CHAPTER 15

Love POV

My head hurts like hell and it's throbbing so hard I can only see darkness.
I heard someone calling my name but I can't fathom who it was but I know I was carried somehow. I’m hearing different voices but I can’t open my eyes.

Someone poked my hand and when I opened it, white ceilings, white walls and a nurse beside me greeted me.

“Hello Mrs. Triumph.” I raise my eyebrow. That sounds familiar.

“Mrs. What”? I asked confused.

The nurse is a bit shock or something. I saw her panics a little but still, she regained her self.

“Mrs. Triumph.” she smiled. “Mr. Emerson is waiting outside with someone. I think they're on their way here.” she said as she reads the paper she’s holding and seconds after that I saw the door opened and two men showed up. The taller guy is wearing suit and the other is on his jeans, both looking handsome.

They both look like they didn't get enough of sleep.

Wait? What! The other one is Emerson. Then I remembered the nurse called me Mrs. Triumph. When was that happened? Did I get married?

I played along.

“Hello husband.” I didn't forget to smirk so it would look real. Jem did chuckle and Emerson? He grins.

“It took you so long to wake up.” Emerson said as he approaches me, sit beside me and kiss my temple. Wait, are we really married? Do I have amnesia? How long I was asleep?

“Could you give us a minute or two”? Jem said, asking the nurse.
She smiled, nod and left.
When the door closed, I didn't control of myself asking.

“What's the year today”? I asked.

The two men look at each other. “2020.” said Jem. That's why the nurse called me Mrs. Triumph. Why can't I remember such beautiful events? I remind myself to knock my head on the wall when they leave.

“W-what”? I said sounding unsure.

Emerson slaps Jem's back and shakes his head.

“It's 2018. I told the doctor you're my wife so they would tell me what's wrong with you since I'm not one of your relatives. “
I sighed. I don't know if I'm relieved or not. Thinking Emerson as my husband excites me. It sends linger on my spine.

“Wait.” Jem said as he approached the chair on my side and have his sit.

“You thought it was real”? he added.

“You idiot.” throwing the fork at him. “When the time darkness consumes
me, I heard someone calling me and telling me to wake up. I felt that I was carried somehow. Then, I heard someone says we’ll be doing tests on you Mrs. Triumph. It won't take long.” I pause, looking at their unexplainable reaction. “Then when I woke up, the nurse greets me with hello Mrs. Triumph.” copying the way nurse said it. That earned a chuckle from them.

“You did hear a lot of things.” Jem stated. “You sure you're not acting”? he laughs.

I glared at him. “You know what? I don't care if you're my boss, but when this thing” showing him my dextrose. “Is gone, I'm going to find you and castrate you.” I added, smirking. We laugh hard when he literally covered his manhood.

“That's too much, you know.”

We chatted for a while and then they left. Emerson insisted on staying, but I just told him I'll be okay.

I am smiling widely and when I was done taking my meds. I didn't feel that I fell asleep that easy.

“You look so beautiful, Love.” the man said.


When I turn my head to him, it was Emerson; he is wearing a dark blue suit and a white shirt under it. His hair was combed neatly.

I felt a little blush. “T-thank you. You look good yourself.” I replied.

He moves a little closer to me and he brush my cheeks with his knuckles and I think that for every phase he brushes, it turns red. You know? Like his hand has red paint.

“What are you doing”? I said holding his arms.
I felt he tensed a bit.

“Nothing, I'm just enjoying my view here. Don't disturb me” I blushed.

He's closing our distance. I think I might hyperventilate. My heart is beating so fast, it feels like it’s going to explode anytime soon. He's going to kiss me, oh my gosh!

He brushes my face and I close my eyes waiting for him to kiss me.

“Love”? When I open my eyes, it's not Emerson's face I'm seeing, it's Celine's. I was dreaming.

“You're here.”

“Not only me.” when I look around, I see Tony, Jem, Venus, JC and there he was, the man in my dreams, Emerson. He looks so cute on his shorts and white shirt. Wait.

“Venus”? I said as I look at my friend.

“You're really here.” she walks towards me.

“So, it seems” by that, she hugs me.

“When did you wake up”? Venus, Tony and JC look at each other and laughs. So, I glared at them questioningly.

“Venus woke up because of Celine.” Tony stated, chuckling.

“Did she do what I think it is”? I asked, smiling. Of course she did.

“Not you too.” Celine said, rolling her eyes. Jem cough and that's the time I remembered about them.

I smiled. “My twin here.” Tony started and that earned an elbow on stomach. “No, before that. Our friend Venus was in a coma for two days.” all eyes turns at her and he nods to Jem and Emerson. “When we found out about Love, we decided first to visit Venus and tell the news to JC.” he paused. Here comes the part where Celine enters, I think. It’s always this kind of way.

“Celine wept like a child and tried to shake Venus.” he chuckles.

“What's funny in there”? she replied to her twin brother but Tony ignored her.

“She cursed and said why did you guys left me for a while with Tony, I might have gone also to a coma so you guys will be happy there with me.” Venus and I groaned.

Then the nurse came with a basket of fruit’s and bouquet of pink flowers, it's so beautiful.

“This is for you ma'am.” then she placed it on the table.

“Who gave you that”? I asked.

“I was told not to tell you his name.” By that, the nurse left.
Celine went to the table and found a note and gave it to me.

Love,
I hope you're okay now. Please take care of yourself. See you soon.
-Seeing you

I say it aloud. “That's crazy.” Venus said.

“You have a stalker”? Jem asked.

I shrug. “I think so. One time the waiter gave me cake, then on the hospital someone gave me and JC a coffee, I also received a bouquet of flowers.” I paused, thinking. “And oh! On the restaurant when Venus and I are having our lunch, someone paid for our bill.” I continued.

“His pockets are deep, I think.” Jem said, shrugging.

“Maybe.”

“But why he's not showing his face”? Celine asked.

“Maybe he is rich but.... Ugly”? Tony said and I chuckle.

“That's what I thought.” Celine replied to his twin.

“Or maybe it's just for an effect or something. Maybe you already know him but afraid to tell you what he feels.” JC replied and Emerson chocked by the food he's eating. Jem slaps his back and we chuckles.

“You okay there? You're quiet.” I said.

He smiled. That's all I get?

“What about you”? I asked.

“What about me”? he replied, wiping his mouth with tissue.

“I mean, why do you think this man who gave me this hasn't showed up his face to me? “ I asked, and then all heads turn at him.
Smirking, he said. “Maybe he's afraid of being rejected.” he shrugs.
One statement and all of us became speechless.

Yes, maybe.
