I quickly rushed to the hospital.

After hearing at Rafayel was in the hospital, i left work early to see him.

Once i got to the hospital, i spotted Rafayel sitting in the graden.

He leans back against thr bench, staring off into the distance, but i couldn't tell what he was looking at.

I walk to him and wave my hand in front of his eyes.

"I'm just temporarily blind, you know? I'm not deaf and my other sense are working." He said making me relief, "what did the doctor say?" I ask,

"Said it's not to bad. Two days of rest should do it." Rafayel replied, "really? You aren't hiding anything from me, are you?" I ask rasing my brow a bit.

"What do i have to hide? That i'm terminally ill and plan to die alone, and my last wish is to see you one more time?" He ask sacatically, i groaned. "Don't jinx it." I pouted as i cross my arms.

Rafayel stands up to show me a bag swining from his finger. I reach out and take it.

"My doctor wrote down how and when to take these medications on my presecription. Told me to have my family member read it for me." Rafayel explained as he gave me a piece of paper.

I placed the paer inside my pocket. "I'll read it for you once we get back to the stodio." I said as Rafayel holds out his hand. "I can't see. Aren't you going to hold my hand and guide me?" He ask, i smiled and took his hand.

But then i realized something. "Wait a minute. If you can't see how did you find your way to the hospital?" I ask, "i just called a cab and told the driver to drive me herr. After getting out of the cab. I caught hold of a kind passerby, told him i couldn't see, and head him take me to the opthalmology department." He explained,

"....why didn't you call me for help?" I wondered, Rafayel tilts his head slightly, a slightly baffled look on his face. "Mabye.....i just didn't want you to freak out and annoy the doctors with your screaming." He said,

My jaws dropped in shock. "Why you little...."

Rafayel chuckled and throws his arm around my shoulders. "Take me home. I'm tired." He said, "i can tell watch your step, okay?" I said as we walk to the waiting shed to get a cab.

Once we made it to his home. I got out of the cab first and helped Rafayel out of the cab.

I thought Rafayel would need to hold onto me for support, but it turns out he can walk on his own. We were standing in front of his door, and he unlocks the door with his fingerprint.

"How did you suddenly become blind? Has this happened before?" I ask as i placed his bag on the couch. "Pulled one too many late-nighters. It's pretty normal." He replied, "normal? How long did you stay up for?" I ask worriedly.

"Two days." He replied, my eyes widen in shock, ".....and what did you work so hard on?" I ask, "over there." He pointed to a canvas on the other side of the bar table.

I walk over to the table and look at the papers. ".....i know you want to work while the isnpiration is hot, but you really shouldn't ignore sleep."

"Nah, quite the opposite. I haven't found any inspiration for this piece. It's been two days and i've made no real progress. No wonder why i haven't veen able to get the color i want. My eyes weren't working right." He explained as he touched his eyes.

"My eye doctor said it's likely going to happen again, and worst-case scenario i could lose my sight forever." He added, i look at his medical records.

"Are you searching my symptoms online? I heard you flipping through my medical records." He said as he walk over to me. "Well, what does it say?" He ask,
