8. Marriage Certificate

We headed up to their car. Kelvin laid Kelly on the backseat and took the driver's seat. Alex sat on the passenger and I sat in the backseat. I looked at Kelly she was still bleeding heavily.

" Take this." Kelvin said, handing a kerchief to me. I took it and pressed it on Kelly's head, on her wound. Kelvin drove to the hospital and a doctor hurriedly came to check on Kelly. He admitted her to an emergency ward while we were waiting outside the ward.

After an hour of waiting in the hospital corridor, the ward's door open and the doctor came out. I stood up and walked up to him with hopeful eyes.

" Nothing to worry about. She is fine now. I dressed her wound. She will regain her consciousness after some time. Thank you. Now excuse me." The doctor notified us about her condition then left. After he was gone, I entered the ward followed by Alex and then Kelvin.

She was laid on the hospital bed, her eyes closed. I then realized that I have Kelly's blood on my white top but I didn't care for it right now. I didn't want to leave Kelly until she regains her consciousness. I turned to Alex.

" Thank you for today. It's late now. You should go. I'll be here with Kelly." I said.

"Ok. Call me if you need me. Here's my card." Alex said, handed me his card, and left with Kelvin.

Today was really a tiring day. I took a stool and sat beside Kelly's bed. She was still unconscious. It was already 5 o'clock. I texted my father that I won't be coming home tonight and turned off my phone, putting it down. After an hour or so I also fell asleep resting my head on the side table.

.

I woke up when I heard Kelly's voice calling me.

" Anna, wake up. " she said, shaking my shoulder. I rubbed my eyes.

" Kelly, are you alright?" I asked her worried.

" Yes, I'm fine. What about you?" she said.

I told her everything that happened after she got unconscious.

There was a click sound and the ward's door opened to reveal Alex's and Kelvin's face.

Wow!!! What a beautiful start of the day.

" What are you doing here." I asked them.

" To give you your Marriage certificate." he said and my eyes got widened hearing him. What did he mean by that? After a second I saw Kelvin suppressing his laughter and realized that he was making fun of me.

" What a bad joke." I said annoyed.

" You were asking a stupid question. Of course , We are here to visit a patient." Alex remarked. Kelvin stepped forward and handed a bouquet to Kelly.

" Thanks for yesterday and for this too." she said smiling up at him and he just nodded his head and walked out from the ward.

" Did something happened to him?" I asked Alex who was looking at the door from where Kelvin just went out.

" No, nothing. I will talk to him later." he said turning his gaze away from the door to me. I looked directly into his eyes. It was black same as his hair, dense like forest where one could get lost if stared for too long.

" Ahem! Ahem!"

I got my senses back when Kelly fake coughed from behind.

" Well I didn't mean to disturb you guys but if you two will get intimate here, my single soul won't be able to handle it." she said and started giggling.

" Shut up Kelly!!" I said and stared at her wide-eyed. Kelly is really a child. Always spouting nonsense in front of others.

" This is for you." Alex said, handing me a paper bag.

" What is it?" I asked him.

" See it yourself." he said and I opened the packet to look what's inside. It contained a white crop top. Not exactly what I was wearing right now but almost the same.

" Why are you giving it to me?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow.

" Because yours is ruined and you can't go out like that or else people will think you are coming after murdering someone. And, by the way, you were looking beautiful yesterday in this top." he complimented me and I blushed.

" Thanks." I said to him.

"I'll get going then. Take care. " Alex said. We said goodbye to each other and he left.(probably with his brother. I don't know.)

" He is so nice Anna. Perfect for you ." Kelly said loudly near my ear.

" Don't shout Kelly! And there's nothing like what you are thinking. He and me are poles apart. Never made to be together." I said and continued-"When is your college starting ?"

" After the summer holiday ends, it will open from the second week of June. I have to clear my early dues right now . " she said with a soft sigh. "Anyway, you shouldn't worry about that. Tell me about yourself and Mr. Wilson ." she said grinning ear to ear.

" You 18-years old punk. Stop thinking nonsense and rest. I should go now. See you soon."

With this I left the ward. I first changed my top in the hospital's bathroom, then left the hospital, grabbed a taxi, and went home.

Rest of the five days passed with nothing special. I stayed in my room reading, writing, eating, doing the rest of the chores and sometimes giving a look at my upcoming interview at Star corporation for the president's assistant post.

.

Finally the day of interview came. I woke up at 6.30 a.m. and took a bath to freshen up. I dried my hair and made loose curls at the end and made a high ponytail. I chose to wear a formal dress for the interview, hence, I picked black pants and a coat with a white shirt. I put on my black heels grabbed some breakfast and was ready to depart at 9 o'clock.

I easily got a taxi and in half an hour I had arrived at the gate of Star Corporation. It was a tall building made of glass. By just looking at it, anyone could tell that it is grand in there. I took a deep breath and stepped inside, not knowing that my life would completely change from this day.
