Ring! Ring! Lisa slowly opened her eyes slowly to the sound of her alarm and woke up with a pounding headache. She wondered and blamed herself about drinking too much the night before. She got up with her pajamas and tip toed to the kitchen, careful not to wake up any of her roommates. She brushed her teeth and took a quick shower. She groaned as her headache was still bothering her. She decided to make a hangover soup for breakfast and quickly go to the hospital. She wanted to spend as much time as she could with her dad before he passed away so she went their right before work, during lunch break on work, and after work. Thinking about her dad brought tears to her eyes so she quickly shook away the thoughts and focused on getting ready quickly. She chugged the soup quickly and got onto her motorcycle. She went to the hospital and checked into her father's room. She slightly smiled at her father's peaceful sleeping state and sat in the chair next to his bed. She took his hand and rubbed it in circles comfortingly, not knowing her father woke up.
"Lisa ah, why come this early in the morning? A young woman should sleep some more, especially one who has to work so hard during the day." Lisa's father chided.
Lisa chuckled slightly, "Then, why do you wake up this early. An old man should get more rest than a young woman. Anyway, how are you appa?"
Lisa's dad laughed, "What do you mean "how are you"? You just saw me yesterday and asked. Anyway, why do you want to visit me everyday? No, a better question! Why keep in the hospital when you know the inevitable is coming, Lisa ah? You shouldn't waste the money you worked so hard to make over something like this."
"I just want to spend as much time with you as I can. They can keep you alive longer here. This is all my fault that you're here. If I spotted the symptoms earlier, they might've been able to save you, "Lisa said as tears started streaming down her face. Her father caressed Lisa's face and wiped her tears away.
"Lisa, you know that this isn't your fault. But even if I die two seconds from now. I want you to know I will always love you and your mother didn't run away. No matter what anyone says, your mother didn't run away. She loved you too much to do anything like that, okay, "Lisa's father said still caressing her face. Lisa nodded as more tears strolled down her face. Her alarm suddenly rang signalling she had to get to work.
Lisa got up and wiped her tears in a rush, "Bye appa! I have to go to work now! Love you!" She waved and he waved back with a smile on his face. She left the hospital and got onto her motorcyle. She drove to her office and started working.
5 Hours Later
Lisa wiped the sweat off of her forehead, "Finally, I finished the paperwork! That took so much time!" Lisa looked at her watched.
She said in delight, "Oh, it's lunch time. I'll go see appa!" She looked at her phone to see if she got any messages from her dad and stumbled upon a discount from Marybelle's Bakery.
"Ooh! They have discounts on macaroons, appa loves macaroons from there! Since I do have a little bit of extra money left, I'll get them as a surprise for appa!" Lisa squealed happily. Lisa got on her motorcycle and drove off. Distracted, she made a wrong turn and into a road with a small bakery on it.
"Oh no! I took a wrong turn! But it'll take too much time to drive to Marybelle's and go to the hospital. But there's a bakery here, I'll just get something from there! I bet it's delicious, it's even named La Deliciosa! " Lisa said as she parked her motorcycle. Lisa hummed to herself as she pushed the door with an open sign to go inside. But there wasn't anybody inside. Lisa thought to herself, "Strange, the sign says it's open!" She suddenly heard voices from the back of the bakery. She cautiously walked towards the back and her eyes widened as she saw a woman laying on the floor with five men surrounding her.
The woman pleaded, "Please, let me go! I won't tell anybody what I saw! I promise, just please let me go!"
The man right in front of her viciously laughed, "Won't tell anyone, huh? We know you reported something already two months ago to the police to investigate! Guys, you know what to do." Lisa winced as she heard two gunshots knowing what happened. Lisa watched as the man in front turned towards her and gasped realizing who it was. Lisa quickly covered her mouth and hid behind the pillar but it was too late.
The men surrounded her and the man who commanded the other men to kill the woman said, "Oh you're cute! I like you but too bad you know what my identity is and that's enough to kill you. Guys, shoot her!" The five guys shot their guns at her and tears streamed down Lisa's face because of the pain. Lisa thought to herself, "God, I don't care if I die. Just please take care of my father before he passes away." And she took her last breath and dropped dead to the floor like the woman before her.
