One raining afternoon, I went to university to wait for my friend to turn up to see me. I can't explain the expectation that fills my heart, it is like a full cup of delicious coffee. I can't keep my eyes on the screen when he walks up to me. We start talking. It is like magic. I stop pretending to do any work and stand up with him so we can walk together and enjoy this chilly afternoon together.
He is sick. He has too much pressure these two months, doing homework, solving problems, having tests and exams. Everything seems to pile on him and driving him up the wall. That's why he is sick. His body is telling him to stop, but he can't. He has to face the challenge and stand up to it.
I am glad that I came to see him. We walk together to the clinic. Not wanting to read any magazines because they don't appeal to me anymore, I enter the doctor's office with him. Get a steam bath, the soothing doctor says.
