Zaria's POV,
'Ohhh...God. I can't believe anything. How could my bruises and my pain fade away? Ahhhh... I am confused as hell.' I mumbled.
I stood and kept the glass on the nightstand and went back to the bathroom to check if I were in a dream.
Then, I opened the door for the bathroom and looked at the massive mirror again. But still, there are no bruises anywhere around.
'How could this be possible, all of a sudden?' I muttered looking my reflection on the mirror.
'I look more beautiful than before, I think. But.....Ahh....let me ask my dad.' I thought to myself.
Quickly I left the bathroom and closed it behind and got near the bedroom door. I opened the door and went downstairs to enquire about this which is strange.
When I went downstairs, there is no one in the living room. Then, I went to the kitchen to find him but in vain, there's no one out there. Then, I decided to call out for him,
"Dad, are you there in the home?" I yelled but no response.
Then, I thought that he would be asleep. I quickly went upstairs and headed towards his room but it's fall open already. I then, went inside to look for him but no is there on the bed. I checked the bathroom whether he is in there and it's locked outside. I got confused and headed back out of his room towards downstairs.
I walked with a blank face along the living room towards the kitchen to make my coffee. I heated the coffee pot and poured my coffee in my mug. I took the mug in my hand and placed it on the dining table. Then, I reached for the kitchen again to get myself some snack as I am hungry.
I opened the above closet in the kitchen to get me a pack of potato chips which is my favourite. I held it on one hand and placed the pack on the counter. Then I got a bowl for the chips and I tore it open to put some on the bowl.
I took the chips pack to fold it and placed it back on the closet. Then, I took the bowl and went to the dining table.
When I came there, my dad was already drinking the coffee that I placed on the table to get my snacks.
"Seriously, dad?" I yelled at him.
"HAHAHA... I am sorry, Angel." My father replied to me with a laugh. I just glared that man.
"Where you been?" I asked him with both hands on my hip. He looked at me and drank the last drop of coffee from the mug.
"Uhhh...I had some important work, yesterday. So I stayed there." He said with a giggle.
"You didn't tell me?" I huffed.
"HAHAHA... Don't get angry, my dear Angel." He chuckled.
"Is that so?" I hissed.
"Okay, Sweetiee. Don't get mad at me. I will do your coffee. Is that okay with you?" He said with a wide smile.
"No thanks. I will." I replied to him and turned my heels and went towards the kitchen to do my coffee which my father had already drunk.
"Sweetiee, I will go get change and come." My father yelled from the dining table.
"Yeah, dad." I replied to him quickly and waited for my coffee to get ready.
When my coffee is ready, I took a mug from the closet and placed it next to the coffee pot. I opened the coffee pot and poured it onto the mug. I took the coffee mug and headed towards the dining table and place it near the chips bowl. I took a seat at the corner of the table where the mug and the bowl were placed.
I grabbed the coffee mug and took a sip. It's too hot to take the liquid inside my throat. So, I placed back the mug on the table and got the chips bowl and started to munch it.
After a few seconds, my father came towards the table and took a seat opposite to me. I passed the chips bowl towards him and he got some from the bowl and placed it on the table. I grabbed my coffee mug and took a sip.
"It's perfect, now." I muttered which grabbed the attention of my father who started to read the newspaper beside him.
I was about to complete my coffee, but my father asked something,
"Angel, did you meet him?" He asked me looking at the newspaper which made me spit the last bit of coffee back in the mug and looked at him.
"Ahhh... " I didn't say anything and looked at him blankly. As it remains me every single thing with Alfred. His beautiful gaze towards me and his gentle touch on me which made me smile a lightly at the thought of him.
"I think your meeting went good?" My father asked looking at my smile. I got shocked at the mention of the meeting with that jerk.
"No." I hissed.
"Is that, not went well?" My father asked me placing the newspaper aside on the table.
"He is a complete jerk." I huffed and looked away from my father and starring at the window behind my father.
"What happened?" He asked me quickly.
"He... is a complete jerk, dad." I replied looking at him.
"No, sweetie. He is not." My father defended him which made me angry and stood from the table and headed towards the living room and took a seat on the couch.
My father followed me to the living room and sat next to me on the couch. I starred at the decoration above the Television with a blank face.
"Ahh... Please sweetie." My father pleaded but I didn't look him back or responded to him.
"Okay, I will say one thing. will you hear me?" My father finally asked me after a couple of minutes of silence. I didn't respond to him but still staring at the decoration with an intense glare.
"I think, he would have said something wrong, but he still really good for you. He is just not interested in the marriage and that's it. Nothing more than that." My father said without a gap to breath. Then, I looked at him with disbelief.
"Are you serious, dad?" I huffed.
"But....." My father began something to say but I cut him off.
"Dad, I am not gonna marry him." I chuckled and stood to leave my room.
"You are gonna marry him, Angel. No matter what?" My father yelled when I reached the steps and stood for a second, then I went upstairs.
I went inside the room and locked it behind and sat on the corner of the bed. I let out a sigh and reached for the nightstand to have a glass of water. I drank it hurriedly and looked at the clock to check the time. It's been past 7:45 am.
'Oh my God! I am running late." I mumbled and went to the bathroom and took a quick shower.
I covered myself with a towel inside the bathroom and came out. I reached for the closet to grab my clothes and quickly dressed. I have done my makeup and looked at the time and it's been exactly 8:15 am.
I grabbed my belongings and went out of the room towards the downstairs. When I came down, "Have some breakfast and go." My father yelled from the kitchen.
"No need. I am out of time. Bye, dad." I yelled back and put on my shoes to head outside. I closed the door and got in a cart. I reached at the hospital exactly at 8:30 am which is my duty time.
I got inside the hospital and headed towards my room. While I was in a hurry, I met, Eva.
"Good morning, Doctor." Eva said walking towards me.
"Good morning, Eva." I replied to her and quickly opened the door of my room and went inside followed by Eva.
"How is your pain, Doctor?" Eva asked me while I am placing my stuff on the table.
"I am perfectly fine, Eva." I replied to her in a hurry that I have an operation today.
"Doctor, don't hurry up. I have informed the head that you would not be able to attend the operation, today." Eva said to her hurriedly.
"Ohhh, God. Thank you, Eva." I said looking at her and let out a sigh.
"Always welcome, Doctor." Eva replied to me with a wide smile.
"You are the best." I complimented her and took a seat on my chair and leaned back in relief.
"Thank you, Doctor." She replied to me, giggling.
"Do you have any work?" I asked her.
"Ahhh... I think... No, Doctor." Eva replied to me confusingly.
"Alright then, have a seat, Eva." I said to her gesturing the seat opposite to me.
She quickly nodded in response and took a seat on one of the seats.
"That's good." I said looking at her quick response.
"Have you eaten anything, Doctor?" Eva asked me knowing that I was in a hurry when I reached the hospital.
"Not really and you?" I asked her.
"No, Doctor. Let's have something then." Eva said with excitement.
"Okay then, let's go." I said to her and stood from the seat to leave with her.
"No, Doctor. You are not going anywhere. Just have a rest, I will bring you food." Eva said with a smile.
"But..." I chuckled.
"No means No, Doctor." Eva said and left the room leaving me alone in my room.
When she left the room, she closed the door and went to get food. I laid back on my seat and stretched my legs in relaxation. Then, I closed my eyes.
All of a sudden, the door clicks open. When I opened my eyes, I was shocked...
