Novel & Cerita The Day You Went Away

Before Lily's surgery, the nurse slid the consent form across to me. I called my husband, Ethan Reid, eleven times. When the twelfth call finally connected, the first voice I heard was his first love, Claire Bennett, on the verge of tears: "Ethan, the zipper on my wedding dress is stuck. Don't leave yet." I looked at my daughter, white with pain in the hospital bed, and said, "Lily's waiting for you." Ethan was silent for two seconds before saying, "Just sign it. I'll get there later." Later, Lily studied the lone guardian's signature on the form and asked, "Mom, can I leave Dad off the school forms from now on?" I said she could. From that day on, she stopped leaving room for Ethan anywhere

"To my dearest mum, I wanted to write a speech but I didn't know how. So Instead,I wrote something even better. I'm gonna tell you how many times I've missed you since you left.

I missed you when I went to New York. I missed you when--"

*** My eyes fluttered open as the sun's rays slowly invaded my room, earning a groan from me. Why does morning have to come so soon? Couldn't the hours be a bit longer? I reluctantly stood up, walked to the window, closed it, and let out a yawn before stretching. It suddenly struck me like lightning. Date. Fun. Laughter. Goodbyes. Kisses. Departure. My heart thumped loudly within me. He was leaving today, and yesterday felt like our farewell. My eyes welled up, and a tear trickled down my cheek. Why was I feeling this sadness? Wasn't this what I wanted?

“A few call-center people, drunk people, just-came-from-a-wake people… the usual.” “Hey, I know you can see and hear me!” the stray beside her interrupted. He was talking and screaming and whining non-stop, and Akira’s head began to ache. Of the short shift she worked in this 7-Eleven, it sure felt like a thousand days with this tireless, lost soul. Shut up, shut up, shut up! “’Just-came-from-a-wake people?’” Nate asked and pondered for a second before realizing what Akira meant. “Oh… pagpag.”

Flora sprawled on the bed, her eyes closed, feeling too lazy to get up. She wished she had nowhere to go that day, she has a fashion shoot with her two friends Daisy and Kimora. She turned immediately she hear her phone buzz and rolled her eyes immediately she saw it was from Gregor. She has been ignoring his calls and texts and doesn’t want to talk to him. She’s definitely going to talk to him but not now, she wants him to feel hurt the way he made her feel.

"Then sleep a little longer. I'll stay right here with you." That tender scene was a knife driven hard into my heart. I bit down hard on my lip and forced myself not to let a sob escape. I turned and left the VIP area, then went back to my own room. I told myself not to cry. I told myself I couldn't cry. … Four days before I was scheduled to fly to Velport for the wedding, I checked out of the hospital. As soon as I walked out of the hospital, I saw Daniel leaning against a black sedan, waiting for me.

His pleas were silenced forever—left to vanish in the distance. Turning to my driver, I said, "Take me to the orphanage. Did you buy Jeannie’s birthday cake?" The car sped forward, the passing scenery blurring into long, straight lines. I rolled down the window, letting the warm breeze kiss my face. Everything was moving forward toward the light.

The next morning, just before 7:00 AM, Heather woke up. She smiled as she saw the notification for her train departure and the package in transit. She had already packed everything she needed days ago, and the remaining items were only the essentials she would need for the coming days. Once everything was packed, Heather left the place she had once considered home, without looking back. - Meanwhile, Mitchell suddenly woke up in Bethany's bed, his chest tight with unease. His heart raced as the feeling of panic grew stronger. He glanced at the clock, then quickly got dressed.

Storm I woke up the next morning and it wasn’t long before the thought that today was my last day with Kat sank in. Laying there, I felt the ache in my chest as the tears gathered in my eyes. I was going to miss her when I left here, but my leaving here had to happen. There really was no other option for me. My survival depended on me getting out of here and making a life for myself elsewhere.

Alessandra. His real love. His priority. He answered the call and left in a hurry. I sat there, my body still weak, my heart heavier than before. I didn’t belong in this hospital. This was where I had lost Lucy and my mother. I wasn’t staying here a second longer. So, I left. When I returned to my apartment, I shut off my phone. I didn’t want to hear from Vincent ever again. But if he had found me once, he could find me twice.
