Forced Marriage

Chapter 4

Cat

It's finally coming to the end of my shift. I am exhausted. I see Angela and walk up to her near the main entrance counter.

"Hey Angela. How is the patient Marcus? They never called me back to help him." I smile at her.

" I'm so sorry Cat. I took care of it." She smiled at me.

"Ok no problem. Do you know how it went for him?" I am a bit worried to be honest, but I don't say that.

"Honestly I don't know, but he wasn't happy." I frown.

"Ok. Thanks for letting me know" I smile at her wave and start to make my way to the locker room to change.

I step outside of the hospital and the sun is coming up. It looks beautiful seeing the  different coloured light behind the trees and houses in the distance. So peaceful.
I look to my right and sitting on the bench is Marcus. He is still here? I think to my self, making my way there.
He looks deep in thought. So I tap his shoulder. He looks up with his green eyes and a frown on his face.

"Hi. Can I sit with you?" He looks hesitant but nods. So I make my way next to him. " So how did it go?" I ask as I sit down.

"Well... Since I'm still here you can guess that not as I expected..." I frown.

" You could be waiting for someone... But what did they say? If you wanna tell me that is.."
His frown deepened if that is even possible.

"They said I can't fight. That I can heal this and lead a normal life but not fight." Anger rising in his voice with every word.

"Look I don't know if you believe in God but I've seen miracles happening to people who needed them and maybe if you asked God for help he will. And when they say that it is not possible I have to say that if you have enough faith in God nothing is impossible for him!" I smile at him, he looks in deep thought.

" If God is so good why is my mom living with a horrible man that beats her and I have to saver her all the time? She believes in God so why hasn't He helped her?" His serious face showed me that he has thought about this before.

"To be honest there might be a tone of reasons, but if you really love in faith he will not let you live in pain, my question to your mother would be if she has prayed about it and what answer did she get from God.. because maybe He told her to leave but she choose to stay out of feat or some other reason. Or maybe he is trying to teach someone around her something." He looked at me as if I was crazy. " Look you don't have to do this but I think that trying won't hurt you, no harm will be done. I go to Transformation Church, pastor Michael is amazing maybe you could go as well this Sunday at 9h. Bring you mom and see what you think, and go with an open mind this might not be the type of church you are used to."
I smile at him, put my hand on his shoulder, kissed his head and walked away. With every step I kept thinking why did I feel so close to him to the point I felt comfortable kissing his head. I never touch a man unless is work related, but for some reason this one man make me feel like we know eachother for so long.
