Chapter 5 - The scar

"Knock Knock" the nurse entered the doctor's office "Doctor Dean's miss Clara is here" said the nurse as she stepped out of the office. Good evening doctor Dean "she greeted as doctor gesture for her to sit down,which she did "miss Ken your son lab re just came out, I'm sorry to announce to you that your son indeed has a lungs infection and needs to be operated on to avoid the infection from spreading any further" said the doctor as he gave her a pity look.

Clara was probably too shocked to react because she wasn't saying anything. The doctor placed his hand on Clara's shoulder to give her comfort. She excuses herself from the office,she didn't even hear the rest of the words the doctor said to her.

Clara walked on the hospital corridor blankly as a lot went through her head,she sat on the seat there. She didn't know how long time passed by before hot tears started streaming down her eyes. " I….i…can't…i.. can't,oh my baby" Clara mumbled as she wailed with her palms overher mouth. She cried tears of pain and anguish and the only words that left her mouth were " I need to save my baby".

Leo looked at the little pie who was already asleep. He is getting worried as Clara was taking too long and decided to go look for him only to see her sitting in the corridor crying. He rushed to her " Clara what is going on,why are you like this, what did the doctor say" he panicked. Clara at this point can't say anything but wailed,Leo seeing Clara like this pained him. He sat with her and allowed her to cry on his shoulder.

Parking the black Mercedes in the driveway of the restaurant Micheal stepped out. He handed his car keys to the valet as he stepped into the restaurant "The Angels" written in bold letters. Micheal arrived from his business trip. He drove straight to the restaurant.

A waiter came forward and bowed his head slightly before them. He guided him to the second floor to a private room. The waiter scurried out the room.

The room interiors were kept minimalistic but still had its own charms. Moreover, the room was more like a balcony, looking over a river which flowed next to the restaurant. Jane seeing Michael enter the room was so happy,she went close and threw herself in his arms which Michael returned half heatedly. They took seats opposite to each other.

A breeze of fresh air entered the room. Micheal smiley "when did you make the reservation" he asked her "he asked her. "I made the reservation yesterday,I want to make everything perfect,do you like it?" replied Jane as she asked "hmm" Michael responded to her,Jane frowned but still managed to offer him a smile. She did not mind his attitude as she plans to make their date memorable.

The waiter entered the room again, with their menus in his hand. He offered them those and waited patiently in the corner of the room as they decided their orders. They placed their orders,the waiter wrote down their orders and went back.

While they waited for their orders to arrive, Michael gazed outside as his mind drifted back to Clara. All the while Michael was looking outside Jane was looking at him. Seeing Michael was lost in thought. She can't help but frown at him " Michael how was your trip" she asked to bring his mind to her "fine" Michael replied monologues "oh" she replied after registering his answer.

Soon their orders arrived and they dug into them. The waiter served wine in the glasses and left. Jane glanced at Michael " why can't he just like me back? Why is it so hard to even have his attention?" She thought to herself.

After eating their dinner, Micheal paid for the bill even though Jane insisted on paying but she was still happy.

Jane glanced at him as he headed down stairs. Her cheeks were now tinged with a shade of pink because of the wine she had earlier.

The valet brought out his cat, Michael gave him a huge trip and drove the car to Jane's apartment once they were seated in it.

When they reached her apartment, Michael turned his head sideways to see her off only to find her sleeping peacefully. " No wonder it was quiet during the journey" he thought. Instead of waking her up directly,he parked the car on the side and turned off the ignition. Turning his head towards her again he gazed at Jane.

"Why can't he love her" as Michael thought,he had really tried to love her but he just can't he sighed as he tap her to wake her but stop as he glanced at her head were the scar was remembering how the scar came to be,his gaze soften small "Jane" he said softly but got no response from her "Jane" he said again,but louder this time tapping her shoulder lightly. "Huh?" She woke up with a startled look at her surroundings, realizing that they were outside her apartment building. Her face showed a disappointed look but covered it up.

Jane stepped out of the car, turned back

"Good night Michael" she said

"you too Jane , you should head upstairs now" Michael reminded her. Michael watched her disappear back and drove down the road, heading to his house.

When Michael arrived it was already midnight. He couldn't help but stretch his body, heaving out a tired sigh,he headed straight to the bathroom to take a shower. After returning back to his room, he dropped down on his bed as his thoughts about Clara as a smirk appeared on his lips as he planned on what to do.
