Chapter 18 - Chapter 17

Three days later, the Salvien family doctor visited Hyena in her house. "Good day, Miss Hyena. It's nice to see you again. I apologise for coming not so soon." Her doctor greeted her warmly. "It's okay Doctor Caliestre. Come and sit, make yourself at home." She guided him to the couch. "Want some coffee, juice or anything Doctor?" She offered. "Don't bother, sweetie. I'll just do straight to my intention of coming here." He asked for her condition, things she's experiencing and things she's been doing. "I often have headaches, dizziness, blurring of visions and tiredness." She specifically explained.

Doctor Caliestre checked her pulse. He also check her blood pressure. "So far, you're not that good. Your heartbeat is faster than usual and your blood pressure is low." "What does it mean, doc? Do I have any health problem or something?" "Fatigue, you're having a fatigue. Well, good thing you don't have Anemia. I advice you to stay away from stressfull things, eat healthy foods, sleep for 8 to 10 hours if possible, do some warm up or excersice..." He paused. "Drink a lot of water, avoid drinking caffeine and likewise avoid alcoholic drinks." He continued. "That was quite lot, doctor. However, I will do as you say." "Hyena dear, visit my clinic some time so that I can do further check you up and we can make sure you're all fine." He adviced. "Yes doctor, thank you for your time." Hyena thanked him. He shook her hand and walked out of her house smiling.

"Phew! I thought it was already something serious. Thank God, it's just a mere fatigue." Hyena joked around. "Better take care of my health or else I'll be doomed." She goes to the kitchen, searched her fridge for something to eat. "Hm, watermelon. Gosh, how I missed this fruit." She took out a few small slices of watermelon from the fridge, and filled a her with fresh milk. She tried hard not to drink her milk while walking back to the living room, for she ought to drink it while chilling at the living room.

Hyena opened the television to watch some news, when she heard some scratching noises behind the big antique vase. "H-hello is someone there? Don't scare me whoever you are, come out, come out." She clenched her fist tightly feeling a bit scared. "Meow, meow, meow." Meowed a cat, that startled her. "Holy shit! You scared the hell out of me little kitten." She knelt down and patted the cat. This cat is a striped white and black with blue eyes, one. "So cute, where is your owner kitty?" The cat cuddled it in her lap. "Meow, meow." "Not even a collar. Means, you're no one's pet. Should I own you kitty?" "Meow meow." Then cat nodded at her as if it understands her, well. "Then, I'll call you..." She paused and clarrify the cat's gender. "Wait you're a boy? Then, I'll name you as Coby. Do you like your name, Coby?" "Meow, meow, meow." It nodded at her, snuggling comfortably. "Glad you liked it. Come and join me watch some news and drink milk with me, my Coby."

Latterly Hyena willingly chose to buy Coby a collar, kitten bag and stuff. "Coby do you like your new collar? Don't lose it okay? It is a mark that I own you." Hyena tapped the golden-black collar. She even imprinted Coby's name in his collar. "Meow, meow" "You're welcome, my Coby." Hyena placed a long lace in Coby's collar and pulled him by it, wandering around the mall.

On her way home with Coby, Hyena nearly jumped out behind her wheel, when a guy sunddenly crossed the street. Luckily, she hit the brake before she hit him or did she? "Heck, I gotta go check him out. How crazy. Coby, stay here okay. It'll be fast." Hyena released herself from her seatbelt and climbed off her car.

The guy was lying on the street's ground. It is already seven in the evening. There's no busy cars running the way at the time and Hyena has no one to call for a help in case anything bad happen. "Excuse me? Mister, are you alright? Did I hit you hard? Please, answer me, please?" She tapped the guy's back but he didn't move. "Gosh, is he dead? Oh no, I'm not a murderer. God, tell me. I didn't kill him..." "Hush, I'm alright. Stop worrying, okay? I'm sorry for playing dead." The guy sat up and tapped her by the shoulder. "What the heck were you thinking? Were you tying to kill yourself, you lunatic?" Hyena scolded him.

He raised his hands up in the air as if he's surrendering to her. "Oh, easy girl, easy. It was just my trip. You know, a trip to kill time." A hard punch reach his head. "Aw, what was that for, young lady?" "A trip? Do you think crossing the street is just a trip while a car is passing by is a trip? I nearly killed you. What if I was a drunk driver? You wouldn't be alive and kicking now." She screamed out on his face. "But you didn't, instead you're here with me in the middle of the street chatting." He joked. "What a tease. Can you stand up? And why are here in the middle of the way, anyway? Do you have a car or someone with you?" She asked orderly. "I can stand up." Hyena helped him to stand up for she noticed that he's having trouble doing it.

"My girlfriend broke up with me and dropped me off in this area. That is why I am here, trying to kill myself." He emotionally uttered. "Tss, just for a break up you are willing to die?" "Ofcourse not. I was just kidding. I didn't bring my car so I decided to go across the street to wait for a cab, when your car suddenly came from nowhere." He said. "You're such a lunatic. How can you joke around, when you're half way dead a moment ago?" "Oh, come on I didn't die okay? Plus, you are not going to jail." He added. "Fine. Whatever, I don't care. Come inside the car. I'll drop you home." "Which home? Yours or mine?" He asked teasingly. "Do you want to see five rolling stars?" She snapped. "If you're willing to." He snapped back. "Easy, don't punch me. I am just kidding. We're neighbors. My house is just next to yours." He informed.

Hyena startled herself from what she just heard. She started the engine and started driving the car off. "Really? Since when?" She asked. "Since earlier." He said. "Meow, meow, meow." Coby meowed. "Oh, you also have Coby, with you." He uttered. "What? How did you know my cat's name." She surprisingly snapped. "Your cat? Excuse me miss, but this cat is mine. I named him Coby ever since he was born in this world." "No mister, I own him." "Proof?" "The collar" "Gosh miss, look I'll tell you how Coby end up in your house." "How? Don't tell me he came there by his own, then you followed him but when I heard a scratching noise, you just vanished like a bubble? Is that what you are gonna say?" "Exactly, miss. You get it, a piece of cake. How clever you are. "Thank you, but Coby is mine." "Oh, this might be a destiny." What are you trying to say?" "My own cat ran to your house and you claimed him as your own and even named him by his own name. Which, I gave him." "That's crazy. I don't believe in destiny." " Well I do."
