When the Fate Changes

Chapter 16

HILLARY

Being with Mr. Dylan for a while has helped me realized many things. Even though he is in Dr. Rain's body I still see many differences from his personality. He taught me to accept everything I have for now because one day it might change and one day everything I have now might be gone in my hands.

I know he still doesn't realize that what he needs to find is himself not his girlfriend. He need to love himself first before others, this is the reason why he can't find answers. And, that's the words that I can't tell to him because we really doesn't know each other.

We're just helping each other and that hurts me. The way he was being desperate to find his girlfriend than himself makes me pity him more. That is what I realize after he walks away from the car that night.

I want to stop him but I also wanted to give him space to think more deeply and reflect on what's really going on. When he came back, I thought he will find answers but I think he doesn't want me to know about he's thoughts.

However, I'm just glad he came back because I think I will be angry to myself if he will disappear.

He prepare the breakfast again early in the morning. I can't thank him because I don't want him to think of any malicious things that my actions and words do or say. I always wanted to put lines between us because we're still men and women and I'm always thinking about his girlfriend but I'm actually always grateful to everything he do.

"I think I will be late later so don't wait for me. I'll visit my father and little brother today" I said not looking at him.

"Okay, just call me if you're already in the gate so I can open it for you later tonight" he said.

"I'm actually thinking if I will sleep at Ellie's house today so I will just call you if I already decided." I smiled and stand up. I say goodbye to him and run fast outside the gate.

Actually, it was always hard for me. My heart always beats fast when I'm talking to him but, I don't know if it's because I still see Dr. Rain or if it's because Mr. Dylan always appreciate everything I did. And, all that I can do was to avoid him.

After work, I don't have the time to say goodbye on Mr. Dylan and I think it was better. But, I still saw him standing and looking at the taxi I rode from the side mirror. I want to wave goodbye at him but suddenly my phone rings. It was my father waiting for me.

"Hello, where are you?" he asked.

"I'm still in the taxi, Pa. But, wait for me there" I said.

"Okay, Hill... But, go to the hospital not to our house there was something we need to confirm. Take care, I love you" he said.

"Okay, Pa. I love you too" I said and turned off the phone. I wonder what is it that he wants to confirm. I don't want to ask him in the phone because I want to talk to him personally so that we can talk for many topics.

After a few hours of commuting I finally get to the hospital. My father texted me the room number. I am not actually really surprised that they are in the hospital because the last time I called my little brother and father they told me about the man that was in comatose for about 2 months now.

As I open the door, the atmosphere was not that bad inside and it was very comfortable to rest because the temperature was enough to deeply fall asleep. I hugged both my little brother, named Howard and my father.

I saw the man lying on the bed. He was actually familiar to me and I think I know him for so long.

"Did you find his family?" I asked.

"Actually, we're still not trying to find his family. We're waiting for him to wake up. I think that will be easier for us to find any relatives he has and the last police who came here said he will do his best but until now he's still not going back" Howard explains.

"If his body will be removed from the hospital the doctor said it will be hard for him to recover." my father continues.

"So what is his condition now?" I asked.

"He's much better now. We're just waiting for a full recovery and actually that's not the reason why we wanted you to come in here" Howard said "I actually feel that a soul was roaming around him from the very first time we saw this man and the past weeks though I'm actually not sure."

I look around to every corner of the room but I can't see any souls and I can't also feel something. This is actually the gift that my mother give to us before she died. Howard has strong sense and instincts to souls and I can actually see ghosts and souls that cannot find peace.

"There's no souls here. I think you're just hallucinating" I said.

I actually see souls everyday especially, I am working on a hospital where people heal and dies. It was also hard for me because I needed to pretend that I can't see them. This gift was also the reason why I constantly believe that Mr. Dylan was in Dr. Rain's body it's because a different energy comes from him.

"It will be better for us if we find the body early so that we're not going to think about the hospital bills again" I said. They just both nod at me.

After we all talk, I say goodbye to Howard and my father so that they can also rest because it's too dark and I know they we're both tired from working. I always to think about their health so that they can work freely again.

I leave them both again but I'm hoping to see them both soon. I'm actually half lucky because I can still visit them and my family still know me but in Mr. Dylan and Dr. Rain's case they both have their fate changes.
