Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 35

Mia

“This ward is Mia’s ward!” I said.

“Yeah,she’s my girlfriend. Mia Cunnane ” He said, shocking me to the bone.

The flower dropped from my hand and my i felt a sudden rise of headache.

He smiled, looking satisfied before walking away.

I shouldn’t believe anything he said right?

Is he the one that makes her heart race?

He’s the guy!

My stomach tightened and i rested on the wall for a while.

My gaze fell on the rose flower on the floor.

Tears build up in my eyes as i smashed it with my shoes.

She told me she’s not in a relationship.

She lied to me!

How could i even believe everything she says.

I wish i had not felt anything for her.

I held back my tears and started walking away from the door.

I thought i could get a chance with her.

I like her so much and for the first time in years,i made up my mind that i want to be in a relationship.

With Mia.

When there are thousands of girls i could have, just by the snap of my finger.

She’s beautiful,cool and simple. Those are the main attributes i love in a lady.

No lady caught my interest since i ended my relationship with Susan.

But everything changed when i met Mia.

She made my heart sway again but unfortunately she can’t be mine.

I came here for a mission but i fell in love instead.

I didn’t regret that i fell in love cause i thought I’ll finally make Mia mine but now I’m regretting why i didn’t concentrate more on my mission.

Why i allowed my heart to direct me like a fool.

I’m such a weakling,i can never blame Steve for saying that.

She doesn’t even know about my feelings for her.

Do i expect her to remain single?

Of course not!

I thought our feeling was mutual,i thought i was the one she was talking about when she said a man do make her heart race.

I was wrong.

I’m so foolish to think i was the one.

Did they started dating recently?

I shouldn’t be hurt this much but right now my heart is in so much pain.

I didn’t even felt this way when i ended my relationship with Susan.

I got to the hospital cafeteria and sat down.

“What would you like to take?” A waitress asked.

“Whiskey” I said and she nodded before walking away.

I’m starving,I’ve not had anything since yesternight but i doubt if i’ll be able to eat now.

I just need a drink to clear my head and also clear my feelings for her.

The whiskey arrived and i poured some into the cup.

I gulped it all down my throat and it felt good.

I poured more,more and more.

Mia

“He’s not at home either” Nath said.

I sighed worriedly.

It’s 4:30pm already, Darrel promised to be back soon.

I couldn’t have my lunch because i can’t find Darrel.

I’ve called Luke and he said Darrel already left the police department hours ago.

His phone is off.

“Where could he be?” I asked Nath.

“I just hope he isn’t in danger. What if that assassin has hurt him” Nath said.

“No! She has not” i said.

“How did you know?” He asked..

“Huh? I mean, she might have not. I hope he’s fine wherever he is” I said.

I’m this worried cause i can’t find Darrel who has been gone for hours.

What if i kill him,then i will see him no more.

Oh..no!

I felt huge pain slashed my heart.

Can i bear not to see Darrel again forever?

Tears filled my eyes and i tried hard not to make it fall.

My heart felt heavy and I have a feeling Darrel is sad somewhere.

He should just come to me. I need to see him.

I need to feel him.

“Mia,I’ll go search for him but you need to eat first” Nath said.

“I don’t want to” I said.

“You don’t have a choice Mia. You need to, please. You’re just recovering you know” He said.

“How can i eat when I’m not sure of Darrel’s safety. I can’t, don’t force me to eat anymore!” I said.

The door opened and i sat up on the bed thinking it’s Darrel.

I couldn’t hide my disappointment when i saw doc Mart walked in.

“You’ve not had your lunch?” He asked in surprise.

“I can’t!” I said.

“You need to, it’ll help your recovery” He said.

“Darrel is no where to be found and I’ll just sit here eating?” I asked.

“It’s just hours since he left, he’s not a kid, he’s gonna return soon.”

“Darrel doesn’t switch off his phone, something is wrong” I said.

He sighed. “Are you sure you’re just his housekeeper?”

“Of course i am!”

” Nath please proceed with the search” I said.

“Promise me you’ll eat” He said.

“I will” I lied.

“I know you won’t but let’s leave that for now. Keep calling him while i go in search for him” Nath said before walking out of the ward.

I picked my phone and redialled his number.

Same thing!!

“Uh…Can i see your arm?” Doc Mart asked.

I’ve forgotten he’s in the ward with me.

“My arm?” I asked.

“Yeah” He said and i stretched it to him.

“No,the other one” He said and that got me thinking.

“You can use any of my arm for anything you wanna do,why do you want this?” I asked.

“I actually want to inspect the scar on it” He said taking me by surprise.

“Why?” I asked.

“Medical purpose” He said.

“You mean it’s written in the document to inspect the scar on any patient brought in here?” I asked irritably.

“I need to inspect it Ms Mia,it seems it’s not fully healed” He said.

“I know” I said.

“Does that mean it’s a fresh scar?” He asked.

“Do i owe you answers? You’re just a doctor signed to treat me. Don’t pry into my privacy” I said.

“You can leave now” I said and he bowed a little before walking out of my ward.

I hissed loudly and started redialling Darrel’s number.

I heard the door opened again…

“What the hell do you want aga…” I was saying but stopped when i saw Darrel.

I threw my phone on the bed and jumped to my feet.

“Darrel” I called, rushing to him.

He smelled of alcohol and that got me by surprise cause Darrel rarely drink.

He looks stable but his look is not friendly.

He raked his hand through his hair and went to sit on the chair.

“Darrel where have you been?” I asked but he didn’t respond.

I’m glad he’s finally here.

My heart seems to be coming together now.

“We’ve been worried about you” I said standing in front of him.

“Darrel just answer me! Are you hurt?” I asked and he nodded.

“OMG! Where?” I asked and he pointed to his chest.

“Your chest? I’ll go call doc Mart” I said, about rushing to the door when he pulled me back.

“I’m just joking” He said hoarsely and i sighed in relief.

“Where have you been? Your phone is off” I said.

“I saw the guy…” He said.

“The guy?” I asked,lost.

“The guy who makes your heart race.” He said.

The guy?

But,you’re the one!!

“Who?” I asked.

“I saw him walked out of this ward. He told me you’re his girlfriend” Darrel smiled coldly and my heart pounded.

Joel!!

Oh..my..God!

“You lied to me! Mia,you lied to me, you said you weren’t in a relationship!” He half yelled.

“I did not lie Darrel! Im not in any freaking relationship! That guy is the pesterer i told you about, he’s not the guy who makes my heart race” I said and watched his facial expression.

Darrel

“I did not lie Darrel! Im not in any freaking relationship! That guy is the pesterer i told you about, he’s not the guy who makes my heart race” She said and i held my breath for few seconds.

She’s not in a relationship!

That dude is a pesterer!

Oh..my.

I laughed out as excitement rose in me.

I was wrong all this while and i even drank because of that.

Does that mean i still have a chance?

But that doesn’t change the fact that there’s a guy somewhere who’s making her heart race.

I can make her heart race too.

“I’m sorry for making you guys worried” I said.

“Did that guy said anything else to you?” I asked.

“No,he didn’t but i didn’t feel at ease with him. He’s a bad person” I said and she sighed.

“I would have punched his face if i knew he was the pesterer” I said and she laughed.

“How did he know you’re here?” I asked and she shrugged.

“I don’t know either” She said.

“That means he tails you” I said.

“Isn’t that what pesterers do” She laughed.

I dragged her soft cheeks playfully and she laughed harder.

I smiled happily, seeing her laugh made my increased my feelings for her.

My heart is starting to pump properly.

I was sad hours ago but now I’m happy with the lady who made me sad.

Wow!

“Why did you drink? you rarely drink” She said, her laughter subsiding.

“I just needed to clear my head” I said .

“And you think drinking is the solution,you should have just talked to me” She said.

“I’ll do that next time” I said.

“Look,i didn’t even touched my lunch” She pouted, pointing to the covered plate on the large stool.

“Aww! I’m sorry but…”

“What?” She asked.

“I’m starving, we’re eating it together” I said.

“Of course” She smiled,adjusting the curls on my forehead.

I felt like pulling her close and kissing her.

Nath suddenly bursted in.

“No! I’m included,we are all eating it together” He said sweating profusely.

We laughed.

Mia

You mean, tonight is the mission?” I asked boss over the phone.

Yeah.

How come it’s tonight!” I nearly yelled.

Nath and Darrel already went home to make dinner.

Gosh! Didn’t you checked your email!

I..i didn’t.

What the hell were you thinking!

Boss,im hospitalised.

And? Will you freaking get up and start preparing for the mission you have tonight! ” Boss yelled.

Okay boss” I said and disconnected the call.

What am i gonna do?

I scrolled through my apps and clicked on my email..

The message stared at me.

Surprisingly,im not feeling that vibe again.

I’m always happy whenever i have a mission.

That feeling you get when you’re about to do something you love,that’s what i do feel but now…

Could it be because I’m hospitalised?

Yeah…i guess that’s it.

I glanced at the address and the name of the person.

I stood up from the bed and started performing some exercises.

***

I yawned and closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep.

We finished having dinner minutes ago.

Nath is already asleep and it seems the liquor Darrel took is affecting him.

He’s starting to doze off beside me.

I just need to wait for some minutes.

I’ll still need to go home and get my outfit and other necessary things.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw Darrel already asleep,he’s not dozing anymore.

I slowly brought out my legs from the blanket and shifted quietly to the edge of the bed.

I looked at him again before picking my flip flops in my hand.

I didn’t bother putting it on before walking to the door stealthily.

i breathed in relief when i held the door knob.

“Mia,where are you going to?” Darrel asked suddenly, startling the day living out of me.

My heart pounded against my chest as i turned slowly.

Mia

“Mia,where are you going to?” Darrel asked suddenly, startling the day living out of me.

My heart pounded against my chest as i turned slowly.

His eyes was now clearly opened and he was sitting up on the bed.

“I..i wanted to pee” I said.

“The bathroom is over there,you don’t have to go out of the door” He said.

“Uh…Yeah” I said thinking of a cover up.

“I did not want to disturb you guys, you both are tired and you need to rest” I said.

“Ohh…you shouldn’t bother about that, Mia” He yawned.

He should sleep already!

“I will use this bathroom then,you can go back to sleep” I said.

“No,i need to watch you sleep. Once you’re done,come to bed” He said.

“Just sleep if you want to,I’ll be fine” I said to him before walking into the bathroom.

I shut the little door behind me and sighed deeply.

I dropped my flip flops and walked to the wall mirror.

I’m still looking the way i use to,so what’s wrong?

Where’s that passion?

Am i also becoming weak?

No!

It should be because I’m hospitalised,I’m yet to get well enough.

That’s it right?

I turned on the faucet, placed my palms under the running water and splashed some water on my face.

I splashed more and more till i felt a bit okay.

Water scrolled down my face and i looked around for a napkin to wipe my face with.

Darrel should be asleep now.

I walked to the door and picked my flip flops.

Even if i succeed in getting out of this ward,the gatekeeper might not let me out.

Well… he’s not gonna know I’m a patient right?

I opened the door slowly and brought out my head first.

Haha…Darrel is deeply asleep.

I’m glad he took that liquor.

I walked out of the bathroom and closed the door slowly.

I inhaled when Nath turned in his bed.

My eyes went to the face cap beside him.

I might need that.

I walked to his bed and picked it up gently.

I walked to the door without making a sound.

I wore the face cap over my hair and adjusted it properly.

I need to go now before Darrel wakes again.

I twisted the door knob and pulled it open.

The stupid door made a sound and i quickly turned back to see if any of them was awake.

Thank goodness.

I walked out of the door and closed it after me.

I hurried across the hallway and i had to pull the face cap down when i saw doc Mart approaching.

He walked past me with two nurses rushing after him.

I guess there’s an emergency…

I walked into the reception and glanced at the…nurses chatting.

Till i got to the door,none of them took notice of me.

Wow!

Greatest nurses in the world.

This hospital isn’t safe.

Anyone can just come in and go out.

So unruly!

I stepped out of the door and started walking to the gate thinking of the excuse to give to the gatekeeper.

I hope he does not recognize me though.

“Hi” I said to the gatekeeper.

“Hello” He smiled.

“I need to get something for my brother who’s admitted here” I said.

“Ohh…Alright” He said and opened the gate.

“Thanks” I walked out and sighed in relief.

I’ll need to take a cab home .

Do i have cash with me?

Yeah,i do.

I saw a cab approaching and quickly waved it to a stop.

***

I alighted in front of the house, I handed the cabman his pay and watched him drive away.

I turned to the gate and of course it’s locked.

I saw my car parked in a distance.

They brought it already.

I glanced around before walking towards the wall that led to my window.

‘Did i closed my window? I hope not’ I thought as i began climbing the wall.

It was a bit difficult for me but i managed to get to my window…

Thank goodness it’s not locked!

I shifted the curtain and quickly hopped in.

I sat on the bed and rested for a while.

I pulled off the face cap and placed it on the bed.

Why do i feel tired after climbing the wall?

Is it because I’ve not recovered fully?

Yeah! That should be it.

I brushed back my hair with my hands before standing up from the bed.

I walked into the bathroom and got the key of the drawer from the cabinet.

I walked back to my room and inserted the key into the last drawer lock.

What if i had not locked this particular drawer and kept the key far away.

Darrel would have found out while searching for my undies and i would have been locked up like Steve.

Nah!

I pulled the drawer opened and stared at my costume.

‘It hurt me deeply whenever i hear of the innocent people dieing by her hand. What if any of her relative is being murdered that way? Or what if she is murdered that way’ I shuddered as Darrel’s words rang in my head.

“D--n!” I exhaled deeply.

I shouldn’t think about that now..

I should better hurry and return to the hospital before they notice my absence.

I pulled off my clothes and started getting into my ninja outfit.

***

I was sliding down the rope minutes later clad in my ninja outfit and mask.

I didn’t bothered putting on a wig.

My boot touched the ground and i disconnected the rope and started walking towards my car.

I pushed the brown gate and it gave way.

I almost thought the gate was locked.

Don’t they have a gatekeeper?

They do!

Boss mentioned it.

Good for him though!

I would have hurt him or kill him on the spot.

He should be grateful.

I walked towards the front porch with my eyes sticking around.

I confirmed there was no one in sight before sliding my skeleton key into the key lock.

I barged into their bedroom and pointed the pistol to the direction of the bed.

They were sleeping!

The couple I’m here to kill are peacefully asleep.

‘No one wishes to die but she keeps murdering them in cold blood without considering the pain of their family. Loosing a close one can be so painful’ I recalled Darrel’s words and breathed in.

I placed my finger on the trigger and for the first time in years,i hesitated before shooting.

I shot them twice each on their heads.

I didn’t wait any longer,i walked out of their room and headed to the entrance door.

I’m feeling so weak now,i need to leave real fast.

I opened the door and stepped out.

The compound is dead silent, i wonder where the gatekeeper is.

I walked to the gate and opened it.

I was about stepping out when i saw the gatekeeper rushing out of his room.

Ohh..

I stood and waited for him to notice me.

He did! and gasped,he turned about to run but dragged him back and knocked him out.

He sprawled on the floor like one who is affected with a contagious disease.

I shook my head and walked out of the gate wondering why i didn’t feel the urge to kill him.

I got to my car and hop in.

I sighed and twisted the key in the ignition.

I started driving away..

I’m not myself anymore…i know that!

I pulled off my mask and rubbed my face.

I connected the wiretap..

Mission accomplished.

I disconnected it and concentrated on driving.

I’ve never had second thought when I’m about to kill but tonight i couldn’t believe i felt pity for those couple.

I felt pity! For the first time.

I felt pity for the first time in years after my dad turned me into a monster.

Tears filled my eyes as memories came flashing back into my head.

I parked by the road side and placed my head on the steering wheel, letting out my tears.

I cried more as those memories played in front of me like a movie.

°°Don. You’re doing this to your own daughter!°° my mum’s voice sounded in my ears.

°°She’s not my daughter! You b---h!°° My dad said and right there i saw him took a knife and stabbed Mum in the face.

My scream echoed the whole house.

I opened my eyes and realized i was screaming in the car too.

I wiped my tears and turned on the ignition.

I can do anything to just forget this memories.

The pain i feel whenever i remember is almost unbearable.

I sniffed and got back on the road.

Different thought filled my head as i drove into the night.

I slowly opened to the door to my ward and peeped in.

They were still asleep.

I walked in and closed the door behind me.

Im now changed into my normal outfit.

I tip toed to the bed and crawled under the blanket.

I smiled, glad Darrel nor Nath was awake.

I dropped Nath’s face cap beside him before turning to the wall clock.

9:36pm.

Really??

I dropped my gaze on Darrel’s sleeping face and felt my breath caught in my throat.

Can i actually call him sleeping beauty?

My lashes is not even this long and curled.

This is the second time we’ll be sleeping beside each other..

Darrel is so perfect in looks, i don’t get easily moved by guys but he broke that yoke.

I’m attracted to him.

My toes curled as i stared at his lips.

I couldn’t help but smile as i remembered how he kissed me.

So romantic

I know we’re not dating but I’ll allow him kiss me over and over again.

I raised my finger and placed it gently on his lips.

I made it stay for seconds before placing that same finger on my lips.

I grinned and felt like doing it again but he suddenly moved and i shut my eyes instantly.

I balanced my breathing to make it look like I’m sleeping.

I felt his hand smooching my hair and I’m glad the blanket hid my shivery body.

His hand left my hair to my eyes,his finger brushed my lashes and i tried hard to be stable.

His hand moved to my nose and then…my lips.

My body tightened in what seems like excitement,i felt like drawing him close.

Is he aware that I’m awake?

I guess not.

His finger roamed my lips for a while and it felt as though he was kissing me.

I couldn’t control my breathing anymore.

It came out fast but suddenly stopped the moment i felt his lips on mine.

It took all the strength in me not to respond.

He’ll know I’m awake and stop kissing me.

I want him to continue ‘forever’ .

The kiss wasn’t deep but it made my whole body feel alive..

I heard Nath yawned loudly and Darrel quickly stopped the kiss..

“What a gatekeeper!” He murmured and i nearly laughed..

“Is she having a dream? Why’s she smiling in her sleep?” He said quietly.

What!

D--n! Stop smiling Mia!

God,i can’t hold my laughter anymore.

I coughed to cover my laughter and quickly turned to the other side of the bed.

Darrel adjusted the blanket properly on my body.

I opened my eyes and smiled widely.

Nath is sleeping soundly on his bed.

I should give him a hard knock tomorrow for disrupting our sleep.

I quickly closed my eyes when i felt Darrel’s hand smooching my hair again.

You’re so sweet D.

The strong smell of coffee awoke me.

I stretched and yawned before opening my eyes.

It’s morning.

“Hey! You’ve slept enough” Darrel said, appearing in front of me.

I smiled.

“Help me up” I pouted, he smiled and did.

I noticed Nath was not in bed after i sat up.

“Where’s Nath?” I asked.

“He went home to freshen up” He said and i took a good look at him.

He’s clad in fresh clothes and his hair is styled.

Darrel can actually go bald and still be handsome.

“You’ve freshened up?” I asked.

“Yeah”

“So soon” I said.

“I think you need to check the time?” He said and i did.

Woah!

“9am” I said.

“Yep” He said.

“Wow! You should have woken me up” I said.

“I wanted to but you looked kinda tired so doc Mart said to let you be. Your breakfast is here but you’ll have coffee first, freshen up and then have your breakfast” He said.

“Okay” I said.

He handed a cup of creamy coffee to me and i gladly took it .

I took a sip and smiled.

“It’s from the hospital right?”

“Nah, i made it at home. You might not like the hospital coffee” He said and i smiled.

“Thanks” I said.

My cheeks flushed when i remembered what happened yesternight.

I stared at him and he looked so innocent.

Hey!

I know you kissed me okay?

The door opened and doc Mart walked in.

“Good morning” I greeted and he responded.

I dropped my coffee as he was about to test me with his stethoscope.

“Did you probably stressed yourself last night?” He asked.

“Uh..no” I said.

“You sure?” He asked.

“Yeah” I said slowly.

“Well, i thought i could discharge you today but that won’t be possible anymore. Your body is stressed and it needs more medical care. I’ll be back” He said and walked out.

“Did you went to get anything yourself last night? You should have woke me up to get it for you. Why the hell did i slept in the first place” He said.

“I didn’t went to get anything Darrel. I was in bed. It happens that way at times” I said.

“Okay but are you okay? Do you feel pains?” He asked.

“No, com’on” I smiled and picked my cup of coffee.

He watched me gulped down my coffee.

“I brought your clothes too” He said.

“Thanks D.” I said.

“I will go receive some fresh hair while you have your bath” He said.

“Okay”

Darrel

I was returning back to Mia’s ward after spending some minutes outside.

“Hey” A nurse stopped me.

“Hi” I said.
