Before I could See who it was from omar returned. I kept his phone back.
"Here's your drink " he said as he tossed a can of coke.
"So How was you day ?" I asked sipping my can of coke.
"Not bad. A little tiring, plus I have a mild headache. " he replied massaging his temples.
I got up from my seat and went behind omar.
"Lean your head in the couch "
"Why ?" He questioned
"Just do it"
He did as What I said.
"Close your eyes." I said as he did What I said.
I massaged his head. His body relaxed from my touch. He sighed, not like those annoyed kind of sigh. But the ones when we do when we are relieved.
"You have magical fingers" he comment. I just hummed in response.

Ava was massaging my head, and I should agree,it feels hella great.
I was about to doze off when she stopped which caused me to open my eyes. She walked back to her seat.
"How was it? " she questioned smiling
"Great! " I replied returning the smile.
"Are you working tomorrow? " I asked Ava
"Nope. But I have volunteer work to do tomorrow "
"You do volunteer work? " I asked raising my eyebrows. Does this bitch even respect people while doing her volunteer work I questioned myself.
" Yeah I volunteer at a cancer resource center " she replied fiddling with here fingers.
"Can I tag along. I never visited cancer patients. " I replied
" Yeah, of Cause you can" she replied.
Next day....
I parked my car outside the center. Ava and I walked in.
Many people recognized her. They greeted her and smiled at her.
"Hey ava! Who is that? " the receptionist asked
"Hey Claire. Erm this is my boyfriend. Omar." She introduced
" Hey " I replied waving at the Claire lady.
" your "LOVE " was missing you So much. He kept asking When are you gonna vist him " Claire said.
"Awww. My Love! I missed him So much. I will visit him first then." Ava replied and waved to the Claire lady.
We walked down the paths of room.
"So who is the Love you were talking about " I asked
"Wait and See." She replied and stopped in front of room 15 she knockers on the door before entering the room.
" you are back! YOU ARE BACK MY LOVE " Someone said happily as I entered.
The person was hugging Ava So tightly that I couldn't even See his face.
They pulled away. And I got to see the person. He was not as What I thought. I think he is in his mid 40s
He looked really dull and pale. He was losing his hair and I am sure it's from all the chemotherapy they did on him. I was a little heartbroken But I managed to smile.
"Who is this Love? "He asked ava
"Erm he is my boyfriend. Omar " she replied introducing me.
"Hello young man " he replied smiling at me.
"You are lucky to have a such a sweet and kind girlfriend. " he added on
I just smiled in response.
"But ava you cheated on me. " he said jokingly.
"I didn't. You will always be my first love " she replied hugging him.
She is totally a different Ava from What I have known for the past 1 month. She is very bubbly and kind with the patients. She was talking with her love. Wait What is his name ahh Chris.
The nurse entered the room with some medicine.
"Chris time to eat your meds! " she chipped walking through. Chris groaned in response.
"Give it to me I will feed his medicine." Ava said as she took the medicine from the nurse.
She sweet talked while she feed him his medicine.
"I wish you would feed my medicine everyday. You are not as bossy as the nurse " Chris complained.
"I wish I could. But you should also understand that they have other patients to attend to you " she replied as she tugged him in his bed.
"I will leave now. So have your nap. " she said before signaling it was time to leave.
We left his room as we heard a loud wailing from the opposite room.
Ava rushed to the room and picked up the toddler who was crying
"Why is her parents not here? " I asked her.
" I think they went back home or somewhere " she replied as she tried to calm the toddler.
"So is she diagnosed with cancer? " I asked hesitantly referring to the toddler
"Yeah. She was born with lukemia ." She replied as she patted the toddlers back.
"Sometimes life can be really unfair. And the worst part in life is when you have to witness Someone you love suffer. But you can't do anything to ease their pain" she replied as she sobbed silently.
She placed the child back on the cradle. And wiped her tears.
"Sorry I didn't mean to cry breakdown in front of you " she replied as she tried to stable her breathing.
I just rubbed her back to calm her down.
I am sure that she has lost Someone because of cancer. I was curious to know. But this is not the right time to ask her. Maybe when we are back home I will ask her.
Ava pov
Omar requested me to stay in his house for the day. Which I accepted.
We were on the bed cuddling.
" ava can I ask you something? " omar asked.
"Sure" I replied as I sat leaning on the bedframe and omar did the same.
"Most volunteers at the center have joined the center because they lost their loved Once in the past " he said slowly and I know Where this is going.
"What is your reason for joining the center? " he asked hesitantly.
I started crying uncontrollably as I got reminded by the past.
Something that I tried to bury deep down me but I couldn't.
