A Drop of Tears



"You don't just talk, Nala!"


"I don't just talk, Nathan! I will indeed help Laurie resolve this matter. I'm gonna try to see Zack!"


"You're not crazy!"


"I'm not crazy, Nathan. All this time he's been so outrageous and you can just shut up?"


"Nala, understand that Zack is not a random person. Didn't I tell you he's a mafia. He's one of the biggest mobsters in Asia, Nala."


"Why indeed? Why is he one of the biggest mafia? Are we not both human?What is there to be afraid of?"


"You should never take it lightly, Nala. What we're dealing with isn't a joke. He's a ruthless mafia, a very ruthless mafia."


"But I'm not afraid."


"Don't play with Zack! Besides, you'll never let you try Zack."


"It doesn't matter to me, Nathan. I'm going to keep trying to challenge Zack because I don't want our family to be shackled like this. Shackled by Zack. It's enough that we all have the pressure and suffering that Laurie feels. We all need to be free of Zack."


"I know that, and we're trying to get away from Zack, Nala. But it's not that easy, it's not as easy as you might think. Did you forget, I told you Zack could get rid of whoever he wanted. He can kill anyone he thinks could interfere with his life."


"Is that including me if I try to challenge him?"


"Enough Nala! We don't want to lose you."


"No Nathan, I'll keep trying to save Laurie from Zack. You don't have to be afraid because I'm going to play pretty, I'm not going to challenge Zack blatantly. But I'll stab him in the back."


"No Nala, whatever you do is very dangerous."


"Nathan I can take care of myself."


"Please don't be stubborn Nala, I'm sure papa won't allow you to just meet Zack."


"Papa will definitely understand because this is the only way to save Laurie."


"No, Nala, whatever it is, it's the same way you gave your life to Zack."


"Nathan, please trust me."


"Quite Nala, I don't want to argue with you, we better go home now."


"Nathan please!"


"We're coming home now because I don't want to hear your babble. Don't ever dream of challenging Zack because it's the same as giving up your life."


Nala was silent, free to argue with Nathan because whatever he said, Nathan would not allow himself to meet with Zack. At the moment he must follow Nathan's will but he is determined in his heart to save Laurie at all costs, including dealing with Zack.


'Laurie, take it easy I will definitely try to help you escape from your evil husband Zack. I don't want you to live in the pressure and suffering of having to live with a man like Zack, Nala's inner self in the heart.


...****************...


The clock has shown at four in the afternoon, which means Alvaro's working hours have run out. He then called one of the nursing assistants.


"Nothing is, Doc. Then is there another visit to the patient's room?"


"Also there's no more."


"Then my job is done today, right?"


"My doctor, you can go home now. There are no patients anymore."


"Okay, thank you so much."


Alvaro then tidied up his desk, removed the snelli used by him, then washed his hands.


"I'll go home first, Sister."


"Yes Doc."


Alvaro then walked out of his room towards the hospital exit. However, while he was at the intersection of the corridor. Her heart felt so indecisive, her heart said as if pulling her to go to Laurie's treatment room.


The anxiety began to seep into his heart, just like this morning he felt. "Why did I suddenly feel like this? Why does it feel like I really want to see Laurie?" alvaro lirih.


After pondering for a moment, Alvaro then decided to go to Laurie's treatment room. When he was at the door of the treatment, he immediately felt so hesitant, asking his common sense, about him that he suddenly stood at the door.


'Shouldn't I go home? Why am I even here? Why does my heart always seem to pull me to meet Laurie? What really happened to my heart?' inner Alvaro. Doubtfully, she finally opened the door.


FLECKISH


When the door opened, Olivia was in the treatment room, just finished cleaning Laurie's body. Seeing the arrival of Alvaro, a happy look was drawn on Olivia's face.


"Alvaro happened to come!"


"What's wrong, Aunt Olivia?" asked Alvaro who was surprised to hear Olivia's words.


"Oh this, auntie must take the items left in the car. Will you accompany Laurie for a moment?" ask Olivia.


For some reason, when he heard Olivia's words, happiness also penetrated into Alvaro's heart. "Oh of course, Auntie. I'll accompany Laurie here."


"Thank you, Alvaro. Auntie's out for a second."


Olivia then walked out of the room, while Alvaro sat beside Laurie. She observed that pretty face, a pretty face that looked so comfortable sleeping on top of the gurney.


"Good afternoon Laurie, how are you? So you still don't want to open your eyes? Or even respond a little bit to me?"


"Alright then, it's okay. Maybe you haven't told me much about yourself, Laurie. If you haven't told me about your grief, will you hear about my sad story?"


Laurie was silent, while Alvaro only smiled. "Isn't silence a sign of agreement? All right, now I'm gonna tell you a story. Exactly my sad story, my sad love story."


"Laurie, now that I'm asking you, do you know what it's like to be heartbroken? Sick? Yes heartbreak does hurt, and it's very sad. That's what I am today, I love a woman and repeatedly heartbroken at the same woman. It sounds so stupid but this is love, isn't the word love blind and logicless? My love is so blind, I can never even turn away from it. Even though I know he never loved me."


Alvaro then took a deep breath, then exhaled. "I'm a fool, aren't I Laurie? Yeah, that's me. I was that stupid human being, I was locked in the same love, even when I knew that love was unrequited and only inflicted a deep wound, I could never move on to another heart. I remain locked up in love without caring for logic."


"Maybe if you don't sleep right now, you're going to ask me, am I still in love with her? The answer is yes, I still love him a lot, but I realize he's not for me because he belongs to another, and I'm trying to kill all those feelings, I have to be sincere anyway. Yes, be sincere to let go of all these flavors. Laurie, maybe you should also be sincere, sincerely release all the pain you experience," said Alvaro. As he finished his words, suddenly a drop of tears came out from the corner of Laurie's eyes.
