Goodbye, My Love- Chapter 4

3 days later, Darien sat in his office, staring at the door, but at the same time, not really staring at it, but daydreaming. He was waiting for his client to come in. So far, the client, Mr. Grant, was late. Though, Darien was actually grateful for his lateness. It gave him time to think.

After Darien's encounter with Serena, his days were pretty busy. In the 3 days after it, he had conducted and led 6 surgeries and examined many other cases of disease and injuries. He practically had no spare time in which to find Serena, or even think about his unexpected meeting with his love of life.

Now, replaying the events in his head, he realized that meeting Serena had completed him, in soul and mind, but that completeness had faded away slowly when Serena started to run away from him. When he lost her that night, every part of him felt like they were sucked dry and beaten up into pulp, leaving an empty shell of himself. And, even more, he had suffered from endless arguments with himself, usually about how he shouldn't have left so many years ago.

His heart had been broken, yet again, and Darien marveled at how it was still beating and that his blood still flowed. He realized that he could no longer bear it to stay away from Serena. He now realized that his days were empty without her. He even wondered how he could've of stopped thinking about her.'How had I lived through those 5 years without her? How? Now that I think about it, it seems almost impossible' Darien knew now that he regretted it, leaving her, not going back, hurting her so much, everything he had done. With that in mind, he vowed that he would find her and talk to her…Finally, after all these years, he let his barrier drop and admitted to himself that he really did need her.

Once his busy days were over, he would start his search… for her… He couldn't hide the fact that he was still so much in love with Serena…. Suddenly, a voice broke into his thoughts and he could feel a presence in his office that he hadn't felt a minute ago. He looked up and saw a nurse, looking curiously at him, waiting for a response. Darien groaned when he realized that he hadn't even heard what she had said. He was so deep in his thoughts.

"Could you repeat that, please?

" Mr. Grant is here to see you" the nurse said, still looking curiously at him

Pushing his thoughts to the back of his head, he nodded and said, "Send him in," Darien said. He would think about Serena later. For now, he had to do his job.

*************************************************

Serena was sitting at a table in a corner of the café across the street from Darien's office building. She was hoping to catch a glimpse of Darien when he came out. But so far, she hadn't seen him. Serena lifted up her shirtsleeve a little, and checked her wristwatch. It read 7:00 (P.M). Letting her hand drop back onto the table, she wondered why he wasn't out yet. For the past 3 days, Serena had been monitoring his every action, every move.

She watched from places she knew he never would go. For example, alleyways, dark street corners, etc. But today, she wanted to get a clear view of him and so she decided to stay at the café right across the street. 'Darien would never look this way, and besides he'll never come here after work, right…' Serena was at least 90% sure. Unconsciously, she lifted her drink to her lips and took a sip.

*************************************************

Darien was hungry and exhausted. After a day of patients, he was ready to eat a quick meal and catch some sleep. It was now 9:00 and he finally came out of his office, tired eyes looking down at the floor in front of him. Walking along the empty hallway, he decided to go out the side door and go to the café across the street.

He never went there before in all his yeas working here. 'Funny… how could I have never went there before?' he thought as he crossed the street and walked towards the café. Slowly, he opened the door and was spotted immediately by a waiter. The waiter showed him to a table and he sat down. Then, he ordered a drink and 'some weird-looking food' he never thought of trying before.

The food arrived, and he started digging into it right away. After a few bites, he decided it was actually pretty good, worth eating next time he came here. As he munched on his last few pieces, he looked around for a waiter to receive his check. That was when a glimpse of blonde hair caught his attention, though the person wasn't facing him. Darien was nervous. He tried looking around at her willing her to turn her head a little. 'Can it be her, again? Am I that lucky?' Slowly, he inched towards the blond-haired woman.

*************************************************

Another hour had past and there was still no sign of Darien. Serena was getting worried. She had long since finished her drink and was now just fidgeting with her hands, still staring out the window. With a frustrated sigh, she decided to go check if he was still in his office. Slowly, she started to get up…

*************************************************

Darien noticed the blonde start to get up. He held his breath as the woman turned around and saw…
