His Absence

Cali looked at her new doctor and requested, "If Rui calls you, can you please tell him to call me as well? Tell him I need to talk to him about something important, urgently."

The doctor nodded understandingly. Cali timidly looked at her and added, "Do you know where he is?"

Her new doctor only shook her head and said, "I don't know, but maybe he would return very soon because he cares a lot for you. He actually explained a lot of things about you and asked me to make sure that you're properly taken care of…"

Hours passed by so slowly for Cali. She ate lunch alone and once again she imagined Rui in front of her, telling her to eat more and eat properly.

Cali's tears unconsciously fell again from her eyes while she stared at the empty seat in front of her.

She was missing him badly… and she ended up sobbing alone in front of her food. She hated herself for being so stupid and scolded herself repeatedly.
