Pain

Her eyes were wet, his hug felt tighter. He doesn't want a separation, whatever it is, as long as they can be together, he will definitely do anything.

Meanwhile, it seemed this man had different thoughts. Giving in to persuasion like this never worked for him. He's been through a lot in his life, even the worst. But he had never felt so disturbed to this extent.

He forcibly let go of this woman's embrace and gave her a much sharper and colder gaze. Again, so he understands.

"Do you think I believe you? You better put your foot down right now before I get really angry!"

"What are you saying? Why should I leave? I'll stay here and you can't just throw me out like this after everything I've done for you!"

"I never asked you to do anything for me, do you understand?"

"Too much! You're really too much! I'm pregnant, but you threw me out! I can't go back home like this! You have to take responsibility!" The woman screamed hysterically and threw a flower vase at the man.

Praaanggg

The vase broke after hitting the wall right next to the man. After throwing things that were nearby, he cried hysterically. Realizing her mistake which almost hurt the man she loved, this woman immediately hugged his leg.

"Please don't leave me! I beg you! I only have you, I can't live without you, please don't leave me!"

"Go!"

"No! I don't want to go! I will stay here, please don't leave me...!"

The woman cried hysterically, sobbing in helplessness. This man stared at him for a moment still not letting go of his leg.

"Okay, I understand!"

General Hospital

"I can't come, I'm sorry! I have to deliver a change of clothes to Kerry. Just the four of you go!" Said Soraya who walked towards the room where Kerry Smith was being treated while holding the cell phone which she held to her ear.

After the conversation ended, Soraya immediately closed her cell phone and put it in her bag. He felt very nervous, he couldn't believe that he would come back to this hospital to visit Kerry.

At the front door of the hospital, he saw several hospital officers taking a woman out of an ambulance. The officers took the woman's body into the hospital, through a fairly busy corridor.

Behind the car, a police car was parked with five policemen who seemed to be chatting seriously. There were several journalists and a crowd of curious people.

Soraya didn't know what happened, but looking at the current situation, it seemed something had happened related to the unconscious woman.

"Excuse me, what happened?" Soraya asked one of the journalists.

"There was a woman found dead in a car around Pencroft way."

"Huh? Dead? The cause?"

"Temporary suspicion of carbon monoxide gas poisoning."

Soraya shuddered, even though things like this were not uncommon. But it was very rare for him to witness a case like this.

Soraya opened the door to the room where Kerry had been treated for the past three days. He felt very doubtful about meeting him in person. But Soraya had no choice. Kerry has no one who can help her.

"Kerry, I'm coming in, okay?" He said as he opened the door slowly.

On the bed, Kerry sat while waiting to watch the television hanging on the bedroom wall. Soraya came in and immediately put the bag containing Kerry's clothes on the table.

"Thank You!" Just like Soraya, Kerry felt awkward. However, he was still able to cover up his awkwardness by pretending to watch television.

"I've brought your clothes, towels and underwear. If you need anything I think you can call your boyfriend to help you."

"Didn't you meet Josh?"

"No problem?"

"Since yesterday he hasn't come and his cell phone can't be contacted. Even though before he left he promised that he would be back soon. I'm worried."

Even though Kerry behaved in a way that invited sympathy like that, it still didn't make Soraya feel pity. Especially considering how that man threatened him and terrorized him like that. Just remembering it made Soraya feel very angry.

"I'm going home, then see you!"

"Soraya, wait a minute!"

"What is it?"

"I'm very bored. Can you accompany me for a moment?"

"I have something to do, I can't!"

"Please, just a moment! No one sees me but you, that's why-"

Seeing him always act like this made Soraya sick. However, this time he tried to understand Kerry's situation and complied with his request.

Soraya pulled a chair and sat near the window. He deliberately created a distance that he felt would be safer for both of them.

"What about your family? Hasn't anyone arrived yet?"

"No, they won't come!" Kerry said. The look on his face looked very sad and this time Soraya could believe him a little, seeing the loneliness that was clearly visible in his eyes.

"Why?"

"Hum?"

"Why didn't your parents come to see you?"

"That's because they're too busy with their lives. I'm nothing but their past."

"Is that so? What about your friends? You must have one or two close friends, right? What are they?"
