A distinct nurse

1109 Words
 Siin was still in his state of euphoria when a paramedic car had drove towards them to convey them to the hospital, which was just a few minutes drive away. A nurse , who held a feeding bottle in her hand rushed to the Mortician and got hold of the baby. She had been informed on phone by the Mortician to come along with some milk for the infant. A child who had spent the whole night in the freezing cold, needed to eat and the Mortician had wasted no time to point out that fact.  " What a beautiful child. I'm so glad he is still in perfect condition. May the good Lord be praised for saving your life. " Said the nurse as she fed the infant with the milk from the feeding bottle. However The expression on the faces of the paramedic team was nothing Short of shock. The same fellow who had fallen from the seventh floor or the Great Zaylan tower , just a week ago was the same person who was walking heartily and full of life ,  unless for the occasional limp in his right leg. With puzzled expressions  , they looked at each other in search of answers to what sorcery had brought back the young man whom everyone had written off to be deceased. As the paramedics van drove to the hospital, Siin had noticed that unlike most of the team members who were scared and refused to make eye contact with him after they had administered some treatments to him, there was a young lady among them whose facial reaction was distinct from others. She had habored a constant smile on her pretty oval face and the joy in her eyes was pleasant to the view of Siin. When he caught her gaze she turned her face away and smiled. For Siin it was the fact that she exhumed an aura of care towards him that made him like her but her arsh eyes, pointed nose and pink lips didn't attract Siin. She was an epitome of beauty who was clearly not more than nineteen years of age as that was Siins perception. " You are without fear Said Siin" as he sipped a hot tea that had been prepared for him by the same lady so that he could get some body heat before they arrived at the hospital. " Should I be sir?, " Said the young lady in one of the most effeminate voice he had ever heard in his life. " Not at all. I just survived a lengthy coma. Seems everyone in this van thinks I am ghost except you and the little infant over there." Said Siin in a volume that was audible for all four members of the paramedic team to hear. " No not at all sir . We.. we .. aren't scared sir. " Said one of the paramedics who had been silent all through. " I am happy you did not die sir. I was among the team who picked you up from the top of the van when you had an accident. Your bones seemed to have been broken in countless places or maybe it was just a wrong accession as i can see you walking perfectly with out any aid. " Said The Young lady as she brandished a smile towards Siin, that exposed the perfection of her white dentition. " Thanks. Thank you all for saving my life after the accident." Said Siin as he adjusted his head to meet the gaze of all the team members. " It's our pleasure sir . " They answered rather too quickly in unison, with an exception of the young lady who only smiled at Siin. " I believe you are a good nurse. Your sense of hospitality is really elating. What's your name." Asked Siin with an air of confidence. His rebirth had seen his shyness , depart from him . He felt a new confidence whose origin he could not yet comprehend.  Maybe it was the amount of knowledge he had gotten from his moments with  Gamblesense or perhaps it was the ultimate promise of wealth from Kaltumi. He couldn't actually tell which in particular, but he was just glad for the new power he felt in his possession. " Thank you Sir. My name is Ramlah." Said the young lady as she blushed from the excitement, Siins comments had brought to her. " I will go back to sleep now . I had a rough night and I need to catch some rest . " Said Siin in faint tone and rested his head on the pillow of the bed he lay on. " Well sir, I don't think that is the best option at the moment. We are already at the hospital. " Said Ramlah  and giggled innocently. All the while she spoke, her team members were in marvel at her wits and show of confidence in the presence of a ghost. " Oh mine. That was quick. Said Siin." As he reciprocated her giggles . Their  gaze met each other and Ramlah looked away but not before dispensing one last smile for Siin as a possible Souvenir from her charade of Smiles. Soon, the van was parked and everyone alighted. Siin was helped into the ward by the two male Paramedics, while the baby was rushed straight to the pediatric unit for further check ups. Just then a middle aged man wearing a lab coat headed straight for Siin with excitement written all over his face. " Mr Siin. I'm very glad to see you. Words cannot express the joy I felt when i was informed of your commendable  act of bravery in the morgue. Thanks to you . The baby is safe and sound. Oh may the good Lord be praised. We now have a chance to finally breath. " Said the  man, who was about sixty to sixty five years of  age and was of European descent.  He hurried forward and held Siin in a warm embrace. " You are welcome sir . I am just glad the baby is alive and safe." Said Siin as he tried to understand who the , Jesus looking , European was. "  I am very glad, that you were alive at the right time to save the baby. You have really saved us all . Just have a rest for now Mr Siin . I will check back on you in a few hours time ." Said the man, who finally freed Siin from his embrace and left to his office in a merry mood.
