"Yes, a covenant is a covenant." I nodded in understanding, but I came to know many things and managed to trap him this time with his own talk.
"Maybe Andrew is sorry. Maybe after things get better he'll look for you." I laughed at those words.
"Maybe he's lost his chance."
After months, there was something else that reminded me of Andrew, but I hadn't thought about it in a long time.
Apparently he's still thinking about me.
"I have to sleep. Maybe tomorrow there will be more patients. Thank you for accompanying me to eat sir. Good night."
"Night."

The incident I met with Commander Gillian in the soup kitchen was over a few days ago. But today suddenly Rosie met me at the Red Zone Emergency when my shift was almost over.
"Doctor Rosie?" I looked at him standing in front of me.
"Can I talk to you?"
"Talk to me? About what?"
"Not here." It must be Gilbert.
"I still have to finish Doctor Rosie's job. You know we're at the peak of the busyness now."
"I'll wait, what time you're done." I let out a breath. I should have thrown this matter to the commander.
"Hour 8.30 okay." No more victims seem to be coming. We have not received confirmation of arrival.
"Good 8.30. I'll be here again."
"okay." I took a breath watching him leave. Like I was heartbroken. Poor him.
"Hmm.no I don't know him. It's just because he's curious to see me talking to his girlfriend."
"Who's the boyfriend?"
"Gilbert."
He was silent, perhaps needing to think who was named Gilbert other than Gilbert Gillian.
"You mean Commander Gillian?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"You and Gillian?" I glanced at James, shouldn't he care less. Or now he's distracted. "You're involved with him."
"Why is that..."
"You sure?"
What exactly does he want to say. Maybe like this. 'I don't agree, you don't know he's a playboy like Andrew. Blah..blah ..blah...'. I told you he's not my brother. Ignored him. And go check on the patient. He would ask again and make sure I was lectured at length. Maybe I'll work with Gillian to make a play. Unfortunately Gillian was not a person who could be taken advantage of like that.
"I went to check on the patient." He just looked at my back I guess.
At 8:30, I met Rosie. Hungry haven't eaten yet, I'll finish this as soon as I can. Before he spoke I spoke first in that dimly lit passageway.
"Okay, let me talk to Doctor Rosie. I don't have anything to do with Commander Gillian. Just met him 2x, and it was a coincidence. And not interested in having a relationship with him. About your relationship I don't want to interfere. He just told me you guys had a deal. And from what I've caught it seems that the covenant remains the covenant. Solve your own problems. I don't want to get involved in anything. I'm hungry, sleepy, exhausted, my shift starts again at 7 tomorrow morning. I'm done and I don't want to get involved. Good night Doc."
I turned around and gave him no chance to talk. But he didn't seem to be chasing me.
Straight to the common kitchen that few people live in. Take my food and sit quietly.
For five minutes I was sitting quietly with someone sitting in front of me. Jesus, Commander Gillian. What else does he want? I just got bullied by his mistress now he's alone
