WORD OF HONOR

Chapter 15 Another Chance?

I found out that the house I used to live was already transferred into my name. Dr. Heon's father gave it to me as his present for coming back. I know I should be happy but I am no longer the six year old child who wants a comfortable house to live in.

I decided not to live to our former house. And formally talk to Heon's father.

"Sir, I am really grateful for your gift, but I can no longer live to our old house. I know it will only hurt me."

"But who will live there?"

"I realize that I am not supposed to be there because it might be my worst nightmare to live in a place where my parents died and where I almost lost my life."

"But why did you do it?"

"What do you mean sir?"

"Did you intentionally do the accident?"

"I am not sure sir."

"How could you think that way?"

"Because I want to be back sir."

"You think it's the best thing to do?"

"I'm sorry sir."

Zaniah came in.

"Uncle..."

"Zaniah, we'll talk later."

Zaniah did not insist to be inside the office, she went out.

"I told Zaniah that it was my fault why we went through the accident but Dr. Heon said it was the truck that led to the accident."

"You think Dr. Heon will tell you that you're responsible for his nearly death?"

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

Then Dr. Heon came in.

"Sir, may I go with Rain now?"

His father did nothing but to let us go.

The only thing that I know that time is I love Dr. Heon and I don't want to lose him.

"Wait. Are you not curious about what I did in America?"

"I am more interested to you, you coming back is more important than what you did there."

"Were you waiting for me?"

"Of course. I've been waiting for you."

Silence.

"Thank you for coming back."

"Thank you for waiting for me again."

"If I will have to go somewhere, will you be waiting for me too?"

"I will also wait for you... but...are you going to go somewhere? When? And where? Is it really necessary?"

"I will tell you when. But this time let's go and feel the fresh air."

"How about your work?"

"I already filed for a leave."

"But what if there's an emergency, what if someone will die because..."

"We have 20 surgeons and 30 other doctors, I think they can do it."

"Okay, let's go."

We went for a trip that time. We visited a lot of places and we really had a good time together.

At a park, while we were seated in a bench, I asked him questions.

"What if I did not come back, what are you going to do with my things?"
