"Ha! Tom Qin, I'm telling you. You can't just ask me to love someone else. I'm entitled to follow my heart regardless if you accept me or not." That was it! Patricia's tears began to spill no matter how hard she tried to control it. She couldn't even understand why was she being humble in front of him. Had she fallen this deeply in love with him even before she realized it?
"I know I can't force you to do something but please stay away from me, " Tom said before turning to Leena."Leena, I'm tired and I want to take a rest. Take her to another doctor to replace the dressing, " he added with finality. He was tough and unwilling to take no for an answer. He doted on Leena but that didn't mean that he felt the same for her friend.
"Tom..." Leena still wanted to persuade him but then stopped upon seeing his gloomy face. Tom barely lost his temper and it was more than obvious that he had come to the end of his patience now.
She was still staring at Tom when a burst of loud laughter suddenly took both of their attention; it was from Patricia. She was laughing as if she heard a really funny joke. However, she wasn't able to hide the bitterness on her face no matter how hard she tried.
"Leena, let's go! Stop begging him." Patricia dragged Leena out of Tom's office. She didn't want to act like a poor beggar. She couldn't even accept the thought that she was actually begging for Tom to love her.
"Patricia, are you okay?" Leena asked anxiously as they left Tom's office.
"I'm all right. Don't worry." Patricia dried her tears with the back of her hand and gave Leena a reassuring smile.
"I'm really sorry. I don't understand how it turned out like this, " said Leena. She felt really gu unique scent.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm in a dream and I'm scared to wake up. What if we are still strangers once this dream is over?" Leena embraced his head and then stroked his hair tenderly. She knew that she was young and she still had a lot to learn. She had been trying so hard to learn how to love him, how to take care of him and how to forgive him.
She was still deep in her thoughts when Kevin suddenly pinched her cute face mildly as he stared at her with eyes full of affection."Does it hurt?"
"Ouch! Why did you do that?" Leena pursed her lips as she grumbled. Then she cast Kevin a blaming stare.
"If you feel the pain, then you are not in a dream." Kevin kissed her on the same cheek to comfort her.
"Bad boy!" blurted Leena. She beat on his chest with her fists. She might be acting angry right now but she honestly loved this moment.
"Hey, stop that! What time is your flight tomorrow? Have you bought the ticket?" Kevin asked as he grabbed her fists. Leena wasn't the type who would interfere with his work and neither was he to her. Their love was based in respect and it was simply the best there was.
