Chap. 30 : Things Get Patched Up
The next day, Carol woke up as usual.
' Another boring day. But come to think of it, I'll have peace and quiet.' Thought Carol.
By noon, there were still no visitors.
' Perfect ! Now I can meditate.' Thought Carol happily as she sat up straight. But how wrong she was. In the middle of meditating, the door opened softly and in came a figure.
" Didn't the notice on the door clearly state that no Hiwataris are allowed ?" asked Carol, still closing her eyes.
" I don't care." Said Kai firmly, tearing the notice Carol drew into pieces and throwing it into the dustbin.
" Please go out. I don't want to waste my energy on showing you the exit. I believe you know where it is." Said Carol sarcastically.
" Thanks for the offer but never mind. Your rooms nicer than the others." Said Kai, sitting down on a chair, staring at the grayish walls before turning his gaze at Carol.
" Thanks for the compliment but I believe I told you to get out." Said Carol, her temper starting to boil.
" Can't I stay here ?" asked Kai.
" No." said Carol firmly.
" Give me one good reason why should I leave." Said Kai.
" Because you're irritating." Said Carol with her teeth clenched, finally opening her eyes.
" That's not a good reason." Said Kai.
" I said get out." Warned Carol, ready to blow any minute.
" No I won't. I wanna stay here." Said Kai childishly.
" I SAID GET OUT !" Yelled carol, followed by coughs. " Cough ……"
" Please get out." She croaked, after regaining her voice.
" How can I leave when you're in this state." Said Kai, handing her a glass of water.
" I can take care of myself. Thanks for your concern." Said Carol, putting the glass away.
" All I ask for is to stay until Tyson and the others come." Said Kai, making a deal.
" Fine. Just don't bother me." Said Carol as she continued meditating.
It seemed like hours Kai was staring at Carol although it was only five minutes. Carol ignored Kai and kept on meditating until it was time to take her medication.
" Quit staring." Snapped Carol as she tried to stand up. " Why won't these feet work." Muttered Carol.
" Guess I'll just take it for you." Said Kai, pouring a glass of water.
" I hate being a pain." Said Carol quietly as Kai handed her a glass of water.
Carol stared at it and raised an eyebrow.
" It's not poisoned." Said Kai as carol gulped the water and took her pills.
" Thanks." Said Carol.
" Ms. M. Blac," said the nurse, popping her head in. " It's time to exercise."
" Right." Said Carol as the nurse helped her to a wheelchair. Kai just followed Carol and closed the door behind them.

It took days for Carol to get the hang of how to walk again. One day after the training, the nurse in charge left Kai with Carol in the exercise room, rushing off to attend a meeting about some medical thingy. Kai took this chance and asked Carol a puzzling question.
" Why do you care ?" asked Kai.
" Pardon ?" asked Carol.
" Don't play dumb." Said Kai.
" I really don't get what you mean." Said Carol stiffly. Kai just kept quiet for the next few days.
Visitings from Tyson and the others were always fun. They always made Carol laugh. On the other hand, visits from Kai were quiet and shy. Kai will just stare at carol like some pop star while Carol will just ignore the stares and kept on doing her stuff.
" Should I apply for another room ? You seem to like this room very much." Said Carol.
" Nothing. Just keep on doing your stuff." Said Kai.
-
One snowing day, Kai took carol out for a stroll in the hospital park;
" Alright spill. What do you want ?" asked Carol straightforwardly.
" Nothing." Said Kai.
" I don't believe it." Said Carol, admiring the snow falling sky. " Just a few more weeks and Christmas is here."
" Tell me carol, are you angry with me ?" asked Kai quietly. ( More like a whisper )
" Why ?" asked Carol uneasily, playing with the snow.
" Just asking."
" What do you think." Said Carol.
" I have absolutely no idea." Said Kai.
" To tell the truth, yes." Confessed Carol quietly.
" Sorry. I didn't want her to hug me actually." Said Kai as Carol looked at him.
" You sure ?' asked Carol.
" I cross my heart, hope to die." Swore Kai.
" Hn." Said Carol as A slight smile lit across her face. " Can we go back now ? It's starting to get cold." Shivered Carol as Kai hugged her warmly.
" Promise me something Kai." Said Carol.
" Hn." Responded Kai.
" This isn't a dream." Said Carol, smiling slightly.
" And neither is this." Said Kai as he reached out for Carol's lips, kissing her gently.
' Wish time will stop at this time.' Thought Carol.
Sorry that this chap was short. I didn't know what to add in. I'm sorry !
