Cherry was not able to sleep at all that night. In the morning she got up with a huge headache and dark circles. She went towards the kitchen and made a cup of coffee for herself. She sat on the sofa in her living room and turned on T.v. She was lost in her thoughts when she got a call from the hospital. She got up from the sofa and run towards her room and within few minutes she was on her way towards the hospital.
"Miss Yang, your mother's condition is deteriorating and she is in comma, we are really sorry Miss Yang we tried our best but her condition is deteriorating day by day", Dr. Kim said in his professional tone and left her there.
I ran inside the room where my mother was lying lifeless with so many pieces of equipment attached to her. My heart sank when I saw her in that condition. With heavy steps, I went towards her bed. I sat on the chair and hold her hand. Her hand was so cold, I tried to give her some warmth through my hand. My mind was numb and I was processing what was happening around me. I don't know for how long I sat there while holding my mother's hand.
Miss Yang, A nurse called me. I looked towards her with an emotionless face.
"You have to leave as visiting hours are over", she said.
I nodded and looked towards my mother. I got up from my chair and kissed my mother's forehead and went out of the room. I was driving my car with a numb mind, suddenly the reality hit me as the lifeless face of my mother came in front of my eyes. It was raining heavily outside. I parked my car near a park and got out of it. I started walking toward the park with heavy steps. Suddenly I fell to the ground with a great thud and tears started to stream down my face. I screamed my heart out like I want to get rid of this pain. Nothing was working, First time in my life I was feeling helpless. I looked towards the sky and started crying loudly.
What wrong I did in my past life that you are punishing me this way? Why are you so cruel to me?
Why are you so persistent to take all those things from me which I loved with all my heart?
Why are you so cruel to me? Why, why, why? If you want to take someone please, take me. Please, I beg you to leave my mother. I'll not be able to live without her.
Mr. Zang was passing through that park when his eyes fell on Cherry. He told his subordinate to stop the car and get him an umbrella. He got out of the car and started walking towards Cherry.
As I reached near, cherry I was able to listen to what she was saying. She was crying so loudly. My heart clenched by looking at her in that condition. She was totally drenched and was shivering because of the cold. I felt stiff pain in my heart as I wanted to protect her from this pain. I didn't go close to her as I didn't want to invade her privacy but I couldn't leave her in that state. I was standing a little far from her keeping an eye on her, suddenly she becomes unconscious. I panicked by seeing her in that condition and ran towards her. I picked her up in the bridal style and went towards my car and told my subordinate to bring her car behind me. I put her on the passenger seat and put on the seat belt so that she didn't fell down and then I went towards the driver seat. I started the engine and drove off the car.
In Zang's mansion, I pulled my car in front of the entrance and got out of the car, I went towards the passenger seat and picked her up in my arms, and went inside the mansion. While walking inside I ordered my subordinate to call the doctor. Then I took her straight into the guest room after lying her down on the bed I called the maid to fill the bathtub with warm water. When the tub was full I put Cherry into it so that she felt comfortable and didn't feel sick. After some time I took her out of it and ordered my maid to take off her wet clothes and put on some warm clothes on her. Then I went out of the room and walked towards my room and took bath and changed into comfortable clothes. I went toward the french window and lit up a cigarette.
"Mr. Zang doctor is here", the maid informed me.
"Take him to her room"' I said in a firm voice.
Yes, Mr. Zang, she bowed and left the room. I went downstairs to the living room to meet the doctor.
"How is she?", I asked the doctor.
"She is in some shock, because of that she passed out", the doctor replied.
Don't worry Mr. Zang she will be fine after taking some rest just make sure to feed her when she wakes up, with that doctor bowed and left.
Mr. Zang went towards the guest room, he went near the bed, and looked towards Cherry who was sleeping peacefully. He tucked her properly and sat on the side of the bed while looking at her.
Cherry was looking like an angel even though her face was looking a little pale and her lips were little blue but her beauty was doing something to my heart. I never understand why I lose my composure in front of her. But I really feel content whenever she is close to me.
I woke up when sunlight hit my eyes and tried to adjust to the light and then noticed that I am not in my room. Where the hell am I? I thought in my mind. Then I saw a woman in her mid-forties coming towards me with a cup of coffee.
She bowed and said politely, "Miss please come downstairs and have breakfast, Mr. Zang is waiting for you".
"What Mr. Zang?", I said in surprise.
Yes Miss, with that she bowed and left the room.
I was freaking out, Why the hell I am in his house? But, one thing I know very clearly that only Mr. Zang can give me answers to my questions.
I changed into my clothes and went downstairs where Mr. Zang was sitting and was sipping his coffee while reading the newspaper.
"Mr. Zang, Good morning", I bowed and wished him.
He looked towards me and signed me to sit on the chair. What an arrogant jerk, I thought in my mind and sat on the chair. Maid brought me chicken porridge to eat, without looking at him I dig in as I need to put something in my system.
After finishing my breakfast I looked towards him. Mr. Zang, can I ask you a question? He nodded his head in response.
"Why I'm here?", I asked politely.
'I bring you here., he said in his stern voice.
"Why?" I asked.
He looked towards me and replied, "I saw you unconscious in the park, that's why."
Oh! Thank you, Mr. Zang, for helping me. I got up from my chair and bowed to him.
I should leave now, thank you for your hospitality, with that I left his house.
Mr. Zang got up from his chair and started walking towards the door while calling someone on phone.
Good Morning. Mr. Zang.
"I have told you something which you haven't done properly", he said angrily.
"I am sorry, Mr. Zang but everything happened all of a sudden, we are trying our best", he replied from another side of the line.
"I don't need your false hopes, I need a result, Otherwise you know me I'm a man of words and I will not hesitate to kill you with my own hands, with that he hung up the call.
