Harvard Medical school
Late in the evening in a laboratory Hiwa just completed her lab experiment. When she looked through the window it's already dark outside.
She stretched her body and collected her bag and left the room. Even though it's being two years since that accident she still not adapted to her prosthetic leg.
On her way to the dormitory she heard someone talking around the corner. As it is dark she can't see them clearly.
When she got close there she saw three boys.But she stopped walking when she heard her name.
"So Hiwa rejected you!!" said a man to the person leaning on his bike.
"Don't talk about that bitch" the man yelled annoyingly.
Hiwa felt goosebumps when she heard that voice. He is the same person who desperately chased after her from three months. She rejected him entire the time.
"I thought you're serious about her" said his friend.
"Haha just messing with her, dude. Do you know what she said when she rejected me?"
"Haa sorry I don't feel anything for you. Please don't waste your time" he imitated her.
" Huh...Did she think someone will truly love her? I thought she was meekly woman so it's easy to get into her pants.
But she got some guts huh...She dare to reject me!!!" he scoffed.
"Huh... feelings?love? At most she becomes a mistress or wife of an old geezer.
It's a pity that she still believes in true love Tch..Tch... We are living in a generation where people discard anything as soon as they got bored playing with."
"That crippled bitch!!!" the man yelled fiercely while kicking his bike.
She stood behind a tree, listening to their conversation sends a shiver down her spine. She closed her mouth tightly to stop her weeping sounds.
She supported her body by leaning on the tree, if they caught her now they will definitely ruin her.
After sometime they left the place.Her legs felt wobbly, she reached her room with quite difficulty.
She sat on her bed and looked at her legs. With shaky hands she touched her prosthetic leg and felt excruciating pain. She don't know whether it is physical or mental.
Throwing herself down on bed she cried her heart out.
" Why God?? Why?? What did I do wrong?? You should have let me die there. why did you took only my leg?? You should take this damn greedy heart tooo" ' A heart that wants someone to love her deeply' yelled Hiwa thrashing her chest harshly.
Sniffles and hiccups filled the room, she slowly drifted into sleep. After that her nightmares gotten worse that she had to use medication. She never said it to anyone and that small wound in her heart turned into a huge tumor.
A phone ringing sound broke her thoughts. Right now she was in her cabin. Though her work shift is over she didn't leave.
She wiped her tear stained face and drank some water. Seeing Ricky's name she answered the call.
"Hello"
"Wahh.... where did you runoff to, took you so long to answer my call?" Ricky scoffed.
"Almost Harvard"said Hiwa in low voice.
"Hehehe Stop joking" he chided her.
"Then where will I be now? I'm at work"she said with deceiving smile.
"I forgot to call you yesterday, Did you reach condo without any trouble right?"
"Yep no trouble !!! "she said while looking at the card between her fingers.
"Oh Maggie didn't give you trouble right?" said Hiwa amusingly.
She knows drunken Maggie will talk non-stop nonsense.
" Trouble?? She literally eat my brains" said Ricky shaking his head.
"Lately she fell in love with someone" chuckled Hiwa.
"What??"
"Yep you heard it right" giggled Hiwa.
"Even my baby girl found someone. when will you and Ellie give retirement to single hood..Huh" rebuked Ricky.
"Why?? Are you envious?" she mocked him.
"Nonsense...why should I? when I have love of my life" said Ricky dreamily.
"Ok enough of this, it's time to knock off my work, so call you later"
"Wait wait...I forgot to tell you, Ellie is coming this tuesday, are you free to pick her up?" asked Ricky.
"At what time?"said Hiwa while picking her car keys.
"Morning flight I think so"
"Ok, I will call her "said Hiwa leaving her cabin.
When she sat on her driver seat, she saw card in her hand. Jacob Anderson and string of numbers in silver are engraved on the card.
"Jacob Anderson" she sighed and tossed it into her bag.
