"Et up...." a voice entered in his ears.

"Come on get up already." This time the voice was loud and close.

"Get up..." another nudge on his shoulder.

"Come on I pay you for doing a job not for taking rest." His eyes can sense the bright sun light crashing the room.

"Up now. This is a good way, just faint and pass the work hours on bed and then get whole payment." The voice was close and irritated. He can sense the hot breathe of other on his cheek.

He slowly very slowly opens the eyes but again closed them. He needed to open and close them few times to adjust according to the bright light.

"Thank God. Get up now and go to the kitchen." The man infront of him said totally annoyed.

"HURRY UP MARK." he shouted causing the boy to flinch.

"Damn what do he eat?" Jason thought. He just looked at the man infront of him and tried to grasp his situation. He tilted his head, that's his habit, he does it when he can't understand anything.

"What? Don't tell me you don't remember anything?" The man said looking at the big doe eyes of the boy.

"You fainted again. Why don't you get a proper treatment!!"

"If I would have the enough money, I would've done it right away. I don't need your nudging for that." Jason thought and looked down.

"If it wasn't for your father, I would've kicked you out right away. Get up now. Do the work you are hired for." Jason looked at him and plopped out of the old creaking bed.

"Go to the kitchen and take the order of Sector E, North Housing society. And after that you need to go to the NMH centre." The man said.

"Man, both are the opposite ends of the city. How will I make it on time."

"And when you go remember that you have to come back also. Don't just plan to stay there forever." He said with a creepy smile but Jason just nodded his head.

"That was supposed to be a joke. You really don't pay attention to me, do you?" He said rolling his eyes.

"Get off of my back Thomas. I got other problems right now." Jason's biggest problem is overthinking. He overthinks about almost everything.

This led him to get unconscious. His health is not at all okay and there is nothing he can do about that.

Jason stood up and with slow steps while putting his shoes on made his way to the kitchen.

"Hey you up." The chef said with a gummy smile. He ruffled Younger's hairs. "Thomas went hard on you again. Didn't he?" Jason just nodded.

"It's alright. You should get used to it by now. It's already been 2 years now." Jason again nodded while correcting his shirt.

"Take that medium one to the address. The charges and address are noted to the page on the box." Jason slides to the side counter and saw two pizza boxes on it.

There was no paper on either box so he turned to ask the chef but he saw paper between two boxes and he pulled it out.

He just took one box and went to his bike. He got only 20 min left to deliver it. He kicked start his bike and he went to deliver his first order of the day.

It took him 15 min to reach there and he delivered it on the door and collected the charges. There seem to be a party at that house because music was quite loud and the woman that came out was wearing a quite stylish dress.

"Here. Keep the change." She said while handing him the money and closed the door. It was good that Jason didn't have to get through the embarrassment of explaining through hand signs.

He came back and saw the paper on the other box also but the chef was nowhere to be seen.

"Cooper must have went out. Lucky to have his break time." Jason thought and took the other box to deliver it.

It took him 30 mins to reach there. He looked at the paper and there was 40 min time to deliver it. He breathed out in relief and took off his helmet.

He looked at the big sign board of the hospital with National Mental Health Centre written in bold letters.

He went inside and went straight to the reception.

"Hello Dr. Smith. I'm Daniel Park. I'm the assistant of Dr. Keller. She asked me to show you your room." Edward bowed in respect and followed the man who just came to guide him from the elevator.

"Here Dr. Smith." Daniel showed him the room and Edward turned to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Park. And call me Edward. I'm younger than you, I don't like you talking to me like I'm the older." Daniel laughed.

"Okay then call me Dan. Or Daniel anything you like." Edward smiled and then Dan left the room.

Edward plopped down to the chair and traced his hands over the desk. He breathed in sharply and then exhaled slowly.

"Finally." Edward said as he remembered the hard work, he has done to get this job. He placed a photo frame on the table with a picture of family, his family.

He cleaned the frame and then took out his phone. He didn't get any clients today. It's his first day so the senior doctor Dr. Karen Keller will give him the briefing today at 1 pm. He looked at time and it's still an hour left.

He took out the book he started reading and resume from where he left it last night. He was busy in reading when someone knocked on the door.

"Yes." He asked and saw female entering the room.

"Good morning sir. I'm Sana. I'll be your guide for few days till you get to know the rules and regulations of the hospital." Edward nodded giving her a smile.

"Come Miss. Sana sit down." Edward said and she sat across him. She started telling him the rules and timing of the hospital.

"I'm hungry.... how is the cafe here?" Edward said suddenly, causing Sana to halt his talking.

"Oh, cafe is under some amendments so you will have to order from outside for now, but it'll be working in couple of days. You want me order something for you?" Edward shook his hand in no.

"Oh no no it's okay I was about to order anyway. What would you like to eat?"

"Thank you but I'm okay." Sana said. "Enjoy your lunch. I'll call you when Dr. Keller will be free."

Edward waited for her to leave and when she went did, he happily opened his phone to order food. He was craving pizza so he wasted no time and ordered the best place around.

"Tom's Kitchen.... hmm they got quite the ratings so let's order this today." Edward said and ordered his favourite medium Cheese pizza.

He placed an order and got back to his book. He got the message that pizza will get deliver in 40 minutes.

After waiting for 40 minutes, he finally got a call from the reception that his order has arrived.

"Alright. Send him in."

"Sorry Doctor but you would have to come and collect." The receptionist said. Edward huffed as he got no energy to walk to the first floor again.

"I'll pay him extra please just let him deliver it to the department atleast."

"Okay sir." Edward signed and got up with his wallet and walked to the department reception.

As he went there, he saw a young boy in red employee jacket and a pee cap and head down and walking with quick steps.

"Here I've ordered it." He asked as he saw the boy stopping by the counter and looking around.

The boy was cute. Small nose, bread cheeks and hooded eye. A true beauty indeed. Edward held the box and paid for it. But before the other can he go he held his hand to stop him.

Jason looked at him in shock and Edward let go of his hand.

"Oh I'm sorry.... can you please deliver it to my room next time? Take the extra charges but deliver it to my room." Edward expected a yes or a no but there came the silent staring.

"Hello.... I'm talking to you." The other nodded and turned to leave while leaving the change on the counter. Edward just opened the box and he shouted to the one who just delivered him the pizza.

"Hey you stop." He said and all the nurses in the hall looked at him. "Sorry." He said and walked to the delivery boy.

"This is not my order. I asked for extra cheese not Fajita." Edward said. Jason just looked at him and then at the box and then again, the cycle repeats.

"What? Stopping looking at me like this. Where is my order."

"Damn it I've delivered what was given to me I'm not the one who knows what was your order." Jason said and looked at Edward again.

"I'm asking you something. Where is my pizza." Edward said voice slightly raising.

"Ahh not again. Cooper...."

"Speak up boy where is my pizza" Edward said now his hand grabbing the collar of other.

"Dr. Smith let me handle this." Sana said from behind and Edward let go of the boy who still didn't say a word.

"Go to your room I'll bring your food in a bit." She said and Edward just dropped the box on the ground and turned not before giving Jason a glare. "I'm going to report you. What type of worker they have?"

"I'm sorry on his behalf. Here take the money and leave." Sana said after paying for the pizza.

Jason was quick to leave the building and run back to his bike. He kicked started it and left after glancing the hospital one last time.

What he didn't knew was an eye on him from inside the building.

Edward saw the Delivery boy leaving in hurry. He saw him starting a bike with shaky hand.

"Did I just frighten him? Was he really crying?"
