5 His House

"WAIIITTT"

I shouted. Opened my eyes. My arms were up trying to catch him. I saw a white ceiling. I looked around realized I was in the hospital.

'Why I am here? Right, Min Jun.'

I tried to get up.

"Ahh" My head felt like bursting. I tried to pull my hand.

"Ahh" Again, I felt pain in my hand. It was because of IV pin.

I pulled out IV tube from my hand, blood started flowing from my hand. I ignored it. Got out from the bed.

I opened the door, looked around first then exit the room.

I went to the front desk to ask about Min Jun.

"Na-Ra" The old couple shouted from behind.

I turned around.

"Aunty, Uncle. You didn't go?" I asked

"How can we leave in that condition?" The old women replied.

"It's okay. Aunty, Uncle. You both should leave. It's late. Thank you for today" I said.

"How can we leave you in this condition?" Concerned is totally visible in their eyes.

"It's okay, Aunty. You should go. I've my secretory. She is on her way." I said, trying hard to smile.

"Na-Ra... we know that you are in pain but what's done is done. We can't change anything. So, please, don't hang in past. The dead one is gone. Live one had to move on. Okay. I know it's too early to say this, please be happy." The old women comforted me.

'Again, be happy. How can people say this so easily? Even he told me this.' I thought

"Okay, Aunty. Go, it's getting late. Bye"

"Okay, then" The old couple left.

I turned back to get the answer from the receptionist.

"Ma'am, Mr Park Min Jun's dead body is taken by his family around an hour ago." The receptionist lady answered politely.

It hurt me to hear the lady telling my Min Jun a dead body.

But I had to control my emotion.

"Can you tell me where they took him?"

"No, ma'am. I am afraid not. They are our VVIP so we cannot disclose their information. I am sorry ma'am"

"It's okay. It's your job."

'They must have taken him to Park Family Mansion.'

" Can you help me to call someone?"

My phone, money, was in the restaurant. I forgot to bring anything.

"Sure, ma'am"

I gave her a number and asked her to say the person on call to come here as fast as she can.

I waited for my secretory, Mrs Lee.

I saw a couple going out of the hospital, carrying a big belly. Both were looking so happy.

"Honey, what do you want to eat? Tell me, I will cook you anything you want." The man asked his wife.

"Umm, Let me think, Steak, broccoli, tons of ice cream and you... hehehe" His wife joked.

"Sure, honey" The man kissed his wife nape.

....flashback...

"Babe, I was thinking we should set a goal on how many children we are going to have within 5 years of our marriage" Min Jun shouted from the living room.

"Why? " I said coming out of my bedroom.

He pulled me to sit beside him and placed my head on his lap. He slowly combed my hair with his fingers.

"Just tell how much we should have. 5?? 1 every year. no wait we need twins too right, let's go with 7. Two pairs of twin. Okay??" He asked smiling. Imagining our life with our children.

"What?? Am I a baby generating machine? By the way, why suddenly you talking about children?"

"Oh my, I forgot that your body also needs rest. What should we plan? one every two years??" He asked raising his eyebrows playfully.

"Stupid. You are not answering my question just talking rubbish. First, answer me, then I will say" I said looking at him from his lap.

"umm... actually" He rubbed his neck.

"Actually.."

"Actually, my friend, John. You know?"

"yes, him then?"

"A week ago, his wife gave birth to a baby girl. So, he was flaunting, me, talking about how cute his daughter is and stuff. So... " His face had turned red.

"So, you got jealous...hahaha" I laughed so hard.

"No, I mean... yes" He looked away from me in embarrassment.

"What are you, guys? 5 yrs old?..hahaha"

"Aww... my babe is so cute when he gets embarrassed." I pinched his cheeks.

"then why are you setting deadline to have children," I asked curiously.

"So that I can plan," he said seriously.

"Plan what??"

"After marriage how many times we should do to get you pregnant? Should I take leave or not? or How many times we should go for honeymoon?" He winked.

My face turned red. "You, you, you pervert" I took a cushion thrown at him.

.....

I smiled remembering the past.

"Young Miss" I heard someone calling me. I looked up and saw my secretory.

"You came," I said without showing my emotion

"Yes, Young Miss. I heard about Mr Park. I'm sorry about your loss" She bowed.

"Hah... why are you apologising? Help me find out where his family has taken him." I said coldly.

"Yes, young miss. I will bring the car" She turned around to leave.

"Wait, Pay for my medical bills and set me here as VVIP patient," I said then turned to look other direction.

"Yes, Young Miss"

10 minutes later,

Inside the car,

"I am sure someone is behind his accident. I want you to investigate thoroughly." I ordered her then turned around to look outside the window.

"Yes, young miss."

A few minutes later,

"Young miss" She looked at me through the front mirror.

"Yes," I said.

"Where to??"

"I mean, your house or .."

"Take me to his house," I said with a neutral face.

"Yes"

........

Half an hour later,

"Young miss, we arrive"

"I know"

I came out of the car. I looked up to find his apartment at night.

If it was usual day then this time around, they would have had their dinner and might be cuddling with each other or working.

I entered his apartment. Looked around to find his trace.

Within this past few hours, my whole world turned upside down.

To whom should I say my problems, my frustrations?

Who will pat me when I will get a new deal as a new CEO?

I looked around everywhere. Every little corner of this house has our memories. I just couldn't bear to look around. I ran towards the storeroom and hid there.

I didn't have anyone to share my loss. I can't even cry in front of anyone. I can't share emotions with anyone.

This was the only place where I used to live a normal person in his embrace. But now, it gives me nostalgia.

"Why? Why did you leave? Don't you know I can never be happy without you? Why did you tell me to be happy, to move on? Do you really think I will move on? No way." I murmured to myself.

"ha...I am alone again like was before I met him."

Who said I am successful? I am a failure, I fail to return his love. Fail to make him my first priority. Today I have everything but I don't have him. I felt empty inside.

I went inside storeroom so that I will not get haunted by our memories. No one can know my pain, my loss here.

I sat in the corner of the room, pulling my knees together. Putting my head on it.

'Cry, Na-Ra, Cry. Nobody is here now for you to comfort. Today is the only chance you have.'

I cried as hard as I could for the whole night. I didn't realise when I slept, woke up when sun rays hit my face.

"Umm.. babe close the curtain. It's disturbing" I called.

No reply came. No kiss came. No good morning came.

"huh.. babe, why are you not answering?" I opened my eyes to find him, only realising that he is no more, now. He left me alone.

Tears build up in my eyes. I hurriedly close my eyes to control my tears.

'No, Na-Ra. No tears. Be brave.'

I got up from the floor and went to the guest bathroom to freshen up. Because I know if I go to our bedroom, I will not be able to hold myself together.

Inside the bathroom, I look myself in the mirror. My face had turned paled. My eyes were swollen. I looked like the lost 10 pounds in one day. I was still wearing the same dress since yesterday.

I shook my head to come back. I quickly washed my face and looked at the apartment for the last time before wearing my heels.

"Knock, Knock"

I heard someone knocking at the door.
