“What happened? Are you okay, and who is that woman? And why did she slap you so hard? Maybe you made something big mistake to her before, or perhaps she is your ex-girlfriend?” Jaime asked me, but I couldn't answer her because my mind was wandering where I was still thinking about that mysterious woman.

Why did I tell her about that? I whispered from my mind and I feel sorry for what I said to her, so I deserve her slap because anyone would be angry with what I said even if maybe Jaime would be angry with me, and possibly I will receive more than a slap from her. I can't get rid of that woman in my mind because I want to apologize to her and I had no bad intentions in what I said to her, I was just carried away by my emotions. Furthermore, I looked around me hoping to see her there, but I didn't see her, even her shadow there. I looked down for a moment at the paper bag I was holding now, where the dress was placed. I don't know if I should give it to Jaime because I don't have good

    “Are you really not going to change your mind?” after she said that, I looked up at her again, and suddenly, she laughed loudly. “Why? Don't tell me you're still mad at me because I slapped you earlier? I'm sorry, sorry, I'm truly sorry.” She added and repeatedly apologized to me even though I should be the one apologizing to her, but I couldn't because I'm not the type of person who can easily say sorry. But I noticed from her that it was as if it were effortless to say those words to her, besides that she seemed to quickly forget just like the mistake I made with her inside the mall.“It's no wonder why you like that dress. Even I was stunned and amazed when I first saw it. I fell in love with the beauty, even though I don't wear that kind of dress.” I jokingly said to her, and she smiled at the same time.“Don't say that you intend to wear that? You'd better just sell it to me, and I promise I'll keep it for the rest of my life.” She said, and she suddenly looked down where the smi

    “You're awake.” The first thing she said to me. My eyes widened in shock when I realized that woman was not Jaime.“You? W-what are you doing here?” I stammered to her, and then she put the plate on the table.“It looks like I disappointed your expectation. Are you disappointed because I'm not the girl you were waiting for?” she said, and then she sat on the chair while I remained silent, just looking at her. “I'm sorry if I use your food in your refrigerator. I'm hungry and besides, we're friends, aren't we?” she added, which surprised me as I raised an eyebrow and winced.“Yes, you really disappoint me, and you always make surprises that I don't expect.” I said, and then I sat in the empty seat and she smiled. I turned my gaze to the food that was lying on the table which was really attractive, and it was as if its fragrant smell were kissing my nose. She laughed when she noticed the expression on my face, so I looked up at her with a trace of astonishment on my face.“Why are you l

    After a while, I felt calmer, but I didn't tell the doctor the reason why I suddenly had a breakdown in front of him. He didn't ask me anything else, he just nodded his head and then handed me a glass of water.“I don't think it's good for your friend's condition when you're both down. So, you did the right thing and released everything that's heavy on your chest that your friend doesn't know because when she sees you like that she'll definitely be sad too. It's better if you just hide from her all your feelings or whatever sadness you feel. I have encountered many patients like her, and many have cried in front of me. I understand them, you and all of you because it's not easy for you but as much as possible don't show your weaknesses in front of the patient because you are of the ones they draw strength from. So, you should always be happy when talking to her so that she feels the same and don't get down or think about anything that could cause her depression or be aware of her illn

    Marie and I became close to each other, but there were times when we were both silent and still awkward with each other. Maybe we've only known each other for a short time, and we don't really know each other yet. However, I am glad that I met her, and she was the first woman I became friends with, the woman I told about my secret. Yes, I told her everything including about my illness so that she knew I understood her feelings, her situation, what she was going through and all her problems. She didn't believe me at first, and she even got angry with me thinking that I was just making up a story, but when I showed her the results of my medical, her eyes almost widened in shock, and she didn't know what to say to me. She almost cried in front of me, but I stopped her and threatened that I would tell other people her secret if she cried in front of me. I also told her my weakness where I don't want a woman crying in front of me. I thought she would think I was weird, or I was funny-man,

    I waited for Carlo, Jaime's best friend, to come out of the restroom, but I hid and didn't show him. It was only a few moments before I saw him come out, and I frowned when I saw something strange in his walk. I noticed that there was a bandage wrapped around his left leg, and he also had an arm sling on his right arm. In addition to that, he had several scratches on his face as well as on different parts of his body. I keep wondering what really happened to him? Then it turns out that I was thinking wrong and thought that he was visiting someone here at the hospital who was his secret lover, but it was true that he had an accident. While I was staring at him, I noticed some female nurses and female patients around us where they were all staring at him with a sweet smile on their lips. Even here inside the hospital, his charm is still famous to women's. After all, I can't blame them either because he's really handsome, tall, and attractive in the eyes of women because of his charisma.

    “Can I kiss you?” the word that suddenly came out of my mouth, then I quickly covered my mouth with my two hands, and unexpectedly I received a slap from Jaime where Marie witnessed it. Because of her slap on me, I woke up to my senses and I slowly turned to her while her face showed shock and surprise.“Louie.” Marie called me, and she came to me with a worried look on her face. Jaime's attention shifted to her, and she observed her from head to toe, where she noticed that Marie was wearing a patient gown.“I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit you, I was just shocked by what you said.” She said to me. I couldn't look into her eyes or her face, I was ashamed of what I said in front of her. Instead, I just forced a smile on my lips and scratched the back of my head.“I said? What did I say? I didn't say anything, did I?” I said as I looked up at her with an awkward face. Her two eyebrows were raised, and she was looking at me in astonishment. “Did I say something?” I added as I looked at

    I have returned home, and I am currently sitting on my sofa in the living room while I wait for Jaime to arrive, but she is almost ten minutes late, and she still hasn't arrived.“What can you say about what I'm wearing today, Baste? Do you think she'll drool when she sees me like this?” I said to Baste who just passed by the living room while he was holding a jug. He stopped for a moment and turned to me. He looked at me from head to toe and observed the formal black suit I was wearing. Furthermore, he shook his head and his face shows that he doesn't agree in what I'm wearing.“What kind of look is that? Why are you staring at me like that?” I said to him, and then he let out a deep breath.“So, you won't be seeing a business partner tonight, boss? But Jaime?” he said, and then I leaned my back on the sofa.“Why? Am I shining too much tonight?” I said to him with a hundred percent confidence in myself, and then he grinned as I looked up at him. I widened my eyes, causing him to be a

    The night I left Louie, I received a call from a nurse where I learned that Carlo was taken to the hospital after he had an accident. I was so scared and nervous that I immediately got out of his car and left without saying goodbye to him. I was shaking with so much fear, and I didn't realize that tears were falling from the corner of my eyes while I was calling a taxi. Furthermore, I immediately reached the said hospital where he was, and I was stunned when I met him. Our eyes met each other as he looked at me in surprise.“Jaime? What are you doing here?” was the first word he uttered in his mouth, but I did not respond to him immediately, but instead I ran to him, and then I hugged him tightly while I cried. “What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did something bad happen?” he added as if he had no idea why I was crying like a child in front of him. He wiped the tears from my eyes with his hand and managed to smile despite what happened to him, that he almost died in the accident. I loo
