Say you Love me

Her dark green eyes look directly at me. And like a fool I again try to find-i don't know exactly what- anything that will tell me she is my Naomi. Sometimes I hate my gut feelings because the eyes that stare at me are as cold as Antarctica. Her eyes hold no emotions. Her blank stare was as scorching as the sun rays of any Desert.

So I broke the eye contact and left the place.

Hope is the destructive emotions. It can either help you to live or destroy you to no tresses. And in my case it's destructive.

"Why did you leave me with a man eating she devil!!" Joshua asked innocently but I know what a devil he is and like I said I find my assistant fuming.

"I asked both of you to stay away from each other if you can't stop your sibling riva-"

"She can't be my sister" Joshua interrupted me and this time his whole jolly smile  vanished and replaced with a stern look.

I raised my eyebrow questioningly but instead of saying he turned to look front.

And when I turned to look at Bidisa, she was just standing looking directly at the stage..

Wow!!

"Hello everyone, and thank you everyone for coming to this party. We are enthralled to share an exciting news to everyone of you"

One of the staff of this hospital announced.

This isn't one of those big parties usually I attend  in fact it is comparatively small and mostly the hospital staffs and doctors are present. And of course my board members, my advisors and the people who are needed and few good news reporters are here to cover the news. As per instructions there are not many reporters especially those gossip channels who love to twist and turn every news.

And I found the staff and doctors bringing their families.

And I look around me to find no one.. I took a deep breath. How ironic, I was the one never wanted to be a family man and here I am now wanting nothing but someone to hold my hand, I want her now more than anything.

"I am here for you" Joshua comes out of nowhere and stands beside me

I open my mouth to shoo him from my side.

"I am here for you too sir" I heard Bidisa from the other side.

I hung my head low, these two.

Although I like the sentiment, I am no fool to admit it.

"Just because I don't treat you both sternly  you people are taking my liberal nature for granted" I said by composing myself into the cold person everyone titled me as.

"Hmm" They both humm

"I would love Keith to come to the stage and say more as he is the person behind all these"the announcer give the microphone to Keith.

"Hello Guys, thank you all again. I wouldn't have achieved this without your support and of course without the help of our kindest investor who are investing in our hostpital. It was our dream to help people when I and my friends were in college. It was our dream. And although we did open a small medical Center, this hospital was the vision of someone else's too,this person guided us and invested her everything to this hostpital. She helped us not as an invester but as one of us"

And I know Kenna you are confused now but this was to surprise you. We all decided not to tell you because we wanted to surprise you. Our hospital will expand now like you always wished for"

Keith walked towards Kenaa who looked confused and awkward and I saw sliver of flinch when the camera and the bright light foccus on her, but her cold composure returned in no time.

They both whisper, and if she didn't like the idea, she didn't show it to others. She smiled towards the camera and nod.

Keith turn towards the camera and smile and every one started clapping and cheering  for them. The couple looked good together.

"Thank you Kenna for everything, it was you who showed us the way. And now we have someone else who wants this hospital to grow and help people in need" Keith looked at me and smile.

"Thank you Mr Dawson for everything. And sorry if I said something wrong because as you know I am not good with camera but I on behalf of everyone is grateful for your kind help " He smiles again and the cold person who wasn't even bother to look at me  , finally grace me with her cold stare.

What did I do to receive her cold shoulders!!

And why the fuck it is bothering me!!

She is not my Naomi. She can't be my Naomi.

And after the all mingling and speeches. I was finally called on the stage.

"Good evening everyone,
My board members already told about our investments, the legal aids as well as medical aids that will be provided by us, about the investment agreement and also our moto and function.

I am not going all those things but I will definitely like to state the my reason and moto behind this. This hospital is not for my business purpose and my company will not treat it like a business either.

I saw potential in this hospital and saw it's people and learned about their works and it touched my heart.

My mum died when I was very young, I couldn't save her because her treatment was expensive and my father wasn't capable to pay so much that time. And then my father got cancer and most of his time he remained sick but this time I could give him good treatment but he once told me that some of his old friend in Cancer patient home weren't financial strong enough to pay for their health.

He saw one of his friend died in front of him because of that and that incident really hurt my father and he once told me to do something for those people in need.

I always wanted to invest in hospitals but most hospital now have business mind set and I don't want to invest on something like that but I guess I finally found it.

M-my....... My wife... My Naomi was very enthusiastic about working for people, she always went to visit people in hospital, gave her love and money for those people. She worked in NGO's for kids in need.

And I hope wherever she is now, she is seeing this and blessing us.

Hey Naomi and Mom, Its for you both... I hope you love it.
You wanted to help people and so I am investing this in both of your name. I hope you two are proud of me..

Thank you everyone, thanks to my team who helped me to achieve this..

Good Night everyone, enjoy the evening "

I left the party as I couldn't take it anymore, but that gut feeling again creeping inside me as I felt a familiar stare following my every move..

But I can be delusional sometime.
