Eliana p. o. v.
It has been two weeks, after the messy time I had with that stranger at the birthday party.
I struggled to remember Ethan. He dropped me off, but I was very drunk. Ethan told me he was the CEO of a media company. I didn't care about that. It was just a one-night stand. I promised myself it would never happen again.
I made my final stop at the supervisor's office to drop off my project report. Then, I pushed the door, and it creaked open. I glanced at the supervisor. He focused on his desktop. He tapped away on the keyboard and other project paper cluttered his table.
"'Sir, this is my project report,'" I said with a smile and a calm voice.
"Okay, you can leave it on the table,". He replied distractedly, not looking up from his screen.
I nodded and placed the papers on the table. Then left his office immediately.
I'm glad that our vacation is just a week away. I've missed home so much!
Every time I remember I am about to graduate it always brings back the eight years ago memory, when I was twelve, my father severely beat me for getting a low grade. He warned me that if I didn't improve, I wouldn't get into university. Scared, I worked hard, earning high grades and securing a university spot. Now, I'm excited that I will graduate next semester as a chartered accountant. "Finally, I'll make my father proud".
I snapped out of my thoughts and turned the door handle. As I stepped into my room, I breathed in deeply and appreciated the sweet fragrance that filled the air. A soft sigh escaped my lips.
Not until I felt an urge to throw up did I rush into the toilet. I squatted at the toilet bowl, and then I vomited out the mashed potatoes and sausages I had for breakfast this morning. I heaved out everything and my body shivered violently.
I Inhaled heavily. Then I raised my face and the mirror revealed my pale complexion, with my weak blue eyes.
My body felt drained.
I touched my neck and my skin was very hot.
"What's wrong with me?". I whispered. I guess it's just a little health issue. However, I'm visiting the school health care center right away. I turned down the toilet water reserve tank switch and flushed away the vomit.
I closed the toilet door behind me. Then I grasped a warm bottle of water and sipped a bit. Next, I quickly picked up my handbag containing perfume, lip gloss, and my phone, which I call emergency kinds of stuff that I always take with me. "Ahh uhh," I groaned, feeling a strong headache. The sickness was already taking its toll on me.
I arrived at the school health center after a ten-minute walk. I pushed open the glass door and stepped inside as I was hit by the cold air. I walked past patients seated in the waiting line to have an appointment with a doctor.
"H,m a". A nurse approached me with a smile across her lips.
I returned her smile.
"Are you one of the school students?". She said with a humble and inquiring tone.
I felt dwarfed by her height, I couldn't stand out with my 5'2 foot.
"Yes, I am a three-hundred-level accounting student". I replied, showing her my identity card with a grin on my lips.
"Okay, come with me, while you tell me your problems". I followed her behind.
"I truly want a check up. This afternoon after I came back from my lectures, I had this sudden throwing up and headache". I poured out to her with a heavy sadness sample on my face.
"Any other symptoms?". She asked turning back and staring at me.
"Yes! My temperature raised heavily". I answered her, holding my head and I veventedut the pain through my face
she took me into ward twenty. I got seated on the patient's bed. Then she placed a stethoscope on my heart. She silently listens to my heartbeat for a few seconds.
"Alright". She shook her head and took down a few words on a piece of paper with a brown hardback.
"Please tell me what is wrong with me". I begged her as she wrote down.
"The test process is not yet complete but I promised you everything would be fine". She replied with a calm tone settling my worried self.
I was a little panicked seeing her with an injection.
She held out my hand and inserted the injection into my wrist. She deliberately drew blood from my hand into the injection.
"Ahhh". I screamed a bit with my eyes planted on her.
"Sorry". She apologized and cleaned my wrist with a ball of cotton wool.
"Miss Eliana, I'm taking your blood to get tested. You have to wait a few hours here for the result". She explained to me.
"Alright, I'm waiting". I replied cheerfully.
Two hours felt like an eternity, I have to wait the most. I murmured to myself.
Okay then, I started watching the TV while away time.
"Oh my god, that guy is so crazy". I laughed at the man on the TV screen, trying to catch up with this train and he was holding his trousers in one hand, and his tie was untied.
His shirt buttons were unbuttoned.
"huh". I think someone on the train informed the driver about the situation and the train was made to stop.
"He is lucky".
He dived into the train as the door was wide open.
"Oh no". I smiled excitedly. Everyone else was staring at him like who is this weird guy?
The man shrugs them off his shoulder and continues dressing up as the train persists on its journey.
As I enjoyed the TV show. I heard the door opening and I spun my neck backward, landing my eyes at the nurse with her smile.
She looked like she was done with the test, holding the result in her left hand.
"That was fast". I said.
"I could say congratulations".
I paused and glared at her. She tossed me a pregnancy result!
