Second Chances

I'm Busy

"What?!" Hana yelled at the phone. The person in the other line hung up. Hana turned her phone off, "Waste my time, why don't you?"

Nico walks in her sister's office, "Whoa! Someone's stress..."

Hana slumped down rubbing her temples, "Can you grab my Advil?"

Nico went through the small backpack, "I swear you and mom have the same crap in your bag..."

Hana frowns, "Like you don't..."

Nico huffed and brought out a curling iron out of the bag, "Who the fuck has a curling iron in their bag?"

Hana looks at her sister; confused, "Mom has a curling iron in her purse?"

"Well, no... not exactly." Nico admits, "She has a straightener..."

"The Advil?" Hana impatiently asked.

Nico, once again, dug her hand in the bag; fishing out the small pill bottle and handing it to her sister, "Here."

"Thanks." Hana took two pills and drank water.

28 minutes later, Hana stood up. "What can I do for you?"

"'What's got you all stressed out?" Nico questions.

"Aunt Maria called ten times, today," Hana explained, "about Wealthy Eligible Asian Bachelors for me to meet..."

"Yikes, that is stressful." Nico agreed.

"When will she give up?" Hana whined.

"Once you tie the knot." Nico joked.

"Oh haha!" Hana sarcastically exclaims, "So, why are you here?"

"Mom wants to know if you could take care of dad while he's sick..."

"Why doesn't she?" Hana retorts.

"She's at work." Nico sighs.

Hana suggested, "Why don't you?"

"Because I don't want to." Nico plainly said.

"Well, I'm busy..." Hana sighs.

"Are you telling me that your father- the man who took care of you, made you- is sick and you can't take the time to take care of him?" Nico dramatically said.

Hana chuckles, "Are you telling me that our father is sick and your too busy doing nothing to aid him at his hour of need?"

Nico frowns, "I hate you..."

Hana smiles, "Bye, Nico."
