The Reason: Ch 2

Ch 2

It was one very hectic and busy morning in the ER. Many people were rushed in continuously; they never even had time for a little break. As for Ron who has worked for 34 hours straight with less than an hour of sleep, he was still very energized.

~At the cafeteria~

Raymond: Ron, aren’t you tired? You’ve worked for almost 35 hours straight.

Ron: I feel fine. Just a bit tired. I remember when we first started I went 50 hours straight with like 8 hours of sleep The good old days.

Raymond: So who was that new doctor you were with earlier and where is she?

Ron: Are you interested?

Raymond: No dude, I’m taken. If my girlfriend heard that she would be pulling on my ear right now.

Ron: Well, she’s a new interim. Nice girl and full of that passion.

Raymond: It sounds more like you’re into her.

Ron: Maybe…

Linda walked over to Ron.

Linda: Doctor Ng may I take this seat?

Ron: Linda, just call me Ron. After you finish eating I’ll take you on a tour of the hospital.

Linda: ok.

Ron: Oh ya, I forgot to introduce you to one of the doctors here. This is Raymond Lam he specializes in cardiology.

Linda: Hi.

Raymond: Why did you pick to go into the ER?

Linda: I actually love the thrill of it. And besides you get to meet so many people out there.

Raymond: She’s just like you Ron.

Ron: Are you done?

Raymond: Let the girl eat man.

Linda: That’s okay. I know the ER is really busy so we better get going.

Raymond: Exactly like you.

Ron: See ya man.

Ron and Linda left and started touring the hospital. Ron introduced her to many of her future colleagues. The two of them seem to be getting along quite well. After their tour, they went back down to the ER where the action was. They stayed there until five.

Ron: 40 hours

Linda: what?

Ron: I worked for 40 hours.

Linda: Wow, you still look like you could go for another day.

Ron started laughing: I could if I get some good sleep. So anyways, you’ll be following my work schedule. That would mean you would get a day off tomorrow.

Linda: What do YOU do on your day offs?

Ron: Depends. Why? Are you interested in joining me?

Linda slightly blushed: I just wanted to know.

Ron smiled: I’ll probably be heading to one of those public health centers helping out.

Linda: Can I come?

Ron: If you like. I could pick you up if that’s okay with you?

Linda: Thanks.

As Ron was driving home from the hospital he caught sight of Linda catching a bus. He honked the horn, which gave her quite a shock.

Ron: Hey, how bout I give you a lift?

Linda: You don’t have to. I think the bus is coming.

Ron shaking his head: The bus never comes at this time. Just get on. I’ll drive you home.

Linda looking around to see if a bus was coming: Ok, thanks.

Linda got into Ron’s car and Ron drove off, he knew where she lived because he actually went through her profile thoroughly to see if she would be able to handle the work.

Ron stopped the car right in front of Linda’s apartment.

Linda: Thank you.

Ron: I’ll see you tomorrow at 10:30. Ok?

Linda: umm… sure. Thanks.

Ron: No problem.

As Linda walked in she turned around and said: Thank you.

Ron: Is that all you know how to say?

Linda smiled and walked in.

Ron drove home. All he wanted to do right about now was lie on his bed and sleep.

Once he got home he jumped right into bed. He didn’t care about anything right about now. He needed his sleep and that was that. The phone started ringing but he ignored it and continued sleeping. A couple of hours later he woke up and noticed someone had left a message.

Answering machine: You have…ONE…message.

Ron began listening to the message.

Leila: Hey Ron, I know you’re tired and everything and probably you’re sleeping. Sorry for bothering you. I just wanted to make sure that we were going to the Public Health Center tomorrow? Call me back when you’re awake. Bye.

When the message was over he quickly called Leila and confirmed their visit.

Ron: Hey Leila, Raymond is coming too right?

Leila: Ya and Tavia.

Ron: Is he going to drive you there?

Leila: I don’t know. But I was hoping you could drive me because you know how Raymond is. I could never trust him.

Ron laughed: All right, I’ll see you at 11 then.

Leila: Usually you pick me up at 10:30.

Ron: Well, I promised to pick Linda up as well.

Leila: Oh.

Ron: Hey, don’t start thinking about stuff. She’s just a new interim at the hospital and she was interested in volunteering.

Leila: Ya right.

Ron: Well I need to go back to sleep. I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye.
