Shortly after Shawn dropped Maya off at the company, he drove back home to rest his head that was banging inside of him. His body was so hot that the heat could boil a cup of water.He hated hospitals so he drove to a pharmacy down the road to get drugs for himself. Thankfully, he was attended to first despite the queue that thronged the drug shop.He could feel his body burning and his eyes producing blazing fire from the burns.While he managed to drive, he gasped out for air most of the time but still struggled to drive home.Getting home, he tried opening the car but he was too weak. His hands and whole body were shaking like he had an essential tremor. For two weeks now, he has not eaten more than once and that was the day he took Maya out in the evening after they left the office.It was the same day he asked her to be his girlfriend. He was lonely and miserable and needed the company of a woman badly so he decided to make Maya his girlfriend.Thankfully, Maya agreed to b
After Maya closed from work, she got a call from Shawn telling her to come to the hospital. For Maya, it was such a long and stressful day at the office, and now she just needed a hot bath and a massage altogether.From the office, she hailed a cab and hurried to the hospital. Getting to the hospital, she went to the reception and was given directions about Shawn’s ward.Shawn was lying on the bed with his eyes wide open, glaring at the ceiling when Maya walked.“ Sweetheart, what happened? She said, surprised at Shawn's condition as she walked in. It was worse than how she left him in the morning. Maya was looking weak and stressed when she walked in and Shawn suddenly felt sorry for her.“ Hey,” he said in a whisper and tore his hands apart to hug Maya. They hug before Maya begins to express how unhappy she is because Shawn refused to yield to her advice earlier. “I'm so sorry for stressing you after a long day at work and now, you are in the hospital because of me. How selfis
Once Maya got to Shawn’s place at 7 pm she tried opening the door with the keys in her hand but she was shocked that the door was locked from inside. “ Who the hell is inside?” She was puzzled. She knocked ferociously at the door and a malicious female voice thrilled from inside the house. “ Hold on a while. I'm coming”“ What is that voice I just heard?” Maya's tantrum grew. Soon, she heard the cracking of the door from inside and couldn't wait to see who it was.She wondered if the lady was so close to Shawn that he could give her a spare key to his apartment. In patience, Maya tried not to blow up till she saw what the woman inside looked like and who was to Shawn. Momentarily, the door flung open and Maya’s mouth widened at the woman who was standing by the door.The lady had a soft but mysterious beauty that Maya almost thought about a fresh blooming rose flower.Her hair was black, curly, and full that the strands fell across her shoulders downward and her bright eyes spa
Joana was about to go to Virginia Hills but suddenly changed her mind on the while on the road.“ Please mister, can you take me to Gary's hospital? Sorry for the disturbance” She said softly to the cab driver and he responded by nodding his head. The hospital was not far from Shawn’s domicile so she just slipped $200 in the driver's hand. While in the cab, Shawn kept calling Joana's phone but she bluntly refused his call till she got to the hospital. [ Please take my call to save my life. I have something very important to tell you. I will die if you keep ignoring my calls ] The message read…Joana took a deep breath after she digested the message. The nurse in the reception quickly gave her the directions to Shawn’s ward and she strode to the ward with a heavy heart.Getting to the ward, Joana saw a nurse coming out from inside and she greeted immediately.“ You are here to see the patient?” the nurse accosted, holding the door. “ Yes, I am. Can I go in” Joana managed to forc
“ What is going on here? Shawn? You?” Maya asked letting the food she had prepared for Shawn drop off her hands as she stood speechless, not believing the obscene before her eyes.Joana abruptly stood up feeling shameful and wanting to leave but Shawn stood up and dragged her back to himself. “ You are not leaving this place, Joana. I made a mistake, and I’m correcting it right now!” Shawn snapped, feeling remorseless.“ Shawn, So it's been her all along? The one you keep calling her name even while on the bed with me?” Maya’s voice was shaky. She was broken and couldn't take a step. Maya’s words shocked Joana. “ What is she saying, Shawn? Can you please let me go?” Joana kept struggling in Shawn’s overwhelming grip as she buried her face in his chest feeling like a betrayal.“ You are not going anywhere because and I will confess the truth right here and now” he replied with a straight look on their face while protecting Joana and holding her to his chest as the woman he desired
The next morning in the hospital, Joana placed her head on Shawn’s body while he lay on the bed. She had to spend the night in the hospital with Shawn since it was late and she couldn't go back home. The rays of the lights flashed through Shawn's eyes accompanied by a slight knock on the door which suddenly brought him to realize it was day. He opened his eyes to find Joana sitting down and resting her head on him. Unbelievably, they fell asleep that way without realizing it. The door opened and momentarily, Joana opened her eyes too. “ Good morning, nurse. Hope I’m getting discharged this morning. Gosh! I'm tired already” He expressed his frustration. “ No, Mr Shawn. Not this morning but in the afternoon” The nurse smiled and then turned her gaze to Joana.” Miss, can you excuse us? We don't allow visitors when it's time for administration of drugs. You can come back once in thirty minutes” “ What? That's my girlfriend, nurse. Can't she remain with me while you do that?”
Shawn knocked on the door with anger written on his face. He could not believe that Maya did not comprehend all he said in the hospital. “ I'm coming, hold on for a while” her voice thrilled from inside. “ My love, allow her to come,e and don't flare at her. She is a woman who is just desperate so, please follow her with wisdom “Joana's soft voice sent peace to Shawn’s soul and Shawn kissed her forehead while they waited for Maya.“ I don't think I can ever find a replacement for you on earth. Your understanding exceeds human comprehension. Thank you, my Angel” Shawn said.Soon, they could hear the tingling of keys and cracking of the door from inside, and the door flung open.“ Hi, honey” Maya squealed, trying to hug Shawn but was taken aback by Joana’s presence. “ You, What are you doing with my man? Haven't I warned you to stay away from him? He was mine okay? “ Maya snapped at Joana, provoking Shawn.“ Hey, don't you dare raise your voice at my girlfriend again and I am not you
Matthew’s car was packed outside when Shawn dropped Joana off at her uncle’s place. Shawn insisted on coming in with her but she declined and asked him to go back home. He was just coming back from the hospital and needed some rest.After bidding Shawn goodbye, she strode down inside.As she opened the door, she saw Sophia, Matthew, and Simon in the living room. Nothing bad seemed to be happening so she just greeted Matthew and went ahead to hug Sophia.“ Uncle Simo,n what is it? You scared the hell out of me” Joana fumed.“ Your uncle needed the attention of a woman and you were all gone with Shawn so…” Shopia cuts in.“ C’mon, Joana. You were gone all through the night and I was worried. You did not call to tell me you’ll be passing the night in Shawn’s place” Simon narrates and Joana collapses on the couch.“ Did you just pull a stunt on me?” Joana lamented. Simon just destroyed her sweet moment with her boyfriend. “ It's so cool here. Dad, I think I'll be taking my leave now.
