Carah was early in leaving for the office, she planned on checking on Shiela before she will be discharged. She pushed the button on the elevator that will lead her to the floor where Shiela is confine, as the door slides to close before lifting two men hurriedly beat the door before closing and stand in front of her.
"Are you sure that he's still here?" one of the man asked the other, they look like gangsters that disguised as law abiding citizens, trying to move as smoothly but their action betrays them even the way they talk.
"Better be or else..." The other replied but slides a glance at Carah as if telling his companion to be careful since there is someone who may be listening.
Carah ignored them, by checking on her phone, but she already made a mental picture of their appearance and stayed quiet.
As the door opened on her floor the two men went out first. "Oh! what a coincidence this floor is for women's ward, they probably visiting a relative, but she heard that they were looking for a man." She thought to herself as she follows them behind keeping a distance, but she can hear their discussion since the hall is empty at this hour, as they check at the room numbers they passed. She get this more uneasy feeling as if there is something bound to happen. As they stop in the room where Sheila is confined her heart is pounding erratically. " Could it be? Oh my God,,,Sheila."
She immediately called the man whom she assigned to look after her friend and alerted him as she followed the two men who entered the room conspicuously, carefully and slowly.
The room was shared with another patients there were three beds occupying the room and at this moment the one in the middle is empty having Shiela's co-patient at a distance about five meters divided by a series of drapes.
A commotion was heard coming from the room when she opened it. As she enters she saw the two men wrestling with Hugo while Sheila was deeply sleeping peacefully unaware of what is happening in the room.
"What is the meaning of this." the two men raise their head and Hugo took advantage of the sudden distraction As he land a kick to one of the goons, causing him to crash on the side table and waking Sheila from her deep slumber.
"What,,,! Oh my God! " she abruptly. sit up and hazily observed what is taking place inside the room. when she saw Carah she push the emergency button to call the doctor.
The two men tried to get away but the hospital staff and Carah's friend blocked the doorway. They were seized by the hospital staff and called the police while Hugo was also detained for questioning.
"What is happening here?" The police ask and Carah was also invited to give her statement. She promised to dropped by after she finish with the paperwork for Sheila's discharge.
"What do you mean Sheila, that you will not press charges with what happened are you out of your mind?" After the commotion settled down Carah arranged for Sheila's discharge from the hospital. She took the opportunity to ask her of her plans after the release, but was shocked when she learned of her decision.
"Carah you don't understand, these things happened because... You see I'm not totally innocent,,, I mean I unaware force him to be in this situation."
"What do you mean?"
"I committed some grave sins in our relationship. Carah , Hugo was not like this when we started way back then. He... seem to developed into this because of me." She breathe a sigh before she continued. " He was such a loveable person so responsible, so reliable and thoughtful among other things."
"What happened?" She whispered as she is confused, could it be that she made a mistake in judging the man?
