The Hospital
Anna's footsteps quickly walked down the corridor to Joe's room in the hospital. Behind Anna, Ethan's long footsteps followed. Ethan's face is seen holding a lot of doubt on his face, but soon he's tepis, when Anna's legs and feet have stopped right at Joe's treatment door.
Joe Han
Name label on ICU room door. Anna was seen sighing as she read the man's name. He looks back, only to examine Ethan's face. The man's face looked flat.
"Ethan, if you're not willing to go in. Wait for me outside" Anna asked.
"Go in first, not the ICU. Just for one visitor each time," replied Ethan who was seen putting on an indifferent face later, and leaning against the wall.
Anna smiles at Ethan, before opening the door. A nun came to greet her and asked Anna to show the visitor's card to the nun.
"Only 30 minutes. Can't linger. He's in a coma. So you just have to talk close to her ear" Sister suggested.
"Please use a mask and PPE." The nurse gave a package of personal protective equipment, and a mask to Anna. After Anna put on APD clothes, the sisters left the room.
Anna stepped further inside until she reached the side of the bankars, where Joe Han lay.
Anna took a chair and sat down on the side closest to Joe. Recalling Sister's suggestion, Anna leaned her head closer to Joe's ear, and began greeting the lying man whose consciousness had been lost.
"Joe, it's Anna. How you doing?" ask Anna.
Not getting an answer.
Anna smiled bitterly. Then he dared to look at Joe's face. Paper-white face with blue bruises that still imprint. Although it is very vague. But Anna guesses the blue bruise trail is the one that Ethan left behind.
Anna closed her eyes to absorb the pain that had suddenly raged within her chest. The two men's names seemed to overlap filling his mind.
Ethan Ruan's
Joe Han
"Joe, are you gonna wake up again? can I say. I beg you to wake up quickly, and we go to school together again. This time I'll never refuse, shake hands with you. I promise I'll go home and go to school on my bike. I beg you, wake up ...," asked Anna with a voice she made as loud as possible without Isak's voice being heard.
"Joe ..," Anna called out, Anna carrying her hand caught a cold hand on the bed. For the first time, Anna clasped Joe's hand and brought him close to her cheek.
Feeling so cold and gloomy Joe's hand was very different from usual. A chest flare raged within her chest, shaking her pair of beautiful eyes pushing saltwater out from the end of her narrowed mouthpiece.
"I'm sorry Ethan, Joe ..." Isak Anna with tears falling down the back of Joe's cold hand.
"I'm sorry for her. She has high emotions, but she has a lot of love for me. How could I hate him for you. I can't Joe. I'm sorry!" anna whispered involuntarily carrying that cold hand touching her own lips.
"I'm sorry. Ii'm sorry. Pardon a-I ..," sobbed Anna, who then only spent the silence of the room with the sound of Isaac sounding up and down, without a word she was able to throw back.
The sound of footsteps sounded.
Heard a familiar voice. Anna immediately put down Joe's hand, and the other hand immediately wiped away her tears.
He immediately got up and turned around to find Ethan looking through the many traces of tears on Anna's face, and his pair of eyes were still glazed over.
Ethan advances slowly, only to bring his thumb to wipe away the tears Anan fell back as he approached the girl.
"Are you crying for me again? or for Joe Han?" ethan asks, and the next second Anna dodges Ethan's gaze, and leaves the ICU room quickly.
Ethan turns to chase, but soon uncovers his intentions, when he realizes his goal is to enter the ICU room. He turned back around, and stared pushyly as his pair of eyes found Joe Han lying with many hoses on his body on top of the bankars.
Ethan advanced slowly and drew closer to the figure who first made his whole body and heart startled at what he had done. For the first time, he cared for someone who had been the victim of the magnitude of his anger.
Ethan sat on the bankars side. The wet trail still imprints on the light blue bed sheet. Ethan was silent for a moment, guessing it must have been the rain Anna had created, for Joe.
Ethan clenched all his teeth tightly, trying hard not to wriggle. For the first time his soul and mind wanted to wrangle over his deeds. But saying sorry, for him is not a necessity.
For the first time, Ethan is down. It was as if Anna's request was buzzing whispering her back.
'I apologize to her as long as she still has a breath that makes her ears hear your apology, Ethan.'
Ethan grabbed Joe's cold hand, summed it up briefly in his grasp, and then he said whispering loudly to the man lying down.
"You must live to repay me. Never wake up if you give up
Anna's yours, I've taken it from the beginning. If you want it, you have to come back to life. Even if you've climbed the stairs to get to the sky, you should immediately roll back into your life as Joe Han who always liked Anna secretly."
Gluey!
Ethan swallowed his saliva, which was mixed with sobs, into his throat. After he calmed down enough, he came back to Joe's ear, whispering loudly.
"I'll never apologize to you. If you want me to kneel, then you have to get up and break my legs. You gotta get up, and show me who's worth Anna. You or me? I whisper to you, Anna is mine, where I came to snatch it from you, who only dared to like it in silence."
Ethan breathed again.
"Do you know? when did I start liking Anna .., surely you don't know. I ... liked Anna ever since reading your diary you left. I originally hid your diary, only to prank you, but I instead read it one sheet after another of your life stories that Anna liked secretly."
Ethan sniffed for a moment. Imagine how much he has great selfishness as a newcomer, who has the guts to steal the female character who is very liked by Joe Han. Ethan's back immediately wiped away the tears seen hiding at the end of his eyes.
