Chapter 60 - Monday, a brand new day

My weekend was a refreshing break and it gave me a hype to start my work with positive vibes. I entered the office building with a smile, greeted the guards on duty and waved to the ground floor receptionists. I entered the lift, I enthusiastically greeted with a smile the people on it. There were 10-12 on it. They all smiled back and greeted me happily. Knowing that I am the lady boss, they bow as a sign of respect. I want to make them feel that just like them, I also am an employee, so I imitated their gestures and we all laugh as if it was a big joke. As the elevator comes to a stop on the 6th floor, those who were bound to this floor, including me, rushed out of the lift. What a beautiful morning. Never did I imagine that something is to happen.

About 10:00 in the morning, an unknown number called me up. It was a female voice informing me that my mother was rushed to the hospital because she met a car accident while going to a market. The market was actually in a nearby mall located at the ground floor. The caller mentioned the name of the hospital. Her voice was shaky and told me that mom is in a critical situation so I must hurry before it's too late. I hurriedly picked up my bag and went out without even informing dad of what happened. I started the car and never bother to think that I was already over speeding but I don't care, what matters at this very moment is to arrive in the hospital where my mom was brought soonest possible.

As I entered the hospital, I directly went to the emergency ward. As a nurse I know my mom would be there. I asked the receiving nurse if there was an admission of a car accident victim a few minutes ago. She immediately said "no". I mentioned the name of mom hoping the nurse could lead me to her. She immediately scanned the list of admission but then again she said there was no such name on the list. I remember to call the number that previously informed me of the accident. She picked up the call and told me that my mom is already in a safe condition. It's now peacefully sleeping in a private room located at the 4th floor of the hospital's main building. I immediately went out, almost run towards the left wing knowing that the door going to the private rooms of the hospital is located at the left side of the emergency room. Room 402. I kept repeating to my mind. Then I remember calling dad to inform him of what happened to mom. He also went immediately to the hospital but along the way, dad remember calling mom on her phone. The first attempt was not answered. He was so nervous, he tried calling her again and mom answered on the third ring. She just finished taking her shower and did not hear her phone ringing that is why it took her long to receive the call.My father immediately sensed that something is odd. My mom is in our home, never went out to the market or elsewhere. Mother was not informed that I might be in danger, father kept it to himself so that my mom would not worry.

Father tried calling Mia but her phone was already dead. He called the police and told them to come immediately to room 402 of the hospital for an emergency. Because her father is quite popular in the locality, police immediately came as instructed.
