CHIT CHATS

The hospital room hummed with the gentle rhythm of medical machinery as Gia sat by Deep's bedside, a comforting presence in the room. She spent countless hours by his side, offering unwavering emotional support and encouragement during his recovery.

Deep, still recuperating from the aftermath of his coma, found solace in Gia's company. Her unwavering dedication and comforting presence provided a sense of reassurance in the challenging times he faced.

"Gia, do you ever get tired of sitting here and watching me sleep?" Deep teased, attempting to infuse some lightness into the air.

Gia chuckled, caressing his hand. "Me? Are you tired of doing this? This is nothing."

"Even if I lay on this bed for years? Will you still be here? Will you still abandon everything, music and all, and be here?" Deep asked, his gaze stern on Gia.

"Forever. Away, Deep. But you know that will never happen because I know you are getting out of this bed soon. I know you are tired. But it is only for a while." She assured him.

"Mmh. Thank you. I appreciate. But honestly, you don't have to see me to sleep." Deep rolled his eyes.

Gia discharged a chuckled softly, shaking her head. "Well, you do have a point. You could work on your sleeping schedule, you know."

They shared a brief moment of laughter, a welcomed respite amidst the seriousness of the hospital setting. "I'm serious, though. How do you manage to spend so much time here?" Deep-asked, genuine curiosity in his voice.

Gia flashed him a warm smile. "Because, dear patient, you need all the company and cheering you can get. Besides, I've got a front-row seat to witness your epic recovery."

Deep couldn't help but smile at her playful demeanor. "I appreciate it, Gia. You're like my personal guardian angel in this hospital."

Gia feigned offense, placing a hand over her heart dramatically. "A guardian angel? I like the sound of that. Does it come with a cool uniform?"

Their banter filled the room with a sense of ease, offering a temporary escape from the challenges of recovery.

As they continued to exchange lighthearted remarks, the bond between Deep and Gia grew stronger. Their shared moments of laughter and camaraderie provided a much-needed distraction, fostering an environment of positivity amidst the hospital's clinical atmosphere.

In the midst of their humorous exchanges, Gia remained a pillar of strength for Deep, her unwavering support a beacon of hope in his journey toward recovery.

In the quiet moments of their conversation, Deep's curiosity was piqued as he turned to Gia with a thoughtful expression. "Gia, what about your music? Your career?"

Gia's gaze softened as she regarded Deep. "It's been on hold, Deep," she admitted, a hint of melancholy in her voice. "When you disappeared, everything... everything had to be set aside."

Deep's brow furrowed in concern. "I'm sorry, Gia. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. You shouldn't have had to put your dreams on hold because of me."

Gia offered him a reassuring smile. "It's not your fault, Deep. Life takes unexpected turns, and I've learned to prioritize what's truly important."

"Still, your music is important to you," Deep remarked, noticing the hint of longing in her eyes.

Gia nodded, a mixture of emotions crossing her face. "Yes, it is. Music has always been my passion, and I miss performing, composing, and creating."

"I'm sure you're incredible," Deep encouraged, his tone sincere. "You should get back to it, Gia. Pursue your dreams. I'll be here to support you."

A sense of warmth washed over Gia at Deep's words of encouragement. "Thank you, Deep. You've always been my pillar of strength."

As she continued, a spark of determination flickered in her eyes. "I will get back to it. My music. When everything settles down."

Deep smile, filled with admiration for Gia's resilience. "I can't wait to hear your music again."

Their conversation segued into reminiscing about melodies and lyrics, sharing moments of their favorite songs and artists. Even in the hospital setting, the prospect of Gia returning to her passion brought a glimmer of hope and excitement to both their hearts.

Gia returned to Deep's hospital room, a tray of refreshments in hand from her visit to the cafeteria. As she stepped inside, she noticed Deep engaged in a conversation over the phone, an air of concern etched on his face.

"Yes, I understand. Please keep me updated." Deep spoke into the phone, his tone serious yet slightly strained.

Concern etched across her features, Gia approached Deep, setting the tray aside before addressing him. "Deep, what's going on? Why are you on a work call?"

Deep quickly ended the call, a flicker of guilt crossing his expression as he noticed Gia's disapproving gaze. "I was just checking on some things at the company, making sure everything's alright."

Gia's tone was laced with concern. "You should be focusing on your recovery, not worrying about work at a time like this. Your health comes first, Deep."

"I know, Gia, but..." Deep began, attempting to justify his actions.

"No 'buts', Deep," Gia interrupted firmly, her worry evident in her voice. "You need to rest and let your body heal. The company can wait. Your well-being is more important."

Deep nodded, acknowledging Gia's point. "You're right, Gia. I just couldn't help it."

Gia softened her expression, understanding his concern. "I know you're dedicated, but your health is a priority. Let others handle things for now. Your only job right now is to get better."

Deep sighed, realizing the validity of her words. "Okay, Gia. I'll try to focus on resting."

With a reassuring smile, Gia took a seat beside him, offering her support. "That's better. Now, let's not worry about work and focus on getting you back to your old self."

Deep nodded gratefully, appreciating Gia's care and understanding. Together, they redirected their attention to the tray of refreshments, aiming to bring a moment of relaxation amidst the tumult of the hospital setting.
