At 7 PM, two police officers come to Dave's room to get his testimony for the incident. The doctor just finished to check up his condition when they're coming.

"Excuse me...Mr. Dave, can we have your testimony now?" one of the police officer greeted and asked Dave.

Dave nods to them and his dad's let them in. Both of the police take a sit beside Dave's bed and Anna move to sit together with Lisa and Dean, while Dave's dad sit on his bed. Dave let out his sigh and take a deep breathe, he can feel the pain in his abdomen because of the stab, make him flinched.

"Are you okay Mr. Dave?" the police officer ask him when he see Dave face.

"Yes, I'm fine sir, just feel little pain," Dave said.

"Okay. So, can you please tell us what exactly happened this morning?" the other police officer asked him.

"Yeah sure," Dave said.

Flashback...

Dave just arrived at his office room when he phone is ringing, he take a look and see Grace name, he doesn't want to pick it up at first, but he know that Grace will keep calling or texting him if he ignore his phone call.

"Hello," Dave finally pick up the phone.

"What is it?" he said to Grace on the other side.

"I don't have a time right now to meet with you," Dave said.

"Okay okay, I will meet you, but after this, please never called or text me again," he said then hang up the phone.

Dave's then walk out from his office and inform to his secretary that he will go out to meet with someone. Grace asked Dave to meet her at the cafe near Dave's office. Dave arrived at the cafe and he see Grace that sit in the corner, so he walk to her.

"Ah...you're here," Grace is smiling to him.

Dave doesn't say anything, he just take a seat and call the waiter and order a coffee. He look to Grace and said: "what is it? What do you want to talk?"

"Slowly Dave, we have plenty times to talk. But first, I want to apologized about the commotion that I made several days ago," Grace said to him.

"Hufft...I don't have time for you, I have many works to do for today, also about the commotion that you made, I don't think that I'm the right person for you to ask an apologized," Dave let out a sigh and tell Grace what in his mind.

Grace feel really mad with the response, but she try not to show it to this man in front of her. She then said to Dave: "So...should I apologized to your dad then?"

"Hmm...are you really become stupid now? You should say sorry to Anna, you slapped her in front of everybody and told everyone a lie," Dave grit his teeth and try to hold his anger.

"Why I should apologized to her? It's all facts!" Grace raised her voice to Dave.

Dave really want to go right now, he can't handle something like this, this only wasting his time. He only have Anna in his mind right now, he want to make up with Anna. He is thinking how to make Anna want to talk with him again, he want to ask Dean to help him for this as soon as possible, but Grace phone called ruin everything and now he must sit face to face with this woman. He feel so angry to her now, he never feel like this before, he used to love this woman but not now.

Grace on the other side realized that Dave is now thinking about something. She try to hold Dave hands, make Dave surprise with her action. Dave shoved her hand softly and said: "sorry."

"Why? Why are you shoving my hands?" Grace furious now.

"Grace...please let me go. Our relationship already finished since 2 years ago, I won't get back to you. You know who is the one I love right? All this time I never forget her and I want her back to me, so please, don't do this," Dave pleaded to her.

Grace look at her with a mock face, she is so angry right now and yelled: "you slept with me! Now you want to throw me?!"

Dave can't hold back anymore, he then stand up and want to leave, but Grace hold his hand, she is crying and Dave hate that kind of things. Dave then coldly said: "stop it, you're embarrassing yourself with doing this kind of thing."

"You...you slept with..." Grace can't finish her sentence.

"Yeah I slept with you, but I didn't remember it. I got drunk and passed out, I didn't have any memories that I hold you in my arms that night," Dave coldly reply to her.

After that, Dave pull away his hand from Grace and pay for everything, he walk out from the cafe and get back to his office. He doesn't know that Grace is following him. Once he arrived at the office, Dave suddenly remember that he forgot some of his report in his car, so he walk to the parking lot to take the report. He take his report and want to go back, but he see Grace in front of him.

"I want to talk to you for the last time. I realized that you will never back to me, I'm sorry for everything. That night when you got drunk, you didn't do anything to me. I just made it like we slept together so you won't leave me, but now it doesn't matter anymore," Grace tell him about the truth.

"Just forget about it, start a new life Grace, I know you will meet someone special," Dave said.

"Can I hug you for the last time?" Grace asked him. Dave just nod and Grace step forward to hug him. Dave doesn't realize that Grace pull out a knife from his bag and suddenly she stab Dave stomach.

"Urghh...Whh..Why...you?" Dave push her and look at his stomach and see the bloods.

"If I can have you, then no one can't have you," Grace said that word and pull out the knife and once again stab Dave on his stomach and keep the knife there. Grace smile like a crazy woman, she move slowly to Dave that already fall to his knees.

"This is my present for you and for that girl," she whispered to Dave, then she stand up and go, leaving Dave alone at the parking area.

Present...

"Well that's the story," Dave explain to the police officers.

The police officers record all the testimony from Dave, one of them then said: "well, you don't have to worry now sir, we already captured that woman, she is now at the prison, waiting for your testimony and after this we will proceed her for the trial."

"That's good to hear, but that woman isn't she from Spain?" Dave's dad said and asking at the same time.

"Well, yes she is, but we already talked to the embassy and they allowed us to the the trial etc for her," the police officer tell him.

They're still talking for a while to Dave and after that they're talking Anna, Lisa and Dean and asking them about their testimony. After get all they need, they asked for permission to go back to the police station and to proceed for the case.

Lisa and Dean said goodbye too at 9 PM, leaving Anna at the hospital since she said she will wait for Dave at the hospital. Anna tell Dave's dad that she will stay at the hospital and asking him to go back home and take rest, he is agree and take a leave.

After they're all gone, Anna back to sit by Dave side, looking at him. She then pull Dave's hand slowly and hold it and kiss it gently.

"I hope you will always do that, not only because I'm sick," Dave open his eyes and smile gently to Anna, his hand caress Anna cheek and pinch it softly.

"Yeah...just sleep. I will do everything when you recover," Anna said to him. She then stand up and give a small peck on Dave forehead, making Dave blush in happiness.

Dave then fall in deep sleep and dreaming about Anna and himself.
