Chapter 23 - What if we don’t?

After returning back to emergency room, Silvia was busy treating a patients wounds when the guard entered the room and said," Nurse Silvia there is someone looking for you."

Silvia took a deep breath and said," Who is it?"

The guard shook his head and said," I have no idea."

" I'll be there in minute." Silvia said.

Wearing her gloves, Janet said," My girl is getting famous day by day."

Silvia sighed and said," This is the reason why I don't socialise much."

" Go and see who is it. I'll take care of this." Janet said.

Taking off her gloves, Silvia started walking towards the door.

Just then a very annoying person entered the room which made Silvia roll her eyes and sigh at the same time.

" Where are you going?" The woman asked in her very annoying shrill voice.

Giving her a fake smile, Silvia said," I am going outside."

" Where is Janet?" The woman asked.

" What is it Carol?" Janet asked.

Giving her a bitchy expression, Carol said," The VIP patient if room no.75 wants to see you."

" I am busy." Janet said.

" God didn't you hear what I said? He is a VIP patient. See my job was to tell you that he is calling you. Now do whatever you wanna do." Carol said.

Walking past Silvia, Carol smiled and said," Nice clothes Sil."

Glaring her at, Silvia shouted," This is our uniform and even you are wearing the same one."

Waving her hand, Carol said," Ya whatever." before walking out.

After Carol left, Silvia said," She is one bitchy woman that I have ever met."

Janet chuckled and said," You know what the NIS call her. A slutty nurse."

Silvia chuckled and said," Sounds perfect on her."

" Go fast now." Janet said.

" Jan you should go and see him once." Silvia said.

Janet sighed and said," I don't want to."

" Don't invite trouble okay and go and see him." Silvia said before walking outside.

.....

Outside.

Silvia raised his eyebrows when she saw who it was.

Walking towards her, Silvia smiled and said," Aunt Julie."

Giving her a hug, Julie smiled and asked," How are you honey?"

Silvia smiled and said," I am good."

" Can I talk to you for a sometime?" Julie asked.

Though it wasn't very convenient to sit and talk while she was still working, Silvia still reluctantly agreed.

As they were about to step outside, Dr Johnathan happened to enter the hospital at the same time.

" Hey where are you going?" Dr Johnathan asked.

Scratching her forehead, Silvia said," Good evening Dr Johnathan. This is my aunt. Can I talk to her outside for a second?"

Dr Johnathan smiled and nodded his head," After you are done, I want you to accompany me for the rounds."

" Ya sure." Silvia said before walking outside with Julie.

....

Outside.

" Silvia what do you think about Kevin?" Julie asked.

When Silvia did not say anything for quite sometime, Julie laughed and said," I know that you think he is a cold, heartless, rude and a very tough person to deal with."

Silvia shook her head and said," No it isn't like that."

Julie smiled and said," It's fine if you think like that because that is how he portrays himself. He purposely behaves cold and unreachable. He doesn't socialise much and loves to stay alone but my son wasn't like this before. He was very sweet and kind. You know he has the best smile ever."

Silvia smiled and said," I know." Silvia had seen Kevin smile few times and couldn't help but agree with Julie. Kevin indeed had the most sweet and cutest smile which made him look more handsome.

" He changed completely after that girl left him. He stopped smiling. He stopped talking to people. It's like after that girl left him, my son stopped living." Julie said.

Silvia could feel Julie's sadness in her voice.

" It breaks my heart seeing him like this. My once loving and caring son is no where to be seen. He has even stopped talking to us and refuses to stay with us too. It's like he has locked all his emotions up and now he is just living for the sake of living." Julie said before bursting into tears.

Patting her back, Silvia tried to calm her down. She couldn't find words to comfort her.

Wiping her tears away, Julie said," That is why we decided to find someone for him who could help him get out of this."

Silvia froze. She knew where this was going.

Holding Silvia's hand, Julie said," I am not forcing you Silvia or trying to put any kind of pressure on you but I want you to think about Kevin. I know only you can bring my old son back to me and trust me, you will never regret marrying him. If you have a problem with him staying away from home for a long time, then you must know that Kevin will be leaving military next year and will be taking over our family business. After that he will stay with you every time. That woman has hurt my son beyond repair and I know only you can help him break all the walls that he has created. Please Silvia help me in this and I'll forever be grateful to you."

" Please don't say such things Aunt Julie. You are like my mother please don't embarrass me." Silvia said.

" I know I may be sounding very selfish but I don't have any choice. I can't just let my son suffer like that. I know Kevin and you don't feel for each other now but feelings can develop after marriage right? When you two will start staying together and will start spending some time together, things will change." Julie said.

" What if we never feel anything for each other? Look I know Kevin is a really nice guy and I really respect him a lot but I just don't see any future with him. I just don't want this marriage to be a burden on both of us." Silvia said.

" Your parents did not even know each other before they got married. They just met twice before getting married. Weren't they happy and so in love with each other?" Julie asked.

Silvia body stiffened when Julie mentioned her parents.

" Honey I can feel the connection between you and Kevin. Not only me, your parents and your Uncle Herpi too. They all want this to happen." Julie said.

Silvia took a deep breath and said," I'll think about it."

Wiping her tears away, Julie said," I know you are a very wise and kind woman Silvia and that is why I chose you for my son. Only a woman like you can stand strongly by his side in the future when he faces different kind of difficult and tricky situations."

Getting up from from the bench, Julie said," I'll wait for you answer darling. Whatever decision you'll take, I'll respect it."
