Novie has been waiting outside of the airport for almost five hours, the rain is pouring hard making her skin shiver.
Novie wanted to sit on the bench, but it was soaked even her clothes are half wet by the rain splash. She keeps on calling Ken's number but it just keeps on ringing and every time she will end the call, her heart pounded like crazy.
(Oh my God! Maybe he changed his mind and doesn't want me anymore) she exclaimed inside.
A lot of scenes came in her mind, making her crazy. She imagined Ken might have realized that he loves the woman in the picture, or he might be still angry to her for hurting him.
Her legs numbed, she tried to massaged it to ease the tension.
"Novie" Someone called her name from the distance, Novie narrowed her eyes to take a good look at the person walking to her direction.
When she saw the familiar figure, Novie wanted to cry, it was not Ken, instead, it was his friend Evan.
(Maybe he really changed his mind) she thought she's afraid that Evan is here to inform her that Ken doesn't love her anymore.
"Mr. Su" she walks to his direction making her body wet from the rain. The man walked faster and covered her head with the umbrella.
"Where's Ken?" she asked in a cracked voice. She stared at his face, there was sadness all over it and she already understands why.
Novie tug his collar and pull him closer, "Tell me why?"
"Novie listen..."
Novie interrupted him when she hit his chest, her heart is bursting with emotion, she doesn't want to hear the words he's about to say.
"Is it because of her?"
"Does he loves her?"
Tears streamed down from her eyes like the rain while her lips trembled, she cried all her feeling, no longer cares about her surrounding, she repeatedly hit Evan's chest, taking all her anger out.
"Novie I need you to come with me" Evan spoke in a concerned tone while looking around, people started whispering about their situation.
"For…." Novie stops when she saw Evan's cold expression, she gulped and looked around.
"Ken got into an accident, he's…." Novie widened her eyes and tug his collar one more time.
She glared at him with tears flowing like a river to her cheeks.
"Why did you just say it now?" she interrupted him and ran to the car that's been waiting for him.
She opened the door and looked back, her eyebrow creased when she saw how slow he was walking.
"Mr. Su, can you please hurry? Quick!" she yelled at him and get inside the car.
When the car started, her knee trembled, she keeps on clenching her hands while her eyes watch the road.
"Can you go faster, please?" Novie asked the driver, her heart palpitated, she wants to see Ken and find out if he's all right, even the man next to him doesn't know how bad Ken's injury was.
Her body shivered, but she doesn't care, her mind was somewhere else.
Suddenly she felt something warm on her shoulder, she turned to her right side and saw Evan wrapping a blanket around her shoulder.
"Thank you" she faintly said, the man nodded and looked at his phone.
"How did it happened?" Novie asked, Evan, looked at her and shrug a shoulder.
"I don't know, my wife called me saying I need to pick you up," he replied in a robot tone.
Novie gulped and rattled her knees, she's so nervous that she doesn't care how she looked right now.
"Can you please stop trembling" Evan spoke in a fretful tone.
Novie looked at him and swung her head, "I am so nervous, my body shakes by itself" she responded.
Evan sighed and replied in a calm tone, "Try to breathe and calm your body. If you need a warm body, I can ask the driver to hug you and I will drive"
Novie parted her lips and looked at him in a flat face, "No, I am fine"
Novie felt as if the road was never ending, she gradually asked Evan how far or if they are close but the man will only sway his head while his fingers are busy tapping on the phone.
Finally, the arrived in the hospital, Novie got down after Evan opened the door, she ran inside and ask for the emergency room.
"3rd floor left..." Novie didn't wait for the nurse to finish, she ran to the elevator and push the button, while Evan followed her.
She's getting impatience, there are 4 more floors before the elevator reaches the ground, she went to the fire exit and ran, as she left she could hear Evan sighing.
She reached the 3rd floor without a problem, she turned left and saw Bea Chu and Daniella fighting while Matthew and Danny are standing between them.
"Daniella, how's Ken?" she spoke in a distressed tone while she grabs Daniella's arm.
Daniella pulled her body to hug and slowly brushed her hair, and by her gesture, Novie's minds started to act crazy.
"Is he going to be fine?" her voice cracked as she asked the question.
Daniella stared at her eyes while holding her hands, "I don't know Novie, because Ken's stupid mother doesn't let me help her son." Novie could see the anger in Daniella's face as she shifted her eyes to Bea.
"She prefer a neanderthal doctor to operate my brother than me" Daniella's loud voice made her shoulder jump, Novie turned to Bea in confusion.
"If that monkey failed to save my brother, I am going to lock you both in the zoo" Daniella continued.
Novie parted her lips and thought how can Bea act like this, it's like she doesn't care if her son dies.
