The wooden doors of a house opened up and a young pet.i.te girl wearing a hospital gown entered inside. "h.e.l.lo... Is someone there ??" Her voice echoed as she spoke. As the door closed behind her, she turned back to look around. Fear visible in her big black eyes.
She heard footsteps coming from the front *TAP**TAP*.
With a swoosh she turned front, fear was still visible in her eyes. "Wh...who i..is there??" Her voice stammered as she spoke.
"Don"t you want to know where your husband is ??" A strong voice came from infront of her.
When she looked at where the voice came from, she saw a man wearing a black suit who was seated on a chair. The way the man was seated on the chair gave a different vibe.
She approached a little more further and looked at the man. She had recognized him but, she wasn"t able to recollect his name.
"You...you...I kn..know you... Yo..you are..." She pointed at the man who was looking at her with a mocking gaze.
"Where is this place ?? Where am I ?? Who am I ??" She grabbed her hair as she couldn"t recollect anything about her past.
Stumbling, she took a step back and again looked at the man seated infront of her. But, to her surprise... He wasn"t there.
She ran to the place where he was seated, and not only him, the chair too wasn"t there.
"You don"t want to know ??" Again came the voice of that man. This time, he was standing behind her, just five steps behind her.
She immediately turned around as she heard his voice, but to her surprise, he again was not there.
She looked around. But there was no one. The house was completely empty, just her being inside. She ran here and there like a person searching for some unsolved mysteries.
"Help me out, and I"ll help you." The voice came again and she looked around once more. But the person wasn"t there.
"Your Liu Xenguang is with me... Help me and I"ll help you." The voice came again.
"Your Liu Xenguang is here. If you don"t help me, I"ll be forced to kill him." This time the man said what he had wanted to.
"I"ll kill him." the man repeated his last sentence again.
"I"ll kill him." And again.
The voice echoed continuously in her mind.
She yelled. "No!! Please... Don"t !!" "I don"t know who this Liu Xenguang is. But why does my heart aches when I hear this??" She questions to herself.
She grabbed her head which was throbbing badly in pain. She wanted to remove it and throw it away. Her palms started sweating and tears fell from around the corner of her eyes. She yelled in pain "Nooooo!!" and when she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a white bed, in a white room.
Yan Rong got up from her bed and looked at her surrounding. With fear in her eyes, she scanned the hospital room and realised that it was just a dream ; A BAD DREAM.
She heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the man seated beside her. The man"s expression was somewhat surprised but at the same time he had a worried expression.
Wu Yanchen was worried because he had heard yelling "no, no" in her sleep. He knew that she was having a nightmare, but he was afraid that if he had woken her up, then she would have gotten scared more.
Thereby, he just sat there looking at her as he didn"t know what to do. He felf himself being stuck in between. There was no way for him.
And to his surprise, she had gotten up with an afraid expression on her face. And slowly, it turned into a confusing one as her eyes fell upon Wu Yanchen.
Wu Yanchen poured water for her from the jug and handed it to her. "Here!!" She took the gla.s.s of water and drank it in one big gulp.
Now, the atmosphere felt awkward. She had recognised him as soon as she saw him; afterall he was her friend"s husband.
With a deep breath, she looked at Wu Yanchen and said in a low voice "I know why you are here. It was my fau..." Before she could continue, Wu Yanchen cut in "I want to know where she is !!"
Yan Rong wanted to say something, but she felt that her words were not coming out of her throat.
Getting no response from her, Wu Yanchen joined his hands and pleaded her. "Please !! I beg you !! Tell me where she is. Please, tell me !!"
Yan Rong looked at Wu Yanchen who was pleading her and realised what she had done was insanely wrong. She filled up her courage and started to speak.
Without any further delay, she told him the address. And also, she told him the reason as to why she had backstabbed her own friend.
Wu Yanchen headed out of the room and called Wu Fan. "Send the guy over here. It"s time for our plans." He smirked and got out of the hospital.
Few minutes later, a young man, with a tall figure entered Room no. 32. He had little bruises on his face. It looked like he was involved in a fight.
Yan Rong sat on her bed while looking at the open window to her right. She was listening to her favourite song "A Thousand Years" (1) with the earphones plugged in her ear.
As the lyrics went on, she started to sing with tears in her eyes. Her tears started drying on her face as time was pa.s.sing by.
"I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don"t be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I"ll love you for a thousand more...."
"I"ll too love you for a thousand more, Xiao Hua.(2)" Liu Xenguang said this to Yan Rong as he heard her singing.
He was worried as to why the person who had rescued him made him come to the hospital. He thought that he was gonna get treated, but to his surprise, he saw Yan Rong, his precious wife, inside the room who was singing.
Then, he saw the earphones in her ear and realised that he what he said was futile because she hadn"t heard him at all.
Yan Rong was so immersed in looking at the open window that she didn"t realise the person entering inside. Moreover, she had earphones on, so she wasn"t able to hear anything.
The window was on the right side and the door was on the complete left. A person who was looking at the right, wouldn"t even get to know who was coming unless and until, he looks to the left of his.
Liu Xenguang came and stood beside her. He saw the phone which was kept on the bed and pressed on the pause b.u.t.ton.
As she could no more hear any music in her eyes, she turned her face to look at the phone.
Just as she turned, she saw a man with bruises standing infront of her. He was neatly dressed, but his face was completely out of state. He had brusies all over his face.
Seeing Liu Xenguang infront of her, Yan Rong was so happy that she burst out in tears. She immediately hugged him and kissed him just like how a lover kisses to their long lost love. She kissed him all over his face.
She paused and looked at Liu Xenguang. She touched his bruise on the forehead and he winced.
"I"m sorry!! You had to go through all this. I wish I never would have met you... You wouldn"t have been hurted like this. I"m sorry!! It was all my fault." Yan Rong said with a voice full of pity as she looked at the man standing infront of her with a weak condition.
