FORTY FOUR: CONFRONTATION

[SHAIRA's POINT OF VIEW]

"I'm sorry. I'm caught up in an emergency! Can we move it to tomorrow?"

"Why? Emergency?" I wonder what happened. We've been friends since elementary. That's why I'm sure there's something significant that she needed to attend.

What could it be?!

"Yes! I need to go to the ICU..." Hera replied.

I could have interrupted if only Hera had not continued her statement. She said,"...he took me out on a date, and it's making my heart in an abnormal state."

I can see how delighted she is, so I'm also happy for her. It's hard to get a date for the two of them since she's busy with court papers while her husband is a professional doctor in a very well-known hospital.

"Enjoy that opportunity. Hmm... what about bearing another twin?" I replied, and I heard her chuckle from the other line.

"Bye, take care...promise we're going to enjoy it! Best friend, ciao."
