Chapter 12 - The Plan

On the next day angel went to the hospital running. She was curious about his holded properties, maybe she could find something that can make him wakeup.

She entered the hospital and noticed the previous doctor and went to him. The doctor was surprised of her presence, "Didn't I say for you to not come here? What brought you here?''

"Doctor I want to see his belongings.''

"What? Are you kidding? What is the use of doing that?''

"Please doctor, I need to see them now, and I promise I will not come here after today. Just give me a last chance "

The doctor looked at her thinking of his decision but he accepted, "Well I will give you a last chance for the last time''

Angel smiled and went with the doctor to the belongings room and she started finding something different in Ash's belongings box and she recognized a pink paper folded, she picked it up and took a deep breath and opened it, it was of his handwriting and started reading…

Dear Angel,

If you are reading this, that means you found me. This is a poem I wrote to tell you how I feel toward you,

You're the one who own my heart

All I need is you my love

You're my joy and happiness

And with our love I promise

Angel cried and smiled at the same time. She turned to the doctor, "Please doctor I want you to let me see him''

"Well you know that I gave a last chance to see his belongings, not to let you see him''

Angel's face was wet and was looking sorrowfully at the doctor. "Please doctor I will wake him up, if he didn't you will not see me in this hospital ever''

"No I can't''

"Please''

Finally the doctor looked at angel, "You are really good in changing me. Ok I will give you two minutes, only two.''

And without any word Angel stood and hugged the doctor. Lately, the doctor took her to the room and stood waiting her for the last time to wake him from his quietness.

Angel sat beside Ash on the bed smiling and looking at his shining face, "Hey Ash, how are you? I am good but I will be better if you were with me. By the way I read the poem, it describes you more than me. This is my last visit for you, so please let me return home with you''

She opened the paper and started singing it in a low voice near his ears, "You're the one who own my heart. All I need is you my love. You're my joy and happiness and with our love I promise you that I will be yours forever''

Angel stood in front of the bed and closed her eyes and started praying. After sometime of waiting there was no result. The doctor holded her arms, "Let's go Angel, there is no use of this, there is no hope''

"Please wait a little more, I am sure he will wake''

The doctor shook his head no, Angel bent down and started crying, she stood and they walked towards the door.

"Hmm"

And in a second both of them turned with the opened mouth face. Ash's eyes were open. Angel ran towards him and hugged him and started crying, the doctor who stood frozen and shocked said nothing.

Ash was smiling, Angel rose from above his shoulders and holded Ash's face and looked at him closely, and Ash looked at her smiling….

After days of hard work of the hospital's doctor's medical care and sure from Angel's frequent visits, Ash started to talk and move his body parts...

Ash was sitting on his bed and beside of him was of course Angel, she was feeding him with the spoon, and Ash was eating silently and gazing at Angel. Angel stopped and put the spoon on the plate and looked at him and smiled, "Yes sir, why are you staring at me like I am the last piece of your favorite cupcake that is bought by someone else?''

Ash giggled, "Nothing, I was just wondering about you. Am I the one you really want to live forever with? Do you love me that much?''

Angel was surprised of the question and tried to change the discussion, "Your mother is worried about you, we will call her later to calm her''

"Did all what you went over in your journey was just to find me? It was my mistake that I didn't tell you earlier that I was talking to my mother that day''

"Ash just be calm, we will talk about that later''

"No, I want you to tell me why didn't you leave me? I even thought that the letter inside the suit was not easy to find.''

"Ash, just eat quietly!''

She gave him a spoonful of the soup but he put his hands in front of the spoon, he took it from hands and put it on the table. He holded her hands, "The poem was for you when you will find me in my house. I felt you when you came to me on the first visit and I really wanted you beside me when I holded your hand on the 2nd day and here I am now, holding your hand again. Angel I promise you that I will hold you and be with you forever whatever happens so Angel please don't leave me.''

Angel smiled and nodded.

After a week a leaving approval was given for Ash. Angel packed all Ash's stuff and ordered a cab, while Ash was enjoying in the goodbye celebration with the hospital's employees and doctors. and after a long wait Angel and Ash left the hospital happily.

They arrived the hotel and in Angel's room Ash laid on the bed while Angel was bringing in Ash's stuff. She entered the kitchen and cooked some snacks and gave it to Ash who ate it so fast because he was hungry, "your food is so tasty. What I know is that the maid in your house is the one who cooks and you have never entered the kitchen, from where you have learnt this?''

She smiled, "In my long and lonely stay in this hotel I had nothing to do, so I decided to learn simple recipes from the internet''

After three days of rest, Ash got his full strength and started going out. On the other hand Angel, who was looking after Ash was happy and feeling great. She sang all alone when she was prepared lunch for both of them with her very soft and sweet voice.

Afternoon, Ash was returning to the hotel after his morning jogging. He entered the room and laid on the sofa exhausted without Angel recognizing and suddenly he heard the chanting of Angel. Slowly he stood, he started walking quietly and stopped letting his mouth near her ears while she was singing without noticing,

"My love'' he whispered

Angel's spoon fell on the floor from her shock, she turned unable to talk and her heart was going to stop. She started shouting, "You crazy! What did I do for you to frighten me like that? My heart was going to blast from terror''

He holded her upper arms with his hands

"Don't let your heart stop, please. I cannot live without you, and there is no one who will look after me''

She rolled her eyes and returned to her cooking, "Don't worry I will be here, my luck made me stuck with you.''

She handles him a plate with the macaroni that she made, "Here take this and don't think of scaring me like that because I will not survive next time''

He laughed and went saying, "Don't worry I will do it again but the next time you will be my wife''

She giggled.

Later, when both were going to sleep, Angel slept on the sofa while he slept on the bed for his health condition.

Ash took his phone and called Angel. Angel grinned when she found that it was him, "Hey Ash''

"Hey''

"What's new''

"Nothing, I just want to ask you if I could, and if you are not busy to invite you for lunch outside''

She smiled more with no answer.

"Angel are you there?''

"Yes, yes I am here''

"Sooo, what do you say?''

"About what?''

"About the lunch!"

"Mmm… ok, but you will pay"

"Huh, did you say yes?''

"Yep''

"Ok, see you tomorrow. Dress up nicely''

"Bye''

Both shut their phone, Ash jumped on the bed from joy while Angel slept smiling and thinking about Ash.

The next morning Angel woke up and made her own breakfast while Ash has awaken earlier for his jogging. Angel continued working on her laptop on the sofa, there was a lot to look at on the internet: her university, her left money in the bank, her ticket limit and else.

At afternoon Angel started preparing herself and when she finished she went to find out that Ash was waiting her on the sofa, she came nearer to the sofa from the behind while he was watching the TV, "Hey''

Ash turned and stood from what he is seeing, "Hey''

She was looking at him exclaiming "Is there something in my dress?"

Ash's eyes were wide open on her, "No, not at all, it is just…this is what is meant to dress nicely and more"

Angel was wearing a yellow short sleeves dress with white flats and her hair was open with a white flower on the side.

Angel smiled shyly, "You too look cute''

He kept looking at her, "Not more than you''

"Ok stop it now and lets go''

He smiled and they started walking to the restaurant, the weather was so nice outside. Both of them were talking and laughing on their way. They arrived and they picked the table that was outside and they sat and ordered their lunch. After some minutes the food arrived and they started eating, after some bites she took a slice of the meat and brought it to Ash's mouth, Ash smiled and ate the bite.in return Ash took a spoonful of salad and handed it to Angel's mouth, she ate it smiling.

After the lunch, they got their juices and started talking, Ash was not drinking, and he was just looking at Angel.

"Hey Ash, why are you not drinking?''

"I don't want''

"What! Are you kidding and also stop staring at me!''

"I prefer to look at your natural beauty than drinking this artificial juice''

She smiled and drank a sip from her smoothie, slowly Ash brought his thumb to her lips tip and cleaned the smoothie left on it. Angel was looking at his eyes when he was doing this, she felt something rushing inside her blood.

Ash continued examining her face and smiling but she tried to control herself, "Hey Ash, on the morning I took a look at my university and the classes I have missed, oh gosh you didn't see how much classes I have missed''

Ash suddenly looked worried, "So are you going to fail this year?''

"No I am not going to fail, once we return I can continue and until that I can take the missed classes online''

Ash relaxed and looked at her eyes, "You left all your life just to save me, do you think I deserve it?''

She smiled, "Maybe''

"I need you with me Angel'' he holded her hands on the table.

She looked at him with a loving eyes and a smiling face.

"And I want to make you mine''

She opened her eyes widely.

"Marry me Angel''

Angel's eyes and mouth were widely open with no movement or response. Ash looked at her and moved his palms in front of her eyes, "Angel, Angel are you with me?''

She returned back, "Ya I am fine''

"So? What do you say?''

She looked at him smiling, get up and walked away. Ash who was surprised, placed the payment cash on the table and ran to follow her. After he reached her, they continued walking along and he looked at her. "Is that a yes?''

She kept silent and continued forward.

"Oh come on, I am dying to know your answer and you are cool as ice''

"I will tell you my answer after a week'' she continued walking looking straight ahead

"What! Are you kidding?''

"Nope, but I need some time to decide''

"So?''

"Give me a week and in this time you can invite me or impress me''

He laughed, "Oh my God, I knew that you will be hard to reach. But it's okay, you deserve it because I love you and as they say No pain no gain''

"Do you call a week for waiting a pain?''

"Yep''

Both laughed and continued their way to home holding hands and chatting.
