Chapter 5

"So, what were you doing for living?" lady Annabelle ask me before she take a sip of her coffee.

After lady Annabelle hugged me, she offer us some coffee, and while we're having our coffee, the interrogation began. They ask me little things about myself and I wonder if they didn't get bored about it.

" I was a doctor in a small clinic in hyatt, but" I smile fakely, it hurts to remember.

"But, what happened?" lady Annabelle seem a little worried, while Jas was carefully listening.

" But, the soldier in hyatt, burned our clinic," I saw Jas closed his fist, he was looking calm but deep inside, he is mad, " because they said, low people like our patient shouldn't be treated, they should have been dead, to lessen the population of Hyatt. After that we tried to built a small clinic but every time we do, the soldier still destroyed it, until we don't have money to even feed ourselves, we became beggar."

" And that's why you End up in the woods? " his voice and face were calm but their something in his mind that couldn't read. What is it? Is it anger or was it pity for people like me?

" Yeah. " I also nod.

" why didn't you reported them to the Palace of Hyatt?" the anger of Lady Annabelle showed in her voice. I could understand them, even me I'm still mad from what I been through and what those people been through.

"We couldn't, even the King were against our clinic." I bit my lower lips to stop my tears from falling. " we even beg to the king and guards and soldier, but we just accept laughter and harsh words from them. They didn't care for the low people like us. " and now I couldn't take it. My tears flow freely to my cheeks, I wipe it, but their still a lot of tears coming from my eyes.

Lady Annabelle seated beside me and hugged me again, he pat my back.

" why they're even doing that?" Lady Annabelle said in her small voice, she was like whispering, but you could still hear it.

"Maybe their royal clinic was not gaining profit. The royal clinic would cost a lot but your small clinic would be affordable for the poor. They wouldn't have customer if their were clinic like yours." He was looking at the window, he was avoiding to see her cry because of the things she been through. How he hope she was their for her on that day. He might have helped her.

" You should sleep now, Jewel. Don't think about it. Tomorrow is another greatest day to come." she smiled at me before she let go of me from her hug. They stood up and left me alone. I still cried after they left. I just couldn't forget it. After hours of crying, I got tired and I felt asleep on the sofa.

I saw fire, I heard people scream and I feel the burn in my arms. Our clinic was burning and patients were coming out from there were screaming, some of them have burned the different parts of their body. I ran to some of them to help them. And then I saw five soldiers who were just laughing.

"If you just listen to us, this wouldn't have happened." the old soldier said before he laugh hard again.

I suddenly opened my eyes and I found a hand on my cheek, I looked beside me, it was Jas.

"Are you alright?" I can see from his eyes that he was worried.

"I'm fine just a bad dream." I smiled on him, even though I felt that my hands were shaking. "By the way, what are you doing here at this hour?" I looked to the clock and its 10 o'clock. I only slept in 3 hours.

"I was just going to check if you were sleeping already and I saw you here and I came close as I saw that you were having a bad dream." he was trying to lie but he was bad at it, so I just laugh. "Why are you laughing?" he straightly look at me trying to figure out what's funny.

"You look funny when you lied." and I continue to laugh but he just gave me a mere smirk.

" This is my first time lying, so I guess I am really kinda bad at it." and I continue to laugh harder, what kind of person is this who never used lying instead of now, but why would be he lying? "Oh! C'mon, stop laughing already."

I stop laughing after minutes of laughing. "Sorry for laughing so hard."

"No its okay."

"By the way, how long can I stay here?"

"As long as you want." and he gave me that damn cute smile which making my heart flattered.

"Then can you help me find a job here? Please! ", I came closer and closer to him, "please!" I held his hand.

Jas seem to be shocked as I held his hand.

"Yeah, sure." he didn't looked at me. "I'll see what I can do," he was just looking at our hands.

"OH! YES!" and I jump and jump. I need to get ready. I need to be good at this job so I can stay here.

Jas was astonished by her childish act. He secretly smiled. He know he find the one. The one who can help him and the one whom can make things better and the one who can love him with all of her heart.
