HIS SECRETARY

68

K E N D R A

"Can't you please shut up?" I asked when Kendrick was constantly shouting. 

He visited me today again and brought a VR game. He already feels at home in this hospital. I can't even grasp his personality. Just how childish and stupefying can he be? He even looked like a fool while playing it and he kept shouting for goodness's sake! I'm too ashamed to step out of this room. What will the other people think with his shouting? He is causing chaos in this hospital. I couldn't even focused on the book I was reading.

When he did not answered, I picked up the remote and turned the television off where he was playing. It took him a few more seconds before he realized what happened. Kendrick groaned and removed the eye piece he was wearing.

"Bummer!" he called me and I just rolled my eyes at me. So childish.

"If you want to play that game, go home. You're shouting like a madman and it's breaking my eardrums." I told him and flipped the page of the book I was reading.

"As if they'll be really broken." he countered and I couldn't help but argue with it.

"There's a possibility, dimwit." I clapped back and he shook his head before stuffing his mouth with cherries.

"Tell me that when your boyfriend already diagnosed it." he answered and I snorted.

Now I got another person pushing words into my mouth. Why does everybody think that Cyan is my boyfriend? Do we look like a couple? Goodness, we're just friends.

"Cyan's not my boyfriend." I corrected and he just shrugged at me. He just won't listen. Gosh.

I already lost interest in reading my book so I put it on the side table. I got myself a cherry and put it in my mouth. I was thinking of when I'll be able to be admitted out.

"Mom's on their way. Anything you want?" Kendrick asked after he read a text. I looked at him and suddenly craved for a red velvet cake.

"Red velvet cake." I answered and Kendrick nodded before biting the apple.

I was a bit thankful that Kendrick is swinging by the hospital when he has time. He's the only one who eats the fruit and it was a relief on my part. Sooner, these fruits will be spoiled and I don't want them to be wasted like that. Good thing I had Kendrick.

"Good day my darling!" Mom's sweet voice mumbled and I couldn't help but smile at her. I gave her and Dad a hug before they gave me a slice of red velvet cake.

"So when will you be able to go out of this hospital, darling? Dad asked and I shrugged. I don't even know if I was now okay to go out.

"Cyan's going here. You should ask him about it." I said and they just nodded.

"I'll just take this call." Dad said and excused himself. He must really be busy.

We were quiet for a while until Cyan came. Kendrick greeted him which was unusual because it was clear that he's not liking Cyan's presence. He must had a change of heart. Good for him.

"Cyan, when will Kendra be able to leave this hospital?" Mom asked and Cyan smiled at her.

"I'm currently taking care of her discharge. It's been approved and she can probably go home tomorrow afternoon." Cyan said and that brightened up my mood.

"Can I really be discharged tomorrow?" I asked, still bewildered with the good news.

"Yes, of course you can. You're already treated and the wound on your head already healed." Cyan said and I mouthed a yes.

We were having a happy moment in the hospital when a noise was heard just outside of my room. My brows creased because the noise was so disturbing.

"What the fuck? Let me go!" a voice shouted from outside and I quickly recognized the voice.

Mom and Kendrick didn't heard it and they seemed uninterested with it too. The only one who showed recognition was Cyan and I. Cyan quickly glanced at me before looking at my Mom.

"I'll be out, Ma'am." he ssid and quickly went out of my room.

I blinked for a few times and tried to registered what was happening. Zachary's here! Oh my gosh, Zachary came to visit me. Tears were starting to fill my eyes and I looked up to stop it. Finally. After how many days of waiting for him to visit, he's finally here. But I highly doubt that he'd be able to enter.

I saw the bodyguards and they had bulky bodies. I'm pretty sure that they were well oriented about not letting Zachary enter.

"Mom..." I called and Mom looked at me expectantly. She was reading a book and I hesitated if I should really drive them away.

"Yes, darling? Do you need anything?" she asked and I gulped before telling them what I want.

"I'm sleepy and I'd like to be alone now." I said with all the courage I gathered.

"Oh." Mom replied and she looked shocked with what I said. She blinked for plenty of times before smiling and standing up.

"Sure, darling. We'll leave you be and let you sleep in peace now. Kendrick, come on." Mom said and dragged my brother away.

My gaze followed until they went out of the door. I got the remote and turned the lights off. I pretended to be asleep and even made fake snores.

I knew that the guards were divided into two when it comes to night time. It was a gift from above because the guards that stays during midnight until five in the morning were too young and I frequently noticed how they fall asleep at one in the morning.

That means that I have the chance to sneak out and meet Zachary. I pulled out my phone and texted Zachary's number to meet me at the back graden of this hospital. If ever the guards wakes up while I'm still out, I'll just reason out that I went to the bathroom.

I couldn't help but smile what I had schemed. I wish this will work. I badly wanted to see Zachary again. I missed him so much.

I'll be there.

Was Zachary's reply. Thank the heavens that he was still using the same number. If he had changed into a different one then this plan won't work out.

I waited until it was one o'clock and I peeked outside. The guards were really sleeping comfortably on the chairs.

I walked slowly and surely to not make a noise. I don't want to wake them up because I'd be in big trouble. While tiptoeing out of the hospital, I stayed quiet. Ilooked weird doing it but who cares.

The only thing that matters now is for me to go out.

I heaved a sigh of relief when I finally got to the garden. I roamed my eyes and saw a guy standing at the left end of the garden. I walked towards him and called his name.

"Zachary, is that you?" I asked to make sure that I got the right person.

He slowly turned his head and I couldn't help but smile when I finally got a glimpse of his face. I really missed this guy.

"Kendra..." he called and I can sense the longing in his voice.

Oh my goodness. I haven't heard his voice and seen his face for a long time. I miss him so much.

With teary eyes, I quickly ran to him and hugged him tight. We won't be able to decipher what the future holds. But I'll take this chance to hug him tight and not let go.
