action.

The phone didn't ring for long before it was answered, it was as if the person on the receiving line was expecting a call from someone. "Hello, is that Peter?" Anna asked.

"Yes, how are you doing?"

"Why are you just calling now?"

"I have to clean up and do some things before calling, sorry I made you worried."

"I'm okay, how are you? Hope the nose didn't give you any pain?

"At all, I am feeling better."

"When will you drop by?"

"I will give you a call."

"I will be expecting it, take care."

After the call, Juliet told him to shower before sleep. Peter request for a bandage to plastered the hole on his chested which she later provided. When she was about to leave his room, she stopped on her track after she remembered something. "Did you eat something when you were out?"

"It really escaped my mind." It wasn't that he didn't want to eat, he didn't remember to eat while he was out, even up till the time it was brought up by Juliet, all he had in mind was to have adequate rest. While he was growing up, he had learnt to rely on the energy provided by his body than the energy gotten from the food he eats.

"So you haven't eaten since morning and you are also planning to go to bed with an empty stomach." Juliet didn't know what else to say, she pitied him to the point that she was unable to nag him. She left to prepare something for him and returned some minutes after with a plate of meal in her hand. She even went through the trouble of feeding him the food after he had taken his bath. When she was leaving for her room after the meal, Peter forced himself to tell her not to wake him up if he wasn't awake when she's about to leave the next day, because he really want to have a good rest, if he could sleep for a whole 24 hours, he would be very grateful.
