A father
Tihana stayed at the hospital for more two hours with Emma and her mother whom the doctor announced will be discharged after a week and suggested she go into therapy immediately.
Tihana called Aiden to come pick her up and now, she’s standing outside the hospital and waiting for him. Then she heard a footstep that seems to be approaching her…. She turned her back and it was Emma.
“I thought you went in to stay with her.”
“I did.. but she’s asleep now.” Tihana nodded and look away, her eyes fixed on the hospital gate. As she wanted to see Aiden’s car.
She missed Collins already and just wanted to have him on her arms. Cooing him… Even tho it’s tiring, it was a beautiful moment and she tend to keep that beautiful moment for a long time, Collins is currently six month old, how fast time flies.
“Tihana. Thank you for always being here for me, I dunno what I could do without you. I realized that it had always been you… My life had always been meaningful, thanks to you.”
“C’mon Emma, we’re family. Please stop.”
Emily smile and look at Tihana for a while before looking away. Wondering how on earth she had hated such a amazing soul?
“Aiden is here. I have to go Emma, please give me a call when she’s asleep. I’ll come over to check up on her before she’s discharged.”
“You don’t have to. We’ll be fine ”
Tihana didn’t say anything but smiled. Pause for a while and spread her arms, Emma chuckles and took the hug. When they disengage, Tihana waved at her and walk over to Aiden’s car and got in.
“Hey. How’s she?” Aiden asked.
“Fine. She’ll be discharged In a week time…. She’s going through a lot since the passing of her husband.”
“Everything will be alright. You look so tired, why don’t you lean down and catch some sleep while I drive?”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Tihana nodded. It was almost as if Aiden understood what she really wants right now. She pull down the car seat, and the lay comfortably.
“Drive carefully. I don’t want to die.” Tihana tease him as she shut her eyes. Aiden smiled, lean over and kissed her forehead before finally putting the car to life.

Wayne stood and watch Diana sat inside the restaurant, drinking beer. He watched her from outside for a while before finally deciding to go in.
“What are you doing here?” Diana questioned, immediately her eyes meet with his.
“To take you home. Stop drinking ” Wayne attempted to take the glass out of her hand but Diana slapped him off.
“Do not touch me, you rotten pig! How dare you treat me like a piece of trash?”
Wayne sighed and pull out a chair to sit opposite her. Did he forget that Diana had a really bad temper and hold grudges for quite a long time?
“I’m sorry about earlier. But we’ll talk about that later huh? Let me take you home now, you’re drunk.”
“You’re sorry? You pathetic loser.” Diana stood up and so did Wayne.
“I hate you, so stay out of my way.” Diana had just taken two steps before she trapped over and fall on Wayne’s arm.
“Leave me!” She pushed herself away from him.
“Ah! You’re such a hard nut to crack ” Wayne complained and without waiting to hear whatever she has to say, he carried up in a bridal style. Despite the kicks at first, Diana finally give in when she was tired.
Wayne’s helped her get into the back seat. Ofcourse he isn’t gonna place a drunk woman in his front seat, he’d get distracted while driving.
He walked over to the driver side and got in.

Diana stretch herself on the bed as the morning sun hit her face, making her open her eyes. She recognized where she was at.
Ofcourse… Her apartment! She was about to stood up when the door opened, revealing Wayne with an apron on and he was carrying a tray of food.
“Why? Why are you here?” Diana pouts as she watched him drop the tray on the side table and went to sit next to her.
“You’re my girlfriend. Why wouldn’t I be here? …. Here, drink this soup.” Wayne said and handed him over the first plate from the tray. Diana collected it from him after an eye roll, then drank it as he had told her.
“Were you the one that brought me home?”
“Mmhh. Why do you have to drink?”
“Why?! Argh! You’re so unbelievable ” Diana hiss and drop the bowl back.
“Why do I have to drink? Ofcourse it’s because of you! How could you talk to me with that tone and make me feel so bad yet you’re here, pretending everything is alright.”
Wayne smiled. “I know I shouldn’t have talked to you like that. Forgive me and I promise it won’t happen, ever again.”
Diana looked at him for a while before looking away, her eyes on the covered plates. “What did you cook?”
