When Light opened the door in the room Cenielle was assigned, he heard an unusual laugh that rang to his brains. He shook his head thinking, who would laugh like that considering it was a clinic, all pain and sickness and chaeckups. But the laughter continued echoing in the room.
“Hello? Rana? He queried stepping inside. He moved his vision around the room but no one can be seen. Still more laughter. He moved closer to the bed and then he saw Cenielle on the floor hugging her knees laughing.
Light felt a little nervous looking at Rana. Has she gone Mad? For what reason? He slowly knelt in front of her and patted her on the shoulder.
“Rana, please, you’re scaring me,” Light said looking horrified.
Cenielle stopped laughing and buried her face on her knees and began to sob softly. Light obviously didn’t know what to do.
“I’m feeling…” she hiccupped, “I’m feeling empty Light…”
Light suddenly felt that this has already happened before. Like a déjà vu.
Cenielle gazed at Lights face with that tears on her face he couldn’t help but feel equally distraught.
“Rana, tell me, do you have a problem? …is it about your parents?”
Cenielle slowly bowed her head as if thinking, then she wiped her face. She sniffed a little, looked at Light and began to laugh wildly. Her laugh was very high pitched and it sent shivers down his spine. He frantically grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her forcefully.
“SNAP OUT OF IT! RANA!” he yelled.
Cenielle tried to stop laughing but she can’t control herself. Light felt that his heart was sinking. Just yesterday this girl in front of him was smiling widely at him. Feeling amused at her. Feeling he wanted to know her more though he already knew her before. Feeling he’d go mad as well like her. Feeling that he…
He grabbed Cenielle and hugged her tightly. “oh please don’t go mad!” ‘Why is it that all the important things tend to go away from my grasp?’
After a long while, Cenielle breathed deeply, trying to pat Light on the back.
“Ahg—Light…you’re killing me—“
Light still hugging Cenielle, “Don’t go mad, please…” deaf into his own emotions.
“Light…you’re—KILLING ME!” Light frantically had to move his head away from Cenielle but he was still holding her by the shoulder. He stared at her face for a long time unable to discern what was happening.
“Rana?”
Cenielle just smiled at him staring to chuckle again. And to Light’s realization, he stood up suddenly and swore under his breath.
“WHAT THE HECK!? RANA!” he yelled blushing.
Cenielle stood up and burst out laughing much louder as Light sat on the bed red as cherry. And when Cel entered the room with junk food still wearing white dress for clinic patients, she asked, “Am I missing something?”
And Cenielle told her the story and the two of them burst out laughing again. Their puffed cheeks made Light all the more embarrassed but he didm’t dare leave them alone.
“Stop fooling around Rana! I thought you already went berserk! I didn’t know what to do!”
Cenielle chuckled. “Sorry…kind of bored here in the clinic.”
Cel shoved potato chips in her mouth. “I wish I saw Light’s expression!”
Cenielle also stuffed her mouth with chips. “If you only saw us…you’d think were from a Korean drama!”
Light leaned on the wall and crossed his arms. “Yeah right—laugh to your hearts content…sorry for worrying about you.”
Cenielle winked at him, “At least I knew something!”
Cel’s eyes grew big in suspence. “That Light likes you?”
Light almost lost his balance.
“It never occurred to me. What I learned is that…Light can be a great actor!” she said as tears started to flow from her eyes.
“Hey Cel, you’re crying!” Cel regarded her.
“Sorry…I really can’t stop myself…it was so hilarious!” she said wiping the tears.
And she rolled over the bed laughing. Playing that all was right. Tears flowing from her eyes…joking…but the truth was…her heart was weeping.
