Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Trying to Avoid You!

The next morning, I wake up early and ready to go to the hospital. Before that, I called Lily to inform her that I will take my leave for several days.

''Hello, Lilly?''

''Hello, Jessa. Whats up?''

''I might take several days on leave because my sister was hospitalized.''

''What happened to her? Did she okay?'' Lily a little worried.

''Yeah, she okay right now. She has an appendix and already does the operation yesterday night.''

''I see, I hope she getting well. Send her regards from me.''

''Alright, I will. I need you to cover my works. Sorry, Lily.''

''Nevermind, I help you. Just take care of your sister.''

''Okay, thank you, friend. See you later. Bye!''

''Bye!''

After done calling with Lily, I am ready to go out and going to the hospital. I take a grab car and go straight to there as soon as possible.

''Good morning sister! How you feel today?''

''Morning Jessa. I feel a little better.''

''Glad to hear that. Can you move around?''

''I can...just I feel a little pain in my stomach. Maybe it because of the wound stitches.''

''I see, so you just move slowly okay. Have you had breakfast? I have cook porridge for you.''

''I ate earlier, and someone visited me just now.''

''Who that visiting you early in the morning?''

''Just guess who?'' Victoria gives her a wicked smile.

''Who??'' I look at her curiously.

''Your boss! Mr.Emmanuel.''

''What? Are you serious?'' I suddenly feel nervous about that.

''He had his treatment today. And he told me that he already know about me yesterday and he just comes here to look at me.''

''Oh...I see...''

''Ha! Is there something that happens to you two? Did you two dating?'' Victoria teases her and gives a burst of laughter.

''Sister! Please don't talk nonsense okay. He just my boss. Nothing happened to us.''

''Oh, really? Why he looks nice to you? He even comes and visits me here.''

''I don't know. Maybe...maybe he just a nice person!''

''Haha...you look shy to said about him.''

''Sister, I think you need to rest here first. I go to find a doctor to ask about your condition.''

''You try to change the topic right?'' Victoria just laughter to tease her sister.

I just give a glare to my sister and get out from there. I walk out from there and going to find a nurse. After finished talking with the nurse, I go back to my sister.

Before that, I decided to go to the cafe to have my breakfast first. I walk there and as soon as I reached there, I saw several doctors, nurses, and other people were having their breakfast there too.

Wow, it feels good also to have breakfast here. I can see many handsome doctors here. It feels like heaven to have an everyday breakfast here. I was smiling by myself there. While I'm trying to find a place to sit down, suddenly I saw Emmanuel and Ariel were having their breakfast with their other friends too. I quickly want to go out from there but failed!

''Jordyn! Jordyn! Come here!'' Ariel shouted. Emmanuel was still stayed and just calmly looking at her.

I stop my walk step and had to turn myself to them. I awkwardly walking to them and slowly moving toward them. I decided this morning that I will avoid him if I see him, but this time...! I don't know what to do. Jessa! Just smile and be like nothing was happen yesterday!

''Err...Hi!''

''Jordyn Jessa? Is that you?? Wow, you look so beautiful now...but still shorter as before.'' They said to me and like before, they always teasing about my height. But, I am already used to it. They really didn't change.

''Yeah, you right. It's glad to see you again, Jordyn!''

Actually, there were several people I know because there are some people in the same high school as me. I just give them my smile.

''Come here, sit here,'' Ariel said to me while giving me a seat beside Emmanuel.

''Huh?'' I feel a little afraid to the seat beside him. His face just cold when he looks at me.

''If you want, you can take a seat beside me here, Jordyn.'' Suddenly, a guy name Maxwell said to me.

I was clueless at that time and I take a glance at Emmanuel. He was giving his tense look at me. I suddenly feel terrified by his look and quickly give my answer.

''Umm...I just sit here.'' Finally, I take my seat beside him. I can only trust him at this time.

Ariel just smiling to see Jordyn and Emmanuel. He knows they really still in love with each other. It just some secret that makes them far from each other.

''Actually, Jordyn was Emmanuel's employee. He is her boss'' Ariel said to them.

''Oh...I see.''

''Wow! That really interesting!''

''This is really fate between both of you!''

I was speechless about what they are saying like that. I just stay silent and give a smile. Then, suddenly Max asks me a shocking question.

''Jordyn, are you single? I mean, did you have a boyfriend yet?''

''Wuu... Max tries to make his step!'' A woman said to teases him.

''We also curious to Jordyn. We haven't heard from you in a long time.''

I was bemused at that time and didn't know how to replied them. I take a glimpse at Emmanuel but he just stays silent and didn't even look at me. I look at Ariel and he also makes questions face.

Actually, without I realized, my hand slowly pulled a little the sleeve of Emmanuel's shirt under the table. I really need his help at this time. Emmanuel noticed that and he smirked.

''I think...if you all really curious about that, all of you need to face Simon first.'' Emmanuel said to them coldly.

The other was silent after hearing that and the only one who is more curious is Maxwell. The only one didn't know the real happened about Simon.

At the same time, I was also surprised to hear him said like that too. So, that means...? He also knows about Simon! He must know what happened to us. But, he didn't even tell me about it.

''Simon? Who is he?'' Max asks.

''If you want to know about him, you can talk to me later,'' Emmanuel said to him fiercely. Both of them look like they want to fight. Their look at each other was really different. Ariel noticed both of them.

''Oh, I think our time is up. Let go continue our works.'' Ariel said.

''Yeah, you right. Let us go.''

''Okay, come! Bye Jordyn...It's nice to meet you again!''

''Okay, bye!'' I give a hand wave to all of them.

''Max, come...our professor wants to meet us later,'' Ariel said. He had to take Max out from there as possible before they going to start the fight. He noticed that both of them have intense looks.

''Okay, I'm coming. Jordyn, hope we meet again later.'' Max said to Jordyn.

''Huh? Oh...okay.'' I give a smile to him. I can feel that he try to flirt with me. But, I just ignore him.

Now, it's only me and him at that table. I feel a little awkward, shy, and for the real...I didn't know how to face him.

''Err...thank you for earlier.''

''It's okay. Just eat your food.''

''Oh, okay.'' I slowly eat my food. While eating, I take a glimpse at him.

''Just eat your food, no need to look at me like that.''

I was choking by hearing him said like that. ''I'm not!''

''Oh, really? Just drink this.''

After done eating, I quickly want to go out from there.

''Err...I have to go first.''

''Jessa, wait!'' He suddenly pulls my hand and brings me to a proper place to talk about. I was thinking about what he wants to do.

After a minute, we reached the playground outside of the hospital.

''What is that?''

''I need to make something for us.''

''What you mean by that?''

''I want to pursue you!''

''What?? Look, I think you have misunderstood what I say last night. I want to say that I miss...''

''I don't care. I know who was you really mean. I dont mind about that.''

''Emmanuel...please...don't be like this.''

''I will make you forget about him and be my girl.''

''I'm sorry, but I don't have that feeling for you.''

''I promise that one day...you will come to me and forget about him.''

I just stand there and looking at him with my deep breath. I don't know how to respond to him. I was just confused with my own heart. I don't know what my heart really wants. Should I just move on about Simon? Can I open my heart to Emmanuel? Can I just let him knock of my heart?

I slowly take my breath and said to him. ''I'm sorry...I still can't open up my heart to anyone.'' After said that, I walk out of there and left him alone there.

''Jessa...did you really can't forget about me? I'm really sorry because I hide my real identities from you. I had to do this because of my mistake I made before. I need to do this for the sake of him and his family. I need to sacrifice my life for what I have done.'' Emmanuel was talking to himself alone there.

He wants Jordyn to forget about him and can continue her life happily. He didn't want to see her suffer to still remember about him and waiting for him.

'Jessa... I wished I can say happily to you... that I'm back! This me... '
