Part 6 [ Do you like me Riki? ]

When Hannah collapsed,many nurses and doctors came to pick her up. Soon after,she woke up to see herself on the hospital bed next to Riki. She saw Riki standing right next to her bed and looking at her.

Riki: Hannah are you okay? What happened?

Hannah: Oh hi Riki! I don't really know. I saw something and my head started hurting and i got dizzy so i fainted. The doctors and nurses probably brought me here.

Riki: Oh alright. But are you okay now?

Hannah: Now i am. What about you? Are you feeling better?

Riki: Yeah i am. I'm going to get discharged tomorrow.

Hannah: Oh alright. Don't worry about me. You should rest on your bed.

Riki: Alright. If you need any help,just ask me. I'm going to sleep.

Hannah: Alright Riki. Sleep well.

Riki smiled at Hannah and went to sleep. While Riki was sleeping,
Hannah could not stop staring at Riki.

Hannah,talking to herself: No way...
How could one look so beautiful while sleeping?

Hannah sighed and decided to give Jenny a call.

Jenny: Hey Hannah what's up? Have you confesses to him? Tell me EVERYTHING.

Hannah: I haven't confessed to him yet. We are both hospitalized right now.

Jenny: WHAT?! WHY?!

Hannah: It's a long story.Anyways,I don't know if i should confess to him or not.

Jenny: It's up to you Hannah. Just dont waste your chances. I hope you and Riki get well soon.

Hannah: Thanks. I think i'm going to confess to him once he wakes up.

Jenny: Alright. Tell me what happens after. Bye! Fighting!!

Hannah: Haha okay. Bye!

Then,Hannah and Jenny hung up the phone call. Hannah turned to look at Riki. He finally woke up.

Riki: Hey Hannah! You didn't sleep?

Hannah: Oh um...I didn't feel sleepy.

Riki: Oh okay.

Hannah,taking a deep breath in: Hey Riki...

Riki: Yeah?

Hannah: I have something to tell you.

Riki: Hmm?

Hannah: I like you.

Riki,flabbergasted; Oh um i-

Hannah,smiling: I don't know why but you make me feel safe. It's really nice to finally have a friend. I'm not going to lie. I don't just like you but I have fallen for you. You are one of the best people I have ever met Riki.What do you think of me?

Riki was shocked and froze to the spot. He didn't expect a confession at a hospital.

Riki: Hannah,I think you an amazing,beautiful and a lovely person but...

Hannah,smiling: Yeah?

Riki: I'm sorry. I can't date you.

Hannah's smile turned into a frown.

Hannah: Wait what?Why?...

Riki: I like someone else. I have been looking for her for the past few years. I always wait for her at the same spot but she has not come so far. She was my first and only love. I believe she will finally reunite with me again after a long time.

Hannah,trying to calm down: Oh... Okay. It's fine. It's totally fine. I understand. Can we still be friends?

Riki: Yeah of course! I'm really sorry.

Hannah: It's alright don't worry. Anyways,maybe I can help you find her.

Riki: Really? You would do that fir me?

Hannah: Yeah. Anything for a friend.

Riki's face lit up. He got up from his bed and gave Hannah a hug.

Riki: Thanks so much Hannah! This  means a lot to me!

Hannah,holding in her tears: No problem...
