Chapter 16: 6. Miscarriage
Hana was on the phone. "Keep an eye on him. Report to me if anything seems suscipous." "Yes." Hana ends the call and sighs. She puts her cellphone down on the nightstand and walks out to check on Sora.
Rui then gets out of the wardrobe and heads back to his study room. He sits down and his finger taps on the desk repeatedly. Rui thinks hard of what he has heard, but he couldn't put his mind through it. (Uncle hired someone to kidnap Sora...but why? What is Uncle's intentions?)
Hana opens Sora's bedroom door and sees Sora is fast asleep. She smiles and closed the door. She turns her heels and walk back to her bedroom.
Rui wants to ask Hana about it so he heads back out. They cross each other paths. (Hana: He's still up around this time?) (Rui: Now she's in front of me...what should I say?) They both remain quiet. Hana speaks up, "You're still cannot sleep?" "Eh?" "Want me to read you a book, sing you a lullaby, or hold your hand until you fallen asleep?"
Rui got flustered. Hana sees his expression and laughs. "AHAHAHA! I'm just kidding. No need to be all flustered." Rui was stunned as he sees her laugh so freely. "...You should laugh more often." Hana change her expression back. "Ahem. You have something to say to me?" "..I uh...." Rui is trying hard to find words to say which Hana sees it.
"Let's go to my room to talk." Hana walk pass him and he follows.
[Hana's bedroom]
Rui sits on the chair while she sits on the bed. "Ask me anything. I'll answer it." "...You would?" "Yeah. I'll answer it. Only tonight." "Where's your dad?" Hana was taken back. She didn't think he would ask her about her father.
"Honestly, I don't know. Probably somewhere safe for the time being." "Has he contact you at all?" "Here and there." "....Those years when you left, where have you been?" "...I met with an old classmate, I stayed with her and her uncle." "Who taught you to use weapons?" "Her uncle and his friends."
Rui has a lot but he doesn't know what to ask next. Hana then speaks up, "My turn to ask you." She looks at him. "All this time...why do you hate me?" He looks away. "Many girls approach me because of my reputation and money. I thought you're like them." She nods. "How come you never get close to Sora when he was born? Are you afraid that you might hurt him?"
Rui bit his bottom lip. "....Afraid...? I guess you can say that..at the same time I wanted to protect him but how can I? How can I protect him when I cannot protect her?" Her eyes lowers. "I think being afraid makes you stronger." He turns to her. She continues, "Everyone has their own weakness and strengths. It's okay to be afraid."
Her eyes met his. Rui can hear his heartbeat pounding as he looks at her. (What's wrong with me?) "Last question. You can marry any woman in the world but why did you choose to marry me?" Rui speaks without thinking, "Because I love you."
The atmosphere between them got too quiet. (Rui: What did I just say?) Rui waits for her to say something. Hana immediately gets up and walks to him. (Rui:W-w-what?) She reaches out and touch his forehead. She mumbles, "...He doesn't seem to have a fever..." He heard it and grabs her hand before she pulls her hand away.
He holds her hand very tightly. "Rui." "Hana. I did mistreat you. Misjudge you. I even push you away from us..but right now, I want to make it right. I really do--" She covers his mouth with her other hand and cuts in. "Don't." He was taken back. She pulls her hands away from him.
She looks away. "Even though...we're married...I cannot seem to love you..." She looks at him. "You're always will be Allie's forever." She walks out of the room and heads to the green house where Allie and her build together. A portrait of her and Allie were on the glass. Hana reaches out and touch Allie's portrait.
<Allie. For the sins I commit...please don't forgive me. I will take any punishment you have for me.> Tears slide down on both of her cheeks. She crouches down and cry silently. (I'm sorry, Allie.)
Few months later, Rui and Hana has decided their wedding date. Hana went with the head maid to try on her wedding dress. Somehow Hana wasn't really into the dresses. "My Lady. Are you alright?" Hana slightly smiles. "I'm sorry. I'm just not too fond of the dresses." "No pressure. Take your time."
Hana sighs. She looks through the dresses one more time. She turns to the employee. "I just want the dress that doesn't reveal my back, a simple and solid pattern, the length about up to the knee." She turns to other employees and nods to them. The employees then comes in and removes other dresses that doesn't match her description.
The remaining stays in rack in the middle of the room. She walks over and decided to try on every single one of them. every employees comes in and removes other dress. She was having a hard time deciding which one the is the best.
Every single dress, she takes a picture and send it to Zamir. She then waits for his reply.
...
Ding. Zamir reaches to his phone and his eyes widen as soon as he sees the photos. He smiles.
Hana: I'm having a hard time. Which dress do you think is the best? I cannot decided. T_T
He went over every photos and came across one which he thinks she looks more beautiful. He then replies.
Zamir: Lol. You look beautiful in all of them. I like the second one to the last. Not too much, Not too little. Not too plain. It's just right.
Ding. Hana receives his text. She quickly read his reply. She smiles at his text and reply back.
Hana: I think so too. Thank you. ^.^
Zamir smiles at her response. He then scroll back up and save all of the photos that she sent onto his cellphone. He then sent her a message.
Zamir: If you have any troubles, let me know. I'll lend a hand.
Hana respond right back with a thank you. She then removes the dress and change back into her clothes. She told the employee which dress she choose to wear for her wedding dress. The employee bows. Hana and the headmaid walks out of the bridal store.
They cross the street but Hana notices a car coming towards them. She then push the head maid out of the way. Hana got hit by the car. The head maid sees it all and run towards Hana. "Hana! Hana!" Hana slowly lose her consciousness.
...
Rui accidentally nudge his coffee. The cup shattered on the floor. (Shit.) The secretary then comes and help to clean it up. Rui somehow got a bad feeling.
In the other hand, Zamir receives a phone call from a friend who's a doctor. "Zamir." "Dee. What's up?" "...It's about your woman." "What do you mean?" "...I saw them bringing her in. She's badly injured." "I will be there." Zamir ends the call and heads out of his office. "Uncle."
Zamir comes across Cindy. He then grabs her arm. "Let's go." "Where?" "Hospital." "What for?" "Hana's injured." Cindy was shocked.
As soon as they got into the hospital, they waited and waited. Soon the doctor exit out of the ER. Zamir asks, "How is she, doctor?" "She's fine but..." Cindy cuts in. "But what, doctor?" "Her child didn't make it." Cindy and Zamir was shocked. (She was pregnant?!!)
The doctor excuse himself since he has other patients to tend to. They both step aside.
...
A few hours later, Hana woken up. She sees Cindy. "...Cindy?" Cindy gets up and hugs her. "Thank goodness you're alright." Hana then sees Cindy making a weird expression. "What is it?" She then sees Zamir behind Cindy. Zamir then asks, "When did you sleep with him?" "....Ah...that..." Hana leans against the pillows.
"Sora drugged me and his father." Cindy was shocked. "That little devil." "It's just to prevent his father to married an evil woman. That's all." Cindy then asks, "Do you--" "No." Hana looks at Cindy. "I do not have any feelings towards him. My father is my top priority. Nothing else matters." Zamir nods and said in a low voice, "You just had a miscarriage." Hana was shocked. "I...was pregnant?"
Cindy said, "We both were shocked by the news too." Hana looks at Zamir. "Where's the head maid? Is she alright?" "Just a few cuts." She nods and was about to say something but he cuts her off. "I know. Let me handle it." "Mm. I'm fine. He will be here soon, so stay out of trouble."
Zamir and Cindy nods and left the room. Cindy notices her uncle has a serious face. "Uncle." Zamir turns to Cindy. "Don't hurt him. The little boy that is." "I know. If I did, Hana will hate me. That boy is one of her friend's son." "Mm." They both and talked to the doctor and other nurses about keeping Hana's miscarriage a secret.
