Jan Lee took Angela to her house. When he is about to leave, Angela holds his left arm.
“Thanks for the jacket and the ride… I will never forget this moment… I will never forget that place...Hmm, you are the most unique person I had ever meet in my life…I hope you will never change,” said Angela and smiled at him.
“You're welcome, you can call me anytime,” Jan Lee answered. “So! I got to go.”
“Yeah! Please, be careful. Goodbye,” tell Angela and waved her hand at him.
When Angela entered her room, her mother is there hugging Cathy on her bed.
“Oh no! Sorry, Cathy. I was visiting the mother of Bernie. We are from the hospital. That is why I came home late,” then she walked forward to her cat, embraced her, and stroked its long orange hair.
“Hmm, it seems Cathy had a rival right now,” her mother said, meaning something to Angela. “Cathy, I have to leave you now your mother is here,” she said and grinned at her and leave the room.
"What happened sis?" Tessa asked Ally when she notice her sitting in the corner with her face down casted. "I worried about my father. We need to take him to the hospital. Shim found out that he was not taking medicine anymore. He does not even eat. Shim keep asking him but he refuses," Ally answered and sighed. "Why is he doing that?" Tessa inquires while holding her pen and notebook. "I do not know! Maybe he was thinking he is a burdened to us. But we never let him feel like that. I do everything in taking care of him. I was not mad at him. He was hurt when Jap gives trouble to our house. But we already managed it. We let Jap calmed and we explained to him what happened. He did not see my sacrifices. All he was thinking is himself. I do not understand. I worry about Shim. He is now taking care of our father. Even though, he is doing his study but still he manages his time just to give time in caring our father," Ally shook her head and cry.
"I am sorry for what had happened," Jan Lee said to Ally with his arms around her. He strokes her back and faced her."I never thought he would do this to me. He should be here. But look what he did? he even preferred to go with that woman. I was thinking of him when I needed his presence but he does not care about me. He is lying," Ally rested her head to Jan Lee while sobbing.Jan Lee felt hurt with what his twin brother did to Ally. He wanted to answer Ally's questions and reasoned out for Jim Han's sake. But he chooses to listen to her instead and let her go of her feelings. Then he holds Ally's hand and let her seat beside him in the bench. Ally continues sobbing with her face down ward. She cannot stop but let her tears flowed down her face. Jan Lee turns his face the other way and shook his head."Brother, what have you done?" he thought to himself. "You should be here instead of me. You let me clean up your mess, bro. You are too selfish," he conti
"Hmm, you must be tired," Ally said to Jan Lee when she notices him feel sleepy. "Thank you for your company and help. I would not be able to do this without you." "No problem," then Jan Lee carried the box inside the ward. Shim and Jap immediately open the box and unload the electric kettle, fan and blankets. After a while, the two brothers find some place in the corner and lay down. Jan Lee saw them lying on the floor and feel pity on them. "What about you? Where do you sleep?" Jan Lee asked her worriedly. "I think you have work tomorrow." "Yeah! I have but my father needs me right now to take care him. I must be on his side and attend to him whenever he needs something. The nurse will come here anytime and check for his progress so I need to be awake," Ally answered. "I see. But let me go home and take a pillow for you or bring some snacks here so you can eat when you feel hungry," Jan Lee said. "I need your offer but I feel ashamed
As he was resisting his sleepiness, he cannot stop but gaze on Ally’s face. He turned the other side for he would not look on her alluring figure. After an hour, Jan Lee feels his eyes to drop so he leans his head on the wall. In an instance, he was not aware that his face was directed in front of Ally’s face. Then, Ally’s father cough so hard that wakes her up. As she opens her eyes Jan Lee’s face was nearly in her lips. So, she patted his neck to wake him up. When Jan Lee opened his eyes, he was shocked and feel shy for his nose was about to touch Ally’s face. So, he immediately lifts up his head. “Sorry for waking you up. I need to look on my father to see what is happening,” then Ally get up and went to her father. After checking her father, she turns her face and saw Jan Lee asleep again with his head leaned on the wall. She took pity on him for he came there to help and be with her. She feels Jan Lee was tired already so he falls asleep. Then she seats beside h
"Is he the one whom you told me about?" Sou Yee asks Ally as they were about to enter the shop. Ally sensed that he was talking to Jan Lee so she looks at Tessa then turned to Sou Yee. "No, he is his twin brother. Yesterday, he was with me at the hospital. He is helping us. By the way, thanks for helping me. I really appreciate your help," then both of them stood still waiting for their boss's response. Sou Yee was not able to move after hearing Ally's response. He turned his eyes the other side thinking what to say. He wanted to talk about Jan Lee but he changed his mind. After seconds, he nodded his head. "Umm, yeah! Well...I was also thinking to company you at the hospital but...umm...never thought he is there already...you know...hmm never mind. I hope your father will get well soon. But anyway, you can call me anytime if you need my help, okay?" then he signaled his hand to walk away from them. "Oh no my friend! You are such a
Jan Lee began to puzzled in his mind. He asked himself why he had felt that feelings for Ally. He began to worry about her, her father and her brothers. Feels like a string is attached into his body that pulls him everywhere wherever Ally goes. He feels concern and he wanted to help her anytime. He heard the mellow sounds of the radio from their backyard and the cool air of his fan gently touching his skin makes him to fall asleep. Hours later, his phone rang and he quickly answer it. “Yes Ally?” he answered while hardly opening his eyes. “What? Ally?” a voice from his phone asked him. Jan Lee widened his eyes after hearing a familiar voice. He quickly checks the name on the screen of his phone of who is calling. He was shocked and quickly get up when Angela’s number and name appeared on the screen. He remembers, he does not have the number of Ally yet. “Oh No! Yes…Angela? Sorry I was asleep. I was dreaming,” he scratches his head and reasoned out for
“Oh! Sorry my friend for making you, our audience. I forgot this is not a shooting, ha, ha, ha,” Ally replied.“Hmm, yeah! I know, Come on! Get on the bike, your father is waiting for you there,” Tessa holds her hand and help her took her seat on the bike.When they are on their way, Ally immediately held her arms around Jan Lee’s waist. She leans her head on Jan Lee’s back feeling like a pillow that gives comfort in her mind. She feels secure and enjoy the moment as they were riding. She forgot everything whenever Jan Lee is on her side. After how many minutes, Jan Lee slows down his motorbike then Tessa patted Ally’s shoulder.“Hey, I am at home. Hmm, ha, ha, ha, you know what you are like a lizard in Jan Lee’s back. Wow! You are in good position, you know, you will not really fall if you do like that. Cause you are embracing him tightly ha, ha, ha. See you at the shop tomorrow, okay? Take care my friend,&r
Jan Lee looks down and turn the other side. It takes seconds for him to say words, “I will not hide nor run away, I will always be here Ally. What Tessa tell about you is true. You are precious…” “Please, come back!” Ally said with her eyes down. Jan Lee smiled and whispers into her right ear, “Yes I will.” When Jan Lee leaves the hospital, he cannot control himself but think deeply about her. He does not want Ally to get hurt so he responded that way to let her feel that he cares. “Sister, find some place to rest. I know you are tired, you have work tomorrow so you need enough rest. He will be back. Here use this one,” Shim told Ally while giving her a pillow and a blanket. Ally obeyed her brother’s concern. She lay in one of the benches of the corner and fall asleep after a while. At midnight, she was awakened by her father’s cough. So, she got up and look on what is happening to her father. “How are you papa?” she asked. “..
