Pure Love

Chapter 8

I was a bit surprised when Mr. Hamilton said that I did a great job during the surgery. I thought he didn't know how to praise people for their work but it took me off guard when he said that. I don't know why but when he said I should attend the next surgery I felt like he was doing that on purpose because back then in the OT he was stealing glances at me during the surgery.

I usually feel uncomfortable when people stare at me but when he was staring at me I felt nothing uncomfortable. This is not going in the right way, I need to be professional with him at any cost, I thought to myself.

I had my lunch and went to Mr. Hamilton's cabin because he ordered me to be on time. Without wasting any time I knocked on his door and heard the response. I entered his cabin and saw that he was preparing to leave, so I was on time, I thought to myself.

I cleared my throat to get his attention but he was still doing something ignoring my presence. I felt like hitting him in the gut for being so full of himself and arrogant.

I lost my patience to wait for his reply and said in a cold voice "Mr. Hamilton?" that was when he looked at me for a brief moment and frowned his eyebrows and composed himself and said "Let's go"

What was that frowning about? I thought to myself. I was following him to the OT when I heard a beep sound on my mobile indicating I got a message. I thought it could be an important one and checked my mobile only to see that it was an advertisement message. When I was about to place my mobile in my pocket I bumped into his hard back and squeezed my nose.

"Ouch!!" I muttered and rubbed my nose. I looked at him and saw he was annoyed. "I'm sorry" I whispered to him. He just frowned and continued to walk to OT.

What is his problem with me? He again frowned at me. If he keeps on frowning like this then he will soon get wrinkles on his face. When I imagined him with wrinkles I almost burst out laughing at how funny he would look at this age. I silently followed him to OT without uttering a word.

By the time we reached OT there was another person whom I did not recognise. We changed into our surgery costumes when Mr. Hamilton and the other person were whispering something that I couldn't hear. I shrugged it off as it was none of my business and focused on the task.

I was following both the doctors instructions when I noticed that the other doctor gave me an impressed look. I internally patted myself for doing my job right. I know that Mr. Hamilton is stealing glances at me from time to time but I just concentrated on the surgery to get a clear view of how to perform. I really was interested in learning these things practically. I am a quick learner so this is not hard for me to remember what I need to do and how.

I was so involved in doing my job and observing the things that I didn't realise that Mr. Hamilton was just inches away from me. I made a good distance between us as I thought I was the one who went near him unconsciously.

'Rin, idiot, get a hold of yourself' I thought to myself. My heart was beating erratically when he was just inches away. I composed myself and focused on the work.

After the surgery I observed the other doctor talk to the patient's relatives. When he noticed my presence I just smiled at him. He gave me a nod and introduced himself as Dr. Isamu Fensby. I also introduced myself and left the place.
