Everything happens for the better
I lied to my parents, saying, that I fall asleep at hotel and everything was good. Thank God, I already told them, that immediately after reaching hotel I planned to sleep, as I was very exhausted. Next, I called my project manager and told her the truth... She said, that she is happy, I am okay now, but they will have to find another person for a project and wished me to get healthy soon. I got devastated. Guy, that we had no chance to get acquainted yet, was watching me in devastation putting mobile phone aside.
- "You okay?" – he asked.
- "Yes, don't worry. There is no need for you to wait here, I will manage everything by myself, you'd better go."
- "No. I will stay. I must. I won't forgive myself, If I leave you here without helping you to get better and be safe. I am the reason..."
- "No, you are not the reason, lets simply forget, now I got too many problems to deal with, so please just go..." - realizing that I lost the project, made me so angry, sad... I didn't want anyone next to me. Guy stood up without saying anything, with deep sadness in his eyes and reached the door. – "I am Berat, by the way, you seem to get bad news, I will visit you later. Stay safe, doctor told, that you will get out in 5 days. See you." – he went away.
Strange, I wanted him to come back, he was the reason why I lost the project and will have to pay for hospital and ticket costs to get back to Russia, but still, I wanted him to stay with me. Oh, never mind, headache stroke again, it's better to try to sleep, now.
One day passed
Waking up in the morning, realizing where I was, why I was here, but not being able to stand up freely as I felt how painful it was for me, made me feel helpless. In addition, idea, that Berat, who promised to visit, will be here again made me feel different, or even happy... Had no idea why thinking of him made my heart warm, but I tried to shake of that thought and called nurse. Nurse came and informed politely about all upcoming doctor visits and that I had no severe injuries and pain in my legs were due to muscular injury which will cease down in few days.
Hospital meal came, I was surprised how tasty it was. Turkish cuisine is everything. After ending my meal, I noticed that Berat was all this time standing at the door and staring at me with tired and sad eyes. I felt shame for being rude to him, yesterday.
- "Oh, hi Berat. Come inside, why you are standing in there and how long you've been in there?" – I tried to hide happiness but smiled to him.
- "I thought, you'd get mad from seeing me and, actually, you totally have that right."
- "No, I am not mad at you. Sorry for yesterday, I got bad news from work and got sad."
- "Don't apologize, please. Nothing bad had happened if you'd never knew me..."
- "Berat, I have harsh believe that whatever happens happens for better." – I said and smiled to him, sincerely. His eyes widened with surprise and the next moment he smiled back at me. I felt warmth rising in my heart.
- "Listen, don't get me wrong, please. Can I insist on helping you to get out to the fresh air, while coming, I checked with nurse your doctor visit schedule, we have 2 hours for walking in hospital garden." – he said smiling and from that smile I felt warmth again in whole my body. I understood, that I don't want to resist, so accepted his proposal.
