"What?!" I almost screamed when I received a call from Suleiman. I grabbed my black Chanel shopping tote on my desk and rushed down through the staircase.
Waiza quickly walked towards me. "Get the car. We're going to Concord International Hospital."
"Ulfah, I'm going off now. Any urgent matters just drop me a text." I walked out as Waiza led the way to my car and opened the car door for me.

"What is going on, Suleiman?" I asked with a straight face while looking at Nurhan on his hospital bed sleeping.
Suleiman knelt down before me beside Nurhan's bed.
"Ma'am, there is something you should know about sir. It's about his health," Suleiman's mouth was dry.
I let out an audible sigh. "Let's talk outside."
Hearing those words from Suleiman made me anxious. I dragged my black Valentino Garavani Rockstud Ankle Strap heels out from Nurhan's room and leaned my back against the white wall in despair.
Suleiman followed me from behind with his head looking down. He looked dejected.
"Ma'am.. To be honest, sir has stage 3 lung cancer."
"Can-cancer?" My eyes were clouding over.
Suleiman nodded with his sagged shoulders. "There's a tumour more than 6cm in his lungs, metastases in the lymph nodes."
My chest heaved and fell with each breath I took. "Why didn't he go for his treatment?" I sobbed.
"Sir is very stubborn. At that point of time, he felt like he had no reason to live. He doesn't have a family and he hasn't met you."
I smiled bleakly, but uttered not a word. I was devastated.
