Black Chalk Line

Chapter 6 (First Meeting)

Previously in another room. A girl walks out in a wheelchair which she pushes herself using both of her hands towards the hospital grounds. She was Cana, the girl who lived in the hospital, always pondering in front of the fountain. No one but his wheelchair was always with him. Shortly afterwards he stares into the fountain where Edam is. Edam also turned to him as a result they were staring. “[The girl... lame]” Edam saw Cana's leg and then approached making Cana surprised.

“[A-what...Why did the handsome man approach]” Cana panicked herself in her heart. By chance, next to the chair, there is a seat. Edam approached and sat down beside him. “Huf...It's really exhausting.”He took off his elbow stick, then glanced at Cana who was staring at him.

“Oh- hello..” Edam smiled sincerely at her. Cana's heart melted and her face became red. “Ha-hello..”.

“You've been here a long time?” Ask edam.

“I...Always here.” Cana replied making Edam somewhat confused-faced.

“-I mean, I-I live here because my mother also works here”

“Ouh, I see, that means you can't get out?”

“. . . I-I've never been out.” Cana.

“[Be-never out...What's her life like?!]” Edam became shocked in his heart.

“Em..Anu-I'm not used to chatting with other people, so I'm going perg-...

“Wait..” Edam interrupted and held Cana's hand making Cana wrong behavior touched by him. “I-this is the first time I touched a man.” Cana blushed while bowing her face.

“Oh-sorry.” Edam took off his hand. “Actually I'm tired of being inside and you're the only one who looks normal here”

“[Huh..Anything he said earlier]”

“So...I want to fester with you, I'm sure you feel lonely too.” Said Edam. But suddenly cana was crying. “Hiks...Hiks.” He was crying in the middle of Edam's words. Edam who saw that was of course surprised.

“Ah-sorry, why am I crying, did I hurt you?” He panicked himself.

“Ti-no, I just want...Th-thank you hiks..” Cana said, but it even made edam less understanding and silent.

“You're the first to say I'm normal, I'm very happy, thank you.” Cana added.

Then Edam gave a small smile giving his handkerchief. “[Of course, she's a crippled girl. Certainly not be considered normal]”

Edam stared at Cana's feet. Then he went back and thought. “[Why don't you just operate?, ah I forgot to ask him something]...What's your name Girl?” Edam looked and then cana was silent.

“I'm Edam, nice to meet you.” Added Edam.

“Em...I'm- Cana”

“Cana...That's a pretty name. So, do you have any friends?” Edam.

“. . . No, I don't have any friends at all, my brother only works while here and his work is very busy. This hospital also does not receive so many patients.”

“. . . Then, I'll be a friend to you.” Edam brought his face closer to Cana's face making Cana surprised. Edam also held Cana's two hands making her even more flushed.

Shortly after, a large man dressed in guard came closer. “Master..”

Edam looked up and instantly changed his expression into a dull expression. “Alright, Cana ..I go back to where I used to be” She stands.

“Ah-good.” Cana replied with a misdeed that made Edam smile and walked away with the man who was following him from behind.

“[Who exactly is he]” Cana stared from afar she herself had no idea who Edam was.

--

“Your condition will not allow for the next task.” Said the man standing in front of Edam sitting beside the bed.

“I already know that, indeed if delayed I will go where later?”

“. . . The Great Lord said that you will be sent abroad directly without doing what he asked for you here...He also only gives you one week to recover by yourself.” Added the man. Lalau edam was coldly silent. “Where will he send me?”

“. . . New york for 5 months.” The man replied. Edam was surprised.

The next day they met again. This time Cana brought a book and read it in front of the fountain. Then Edam seemed to come. “Halo again Nadia”

“Huf...It's tiring”

“. . .You should just rest.” Cana.

“Yeah...But I want to be here because inside is boring. What book are you reading?”

“Ah, I read this hibernation novel.” Cana showed me the book he brought. Then Edam smiled slightly after seeing her. “It's mine.”

“Eh-apa.” Cana's confused.

“See, the author's name is already listed here.” Edam showed me his name in the book.

“Eh-to-why can I not know.” Cana was surprised.

“Yeah...I just made one book and I never thought everyone would like it. Including Cana who is now reading it”

“Em...yeah-did you write another book?”

“No, I told you I only wrote one book...That's when I write when I don't have a job. My job is not to write a novel.....By the way what are your thoughts...cana?" Said Edam.

"abs... It's a strange mind I don't want to talk about."

"owh come on it's okay"

"Law..... I want to be a teacher"

"Seriously? That's great Cana" Edam's happy.

"Ehehe Thank you"

“H...Wait for...When you first came here you were lonely too?” Edam.

“. . . Um...I'm always alone maybe I'm used to things like this”

“[Why he calmly covers up all his grief]...Hey Cana - how old are you?” Ask Edam. Then Nadia paused for a moment and said her age. “Umurku..16 years”.

“[The age is even younger 5 years than me]” Edam was surprised to hear it. “Oh-by the way, what do you want if you want to come out later Cana?.”

“Eh-my wishes...Em may not be something interesting.”

“Come on, just let me know.” Edam.

“Em-I just want to see the beach.” Cana said to make Edam stiffened.

“Mother said she'd been there once and had a very good look. I also want to see it but, maybe later, it's just a wish.” Cana added. Then Edam was pitying.

Suddenly a woman approached. “Cana...It's stock for you.” He gave Cana a lunch box.

“Thank you mom" Cana received it.

“Ya-and who is this.” The woman looked at Edam.

“Greet me friend Cana” Edam smile hello. The woman was shocked to see Edam's face. “Se-it looks like I know you...Huh...I meanyou...You are the son of the great master. Forgive my disrespect.” He's bowing down. While Cana was surprised to find out.

“Ah-nothing, I also don't mean to tell.” Said Edam.

“Alright, I'll go first...Excuse” Mother Cana walks away.

“Huf..That's almost, I'll be ganged up later.” Edam said, then he turned to Cana who just silently lowered his face.

“can-“

“Why didn't you tell me?.” Cana interrupted while looking at her.
