Eryna sneaked back into the hospital and tip-toed back to the room trying to be as invisible as she could. She held her face with both of her hands until she reached her room.
“Gosh! I am so glad none of them decided to visit me today, “ Eryna wiped the sweat on her forehead in relief and opened up the door. And walked in like a sneaky cat, she slowly closed it and turned around.
“Gasp!!—“ Eryna saw something frightening and her eyes widened in shock. Her breath stopped and she slowly gulped down her fright and opened up her lips.
“What are you doing, sitting there like a sneaky cat!?” She spoke in an almost screaming manner.
“Sneaky? Me? Look who's talking.” Renya got up off the chair and walked over to her. “Where did you run off too? Didn’t the doctor tell you to not move around because you can faint any time?” Renya was just a few inches away from her with an angry expression. Eryna’s eye twitched and she gulped down her fear once more before speaking.
“I—I know, I was just feeling a bit stuffy in the room so I went for a walk!” Eryna lifted her head and spoke with confidence.
“Where did you go for a walk?” Renya asked.
“It was-it was in,” Eryna stole her gaze from Renya and tried hard to make up something,
“Oh! You must have gone to the park just across the road,” Renya spoke in a questioning manner.
“YES!—that’s exactly where I was—I was at the park, yes.” Eryna grinned.
But Renya’s face was stoic.
“Do you think I am an idiot?” Renya asked while lifting an eyebrow.
“Are you not?” Eryna asked in a teasing manner.
“There is no park beside the road…it’s a graveyard,” Renya added.
Eryna’s smiling face paused for a second and then formed into a confused expression.
“There isn’t?! Haha! How silly of me, I mistook the graveyard for a park, I must have gone crazy...I mistook my future home for some park,” Eryna chuckled and walked towards the bed. “Why are you here? By the way?” Eryna asked.
Renya looked at her with a worried gaze and didn’t move for a while but then she replied finally, “Hunter told me you were having surgery tomorrow, he said—“ she looked down.
“What did he say,” Eryna asked leisurely.
“(Inhale)” Renya took a long breath and didn’t say anything, She kept on looking down, Eryna felt odd so she walked up to her and lifted her head to see her tears-filled eyes.
“Renya! Why ARe you crying?” Eryna’s face was puzzled.
“(Sniff)” Renya shook her head sideways, “it’s nothing—I just, I am just scared.” Renya’s voice was small and broken, it was hardly audible as grief had taken over her words.
“Why? What happened? Why are you scared?” Eryna asked in an extremely tensed tone, she felt her heart race suddenly.
“I-I don’t want to lose you once more,” She burned into tears, Eryna’s eyebrows that were knitted with worry eased, and her lip curled into a satisfied smile.
“Come here! Who said anything is going to happen to me?” Eryna spoke. “Look at these muscles, Death is extremely scared of them,” Eryna patted her thin stick-like biceps muscle and joked. Renya looked at her face and her lip slowly lifted as she found her funny, but she then spoke.
“ it the doctors said it’s very risky surgery, there is very little hope of success—what if, what if something—“
“Sh!! Not another word! And no more tears!” Eryna held Renya’s face and cleared the tears with her thumb.
“As long as the people I love are by my side, nothing—absolutely nothing is going to happen to me! Do you understand?” Eryna asked.
Renya gulped down her tears and nodded.
“Sigh! Now go home and have some sleep, I am okay here,” Eryna pushed her towards the door.
“Can I not stay?” Renya protested.
“And where are you going to sleep? I am not sharing my single bed with you, you are too old for that—and big.” Eryna muttered. “Okay now! Run along, have some sleep and let me sleep too!” Eryna pushed her out of the door and closed it.
Renya stood outside the closed door with a serious expression.
“As long as the people you love are by your side, nothing will happen—“ Renya repeated her words. “Then all the people you love should be here—Right?” Her eyes were filled with an odd expression. As a very fresh memory of Eryna staring at Micah’s sleepy face with love flashed before her eyes.
“I don’t know why? But I think Micah should be here—he should know the truth,” Renya spoke to herself,
“I will bring him here! I will bring him to meet you,” She spoke in a determined voice.
Flash Back:
Renya was on her way to meet Eryna when she saw her walk out of the hospital building, at first she was not sure if it was Eryna or not but when she looked up at her closely she recognized the colorful cap Eryna was wearing. Renya felt odd in her stomach when she saw Eryna go out in such cold weather so she decided to follow her. Without Eryna knowing Renya followed the taxi she was in.
Renya was quite a puzzle story see Eryna walk into a bar,
“Is she nuts? Does she want to die?” Renya thought she was going to have a drink at the bar but when she followed her in, she saw her arguing with a bunch of women that were circling Micah. Eryna’s face was painted with jealousy. It was very new for Renya, Eryna won the fight because Micah stood up for her. Renya quickly walked out of the bar so she wouldn’t get caught. But she kept on looking at them, Eryna was already weak but she wasn’t giving up on Micah, she managed to get him to a safe place… they talked for a while. Renya was surprised to see how happy and content Eryna was when Micah was by her side, she heard her say that she will get well soon and kiss Micha on the cheek. Eryna’s eyes had a soft and kind look in them, it was as if she was looking at Simba, the look that only the people dear to her received.
Renya teared up, at the sight of Eryna being happy.
Flashback Ends,
“I will surely bring him here, and you will have a happy ending, I promise you that,” Renya spoke out and walked away from the door.
