Chapter 3

Eros's Pov

When I opened my eyes, a light from the white ceiling hits my eyes. I looked around, I saw a lot of apparatus beside me. I removed the breathing tube that gives oxygen on my nose. I felt my head ache when I sat on the hospital bed. I hold it for a seconds because it makes me feel dizzy. When I recover, I looked for my phone.

I turned my sight to the door when it suddenly opened. A doctor and a nurse came into my room, followed by our butler. I look for my parents if they're here also, but I got disappointed when our butler closed the door and came near me.

"Good morning sir," our butler greeted.

I just nod at her.

The nurse came next to me and checked me, after that she checked the machine beside me. The doctor is explaining something but I didn't listen. After he explained some reminders to my butler, he left us on my room.

"Where's mom and dad?" I asked to our butler.

"Uh, they have a business trip in Canada." she said sparingly.

A business trip? Really? I'm already in the hospital but they still put their company first.

"Since when?" I asked.

"Yesterday sir. They will go home the next day." Our butler said. I looked at her again and asked some questions. "How many days have I been unconscious?"

"Two days' sir." She answered.

"Did they visit me here?" I asked. I'm wondering if they visit me here while I was sleeping.

"No sir, their schedule is so strict sir. So, your mom told me to come over here." She explained.

I sighed. They didn't even bother to visit me here huh? Even just for an hour or a minutes, I will still be glad to it even they visit me just for a second too. I bit my lips to stop my tears from falling. I'm a man now, I shouldn't be crying.

I heard our butler coughed.

"I'll have to go sir. I need to take care of your house because your parents will come home in the next day. I'm going to send one of the maids to watch over you."

I just ignored her and looked for my phone.

"Do you want to send something?" she asked.

"Nothing. Do you know where's my phone?" I asked.

"Your mom took it."

Tch, once my mom took my phone, it means I'm grounded. I just nod at her, after that he finally leave me alone.

Silence.

I could hear the sound of the hospital apparatus beside my bed. I get out of the bed and go to the window. I opened the curtains and look at those buildings down.

The road is full of vehicles, on the other side of the road there's a lot of people walking with their friends, and some are walking alone, there's also some beggars that are begging for money or foods.

I saw from a far, a happy family enters a fast food restaurant, they are laughing at each other.

I smiled sadly.

I never experienced that thing since I was a kid. My parents are always busy. They saw our company to grow so successful but they never saw me to grow as a man. I'm on my 20's but I never experienced the love from my parents. I always do trouble to catch their attention.

I remembered when I was on my 7th grade, I punched my classmate on his face. That's when I heard my mom's first yell at me. I was so happy that time that finally, she noticed her son but still I'm longing for my parents' love and care for me.

While I was reminiscing, I heard the door bang loudly and after that I heard Calyx voice.

"Yo Eros! How's your feeling?' he asked worriedly. He was holding a basket full of fruits and smiling awkwardly to me.

"You're so noisy Calyx, can you please lower down your voice?" I said in a sarcastic tone.

"Dude, you're my friend, aren't you get used to it?" He asked while holding his chest as if he get hurt.

He looked stupid at that.

"Lmao, stop doing that. You look like a hurt toad." Louie said when he and Harry entered my room.

We laughed when he said that to Calyx. Harry took the basket full of fruits from Calyx and he put it on the side table. He sat at my hospital bed, "I didn't know that they can bring you down, dude." He teased.

"They are three and I'm just alone! Thanks to you, dude." I looked at Calyx and said it with a sarcastic tone.

"Lol, I really don't know that they will start a fight with you and beside I thought Louie was there." Calyx explained.

"Louie go outside to take a call but he never came back, Tch" I said irritated.

"Dude, I came back but when I came back I saw you laying on the ground while Calyx is punching those bastard, lol." He said while laughing a bit.

Calyx laughed too. I glared at them causing them to stop laughing.

"Come on, Harry banned those guys on her bar and when your strength came back, we'll going to make them pay." Calyx said in a serious tone.

"I will really get back to those jerk and punched them till they beg."

A few minutes had passed, we are laughing the whole time we're talking about that incident on Harry's bar. I also call our maid using the telephone on the hospital to not to come here anymore because my friends arrived. Good thing she agreed easily, she said she will just picked me up tomorrow.

I got shocked when the jerk Harry brought a vodka. Good thing my nurses doesn't need to go to my room for checking. Louie and Calyx go out for a minute to buy snacks on the nearest store outside. When they get back, we started to drink the vodka. They stayed at the hospital till the dark came. Our loud voices occupied the whole room.

I suddenly forget about my careless parents. I suddenly forget that I'm a lonely guy. Having a friend like them is a blessing. All I do the whole day is laugh with them. It's already 9 in the evening when they left my room, it was full of clutter. The silence embrace my whole room again.

I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling. I had fun today but there's still a missing piece on my heart. I'll get discharge tomorrow yet my parents didn't even bother to visit me or call me.
