☄ THREE ☄

Anastasia was surprised to see someone unknown in the same room with her and was sitting near her.

"Oh, I am very sorry. My name is Dean, Dean Pitchford." introduced the guy. Anastasia was more dumbstruck when she never heard of someone with the name Dean.

"And why are you here? Do I know you?" asked Anastasia.

"No, you don't. You remember what had happened this morning right?" asked Dean. All of the scene from the morning came gushing over Anastasia's bandaged head. She felt pain on her head as she tried to remember all of the thing.

"Am I still alive? Am I in heaven now?" Anastasia asked dumbly, while holding on tight to her head. Dean laughed by Anastasia funny question.

"No you are not. Don't worry. You are in the hospital now. I was the on who drove the car this morning and I accidentally hit you." said Dean felt bad that he put someone's live in danger.

"Hah! It was you. Don't you know that you were in kindergarten area which means that you almost hit those innocent kids just because of your stupid act?" asked Anastasia in rage as Dean doesn't show any regret on his face.

"Okay, look. I am very sorry. It's just I was in rage and took a lot of drink that is why. I was not in my mind at that time and did something I shouldn't have." said Dean.

"Ngeh, as long as those kids are fine. Just don't do it again next time. Can you tell me why were you so mad while you were driving?" despite the anger that built in her, Anastasia asked out of concerned.

"It's because my dad force me to marry this one girl that were the daughter of his bestfriend. I don't want to because I want to find someone that I want to love genuinely and marry her. Not with someone I don't even know who." Dean told Anastasia his matter just like they have known each other long.

"Rich people problem. My sister also facing the same thing. I think those type of parent should stop putting their nose in money. I mean like, shouldn't we, as their child, have our own happiness. My sister also don't want to marry the person my dad asked her to." said Anastasia when she remembered her sister's sad face because of the same reason as Dean.

"Wait, does that mean your father is same as mine? I mean like thier job, the CEO the company?" asked Dean getting more excited in their conversation.

"Yeah, but, I ran away from my house. My dad once told me to marry the man that he chose, with the reason that he want to expand our family company. That is when I am tired to listen to him that I ran away. I move out from the house with nothing and that is when I met with my new family, the kindergarten." said Anastasia. Dean felt bad that he was not the only one who going through that kind of thing. There is other person whose going through it much more worse than he did.

"Sorry to hear that. But, that was brave of you. If it were me, I don't think I can survive my life." said Dean and sighing.

"But, you know what. I don't think that there will be any problem if you got married with the girl. Instead you can start loving her when you guys are married." Anastasia advice Dean and that leave a faint smile on Dean's handsome face.

"Yeah, you are right. I think I should just go on with my dad's plan. If it not working, I will just get divorced right? That is the purpose of arrange marriage right?" Dean said to make himself better. The rest of the day, they told about themselves towards each other. Getting to know better, they had become as good as a friend.

"So, guess I have to go now. I will come back tomorrow with a delicious breakfast for you." said Dean and took his jacket that were hang on the chair. Anastasia bid her farewell and Dean walked away from the room with a big smile on his face. He had never felt that happy, telling his problem to the person he just met freely, not scared that the person might not keep it, because he trust Anastasia.

'I want to meet you again tomorrow.' Dean said to himself while walking to the car park.

The next morning, Dean woke up super early in the morning, getting excited to meet Anastasia who he thought that she was waiting for him.

With a big smile, he get in the kitchen to grab some food that were made by his maid, he greet the maid.

"Morning!"

The maid was so surprised to see their young master was so happy like that. They just greet him back awkwardly.

With a humming, he put the food in the container box carefully. After that he immediately went to the hospital to meet Anastasia.

It felt like he almost want to dancing, he walked to Anastasia as quick as he can and opened the door.

"Rise and shine. Good morning." shouted Dean loudly. All of the people in the hospital looked at him like he was some sort of lunatic, but he, he doesn't care at all, because it was not something that he should care.

He was surprised to see some nurse were tidying up Anastasia bed. He walked out of the room to see the room's number, thinking that he might went on the wrong room as he was so happy. But it was the same room with the same number.

"Sorry, but where is the patient here? She was here yesterday." asked Dean worriedly.

"Oh, that patient. She went home yesterday night. The doctor told her to be here at least two days, but she didn't want to. So the doctor let her go home yesterday." said the nurse. Dean almost release his hand from the food as his heart almost stopped beating.

"Okay, thank you." said Dean and walked away with a big pain in his heart.
