Nichol was confused what to do. Since earlier he had not left Manuel's room. He panics and worries if he did something wrong. It was true that the operation was done on the responsibility of Doctor Jesline, but he still felt guilty. Periodically, Nichole checked on Manuel's condition. However, until evening he did not regain consciousness."Nichol, I know you're worried. Never mind, go back to your office, do your report," Jesline ordered Nichol back.It was all her fault, had Doctor Adam not left sooner this might not have happened. She looked at Manuel with a guilty look. She repeatedly sighed, hoping that Manuel would wake up soon."Excuse me, ma'am, the patient's family has come," said a nurse.Jesline's chest was beating faster. She didn't know what to say. Explaining that it was her fault puzzled her. "Okay, please tell them to wait outside," Jesline pleaded. She lifted her head, staring at the ceiling, hoping that Manuel would regain consciousness."Good evening, I am Doctor J
Jose stared at the mound of earth covered with flowers. He never expected his best friend to leave this soon. There are things that are strange for Jose.How can Manuel die even though he was treated on in a big hospital? He was sure that something was off about Manuel's death. Jose's strongest guess is that there was an error during the operation. How could the operation go smoothly and then Manuel just died?The sound of crying echoed in Jose's ears, he could feel Angela's hurt feelings. He lost the figure of a friend and brother in his life.Someone in a black robe came, she tied her hair before sitting beside Manuel's grave."Sorry, I couldn't save your life," Jesline said with tears in her eyes.She was so hurt that she had done a terrible mistake. Usually she was always successful in surgeries, but because of her arrogance, now that she failed, innocent Manuel became the victim."Doctor Jesline?" said Angela. Manuel's mother wiped her tears and hugged Doctor Jesline."Sorry ma'a
When the night wandered on, Valerie sat pensive on the bed, for some reason this night was not as usual. Valerie was horrified, this horror was almost the same as the horror that always attacked her in the old nights. The birds in the leafy front trees made terrifying noises, squeaking as if for omen.But what omens?Valerie checked back and forth for the door alarm, and took a deep breath. The alarm is set perfectly, the door is tightly closed with the lock and latch attached. Why does she keep feeling scared?Valerie went back into the room, locked her door and lay down, pulling the blanket up to her back. She should have felt free, she should not have been wracked with fear anymore. But why is this feeling the same? It was the same as before... far back in the past, where bad memories surfaced, memories she wanted to forget.Suddenly there was a loud voice at the back door of her house. Valerie was so shocked that she jumped out of bed. Her heart pounding violently, she stared at th
Valerie just came home from work. She threw herself onto the brown sofa in the middle of her apartment. The tendrils creeping up in front of the windows blocked the orange sun that shot out before setting. She closed her eyes, then took a deep breath, trying to relax. Even if she closed her eyes, Valerie was still smiling, remembering George and their small talk.Olive said George had actually been aiming for her for a long time to be approached. Valerie was pensive in a smile that never went away on her lips. From the first time she was introduced to George, a new employee in her division, she fell in love at first sight. She, however, did not think George might have had the same feelings, until Olive told her.This afternoon, George suddenly approached her when she was pouring hot water from the dispenser into a cup containing instant coffee. The aroma of coffee immediately wafted out, filling the room, creating a pleasant fragrance. George greeted Valerie casually and she was alread
George approached her that afternoon with his signature big smile.“I heard you won the greatest contract of employment this year.”Valerie smiled shyly at George's greeting. Everyone praised her, even though all she did was come and bring files to be signed as ordered by her superior. Valerie herself rejected all the compliments. The goal of this large tender was not based on her efforts, but rather on the efforts of her superiors who negotiated with great effort. What Valerie did was just the finishing touch, preparing all the contracts and letters of agreement, according to her expertise and then making sure that they were all signed.“It's all not just because of me,” replied Valerie sweetly, half shyly.George laughed at that and shrugged. “Whatever it is, you've done it, and I think we deserve to celebrate.”“Celebrate?”“Yes. You and I, have dinner together.”“Dinner together?”This time George chuckled with amusement. “Val, you are repeating my every word.”Valerie's cheeks flu
“You know, it's been almost three years since I last dated a girl.”George smiled softly as he looked at Valerie. They have finished dinner at an elegant restaurant which serves extraordinary delights. The light of this restaurant is deliberately dominated by a warm yellow color, with dark wood paneling floors that blend into the atmosphere. It's very, very beautiful.Valerie never thought her date with a man, as far as she can remember, could be this beautiful. She smiled, resting her fingers lightly on her chin, looking up at George who looked very handsome in the dim light.“Aren't you interested in asking anyone before?”George took a sip of his drink, then looked at Valerie meaningfully.“I lost my loved ones, and then tried to heal my own soul. When I realized, it turned out that I had missed a lot.” The man looked sad. “My fiance died three months before our wedding date.”Valerie's face turned pale. “I am sorry.”“do not apologize, I really want to tell you.” George looked at V
After that incident, George escorted Valerie home and in the end, after Valerie forced him and assured him that she was fine, the man wanted to leave her and go home. That night she lay in the dark, trying to sleep but her eyes were wide open. She then sat down and opened the drawer beside her bed. There was a small pill in a glass bottle, a sedative from her psychiatrist in a small dose, only taken if Valerie had a panic attack due to the trauma of her accident.She hadn't taken the pill in a long time.Does she have to drink it now? The memory of the incident at the restaurant still made her nauseous. It feels so excruciating to feel scared but do not know why. Valerie took a deep breath, closed the drawer again and tried to forget the intention to drink it. She has recovered, she will no longer return to being the depressed and fearful Valerie. Maybe the candle just reminded her of something from her past, something that had probably sunk into her memory so she couldn't even think a
“Your prince is coming to pick you up.”Charlotte winked as she lightly touched Valerie's shoulder as she walked by, awakening her from the work contract files she was examining. Valerie raised her head and her smile widened when she saw George leaning against the entrance to her division, looking at her with a gentle smile.It was already late in the afternoon and most of the employees in her department had left so the room was deserted, there were only one or two people who were still finishing their work, including Valerie.“Overtime?” George approached and stood at Valerie's table side.Valerie shook her head. “Just finishing unfinished work, this file just arrived at four o'clock this afternoon and I have to check it because tomorrow this contract must be signed.”Valerie smiled apologetically. “I am sorry, it might take a while. If you have something more important maybe you can go home first.”George smiled. “I do not have anything to do. I'd rather sit here and wait for you, st
