MARK IS SICK...!!!

Eddie had a hectic day at work. He was tired and rang the door bell few times. ' May be he isn't home yet, ' thought Eddie and opened the door. Entering the room he noticed that ' Locked room ' is open and it is Locked from inside. He went near the room and shouted Mark's Name.

" Eddie...I'm..hmmm... I'm taking a nap." Said Mark.

Hearing Mark, Eddie went to his room. That room wasn't open untill the next day and Eddie went for duty. Mark had second shift duty, he felt dizziness but he ignored it went for duty right after Eddie left.

Mark felt his stomach is bursting out due to pain. He wiped the sweat and started checking files.Mrs.Elsa threw a file at Mark and shouted " Mark, look at this file. This isn't complete. Looking after patient isn't enough Mark, you have other works to do."

Mark took the file and checked it. " Mrs.Elsa, this patient's surgery has got postponed. The consent paper isn't signed yet, that's why the paper is still there." Explained Mark.

" You think I don't know that? I know his surgery is postponed but I'm asking why this unsigned consent is still in the file?" Mrs. Elsa glared at Mark.

Ms. Claire grabbed the file from Mark and checked each page. She chuckled and said

" Mrs. Elsa, you better do your work properly. This wasn't Eddie's patient untill today morning and he was under Mrs. Leena's care. If you found any mistake, call Leena and ask her why she gave an incomplete file to Mark." She gave the file back to Elsa. She stood there speechless and went away saying she will discipline Claire soon.

Mark looked at Claire " why do you always fight with her?"

" I don't like her attitude. It's irritating." Replied Claire. She noticed something odd with Mark.

" Mark...You Okey? You are sweating!! Does the AC Working? Let me call the Maintenance people..." She took the phone and tried to call them. Mark grabbed the phone from her and put the receiver down.

" It's okey Claire. AC is Working. It's that my tummy is hurting." Said Mark suppressing his pain. Claire looked at him and took tissue paper to wipe his sweat.

"Oh My God!!! You are burning!!!! Haven't you noticed. Sit here let me call someone and take you to the casualty." She turned the Fan towards Mark's side and called an attender and asked him to bring a wheel chair.

" It's okey Claire. I can manage. Just help me with the patient side work , I will sit here and do the file work." Said Mark, Squeezing his stomach and faked a smile at Claire.

She wasn't listening to Mark, she took the phone and dialled Elsa. " Mrs. Elsa, Mark is sick. I'm taking him to the casualty."

" Sent him with attenders. Who will look after patient's if you go with him?" answered Elsa.

" Well Mrs. Elsa, if you are worried about patients this much you can come and watch them while I'm gone. Don't worry other staffs will also help you." She hung up the call.

She turned towards Mark and saw him lying down on the table. " Mark..Are you okey?" Asked Claire. " MARK....MARK!!!!!" she panicked and shouted his name.

Mark laid unconscious on the table and his phone was ringing non-stop. Meanwhile the attenders bought wheelchair and they take him to the emergency.

" Hello Mark? why aren't you replied to my text yet?" Asked Alex as soon as the phone is answered.

" Mark is sick. We are taking him to the Emergency." Answered Claire.

" Wait..what? what happened to Mark? Who are you?" Alex voice trembled.

" I'm Claire. Mark's Colleagues. He was burning and said his tummy hurts, next moment I saw him unconscious."

Said Claire.

" Is he unconscious?" Asked Alex

" He is.. Can you come here. I don't know any of his friends." Said Claire

" Shift him to the Emergency." And the line was cut.

' What a rude Man? ' thought Claire and took him to the Emergency. The Doctor examined Mark and gave him injections for reducing his fever and pain. He adviced the staff to admit him for further examination and treatment. Claire went to the front desk to arrange a room for Mark in their own ward.

When she returned, she saw a group of Doctors standing in front of Mark's bedside. She terrified and ran to Mark's bedside. She grabbed the shoulder of a staff " What happened to Him?" she asked.

" I don't know. The Director and Dr. Stephan came running and asked where is Mark? I showed them his bed and they are checking his file now..." Said the staff.

" But why they are looking for Mark?" Claire asked herself. The staff shook her head and said nothing.

" Nurse, shift him to the VVIP ward and prepare him for surgery immediately." Said Dr. Stephan ( Head Of Emergency Medicine).

" Yes Doctor Stephan." Answered the staff.

"Hmmm....You are Ms. Claire Right?" He turned towards Claire and asked.

"Yes..I am..." Claire answered him with eyes bulging out. ' I'm just a staff and how did he know my name?? ' She wondered.

" Thank you for helping Mark. Please stay by his side until his guardian comes. And call me when Mr. Alex come." Said Dr. Stephan and walked away.

She then understood how He knew her name. But why Mark got admitted in the VVIP ward remained a mystery to her.

" Ms.Claire you are so lucky. I haven't seen in my service time Dr. Stephan thanking someone. And that too for a staff to another staff??? Oh My God ! The world must be ending soon." Said a staff Patting on Claire's shoulders.

She was lost in thoughts when the staff called her. She smiled at her. " I'm always lucky Ms Helen. Now... Can you show me Mark's file?" She asked.

" Oh... That is not a problem. Come to the counter I will show you. His blood reports are pending though." Said Helen and walked before her. Claire took the file and gone through it. She thanked the staff and came back to Mark's bed.

She sighed in relief and ran her fingers through Mark's face. ' Poor boy....' she sat his bedside and wondered WHO MARK REALLY IS !!!!!
