Tears filled my eyes, it was my son. I never thought I would be able to meet my son. I was so thankful to God today.
I looked at him with a bit of frowned eyebrows and eyes filled with tears and love for my son whom I left twenty years ago. Before I could even open my mouth, he said,
'I'm in a great hurry, please excuse.' His blank expressions made me wonder whether he recognized me or not.
I stepped aside and he went out towards the lift. I just looked at him with my teary eyes while he walked far away from me. I can't believe my son has grown up into a young man.
I wondered standing there, is he even now the same child which used to get scared of thundering? Is he...even now the same child which used to be happy when he used to see his mom? In all these twenty years did he changed a lot? In all these years did he really started hating me?
A tear rolled down my cheek while I was still staring at the empty corridor, my thoughts shattered when Hannah patted my shoulder lightly. I quickly wiped the tear which was still finding its destiny and turned around to greet her with a smile.
'You're okay Merylin?' She asked me as soon as I turned around.
I nodded as a response and smiled lightly.
'Let's go inside then.' Hannah said further and opened the door if Sarah's room...

Who was that woman? I thought. Though I tried to shake off her thought from my mind but still every now and then I used to find myself thinking about that old woman.
Was she crying after seeing me there? If she was then why? The thoughts we're blasting my mind. So, I again took the pills which my mom had given to me. It used to make me quite relieved for a while. I take these pills with me everywhere. But, still, my mind kept her remember, and whenever I used to close my eyes or try to think something else her eyes full of tears used to flash in front of me. It felt like I've seen her before those teary eyes, I've seen those eyes before. But where? I wasn't able to remember. It was bugging me a lot.
I was sitting in my cabin my eyes were red and everyone who saw me asked me to reason. I myself wasn't aware of the reason. It somehow got red. Finally, I concentrated on my work.
After a while my phone rung, it was from dad. I don't understand that, why can't he just mind his own business. I received the call.
'What is it now, dad?' I asked in a cold voice.
'After two days there's the funeral of Merylin. Will you....come?' He asked being a bit hesitant.
'I'll try.' I replied
'Okay.' He said and ended the phone call.
I forgot it was my mom's funeral. That mother who left me twenty years ago. That lady who never loved. That lady whom I hate the most. But I had to go, cause mom has requested me to do it and I can't deny her request.
Thinking all this suddenly my mind again reminded me of that old lady from the hospital.
Who is she? She was like an unknown guest...
I thought...

'Why do you want to be his doctor. I'll suggest you take the less violent patient here. You're a newbie you won't be able to handle him.' I advise her in a warm way as she said that she wanted to have Leo as her patient.
'He is not violent Dr. Ray.' She said in a cold way.
Was she out of her mind? I thought. The one who made Anna suffer. The one who almost sliced Lisa's throat and the one who almost choked her is NOT violent. What was she saying?
'I guess you still haven't recovered yet. Go get some rest nurse..' I said and looked around for the nurse.
'I'm absolutely fine, doctor.' She said.
Just then the nurse approached her and she sets her hand fee from the nurse and says,
'I'm fine and he is the one I want as my patient. That's my final decision!' She said all in one breath.
And again the whole corridor looked at her and me consecutively with widened eyes and gasped mouth. I was quite impressed by Caroline. I mean I have met her several times whenever Luna and I used to visit Sarah's house. But this time she was something unique, I liked her attitude much so I just nodded and said,
'Do as you wish.' I said in a normal voice but everyone got more scared don't know why.
*****
He agreed with me and left the corridor. Everyone looked at him as he went towards his cabin. There was a deep silence in the atmosphere.
Did I make him angry? I shouldn't have said it. Why am I so crazy? Will he never talk to me now? I thought and ran towards his cabin...

Lisa went to Sarah.
'Hey! you weirdo. You're okay now?' Lisa asked with a bright smile Sarah as soon as she opened the door of Sarah's room.
'Lisa! You've come!' Said Sarah and her eyes got filled with tears.
Lisa sat beside her and hugged her tightly.
'So, being emotional again?!' Said Lisa and sniffed her nose and they both laughed.
'What should I do I can't avoid drama when I'm around you.' Sarah replied and they both scoffed.
'But....its good to see you. Back again...talking and laughing with me.' Lisa said and looked at her hands.
'I never thought I could have made it up to here.' Sarah replied and they both looked at each other.
'It was like a terrible nightmare to see you laying on a bed, lifeless.' Said, Lisa.
'I'm sorry.' Sarah said and they both hugged each other again.

'He's Niall Carter future C.E.O. of The Ambition.' Whispered Lisa to Sarah.
They are right now standing in a disco where the music has stopped as soon as two handsome hunks have arrived at the party, without any their partners. All the girls are going crazy cause they know who they are. Niall Carter and his only trusted person and best friend Jeremy Miller. Both wearing denim jackets black and dark blue are standing inside just at the front of the door facing the whole crowd. The spotlights are on them now and so the stares of girls.
Sarah looked at them, they looked like Playboys to her. She felt disgusted by seeing them.
'Isn't he handsome?' Lisa again whispered about Niall to Sarah.
'Shut up!!' Sarah said and rolled her eyes.
She then scoffed and said
'Handsome!' In an irritating way.
Deep inside Sarah admitted that Niall was handsome but she hated the fact that he was not a nice gut of heart.
After this sudden surprise, the whole party resumed and everyone started dancing...
After a while,
Lisa was still dancing while Sarah sat on a couch in the corner. She wasn't feeling much good now. She wanted to go home but Lisa asked her to stay for one hour more.
She sat there not drinking much and then she saw a guy approaching her. When he came a bit closer she realized who it was. It was Niall.
Why was this unknown guest approaching me?...
