Doctor Joel is waiting patiently for Mandy, as she enters the hospital, he walks to her, to lead her way to his office. "Sorry for the inconvenience, I was the one who placed a call to you." "It's fine," "Mr Noor's condition is very bad, your name is the only word he keeps murmuring, so I thought I could make an effort to look for you." "What happened to him? Who brought him here?" "Maybe, you could see for yourself." Doctor Joel pushed the ward door, and her eyes moved to Noor, lying on the hospital bed, looking so lifeless with drips, machine attached to his body, practically depending on these machines, Mandy closed her mouth, as tears dropped from her eyes, she blames herself mentally for all the pain Noor might be experiencing. "Mr. Noor doesn't have enough oxygen going to his brain, for him to function fine, so he falls into comatose, but right before that, your name was the only thing he kept murmuring, like I said." Mandy took a deep breath, she just couldn't break down
Lauren is waiting patiently for Mandy, it's getting late, and he is more tense but just trying to control himself. At exactly 10 pm, Mandy pushed the door of the building, Lauren was sitting coldly on the couch, she didn't throw an eye on him. "Where are you coming from?" Lauren asked in anger. "Nowhere." "You kidding me right?" Lauren placed his hand in his pocket and walked slowly to her. "Where are you coming from?" He is mad, his voice is not friendly but he still wants to control it. "I just said nowhere." "Mandy, what is wrong?" Lauren reduced his voice, he was angry but he didn't want to show it, so she pushed passed him. "Fine, if you don't want to tell me, go and take your bath, so we eat together." "I am not hungry," Mandy said as she darted to her room, and Lauren closed his eyes, he needed Mandy more than anything else in the world, and since Mandy didn't want to talk to him, he went to his room. He is already in the living room the next morning, Mandy is all dressed,
Noor was expecting Mandy, right from the early hours of the morning but she didn't show up, he was almost giving up, when Mandy pushed the door, her face was different from the previous day. "Are you alright?" Noor asked, that is the only word Noor asked, the one that merely looking at Mandy's face could detect that she was sad. "Yes, I am fine, how are...""You are not, did Lauren hurt you? Did he scold you for coming home late?" Mandy cried and hugged him, he clenched his fist in anger, how dare Lauren? As Noor ran his hand on her back, she pulled from him. "I wasn't able to prepare something, so I decided to get on my way here, you should eat.""Feed me!" Noor said, she looked at the food like someone having a deep thought and then decided to, Noor remembered all the good times they had together before her marriage, his love for her had grown over the years, and every single day, he wished that they never part ways, this one woman in front of him, is the one he wanted. He was read
Mandy spends the night with Noor, though she is there, her heart is not there, she keeps checking her phone, if Lauren's call will come in but he is not coming. "Go to bed, stop checking your phone." "Silly, how do you know, I am checking my phone?" Mandy asked, as she dropped her phone and then moved to Noor to cover his chest, Noor pulled her, making her fall on his chest. "Noor!" "Lie here, you don't want to spend the night on that chair, do you?" Mandy never did think about that, he just brought it to her notice. "Are you...""Yes, lie here, it's big enough for two people." Noor voice came up, she lay on the bed but was too scared to even sleep with her two eyes completely closed. *****The next morning, Lauren didn't come out of the room, and he didn't go to the office, when Nick was done with the food, he pressed his Telecom. "Master Lauren! The meal is served." "Trash it, I am not hungry." Those were the words Lauren managed to say, he was in pain, he had developed a cold
"For what?" Mandy asked him, and he smirked. "Why didn't you eat last night and today?" "I wasn't hungry!" "Have you ever seen anyone who is not hungry throughout the day?" Lauren didn't reply to her. "Go on tell me." "You weren't here to eat with me." Mandy looked at him, she blushed, averting her gaze, she shouldn't play with fire, Lauren doesn't love her. "Haven't you been eating without me?" "You look different." "Different?" Mandy asked. "Yes, when you blush." She hurried from his bed, she needed to give him space. "You are fine now, I should leave." He holds Mandy's hand, she looks at him. "Stay with me...""I can't, I promise Noor to come back." Lauren let go of her hand, he grabbed his bedspread to cover himself. "I will just return in the evening." Lauren didn't say any more words, Mandy turned around and left, and he closed his eyes, what madness had he gotten himself into? As each day passes he longs for a woman whose heart belongs to another, instead of the love goin
"I was...""You said you were coming home last night but you didn't and now, you are just coming back? The last time I checked you are not a nurse neither are you a doctor." "Lauren, he...""What the fuck does he need you for? And don't give me that look like you felt guilty and want to help him." "Yes, I put him in that mess, so I should help." "Mandy, you don't take me for a fool do you?""I don't know what you are talking about the truth is Noor is my responsibility, so I should..." "Mandy keep your mouth shut." Lauren's dry voice thundered, he had, had it up to his neck, there was no way he could be calm, Mandy pressed her hands together, trying not to say things that would annoy the monster in front of her. "What did you do with him?" Lauren questioned her, she looked at him confused, what could she possibly be doing with a sick man? "Can you hear yourself talk, he is in the hospital, what will I be...""Did he not kiss you?" Mandy closed her eyes, she couldn't say that Lau
Lauren was the first to wake up, he watched the sleeping Mandy on his bed with her hair scattered on his bed, he bent to kiss her, and Mandy's phone rang. "Shit!" He presses the button to stop it from ringing. "Is that my phone?" Mandy asked in her sleep. "Nope!" Lauren said, he wanted to switch the phone off, but the call came up again before he could press the switch button. "That is my phone." Mandy stands up, only to see Lauren with her phone. "Hey, that is my phone, who is calling?" "I said no one." "You telling lies." She grabbed her phone from him, only to see a message from Noor. "Oh my God! I told him, that I was...""Mandy! Where are going?" "I need to bathe, I have to..." Lauren held her hand. "Mandy please, don't pick Noor over me."Mandy looks at him. "Yes, I know Noor is your first love, I was scared that you still have feelings for him, that is the reason I didn't tell you, about him, I just felt if I let you know that, he didn't hurt you in his right senses, he
Lauren is getting impatient since no conversation involved him, Larry is busy talking with Merlin, he too was supposed to talk to Amelia but he didn't he decided to chat with Mandy. "What is my bonbon doing?" "Are you done?" Mandy asked him, as soon as she saw his message"Nope! But don't worry, I will soon be out, it's boring." "Why?" "It's simple, you are not here." "Silly, I will wait for you, I missed you." "Hm," "Yes, I do, I am bored here too.""Really?""Yes, I do." "Do you want me to come home now?" Lauren typed for Mandy. "Now?""Yes, just say the word.""Yes," "What will you do, if I return?" "I want to lie on your chest." "And?" "Hug you,""And?""Cuddle you." "And?" "Eat with you.""And?" "Nothing!" "And?" "Fine, what do you want?" Mandy typed in frustration. "I want to kiss you." Mandy's eyes bulged out, immediately after she saw the message. "Fine, what are you doing?" Lauren tries to change the topic, that word must have made her shy and her next act
