My mom rang the bell, and we both waited patiently for the door to open.
Finally the door opened, and a small boy of around my age was standing in front of us. He was a bit shorter than me. He opened the door with a smile.
"Good Evening. How may I help you?" he asked us like a real gentleman.
Before my mom could even answer him, a young lady in her mid thirties came towards the front door with her apron on.
"Hello there, How may I help you?" She asked with a pleasant smile looking at my mom and then at me.
"Hello, my name is Esther Jacob ." My mom replied back with a smile. "Well actually, we shifted here today and my daughter Elizabeth cut her hand with a glass piece and it's bleeding, I actually forgot to pack the medicine bag and I don't have any bandage or cotton. So I thought I could borrow some aspirin and cotton from you."
"Sure sure, please come in?" The lady said taking us inside and closing the door behind us.
"Show me the cut love." She said while coming towards me and holding my palm.
"This is quite a deep one and it has started to swell. We better take you to the doctor." Saying this she looked at my mom.
My mom looked at her with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, my friend too had the same cut but it was worse than this. It'll be alright."She assured my mom.
"Let me drive you there." She told my mom.
"Thank you so much, I hope we are not troubling you?" My mom asked her.
"No no, you need help and I'm there to help." She replied back with a smile.
We got in her car, my mom in the front and me at the back with the boy.
My mom and the lady started talking she introduced herself as ,Maura. They kept on talking about various things which included how we shifted to Ireland, while I looked out of the window the whole time.
Until, suddenly I felt a finger poking me on my shoulder, I turned towards the boy sitting next to me to find him smiling and waving at me.I smiled at him.
"Hey, I'm Niall."What is your name?" He asked me and held out his hand for a handshake.
"Hello, I'm Elizabeth." I said extending my left hand for a shake hand as I cut my right hand.
The rest of the journey he asked me about my old friends, school, house and what I liked to do.
We reached the hospital, we got down and waited for Maura to park the car.
Then we went to the reception and went to the emergency room for kids. The doctor in there asked my mom what happened while he examined my cut.
"Hmm..."He said with a deep breath." Stitches wouldn't be required as it's not a big cut, but we will have to clean up the cut cause there may be very minute glass slips inside which may caused the swelling."
"Umm...ok ." My mom said trying not to act stressed.
While my mom and Maura stood opposite me and the doctor, Niall came to sit beside me on the bed.
The doctor started to get the injection ready and I could imagine the pain.
I hate injections.
"Come close dear." The old doctor said as he held my arm before bringing the injection towards me.
I let out a whine as the sharp needle pierced my skin.Tears began to gather in my eyes as I closed it trying to bear the pain.
Suddenly I could feel a hand hold mine. It was warm and soft. I looked to see who. It was Niall. He rubbed my back trying to calm me down.
"There there it's done." The doctor said as he removed the injection and put a ball of cotton.
I looked up from my arm to search for my mom. Maura saw my confused look and told me the nurse had called her.
The doctor was dressing my wound. Niall was still holding my hand. When my mom came in.
My mom paid at the reception and we all got into the car and drove back home.
I don't know what the doctor gave me but that sure did make me fill sleepy.
I was off to bed as soon as we hit the road.
