Zel ran into the
hospital room. This feels like a déjà vu all over again.
"Mom, Dad,
Filia! How is Amelia?"
Filia put a
finger to her lip. "Shhhh. She's sleeping."
Zel took a seat
by the bed. "What did they say her condition was?"
"My baby got
broken ribs and all, but that's all! She's a strong one! Where there is justice,
she will survive!" boomed Mayor Philonel.
Zel just nodded
toward the big burly man. "I see. I'm glad she's ok."
"Ohhh," Amelia
moaned in pain. She opened her eyes. "Abba (1)…what happened?"
"Car crash
honey, but you are fine!"
"I see." She
looked around the room and saw Zel, the man she loved and the man she will get
married too. She smiled. "Hi Zel Oppa (2)."
Zel winced
inward. No one but Lina and Filia should call me that…But I prefer only Lina
to call me that.
"Hi. You feel
ok?" asked Zel politely, but still somewhat coolly.
Amelia pretended
to not notice that. "I'm fine. I'm sorry that we couldn't do the dinner party
thing to plan our engagement."
Actually Zel was
quite relieved that they didn't have to plan it yet. "It's ok. We got time."
Zel's mom turned
to look at the mayor. "So when should we meet again to plan?"
"Hm…" Philonel
tapped his chin. "How about 2 months from now, so my Amelia can rest and be all
well!"
"Abba? That
long? I can get well fast!" Amelia complained.
"Honey, but you
need to get better and I think 2 months is reasonable."
Amelia sighed.
"I suppose."
Zel's parents
nodded with agreement. "That sounds reasonable enough. We'll leave now. See you
again soon." Zel and his parents left the room. Zel glanced at his watch, which
read 5:30 pm. Maybe I can contact that girl…
"What an awful
thing to happen to such a nice girl like her," said Zel's mom dramatically.
"Yes. It is."
Zel's dad nodded with agreement.
"Mom? Dad? I'll
be going now."
"Zel, are you
sure you want to live in your own apartment? You could live with us you know.
You are always welcome." Said the mom.
"Mom. It's ok. I
got myself a good job. I'm 24 now. I'm old enough to live on my own now."
"Ok son.
Whatever you want."
"Well call me if
you need anything mom. Bye." Zel gave his mom a hug and nodded toward his dad
and left.
~*~*~*~
Zel went to his
big ass apartment in GangNam (3), and slumped down on his bed.
Zel sighed and
looked at his cell phone. I better call that girl. He paged her and 30 minutes
later got her call.
"Hello? I'm so
sorry about today. You see a friend of mine got in a car accident and I had to
go see if she was alright. I do apologize. Shall we try to meet tomorrow?"
"Couldn't you
have called at least?" asked Lina coldly.
"I'm sorry. I
got the call all of the sudden and it sort of shocked me. I'm so sorry."
Lina sighed. That's
my brother. Too polite and sweet to stay mad with that long. "Fine.
Tomorrow at noon?"
"Ok. I'll be
there this time."
"Bye." Lina hung
up.
Zel put down his
cell phone and took out a faded photograph. It was a picture of him and Lina 10
and half years ago. He looked at the cute red-haired girl and just stared at
her. He suddenly got out up and went to a room which he calls it his art
studio. He took out his sketchbook and started to sketch Lina…
~*~*~*~
Lina called
Xelloss' cellphone. "Hey Xelloss. I'm meeting that friend again. I'll bring him
up to your room at about 12:30 ok?"
"Sure Lina.
Thanks."
"Well see ya."
Lina hung up and just stared at the picture in her hand. It was the same
picture Zel had. Geez…Zel I wonder if you got any handsomer? Lina
grinned at the thought. Hope you recognize me. I know I'll recognize you
anywhere.
~*~*~*~
Lina waited in
the lobby patiently. She looked at her watch for the 100th time
today. It read 11:59.
"He should be
here any seconds now." Lina muttered.
As she said
that, a handsome man wearing black slacks, and a white shirt came in. He had a
slender build. He had light blue, and had this aura around him that told anyone
that he was a friendly person.
Lina stared. Wow…he
really did get more handsome since last time!
Zel looked
around for the girl. However he saw a petite girl with red hair coming toward. Wait
a sec…red hair?? He stared at Lina's fiery red hair that could be seen from
miles away. It can't be…the girl was Lina all along???
Lina smiled at
her former awestrucked brother. "Hi Zel Oppa. Long time no see!"
