The Missing Princess

Chapter 40 Mother hugged me...

Timo sat quietly on the sofa waiting room, his body felt crumpled and slightly bruised on his arm. While Keyla stood in the corner of the room lowered her head. He felt guilty for mistaking, to slam the body of Timo who was their patient's guardian.

"It's a drink first, Timo." Erna came to bring me a warm cup of tea.

"The truth is nothing is broken?" Erna's birthday is still unsure. He hears a very loud noise as Keyla slams Timo's body to the floor.

"Yes. I'm fine. It hurts a little, but it's okay." The answer is that he feels a little better.

"Keyla, you have no intention of apologizing to Timo?" Erna stared hard at Keyla.

"I'm sorry Mr. Timo." He lowered his body from where he had stood before.

"I'm sorry for my mistake Timo. I'm sorry…"

Timo nodded in pity at Keyla who repeatedly apologized to him.

"Not to apologize. I have forgiven you. After all, you are only reflexes in surprise. Maybe if I was in position you'd do the same." Timo.

"I'm sorry, I was too careless. I'm sorry you're in pain.." Keyla repeated. And this time, he said it while crying.

"It's okay, I really forgive you. So don't be sad." Timo felt sorry for the girl.

Erna was even speechless to see Keyla acting like that. He did not scold Keyla. He just told Keyla to apologize to Timo.

"Key, what's wrong with you?" Erna came up to him and saw tears dripping from her eyes.

"Keyla, stop apologizing. It's not entirely your fault. Ma'am was also wrong for forgetting to say you are..." Erna tried to persuade Keyla who looked increasingly sad.

"Once again forgive me. I'm sorry, Erna, I think I'm going on leave tonight." He said while sobbing. Then, Keyla immediately ran out of the clinic after taking her bag on the table right in front of Timo.

"Is that girl your assistant?" Ask Timo.

"Yes. He wasn't like this before. She was a cheerful girl and never took it seriously when I reprimanded her or even got angry when she made a mistake."

"He looked very sad. Looks like something happened. You better go after him, Er."

"No. His eyes said he wanted to be alone..."

"If you may guess, it seems that the girl is not just an assistant or a part-time worker to you."

"Your guess is right. She's a sister to me."

"I feel guilty for making your little brother sad like that." Timo.

"Not to worry. Tomorrow he will be back to his old cheer." Erna.

And this is where Keyla is right now. In one of the public toilets. He sobbed while turning on the water tap so that his cries could not be heard by others.

"Keyla, why are you so whiny this end. Why do tears always drip when I don't want to cry. hhiikkss." He cursed himself.

Not without reason his tears were dripping. Actually on the way to the Clinic, he passed Wulan who was going to Caffe with his campus friends. Keyla smiled kindly at Wulan who was staring as if she did not know him. The closer they got, Keyla grew her smile, but Wulan turned her face away as if she didn't know each other.

"Wulan must not have seen me so clearly. He can't ignore me, right?" He said while sobbing. Then she came back crying.

"Why does it hurt so much. Mother...if I had a mother, if she had, would she have embraced me when I was sad like this?"

Keyla was still crying. He even hugged himself while imagining someone holding him lovingly to soothe his heart that was in great pain.
