Purple Romance

Carlien and Paige walked out of the emergency room and went to the coffee vending machine to get a cup of coffee each. They saw Jessi inside the therapy room, she was chatting with Professor Glow. Based on the smiles on her face, they seemed to be discussing something fun.

''Professor Glow is so good with children. He and Jessi hit it off pretty well'' Carlien said as she took the first cup of coffee Paige had taken from the machine.

''I think Jessi is having fun here, even more than we thought she would''

''Has Jordan said anything yet about the investigation?''

''No, because it is an accident that happened a few years ago, getting the evidence won't be that easy, coupled with the fact that it is a discrete investigation. If Yvonne finds out that Jordan is suspecting her, do you think she will take it lying low? That woman isn't that simple'' Paige and Carlien walked towards the therapy room.

''Why are there so many evil people in the world. They just do the worse kind of things and then blame it on innocent people''

''Everything will be fine in due time. Nothing stays hidden forever and everyone will pay a price for what they do, go or bad'' Paige said and patted Carlien's back affectionately.

As they entered the therapy room, a young man who was hiding at a distance came out. He was the same person that was asked to get rid of 'the Young Miss'. He was now in a doctor's scrub with a coat on it and a stethoscope around his neck. He followed them inside the therapy room.

''Jessi, Professor Glow, what are you two doing?'' Paige asked as they stood next to Jessi. She had a few puzzle pieces in her hands while looking at the rest of the pieces fixed on the table.

''Big sis, I was playing puzzle with Professor Nicholas. He promised to give me something when I complete this task'' Jessi pointed at the puzzle pieces as she said.

''That sounds like fun. What are you going to ask for when you win?'' Paige squatted to her level.

''I don't know yet, but I will think about it''

''Luis, come in, let me introduce you to my two geniuses'' Professor Glow said to the young man at the door and he walked inside with a smile. Paige and Carlien looked at him.

''Hi'' Cassaz said to them.

''Hi''

''Hi''

''This is Luis Cassaz. He is third year resident transferred here from Country A''

''Country A?'' Carlien asked and looked at the young man. She remembers seeing something about that country in her mother's diary and her mother had warned her from her early years never to say or ask any questions about that country. Seeing someone from the country she believed, she came from but could never get to go there, she had a lot of emotions in her eyes.

''Yes, Country A'' Cassaz said and stared at her face closely. She really did resemble her birth mother.

''You are welcome. We are first year residence here'' Paige said and shook his hand.

''Luis will be your mentor. He has a lot of potential and talent in him. You should learn a lot from him since you will be spending a lot of time together''

''I could teach a thing or two to a General and Anesthetic student like Miss Arthur but I doubt I can teach a cardiac and thoracic specialist like Miss Payin''

''How did you know our names?'' Carlien asked and looked at him. Though he was new and they had just met, she couldn't help but be wary of the people from Country A according to her mother's words. Country A was a military owned state, its governance and lawmakers were all from the military family that ruled over them for many years.

''I saw your names from the workers' portfolio. You two are very close to Professor Glow, so it's not so difficult to get information about you from the front desk'' Cassaz said and smiled.

''Right, we still have something to work on, right Carlien?'' Paige said and touched Carlien's hand. She had noticed the uncomfortable glare her best friend was giving to the new doctor.

''Ah?''

''The CT scan, I need to explain it to you. Have you forgotten?'' Paige said and started to pull Carlien out, ''see you around Dr. Luis, bye Jessi, Professor Glow, later''

''Miss Arthur doesn't seem to like me?'' Cassax said to Professor Glow after the duo left.

''Carly is a lovable person, she just doesn't welcome strangers that's all'' Jessi said and looked at Cassax, ''may I just let you be aware that she has a boyfriend? You were looking at her a little too much''

''You are quite a straightforward kid'' Cassaz said to her.

''I hear that a lot''

''Jessi, Dr. Luis here will be the one operating on your legs after the end of our therapy, be respectful''

''Sure, Professor''

…..

Pulling Carlien to a corner, Paige looked at Carlien and asked, ''hey what's wrong with you? You were hostile towards that man''

''I'm sorry Paige, I don't know what came over me. When he mentioned Country A, I just remembered how my mom flee from there and we had to relocate every time. I don't have a good feeling about the people from there''

''I understand hearing anything about Country A makes you uncomfortable but you should know that not everyone from there is a bad person?''

''Okay, I overreacted. I will apologize to him later, are we good?''

''You and I can never go wrong, let's go''

....

Mirabel stretched her fingers as sat in front of her computer. Placing her fingers on the keyboard, she smirked saying, ''today, you are dead meat 'My lonely heart beats for you' this 'dancing in the sky' is going to make you run to your mother in tears''

She was playing a new game which was launched a few months ago. The game was quite challenging but after many years of playing games, Mirabel could boast of having a natural talent in killing the beasts in the game and collecting a lot of rare objects and materials to equip her character and make it stronger. In this game, her character's name was 'dancing in the sky' and she has thrashed a lot of people online with her keyboard skills and competitive nature of winning but, a new character popped up a month ago calling himself 'my lonely heart beats for you' and has been winning a lot of rare objects and jumping ranks with his skills.

Mirabel was beyond angry when she realized that her territory had been evaded by this so called 'my lonely heart beats for you'. He was just a newbie, what gave him the guts to challenge her? The last time, she was on the verge of thrashing him and making him call her Baba until Laura's call came making her to get kicked out by that 'my lonely heart beats for you'.

Now that she was out of the hospital and was doing alright, she intended to teach that rascal a lesson by killing him over and over again until he surrenders and pays homage to her. If she couldn't do this, then, she wouldn't be able to lift her head as the queen in the gaming world. A lot of people were looking up to her, she couldn't disappoint them, or the joke would be on her.

Looking at her screen, she saw that a lot of people had gathered to watch her legendary fight with 'my lonely heart beats for you'. She had invited him for a one on one fight and this was the said date that she had proposed. Even though 'my lonely heart beats for you' didn't give her a reply, it meant he neither agreed nor refuted but she had planned everything out already. After sending the invite out, she had informed everyone of her disciples and that of 'my lonely heart beats for you' disciples. She had used her resources in the game to make sure that everyone heard of the fight which she dubbed 'fight of the century'.

If 'my lonely heart beats for you' didn't show up, it will mean that he was surrendering to her which wasn't a bad thing, but if he showed up, she would fight him with all her might. Even if she couldn't win… wait, she shook her head dismissing that thought. She couldn't allow herself to think of defeat right now. She should have her fighting spirit on and teach that rascal a lesson.

It has already been more than 20 minutes since she arrived at the venue and still that rascal 'my lonely heart beats for you' hasn't made an appearance. Was he admitting defeat already? She began to gloat and walked about in her ancient Egyptian empress robe as she listened to the murmuring of the people.

'Skewed worm rings': Look, 'dancing in the sky' has been here for quite some time now and yet 'my lonely heart beats for you' hasn't made an appearance. Is he scared that a girl would beat him up?

'Killing me softly': Our 'dancing in the sky' shouldn't be taken lightly. She always acts on her words. That newbie 'my lonely heart beats for you' always acts like he knows everything. Now that our 'dancing in the sky' has challenged him, he dared to not appear. He is scared, I tell you.
