Gibson and Calista returned to Gibson's hospital room. After visiting his mother, who was still being treated, Gibson appeared slightly calmer and happier, especially when he saw the connection between Calista and his mother. They seemed close and genuinely fond of each other.Gibson changed his clothes and sat on his bed while Calista was preparing some apples for him."Thank you," Gibson said, gazing at Calista with warmth."This isn't even all of them. Why are you thanking me now?" Calista asked, thinking Gibson was thanking her for peeling the apples."Not for that.""Not for these apples?""Yes.""Then what are you thanking me for? I feel like I haven't done anything except peel these apples," Calista asked, puzzled."Because you were kind to my mother. It seems like she really likes you," Gibson said with a broad smile, clearly delighted with the situation. Calista placed all the peeled apples on a plate, speared a fork into a piece, and handed it to Gibson.He accepted it and t
Gibson released his embrace and carried all of his belongings from the room, leaving Calista still stunned in her place due to Gibson's actions.Shortly after, Gibson returned and snapped Calista out of her daze."Not going home? Are you comfortable here?" Gibson asked."No, let's go home now," Calista replied, following Gibson's steps.In the parking lot, Gibson and Calista argued over who would drive the car."I should drive; you're still not feeling well," Calista said to Gibson, who had already taken his car keys and opened the back door to put his bag."I've already recovered, you heard what the doctor said. So, I'll drive. Besides, you seem tired," Gibson said, opening the passenger door and gesturing for Calista to get in with a playful look."What do you mean? I'm not tired at all," Calista protested, frustrated that Gibson wasn't listening to her."Your face has been red all this time. Or do you want to go back and have the doctor check you again?" Gibson teased, rendering Ca
The late night didn't keep Gibson and Calista from enjoying themselvesThe gust of wind that came in through the glass of the car window, made Calista who was currently sitting beside Gibson, take a deep breath and let it out slowly, breathing in the air that was so refreshing after a few days in the hospital.From the way Calista inhaled the air, made Gibson know if the woman was currently enjoying the breeze that was indeed so cool without pollution, considering they were currently traveling in a pollution-free area."It's like you haven't had a breath of fresh air in weeks," mocked Gibson who took a quick glance at Calista and refocused his gaze forward.Calista who got such an insinuation certainly felt unacceptable, she also turned her body around and looked sharply at the man who was currently driving."You think being in the hospital for a few days won't make me bored? If it wasn't you lying there weak, I probably wouldn't care."Calista immediately turned her face to the side,
Gibson has been in the cafe for a while now. He tries to look around, but the person he made an appointment with still hasn't shown up.Gibson lets out a sigh. This isn't the first time it's happened, considering the first encounter with the woman he's waiting for. She's his partner in teaching someone.But, just like before, she's late."How much longer do I have to wait?"Gibson, tired of waiting, complains. The stitches on his abdomen haven't fully healed yet, but he's here to discuss something crucial.Gibson checks the time on his wristwatch; it's 11:00 AM, but the woman is nowhere in sight.Not wanting to wait like this, Gibson takes out his phone from his pocket with the intention of contacting her."I hope she answers my call," Gibson mutters as he dials a number that has been saved in his phone for a few days.The call goes unanswered the first time. Gibson sighs, frustrated that she's ignoring his call."What's so difficult about answering the phone?" Gibson grumbles, annoye
Gibson was taken aback as he watched Calista once again avoiding him. Last night, she refused to speak with him after returning from the restaurant, and now she was ignoring him."Darn, what's going on with her?" he thought.Feeling that he couldn't let this go, Gibson, who had been contemplating his encounter with Almeta's sister, stood up and went after Calista.Luckily, Calista hadn't entered her car yet, making it easy for Gibson to stop her."What's happening, Calista?" Gibson held Calista's hand and made her turn to face him.Calista sighed and tried to pull her hand away forcefully. "I'm fine, I'm just in a hurry. I should leave now."It was impossible for something not to be wrong with Calista, and that made Gibson not trust her words.Gibson got into the car as he realized Calista was about to leave without him. Calista rolled her eyes lazily, annoyed that Gibson was following her."What's your problem, Gibson? I have business outside; you should get out now," Calista said, g
Calista was still engrossed in the feud between Kiara, Hans and Kiara's mother. She smiled contentedly at the rare event that would never happen twice. Somehow Calista was able to direct her car to pass the apartment where Hans, Kiara and Kiara's parents lived.The anger Calista felt because of Gibson's words last night, made Calista not want to speak at all, let alone see his face. But, seeing this incident made Calista want to quickly meet with Gibson and tell him everything she saw at this time.Even if Calista could borrow Doraemon's door to anywhere, she wanted to open that door and pull Gibson out of the house to witness firsthand Kiara's expulsion from Hans' apartment along with her parents.However, Calista knew exactly how hurt Gibson was when he was betrayed by his ex-wife and ex-boss. Gibson would have laughed out loud in satisfaction at this incident, although Calista wasn't entirely sure. Calista continued to watch their feud that was still not over.But while she was bus
Calista couldn't believe what Gibson just said. It was as if Gibson knew what Calista was going through right now. It made Calista almost shed tears and unable to speak. Gibson, who was still at home, was surprised, he could hear the sound of Calista's agitated breathing and added to his anxiety.Gibson immediately took his car keys and left the house to catch up with Calista. He still had his cell phone to his ear and asked where Calista was."Are you crying? Calista, what really happened? I've brought my car. Tell me where you are now?"Calista wiped the corners of her eyes. She tried to calm herself down. Calista looked around and searched for her current whereabouts."Who's crying? I'm... by the red light. It's so quiet here, can you come quickly?""What happened? Don't tell me you're outside the car?""Why is that?""Quickly get in the car and lock your car. Don't turn on the lights, don't open the door until I come. Hurry up!" ordered Gibson who was already crossing anxious bars
That night, the sky was clear. Instead of shining brightly, the stars were scattered to complete the beauty."It looks like it won't rain tonight."Inside the speeding black mercy, Gibson murmured softly. He occasionally looked up at the star-studded sky.Just as Gibson said, the sky seemed to want to play a trick on him. Raindrops began to fall, getting heavier and heavier.The windshield of the car began to dew. The asphalt road that the car was traveling on became invisible. Coupled with the water that began to pool."Hm... Who knew it would rain. But just a moment ago the sky was very clear."Gibson looked in the rearview mirror and saw Calista's car behind him. But a second later, the car made a turn that made Gibson frown."What the hell, Calista?"It was already 8pm. Gibson immediately turned around and followed Calista who currently parked her car right in the parking lot of a five-star hotel.Immediately Gibson got out and pulled the hand of Calista who was just about to go i
