Playing With Destiny

Chapter Thirty-three

[Keliche Shizamme Sandoval's Point of View]

We just finished a good movie, I tried my best to hold back my tears and I did great. I just looked like I didn’t fight back my tears while looking at Green and Khyzrr.

“There’s a plot that is made to be loved by the viewers and there’s a plot that is made because the writer wants to. The writer’s great.” Green commented seriously while he’s looking at us.

I looked at him, he’s too serious. Is he a movie analyzer or something?

“Just a piece of advice, don’t let a precious moment pass. You’ll definitely regret it for the rest of your life if you’ll miss it.” He said before leaving me and Khyzrr alone inside the room. We both look at each other and I felt like there’s an invisible electric shock or something. Is this some kind of what they call sparks? I immediately looked away, his stares make me weak.

“What are you doing?” He asked me when I shifted my seat, geez, I never thought that I’d be in a situation like this, so awkward. Green’s making me confused with my own feelings!

“Nothing, just eat that donut.” I answered while acting like I’m busy with my phone, help me God. This guy’s really making me crazy! Well, my heart’s going crazy every time he’s doing something to me, even his stares!

Minutes had passed and still no signs of Green and Lizzey, I looked at him. He’s busy watching a movie in the television again, he’s too serious to disturb so I felt contented to just stare at him like this, from afar.

“I’m going to melt with your stares. By the way, how’s your day?” He asked me, I sighed. What did happen with my day again? Oh yea, they bully me a lot because Khyzrr’s not around.

“It’s fine.” I answered even though it’s not really fine! Someone spilled a coffee in my lab gown, someone ruined the fragrance that I’ve been working on, yea, quite nice without this walking dimple.

“Are you with someone during lunch time?” He asked again while he’s eyes are glued on the television. I frowned, he’s not in the mood to listen, I see. He’s busy with that f*****g television.

“You’re not even interested to listen.” I answered, he immediately looked at me while smiling, geez, his face’s so close to me.

“You’re cute, Ice. Fine, tell me what happened to your day at work without me.” He said before turning off the television then he looked at me again. Wow, change of mind. I just want him to just watch something on the television while we’re talking.

“I’m alone when you’re not with me though some of our workmates wants to eat with me.” I answered his question, he smiled, “Who?” He asked, I sighed before answering, “Shan, Jan Lloyd and Gerson?” His smiled immediately vanished into thin air, he already looked angry at me.

“What did I just do?” I asked him, he’s freaking mad, I didn’t even do anything! He looked at me and his hands fell on both of my shoulders, “You will not eat with them, okay?” He said so I slowly nodded, he smiled again.

“I should go ask the doctor if something happened on your brain, if there’s a damage or something. I’ll be --.” He immediately stopped me from calling the doctor, geez, he’s really insane, he’s like a bipolar guy or a crazy man, he’s scary!

“Why would you think of that?” He asked me, I sighed. “You’re being moody, first you’re smiling, second you’re mad, then next you’re smiling again like a crazy man!” I answered hysterically but he just laughed at me. Here he goes again!

“Damn girl, you’re so cute, you know that?” He said while squishing my cheeks, I immediately moved away from him, it hurts a bit.

“I’m not a damn stuffed toy! --“ I stopped when I remembered something, I slowly looked at him and my tears slowly fell from my eyes.

“What’s the matter?” He asked me, damn, why am I crying because of those freaking cute stuffed toys.

“I lost Lala, Lili, Lele, Lolo and Lulu on the fire. I just remembered them.” I answered while still crying, geez, I’m being emotional again. Khyzrr just smiled while patting my shoulder, I remember this scene last night while I’m talking with Ms. Leticia.

“We’ll just get another.” He said, suddenly the door of the hospital room burst open and my eyes widen. I immediately composed and fix myself, stood up and bowed to show some respect. It’s Khyzrr’s freaking mother for pete’s sake!

She’s smiling at me and she looks like sophisticated grace. With those diamond jewelries, from her earrings, necklace and rings. Her dress shouts millions with those shining pearls and wonderful embroidered florals and the heels, looks stunning. All in all, her appearance shouts elegance!

“M-mom?” Khyzrr said while looking at his mom, his mom slowly walked towards us. The sound of her heels bombarded my ears and it’s making me feel more nervous!

She stopped in front of me, she’s smiling and I don’t even know when did she put her hand on my shoulders, “Thank you for taking care of my boy.” She said, I nodded. I can’t even damn smile! With a confused look, she averted her gaze.

“Your girl’s freaking gorgeous.” She commented before I stood up and walked towards the sofa, I just want to let them talk without me in there. It felt really awkward in my part and I don’t know why do I feel this awkwardness!

I just busied myself with my phone since they are busy and while I’m browsing on my facetagram account, I saw my mom’s face, she’s crying on the photo thumbnail. What the f**k did happen and she’s on the damn news?

I immediately clicked the link and I saw the headline,

The youngest of the Sandovals in the emergency room due to her illness.

Did they rush Zhanelle at the hospital last night? But she’s just talking --. Oh I’m a piece of s**t! When will I realized everything? f**k, I’m so f****d up, f**k this pride! She needs me~! I don’t care about my family’s whereabouts, it’s my sister we’re talking about!

I immediately stood up, I looked at Mrs. Alejandro and Khyzrr, they are still talking but I’ll just inform them that I’m already leaving.

“I’m going somewhere, I’ll just leave you both here, I hope you don’t mind if I leave already.” I told them, they just both smiled at me before Mrs. Alejandro nodded. I must admit that they have the same smile.

“Text me.” Khyzrr told me so I just nodded before going out of the hospital room, my eyes widen when I saw Green leaning on the wall and he looked like he’s waiting for me.

“I’ll drive you there.” He said, I didn’t even say something!

“How did you know where I’m going?” I asked him, he just smiled before shrugging as he already started walking towards somewhere that I assume is to his car so I just followed him.

When we’re about to walked towards a particular car, Lizzey saw the both of us so Green waived at her, she just nodded before pointing the entrance of the entrance so Green just nodded. We continued to walked towards his black fortuner, he even opened the passenger door for me, “Thanks.” I uttered.

We both fell silent while we’re on the way to the hospital not until I heard him cleared his throat, “I’m a family friend and it took you long enough to realize it. She’s dying.” He said, I glared at him before showing my middle finger, “She’s strong and she’s not dying! Don’t you dare say that!” I shouted at him. He just shrugged and stayed silent.

When we’re already at the hospital’s parking lot, I don’t know if I can do this or not.

“Don’t back out now, we’re already here.” Green said and he’s not even helping but I’ve got no choice, I’m already here. Might as well go in already and see my sister.

I got off the car and we started walking towards the hospital entrance when Green stopped and dragged me somewhere, “Medias are in there. We need to use another door.” He said.

After a few minutes, we already got inside the hospital and we’re currently inside the elevator where the people around us are giving me confused looks.

Ting!

Fuck, this is it. I’ve never been nervous seeing my sister for the rest of my life.

As the elevator door opens, “Shizamme!” Someone shouted while she’s walking towards me and enveloped me with a tight hug.

“Your sister’s already waiting for you.” She said when she pulled out from the hug but I just stared at her with a blank expression.

“Where’s her room?” I asked her, she just nodded before saying, “Follow me.” So I obliged, I did follow her.
