A Glimpse of Past

Chapter 7.1

ANNA'S POV

Hello, my beloved and beautiful country! My first sentence run in my mind as I step out the door of the airport, wearing my expensive clothes bought yesterday. The humid wind that blows through me shivers my body because of excitement. I am home, unannounced, after 1 year of having vacation and hiatus in work. By the way, I am Anna Kaye Crimsoft, in mid-20s of age working as a singer-actress and CEO of my own clothing brand, Kaye-risma.

While waiting, few people asked me to take a picture with them which I delightedly willing to do.

I saw my driver, Roman, and my secretary, Lia Coralle, walking towards me. They greeted me with a slight bow and talked, synchronously, "Good afternoon, Ma'am Anna.". I smiled as I say my goodbyes to my fans.

"Where would you like to go first?", Lia asked me, while Roman get my heavy luggage from me.

"Where is she?", I asked as we walked together towards the gray BMW sedan car parked in front.

"Miss Cantle was sent in the hospital and admitted, three days ago.", she reported. I stopped. Looked at her in shock. It's getting worse. Her ability, Her anxiety attacks. Her hardships. I know them all and I feel so bad seeing her smiling but behind she's tired.

"Send me there.", I ordered and walked fast. As I reached the

~ *-* ~

At Alter Hospital.

Before I stepped out of the car, Lia stopped me and gave me the sunglass. I stared to it and sighed. My world is different from any other ordinary people. Being known, privacy is impossible to have. Lia doesn't know the reason behind the sunglasses. All she knows is to prevent people from noticing me.

I remember the time I forgot the glasses. Ayne threw a pillow to me which made me shock because it totally hit to my face. I didn't know the reason behind the sunglass at that time. I don't know the story. That incident made us fight and didn't talked for 2 days. It stopped when she came to me and told everything. She even showed it to me with my permission because she reasoned out if she'll do it, miscommunications within our friendship will be solved. She is smarter than me. I totally get it. Gosh. Don't ever judge me, humans. Her eyes lighted up and went bluer up to her pupils. After a few seconds, her cheeks became red and eyes blinks so fast. Looking at me in shock.

"You kissed Harold?!", she shouted. Harold is our classmate and in my 8th grade, we kissed for the first time but we don't have any label. He was just my fling at that time.

I looked at her in shock with my open mouth. "How did you know?", I confusing asked.

She held my hands and told everything about her ability, as well as the reason why she doesn't use it. That's the story, humans. Let's return to the present, now.

I reached the V.I.P floor and her room, I already heard their loud voices coming from the door. When I am saying their, her insane younger brother, Mat, and my special lovely best-friend, Ayne. I smiled and feeling relieved. I opened the door and walked towards her with poise. I saw her eyes looking shocked. I smirked, "Long time no see, Ayne.", I quickly hugged her, tightly. I missed her.

"Wow, from an old ancient ambiance, the room quickly changed to a fashion show.", Mat jokingly blurted.

"Whatever, Mat.", Ayne replied.

"Yeah, Sister.", Mat teasingly imitated her sister's way of speaking.

But before Ayne could throw the pillow, "I am away for 1 year and you still fight like kids.", I crossed my arms and looked at them fiercely. They stopped. And I faced Ayne, "And you, why you didn't tell me that you are here, admitted?".

She continued crocheting, sitting in this rocking chair. I hidely laughed because of how compatible she is right now, "I am busy.", she calmly said.

Her answer made both of us, Mat and me, laughed so hard. "Yeah, I can see. Busy doing what old grandmas do.", Mat replied.

"Hey, I am admitted here for 1 week. So, what do you expect?! I can only walk through out my room, hallway or in the lobby but still, I am inside the hospital. Argh!", she answered, frustrated.

"Then, we could ask Doc Joseph for early dismissal since he only needs additional tests.", Mat suggested.

"Then, why are you not requesting that?", Ayne sarcastically questioned.

"I just thought of that awhile ago. Hehehe.", Mat answered while scratching the back of his head.

"Stupid.", Ayne murmured.

"Wow!", Mat looked shocked and in disbelief, "You should've thought about it first since you are the ones who keeps on complaining.", he added, furious.

"I am busy thinking of something else.", Ayne replied, calmly.

"Oh, the guy?", Mat curiously asked, quickly changed his expressions, as usual. He has the personality of quickly moving on, easily to forget.

"The guy?", looking confused, I asked.

"My neighbor.", Ayne's unending short and brief replies.

I stared at her brother to explain what happened, "Ah, sister didn't tell you yet?", Mat asked. He quickly told the story together with funny expressive actions, which he always does whenever he tells stories.

"So, this happened with just 10 weeks passed and you didn't tell me.", I looked at Ayne, seriously.

"I already told you I am busy.", she reasoned out, stubbornly, but quickly apologized, sincerely.

"I'll live together with you.", I suggested. She looked at me, questioning what I said.

"Eh, Ann, I want to be away, alone particularly.".

"Then, who will take care of y—", before I can finish my line, she cuts me off.

"I can take care of myself, Ann. I have been taking care of myself for years.", she said smilingly.

I sighed, "Then, can I visit?", acting cute, pouting.

She just nods. "So, everything is settled. You may now go to your respective agendas.", she looked at me, "you should visit your parents first, not me. It must be uplifting for them to see you well, after that unexpected 1-year vacation.", and looked to her brother, "and you, request me for early dismissal. After that go back to your ward. You shouldn't be here.". After that she stood up and went to bed. "I'm already tired.", she said, looking weak. She just opened the television and watched her favorite variety show.

After that heavy discussion, Mat and I went out straight to the elevator. At exact moment, as the elevator door opened and saw Doc Joseph inside.

"Uncle!", I happily greeted him and gave a hug. Doc Joseph Hue is my uncle. His wife is a Crimsoft. Katherine Crimsoft is my mother's eldest sister and his beloved wife, however, she's already gone. That's why when I knew he was the doctor of Ayne. I was really happy because Uncle can be trusted.

"Anna! How have you been?", and we separated from the hugging.

"Always beautiful as is.", I proudly said while flipping my hair.

"Eu—ack.", I hear Mat acting vomiting beside me. "Please. Stop being narcissistic.", he looked to Uncle, "Doc, I think it's already a disease.".

Uncle just laughed and invited us to his office. Mat needs to talk to him briefly since he has personal activities to do. Uncle told him that Ayne can go home by tomorrow.
