"Hi, how are you feeling today?" Asked Issac
"Erm, i am feeling good." Said Tiffany
"Good." He said dully "you are allowed to leave the hospital today."
"Oh.." She simply answer
"Yup" and he walked away
"Hey!" She cried before he open the door
"Yes?" He asked
"Did you develop my photos?" She asked
"Oh.. I was very busy" He said and added on "I have forgotten about it"
"WHAT!?" She asked
"I am sorry, may be i should return the flash drive to you." He said "and you can develop it yourself"
She went silent. she didnt know what to say, she was very disappointed.
"I got to go, i have lotsa patient are waiting for me." He said and walked away without telling her good bye.
"Issac.." She whisper softly by looking at his back
___________________________________
He was looking at the photos he develop on the day he got the flash drive from Tiffany. It were a set of landscape photos and some of it have his back or shadow on it.
"Since when you interested in photo shooting?" Asked David by snatching the photos on Issac's hand
"Hey, can you be more polite!?" Cried Issac
"Shut Up." Said David "It that you?" He asked by pointing a back of a man in the picture
"Yes." He said
"So you didnt shoot these photos?" Asked David
"Nope." He simply answer
"Hello." Ivan open the door without knocking it
"Can both of you be more polite!?" cried Issac "knock the door before u enter!"
"Do i need to knock and wait for your permission to enter your office!?" Asked Ivan
"What do you think!?"
"Oh Shut Up!" Said Ivan lightly pushed Issac's left cheek
"Hey the photos..." Paused Ivan "I thought you didnt develop it!?"
"How do you know... I .." Issac didnt know how to put it into words
"I visit her before she left the hospital the other day and she told me." Said Ivan "But why?"
"I dont think is right to do so." He simply answer
"Passing her the photos she asked you to develop!?"
"is not as simple as this"
"Oh.. I know.." Said Ivan
"What!?" Asked David "What's going on!?"
"Someone is in love." Answered Ivan
"Oh.. i knew that..." Answered david "Tiffany eh?" teased david
"Both of you sounded like women" said Issac
"he is avoiding her now. but why? he doesnt get it, why do he need to avoid her? the only reason is he is in love. but how?" Issac was in deep thought while Ivan was telling the whole story about Tiffany and him to David
"ISSAC!" Cried David
"what!?" Asked Issac
"Stop avoiding her! just tell her what are you thinking!" Said David
"I dont even know what am i thinking!" Said Issac and his cellphone rang
"Hello" A girl said form the other side of the phone
"Hello."
"Erm.. i need my flash back, some of my assignments i saved in it." Said Tiffany
"Will you be free tomorrow?" He asked
"Yeah.."
"I will see you around 6pm?"
"Ok, but where?"
"I will give you a call and inform you." He answered
"alright then. bye." She said
"Bye"and he hung up the phone
Ivan and David was staring at him
"What!?" He asked
"Tiffany?" Asked Ivan
"YES!" He answered
____________________________________
It was 5.30pm. She was still waiting for his call. She was lying on her bed and wondering should she call him. after a long consideration, she decided to call him at 6.30pm, if he never call. 6.45pm, he did not call her, so as she what she thought just now, she called him
"Hello." She said
"Hey, Tif im busy right now, do you mind if i postponed it?" He asked
"Erm no.. i dont mind give me a call when you are free." She said cheerful
she was lying on her bed with all dressed up and even make up. Eventually, she fall asleep.
Her cellphone rang and it wakes her up
"he..llo.." She said with a high pitched voice
"You just awake?" Issac said from the other side of the phone
"Yeah..." She answered
"I am sorry i cant make it today. the hospital is very busy." He said "I try my best to make it tonight." He said and hung up the phone without saying goodbye
"What's going on?" She asked herself by looking at the stars and moon out of her window.

So what that we are different? chp 6
"Where's Melissa?" Asked an old women that walked out from the kitchen
"She went London." He said dully
"When are both of you getting married? look at Eva, she is 2 now. what are both of you waiting?" asked the middle age women "If she didnt want to get married, you should settle it and move on."
"How about Eva? how am i going to move on?" Asked Issac
"Not like Melissa is going to take care of her. Even she is here, how often do both of you bring Eva home?" Asked the women again "Most of the time, Eva is staying here."
"I will think about it." He said
"I heard you have a new girl friend?" Asked the old women
"Huh?" He was blank for 3 seconds
"The college girl. Ivan and David was telling me the other day." She said
"Since when you see both of them?" He asked
"They came over for dinner yesterday when you was in an operation." Answered the old women
"WHAT!?" What the hell is going on? why didnt he know about it?
"They drop by quite often when you arent around." She said with a smile "David is happily married. Although Ivan has divorced but he is happily dating new girls from time to time. but you, what happened to you?"
"I am with melissa. aint I?" Asked Issac softly
"Are you sure this is what you thinking?" She asked and pat his shoulder "son, this is not the way." and she walked into the kitchen
"Mum, I am leaving, please take good care of Eva and when dad is back say hi to him." He cried "It has been a while not seeing him."
"Ok, drive safely." cried the old women.
___________________________________
He walked though the dark corridor to the ward. He wonder is she asleep yet. He stopped and lightly opened the door. and he saw lights from the laptop on her lap.
"Why arent you asleep yet!?" Asked Issac
and she screamed! Issac quickly switch on all the lights and hugged her tightly.
"What happened?" Asked Issac
"I thought it was ghost!" She answered "It's very scary here! i wanna go home! just now i heard the nurse said someone is died in the room besides mine."
"Tiffany! I was worried!" He cried
"is there anything?" Asked a nurse
"No.. is ok, please shut the door." He said
"Oh, is doctor Issac. ok, i will shut the door." She said
"I am scared and im alone!" She said
"It will be even worst of you are in a public ward." He said
"You know, although this room looks like a hotel but still, it's scary." She whisper "I can smell the medicine all around."
"Why arent you asleep yet?" He asked
"I am scared. when i close my eyes i thought it might be a ghost floating beside me and all kinda silly thoughts."
"You are being too imaginative." He said and poured a glass of water for her
"I thought you will only see me tomorrow?" She asked and took over the glass of water
"I left something in the office and thought of visiting you." He said without looking at her
"Oh.. " she said and drank her water "Ivan and David came in the afternoon after you left."
"Really?"
"Un huh..." She nodded "They told me you have a really cute daughter." She smiled
"Oh.." He simply answered
"And they show me some of her photos they took in your office." She said "You shouldn't bring her to the hospital. nor matter what, hospital is full of virus."
"My girlfirend bought her here." He said and notice some disappointment in her eyes
"Ohh really...."
"What were you doing just now?" He asked
"I was doing some furniture research. there will be a furniture competition soon and the prize is really amazing. i want to give it a try." She said
"Hmmpp?"
"No harm trying isnt?" She asked
"Yup, what the prizes?" He asked
"Some cash, a trip to Milan." She said "If i missed out this chance i might not have another chance to visit Milan."
"Why?"
"Who knows mayb i am a loser at work. and i hardly earn a penny? you will never know." She said
"Shouldnt you be more confident?" He asked
"I am tried. what should i do?" she asked
"Sleep!" he answered
"But i am scared."
"Just sleep i will be here until you are asleep." He said gently
"What if i wake up in the middle of the night? and a women's head is hanging on the ceiling?"
"Can you stop it?" He never know it's so scary to stay in a hospital "Just sleep!"

"Tifan.." Ivan was about to cried nd he saw something that shocked him...
"What the.." David was stunned by what he see
"Shi...Shi..." whispered both of them and shut the door
"Is that?" Both of them were too stunned to talk. Ivan pointed at the lift and they went down to starbucks.
"Hi, what do you need?" Asked a girl
"The.... usual...." Said David
"Make it two.." Said Ivan without thinking
"Steady...." Said David "Did i just see Issac slept on the sofa?"
"I was about to ask you.. did we just saw.. i mean see that!?" Asked Ivan
"I dont know, I.." David was speechless
"Wait.. why are both of us so panic!?" Asked Ivan
"I dont know.. because this is the first time i see he sleeping on a sofa, i guess."
"Is just Issac sleeping on a sofa isnt?" Asked Ivan again
"Not like he is naked." Added David "Even he is naked, so what!?"
"What the hell was wrong with both of us?" Asked Ivan
"Please dont bad mouth me loudly in the public." Said Issac with a cup of latte and sat with them "I was there because last night i left something in my office so i thought of visiting her since i was there and then i fall asleep in the sofa while waiting or her to sleep."
"Why? I mean why do you need to wait for her?" Asked David
"She is afraid of hospital." He said
"Oh... How sweet." mocked Ivan
"Oh please just stop it!" Said Issac
"Are you working today?" Asked Ivan
"Yes" Answered Issac
"Great." Said David
"Lunch.. " Said Ivan "You have to treat us"
"Why?" Asked Issac
"Because i will be hungry"
"Isnt it none of my business?" asked Issac "David can treat you"
"Oh please I am just a nurse!" Said David
"See.." Said Ivan
________________________________
"She is still asleep" said the nurse that walked out from the ward that Tiffany is in.
"It's 2pm now." said Issac "Is she still breathing?"
"Yes.. i think she is very tired. she has been been sleeping for the whole yesterday but only at the time you came" Said the nurse
"Is ok, I am just going to check her report." He said "If it's ok she can leave tomorrow."
"Okay, her mother and sister is inside the room." The nurse said and walked away
"Oh the doctor is here." Said a middle aged women when she saw Issac walking in
"Hello, I am Doctor Issac." He said with a smiled
"How's Tiffany?" Asked a lady about early 30's
"The nurse will check on her later. if she is fine, she can leave the hospital tomorrow." He said
"My girl was crying to me that she is afraid of the hospital." Said the middle aged women "I wonder can she leave tonight?"
"It's not the right thing to do. However, if she really wants it, i can try to arrange." He said
"Oh.. since it's so troublesome is ok then. Just another day.. " Said the women
"But Tiffany..." Said the lady with a very worried looking on her face
"Tiffany is the youngest in the family, so she is spoiled." Said the middle aged women
"Oh really?" Oh yes he knows how spoiled can she be!
"These days she was dating a man we never met. i am worried." She simply said
"Dating!?" Asked Issac
"Yea.. every time we ask about it she deny but i know something is wrong with her." She said "I am her mother, is impossible for not knowing the differences."
Issac was silent
"I saw his car once.. it's a black car. if im not wrong the number was xxxx"
"Did she just mentioned his car? so she is worry about him?" Issac thought
"She is 19 isnt she? is normal to start a relationship." He said
"Yea, but at least bring him home so that we know what's going on." She said "Oh sorry doctor, am i disturbing you?" She laughed
"Oh no.. is ok." he said "I need to attend another patient, will see you later." He said and walked out the room by thinking what did Tiffany's mother tell him. However they arent dating! Should he avoid meeting Tiffany that often? She is only 19 after all...

Eternal Love 2 =D
One week later…
“Emily, there is a bouquet of flower for you!” Emily was woken up by the noises from downstairs. She grabbed her jacket and ran toward downstairs. She saw a bouquet of flower on her dining table. It was her favorite flower, calla lily. She was surprised because nobody knew she likes this flower and she had not received any bouquet for years. She was staring at the bouquet and suddenly she saw there was a card in the middle of the bouquet:
Emily,
Thank you for buying the collection of “Eternal Love”. But the most importantly, you believed in eternal love! I had persuaded a lot of people but it seems to be failed. Most of them had been hurt in their love life and do not dare to believe in “love” again. They would rather believe eternal love doesn’t exist than stepping into love again. You are the special and the lucky one, because you chose to believe it. I heard that you were touched by the love story of my parents too. I am very happy about it and I would like to invite you for a dinner as a token of appreciation. If you agree, please wait for me to pick you up at 7pm tonight. Thanks.
Kyle
“How can he track my house address?” Emily remembered that she never give her address to the promoter that day. Emily was struggling whether to attend the dinner or not because it is very dangerous to dine with a strangers and it is also very rude to decline his sincere invitation… It was 6.30p.m yet she still cannot make up her mind.
“White dress or jeans?” “Ponytail, updo or let it down?” “Pumps, heels, wedges or what?” There are so many questions popping in her mind, she really had no idea how the designer looks like, whether he is tall or short, handsome or ugly and where is the restaurant? Is it very formal or just they are going to eat at the hawker stall?
After considering for quite some time, she decided to wear her knee length white dress with her simple yet elegant pump and let her hair down.
It was 7p.m. sharp. An elegant Mercedes Benz CLS350 stopped in front of her house and a smartly dressed gentleman walked out from the car. He was shocked when he saw her because he thought she was an angel. Emily was surprised too because she never thought the designer is so rich and HANDSOME! His face features is totally perfect and he has the model’s body shape. She thought he was walking out from the cool car from her Bazaar Magazine.
“Miss…Miss…Are you ready to come up to my car?”
“Oh..sorry…of courseee….”
“You looked very pretty, Emily”
“Thanks. You looked very smart too, Kelv…erm…Kyle! So where are we going for our dinner?”
“You looked very excited! Hmm, just sit back and I’ll bring you to a special place.”
“Special? How special?”
“Very special”
“Very special as like what?”
“Why are you so curious my little angel?”
“Angel? You are calling me angel?!”
“Yup, you looked like an angel to me.”
Emily blushed and she did not know how to continue the conversation. She just kept quiet and listens to the music played in his car.
“There’s only 1 thing 2 say 3 words 4 you….”
“I LOVE YOU”
“HUH?”
“I mean I LOVE YOU”
“Hey, please stop kidding me!”
“I am not kidding you, I am serious!”
Emily blushed once again and she pretends she was sleeping because she thinks the designer is just a pervert and she should be more careful.
“Emily, we had arrived.”
“Arrived? This is a beach, what can we eat at here? I did not see any restaurant here! What are you trying to do to me? Are you going to rape me and throw me down to the ocean? STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!!
“SHHHH…” Kyle put his index fingers on her mouth.
“Just follow me, I promise I wouldn’t eat you, rape you or throw you into the sea. Trust me.”
“No, my mum said it is very dangerous to follow strangers to places which is dark and not crowded”
“Trust me for once okay? I will definitely give you a good memory.”
“O…kay” Finally she stepped down from the car but she was following at his back with a distance of 1 meter.
“Hey! Can you walk faster or closer to me? I am not a monster, I won’t eat you!”
“No, I am very scared. Oh Jesus Christ.”
Kyle had no idea what’s wrong with this girl and he ran to her and carried her up immediately.
“Put me down! Put me down! You Pervert!”
“SHUT UP!”
He carried her and ran on the beach for a few minutes.
“Wao. It’s so beautiful!” Kelly saw there were 2 tables placed on the middle of the beach and there were candles on the table.
“Oh MY! It’s a candlelight dinner at the beach!” Emily whispered in her heart. She couldn’t believe that he actually prepared all these romantic stuff.
“So now you have seen the tables and the chairs and the glass and the candles and the whatsoever, you still wan to lie on my hand?” asked Kyle.
“Oh NO, put me down now!” screamed Emily and she was blushed.
Both of them were seated and the dinner is served.
“So, you are satisfied with your dinner?” asked Kyle.
“Yea, it is very romantic to dine in the middle of the beach. How you manage to prepare all these? It’s unbelievable!”
“Oh, I bought down this beach so it is up to me to do whatever here.”
“You BOUGHT this BEACH?”
“Yes. This place is very memorable to me. My parents came here for their first date. My mum always mentioned about this beach when I was a kid. I promise her that I would try my best to buy this beach and protect it.”
“Oh, that’s so sweet!”
“Yea, Thanks. you had heard about my parents’ stories, aren’t you?”
“Yea, I heard about it from the promoter that day. I am so touched about the true love between your parents. So you found your eternal love?”
“Yes. Definitely” Said Kyle while showing his diamond ring on his ring finger.
“Oh. You had married?”
“Hmm.” Kyle just smiled and did not answer her question.
“So your wife knew you brought me out for dinner?”
“Yes.”
“May be you should bring your wife along next time.”
“Sure sure.”
Emily felt quite disappointed when she heard that he was married. She thought it was weird because she simply felt in love with this guy that she had just met once. She kept reminding herself to forget about it and leave the place as soon as possible.
“So you want to have sex on the beach?” asked Kyle out of sudden.
“WHAT? Sex on the beach? You PERVERT” screamed Emily and she was about to slap Kyle.
“WAIT! I mean the cocktail “sex on the beach”! Not the “sex” you are thinking about, dirty minded little woman.”
“Oh, cocktail. Erm, sorry I was err err…” Emily felt embarrassed with her action just now and she blushed.
“You look very sexy when you blushed”
Emily dare not look at Kyle and close her face with her palm.
“Hey, don’t be shy!” said Kyle while trying to move her palm from her face.
Emily’s heart beat quickly when Kyle’s hand touched her. She felt very weird with the emotion she’s having. She tried to convince herself that she is not into him but she just can’t control her heart beat.
“Hey this is your cocktail! Thank you for buying the “eternal love” series of jewelry. Cheers!”
“You are welcome! Cheers!”
Emily dare not look at Kyle and continues to sip her cocktail. She thinks that the cocktail taste quite good but she felt a bit of tipsy. Out of sudden, she saw something blinking in her cocktail glass. She thought it was because of the tipsy but it looked so real! She started to stir the cocktail and she saw a ring in the cocktail glass!
“Kyle, err, why is there a ring inside the cocktail glass? Did you drop it accidentally?”
“No, the ring was for you, my wife!”
“Huh? For me? Your wife? What are you talking about?”
“I had sworn to God that I will marry the lady who bought the “eternal love” series of jewelry! So you are now my wife!”
“Wait! I thought you said you are married and you just showed me your wedding ring!”
“Yes it is my wedding ring but it’s a pair with the ring you holding now and it is from the “eternal love” series!”
“But you said your wife…”
“I said my wife knew I brought you here for dinner because you knew about it and you asked me to bring my wife along next time and I said yes because I will always bring you along with me! Would you marry me, Emily?”
“Oh, this is too fast. It’s like watching a movie!” Emily whispered to herself.
“Emily, I am very sure that you had feeling towards me too and I promised I will always love you and take good care of you forever! Most importantly, you will be my eternal love! Would you marry me?”
“Yes, I do” said Emily. She blushed again but finally she dare to look into his eyes and smiled to him.Monday, June 22, 2009
So what that we are different? chp 5
"Oh.. what was it?" Asked Issac after an operation
"She said she wont be home today."
"Ohh.."
"She left your daughter in your office." Said a nurse with checking on her watch "And also the girl called Tiffany, she admitted to the hospital few minutes a go. I suppose she is your a friend of yours." Added on the nurse and rose from her place and walked away.
"feel like visiting your college girl? hug her and ask what is wrong with her?" Whisper David beside his ears
"WTF! can you please stop whispering beside me?" said Issac
"Dont swear in the hospital" Said Ivan "Your college girl is ill.. I heard her faint in the morning."
"What? I thought she got into an accident?" Asked David
"No, she faint because of gastric." Said Ivan
"Can both of you tell me what is going on?" Asked Issac
"Not really sure about it.." Said David
"She was faint because of gastric while she was driving and 'boom' she got into an accident." Answered Ivan
"How do you know?" Asked Issac
"Doctor Gary told me." Answered Ivan
Issac looked at him and walked into his office.
"Hey where are you going!?" Asked Ivan
"Shouldn't he visit Tiffany?" Asked David
"Her daughter is alone in his office" Said a nurse
"What!?"
"Melissa bought her and told him she wont be home tonight. The whole nursing department is talking about it."
"Melissa... " Said David "How can she do that!?"
"Is she out of her mind!?" Asked Ivan "Eva is only 2! how can she be alone in Issac's office!?" He said and both of them walked quickly to Issac's office
____________________________________
"Eva, be good.." Said David gently "pass daddy the cutter..." and slowly walk over to a toddle.
"Issa..." Said Ivan when he open the door and he was stunned by what he saw. Eva a 2 years old toddle is holding a sharp cutter. the cutter was sharp, sharper than the normal ones.
"Let me do it." Said Ivan
"Eva... look here.." Said Ivan gently "Look what do i have..." and he slowly walked over to the baby girl and gently took over the cutter. the whole office was silent and Issac carried the Eva on his arm.
"How could she left Eva alone in the room!?" Said David angrily.
"She was too busy." Defended Issac by knowing how irresponsible is his girlfriend by doing this.
"Why the hell will you have such a sharp cutter in your office!?" Asked Ivan
"It's a 30 degree cutter, the other day, i borrowed it from Tiffany." Answered Issac "Ivan, can you please keep an eye on Eva? I feel like visiting Tiffany."
"Sure, she is in ward 2040." Said Ivan and Issac handed over Eva to him
"David.. call McDonald's please.. i am starving..." Said Ivan when he saw Issac shut the door
"Do we need to order for Issac?" Asked David
"Yes, order him a erm.. cheese burger." Said Ivan "I heard he was in the operation room more than 12 hours!?"
"Yup from 7pm to 7am." Said David "It was an emergency case. He rushed back to the hospital last night."
__________________________________
"How was her?" Asked Issac to another doctor by walking into the ward
"She is very lucky." Said the doctor
"She got into an accident and she climbed out of the car on time."
"You mean her car explode!?"
"Yes, she climb to a quite distance from her car. so when it exploded it didnt affect her."
"I am not dead yet." She said with her eyes closed
"You are just lucky!" Cried Issac
"Since when you have gastric!?" Asked Issac "Why didnt you tell me!?"
"I have it since primary." She said "I didnt know it will attack me out of blue."
"Did you have your dinner last night?" Asked Issac
"I had but during mid night i was hungry. However, i was too busy to eat so i ignore it."
"Ignore!?"
"Yup, and when i was having my breakfast while i was driving, it suddenly attacks me."
"Do you.."
"Issac, I need to leave now, do you mind taking over her case since you are a gastroenterologists? " Asked the doctor "Doctor Lucy is on leave, so you are the only gastroenterologists left."
"Well, yes." Said Issac and took over her health report that clipped on a wooden board
"Great then." The doctor said and walked out of the room
"Doctor, can I have a discount?" Asked Tiffany
"If you have your food when you are hungry you will not need to pay for this and your car!" Cried Issac
"As if I have a choice." She said "Can you please pass me my bag?" She pointed a brown bag on the sofa.
Issac handed to her and she took a stack of photos out.
"These are for you." She said "You look great in the pictures" she handed over some photos to Issac
Issac was silent and looking at the photos
"I used up too much of time by editing the photos, didnt left some out for my assignment. and i got into an accident." She said and smiled
"What the hell are you thinking!?" He said and pat her head "Do you know you nearly died!?"
"I only know that im still alive." She said
"Tiffany, stop visiting starbucks. Coffee is bad for people like you." He said
"you look worn out." She said
"I just done a non-stop 12 hours operation." He said
"Get a cup of coffee and you will feel better." She said "If you were to get one. buy me a lollipop please..."
"You shouldnt take heavy food for these few days."
"Ohh.. by the way, can you please keep this for me?" She passed a flash drive to him
"Why?" He asked
"there's a file named after you. there was some unedited pictures which look very pretty without editing it." She said " Please develop a set for me. highly appreciated, thank you"
"I will do it if i remember." He said
"How long do i need to stay here?" She asked
"2 days."
"Huh? Why cant i leave tonite? I dont dare to stay in the hospital!" She said
"Why?" He asked
"Hospital is so scary! I dont want! let me go home.. please..."
"No. your condition is not stable yet." he said "I need to go. i am really tired, will see you tomorrow." He walked out the room and thinking is it possible to visit her tonight
____________________________________________________
"Issac, is me Melissa" A women said on the other side of the phone
"What the hell is wrong with you!? how can you leave Eva alone in my office!?" Cried Issac
"I have an important meeting in the morning."
"Do you know she nearly cut herself just now?"
"Issac, I am different from you! I am not a doctor, I need to work!"
"I dont feel like talking to you right now! is not being a doctor or not, is being a responsible parent"
"I know you are mad at me right now but i am sorry." she said calmly "I am flying to London later for a week."
"Is that all?"
"Yes."
"I have nothing more to say." He said and hung up the phone. He turned around and he saw Tiffany was stunned
"You left your tag again." Tiffany said softly
"Oh.." He said
She took the flash drive on his hand, hang and clip it on his tag "By placing it here, you wont forget to develop the pictures." She said and smiled
"I will not forget, stop acting like a grandma." He said gently "Go and rest."
"Yea, leaving now. Bye." She waved and walked back to her ward.

So what that we are different? chp 4
"Do you know each architecture is very special?" Said Tiffany with a same digital camera "it's unique, look at their style. it reflects the personality and character of an architect."
"Every architecture is an art huh?" He asked sharply
"Bingo!" She said with her thumbs up "Do you know by looking at the building it self you are able to tell, how old is it?"
"Really?"
"Yup." She simply answered and continue her photo shooting
He is looking her and wonder why didnt he ever notice in term of height she is so short even with her heels.
"Tif." He cried
"Yea?"
"What's your height?"
"156cm" She answered
"feet?"
"Oh please! no one use that anymore!"
"Mayb i am a bit old schooled for that huh?"
"Nowadays people refer to cm and even in interior we hardly use inch, we refer to mm." She said with a smile and walked away
"She is kinda pretty isn't? her eyes are so amazing. it arent terribly huge but it's big enough to match her face shape and also her double eye lids is...." He was thinking and he lightly slapped himself. Wondering what is he thinking. how could he betray his girl friend at this time
"Why are you staring at me!?" She asked
"I am hungry. let's go for breakfast." He said walked away "Later i need to return to the hospital, have an operation at 1pm"
______________________________________
"What do you want?" He asked
"Erm.. A cup of hot tea will do." She said
"Dont be shy, i will treat you since you arent working."
"No.. i dont feel like eating early in the morning."
"Early?" He looked ta his watch "Oh yea.. it's only 9am"
"Yea.. if we go in the afternoon the pictures will look very different." She said
"Why?"
"The temperature and color will be different, because of the sun light." She said "The morning sun light is warmer and it's not as strong as the afternoon light."
"Is a kinda knowledge isnt?" He teased
"of course. I picked up a photography class before." She said "I was surprise that you actually accompanied me today."
"I thought it would be great to wake up early in the morning once in a while." He said while reading the newspaper he took from the counter "besides i feel very fresh"
"Can you drive me back to college later, since you will be going back to the hospital" She asked
"Huh? I need to change before i return to the hospital." He answered "What time will your class start?"
"one"
"1 pm?" He asked
"No, 1 am, mid night class" She mocked
"you are such a troublesome kid." He said and paused "Do you think my patient mind when they know their doctor is wearing a jeans durng the operation?"
"I dont know, i am not ur patient." She said "But i dont think it's right"

"Yes? Sac Sac..." teased David with a feminine tone
"How do you.."
"How do we know?" Asked Ivan "Well, is pretty simple, we was on night shift last night. We went breakfast and saw Doctor Issac was dinning with a college girl."
"And we sat behind them." Said David "Im such a trouble..." He said with a feminine tone and touched Ivan's hand

So what that we are different? chp 3
"Yes, what can i do for you? sir David." Answered Issac softly
"Can you please give me a hand?" Said David soft as just now
"Left or right?" Answered Issac softly
"It's heavy!" Cried David
They laughed out loud and Issac took over one of the boxes on David.
"HEY! can both of you behave properly? This is a hospital!" Said Miss Wendy,one of the oldest nurses in the hospital.
"Sorry.." Answered Issac with a smile
"Issac!" Cried Ivan
"Shiii~" Whisper David "Miss Wendy is here..."
"Oh.. sorry.." Apologized Ivan "Lets go for lunch...."
"Where?" Asked David
"Now even the canteen is full of kids." Added Issac
"Yea, I heard all the restaurants around their college was closed down by the health minister." Said Ivan
"But i thought there's a mall beside them?" Asked David
"Do you think they can afford it? is ok once in a while but for daily!" Answered David
"So what now?" Asked Ivan "I am starving"
"Maybe we should go to the staff only canteen." Suggested David
"Ughh.. but the food is bad there." Said Issac
"I bought a soured sandwich the other day." Answered Ivan "Think people, i need food!"
"Doctor Issac!" Cried a girl out of no where
"Who the hack cried in a hospital when Miss Wendy is here!?" Whisper David
"Do you mind..." Asked Tiffany
"What again!?" Said Issac
"did anyone shout just now?" Asked Miss Wendy
"Me!" Said Tiffany by raising up her hand
"Do you know this is a hospital?" Asked Miss Wendy
"Yea." Answered Tiffany with a smile
"She is going to be dead meat after this." Whisper Ivan
"And why did you scream?" Asked Miss Wendy
"I didnt scream, i cried out Doctor Issac's name." Answered Tiffany innocently "That's all I did"
"You..! You need to be quiet in the hospital!" Cried Miss Wendy
"You are now even louder than i cried just now." Answered Tiffany
"You.."
"Im so sorry Miss Wendy, i will teach her a lesson later..." Answered Issac and walked away "Yes, what do you want?" Asked Issac
"I left my purse in your car yesterday, i need it back. I am starving."
"Is in my office, but it's at the other block."
"Yea.. i walked about 15 minutes to here!" complained Tiffany
"Let me settle this." Said Ivan "Since the car park is around here, why dont you treat 4 of us lunch, and when we returned you return her purse or watever to her?"
"Why me!?" Asked Issac
"Because she was running to you not both of us." Said Ivan
"whatever, but we dont even know whr to have lunch!" Said Issac
"erm.. you have a car right?" Asked Tiffany
"Yes"
"You are planing to drive it out rite?" She asked again
"Do I have a choice?"
"Oh great then.. there's a great place." She said and pulled Issac to the car park
"I thought Issac is getting married soon?" Asked David
"You wont understand." Said Ivan "until you have a young and pretty college girl around you."
_______________________________________
"Do you need to be so cruel to my wallet?" Asked Issac by looking at a fancy restaurant
"Huh?" Asked Tiffany "No! not this place, you have to walk inside."
"Miss Tiffany do you know that it's 36 degree?" Asked David
"Yes, so what?" Asked Tiffany
"And you are making us walking like a dog."
"We different from you! You are with your shorts and tee shirt but look at us!" Complained Issac
"OMG.. sorry i didnt realise that you are with your shirts and ties."
"Are we naked in your mind!?"
"No.. but haiz.. just walk ok? not like you are 70 years old!" Said Tiffany "Shame on 3 of you!"
"WTF!" Cried Issac
"Well we are here." Said Tiffany and settle herself down on a table that is under the electrical fan.
"It's just a normal Indian restaurant!" said Ivan
"Nope, the food is great here." Said Tiffany "Hey, order!" Cried Tiffany
"I want a flying bread with eggs and a cup of Milo! The Milo i want it less sweet and make it thin."
"A cup of Milo with uncountable request!" Mocked Issac
"That's the fun of having food here." Said Tiffany
"What do mean by make it thin?" Asked Ivan
"You order another glass of Milo and you compare it, you will know." She said with a wicked smile
"Well." Said Ivan

"The college Tiffany is studying asked him over for a talk."
"What did he do?"
"No! I mean those talk.. stage talk!"
"Ohh.. why? I thought it was a design school?"
"A talk about human behaviour for the interior design students."
"Ohh..." he simply answered
"What are you thinking?" Asked David
"Melissa."
"Your girl friend? oh yea, i thought you are getting married very soon?"
"She told me to postpone it."
"Again!?" Asked David "But your daughter is already 3 years old."
"As if i dont know!" mocked Issac
"So?"
"I dont know what to do!" Said Issac "I told her many times and she didnt want to. what can i do?"
"Both of you has been together for 12 years. why not end it since she didnt want to get married?"
"End it? what about Eva?"
"Tell her that daddy and mummy will be separating but doesn't mean you will stop loving her?" Suggested David "I dont know man!"
"She is too young for this." Said Issac
"I dont know.." He said
"How about the college girl?" teased David
"Who? Tiffany?"
"Uh huh..."
"What's about her?" he asked and added on "Please dont tell me, you think that im into her!"
"Woa man.. I am just asking." Said David "since you are driving her to the train station most of the time."
"I am just being kind. since her father is using her car"
"wao..you even know her family probs"
"Damn you! how many time you want me to..."
"Cant both of you shut up?" Said another doctor "Do you know you are on operation now? it's really amazing that by look at these you are able to ask where is your lunch pal!" He said by pointing at the bloody chest.
"I dont care, i am hungry." Said David
"Anyway who is Tiffany?" Asked the doctor who scolded them
"Shut up and cut his stomach!"
So what that we are different? chp 2
"Hot Latte." Answered Issac.
"And a hot mocha." Said a young man.
"One bill?" Asked the baristas
"yes." Answered the young man before Issac could make a sound
"So what are you doing here? i thought you suppose to be having a meeting with your fellow nurses?" asked Issac rudely
"Miss Wendy is sick. " Answered the young man "So how about you? Didnt our hospital has a Starbucks too!?" asked the young man sharply
"I am..." he saw a familiar face and he paused
"Iced Mocha" Said a girl with a black and white horizontal striped shirt.
"Ha. she looks so smart and formal today." Said the young man
"Danny i wonder is it true that they have always have fights here." Said Issac "Or else we can request to 'banned' all these students from our hospital."
"My name is David not Danny!" Said the young man
"Danny sounds more warm." mocked Issac and when he was about to walk out
"Hey sugar, are you free for a ride?" Asked a man to the girl
"No, I am busy." Said the girl and the man hold her hand
"Come on." Said the man
"No." answered the girl and she tried to flung his hand off but she failed
"Hey!" cried Issac
"Who are you?" Asked the man
"Didnt you hear that she didnt want to be with you?"
The man punched Issac and said "Shut up you almost-middle-aged freak!" and he walked away
"Issac!" David ran over to him and helped him up
"Are you ok?" asked the girl
"I suppose" answered Issac "The hospital is just next door anyway"
"Im so sorry, I didnt know you will help me out."Said the girl
"Since you know this is a dangerous place, wthell are you doing here?"
"I am having a presentation today, i have no time to walk over to the hospital just for a cup of coffee."
"Tiffany, the lecturer is here!" Said Alvin running into the cafe
"But.." She didnt know how to explain that Issac is hurt
"Omg..." Alvin was stunned "Arent you the doctor yesterday?"
"Alvin stop it!" cried Tiffany
"Girl, go for your presentation, i will bring him back to the hospital. it's jz a punch after all." Said David.
"Thank you. I will visit you in the hospital when im done with my presentation." She said and ran into her campus.

"Oh.. I heard the doctor is hurt because if you." Said Yvonne
"Yea.. i feel sorry for him." Said Tiffany
"He is too old for a fight!" Said Yvonne and they laughed.

"It's located at the 4th floor." Said the nurse "you will see it when you reached the 4th floor by that leave there."
"Thanks" Said Tiffany with a smile
"Doctor Issac huh?" She whisper to herself by looking at a tag "gastroenterologists!? wtf i dont even know how to spell it." she walked into the lift
She walked out the lift and start looking for it. the nurse told her she will see it but she cant. and the hospital was freaking huge! wthell is it? argh... she needed help! and she saw someone she knows, it's the young man with Issac this morning!
"HEY!" She cried

"Sorry, i am looking for Doctor. Issac, do you know where is he?"
"I am behind you." Said Issac out of sudden
"Oh... where's your office? i was looking for it up and down but i cant find it!" She complained "You should kill the interior designer of this hospital in the operation room! the design is so stupid!"
"What are you doing here?"Asked Issac
"I am here to visit you as i promised!" She said with a smile
"I am pretty fine." He said
"You should have rest, he punched you quite hard you know?" She said innocently
"PUNCH!? Doctor, i thought you said you fall?" Said one of the young female nurse.
"Opps." Tiffany covered her mouth with her left hand and thinking of what should she said
"Doctor, who did that to you?" Said the nurse "How could they do that to should a handsome face?"
"Jess! I thought you suppose to bring the patient in room 405 for a check up?" Said David
"Oh yeah.." said the nurse "Doctor, i feel so sorry for you." and walked away
Issac looked at her as if she has slapped him in front of everyone
"I am sorry.. i didnt know.." She tried to explain
"How many times you have to be sorry!? Every single time i bump into you, you will be sorry!"
"I... am sorry.."
"Come in!" He opened the door behind him and walked in.
"OMG! it's an office? it looks like a ward from the door outside. but it's so huge inside here!" She looked around "Amazing"
"Should i still kill the interior designer?"Asked Issac by placing his white robe on the chair
"Ohh.. Your coffee is cold!" She said and passed a cup of hot latte to him
He looked at her weirdly
"I suppose you didnt drank the cup of coffee you bought this morning so i.."
"How do you know i ordered latte?" He asked
"I guessed. people about your age loves latte." She answered
"My age!?" He asked sharply
"Yea, as in late 30's" She said and settle herself down on the sofa
"My tag." He asked
"What!?"
"I want my tag back." He said
"Ohh.. how do you know, it's with me?" She asked
"I dont know. i just know it." He saw it hanging on her neck
"No patients huh?" She asked
"Im not suppose to be working today but i was worry about my patient so i came back." He said and drank his coffee.

So what that we are different? chp 1
"told ya, starbucks is always full." Said a young man
"And it's full of students from the design college next to us. " Answered the man while looking around for an empty space.
"Yea.. i wonder why are all these students doing around here." Said the young man
"Because the starbucks next to their college is too noisy for them" Said another man with spectacles out of no where
"Jesus Christ! You frightened me!" Cried the man with white robe
"There's a place there." Said the man with spectacles.
"Miss do you mind we join you?" Asked the young man.
It was a young girl with a pink fashionable over sized T-shirt and a white short pants. The girl didnt answer him but was busying with her laptop.
"Miss..." The young man asked again and she did not respond.
The man with white robe took off the earphone in her ears and asked "Do you mind we join you? because it's very full."
"Oh.. im so sorry." She packed aside her books on the table and smiled at them. "yes, you may sit." And she placed the earphones back to her ears and return to her own world.
"Back to topic. what do you mean by the starbucks next to their college is too noisy for them?" Asked the young man
"Why dont you ask her?" The man in white robe pointed at the girl.
"As if she will answer me." Said the young man.
"If you want, i will make her answer you." Said the man in white robe
"Issac, you shouldnt do that again." Said the man with spectacles
"Why not?" Issac took of the earphones on the girl's ears and looked at her seriously.
"Yes?" The girl asked
"What are you doing here?" Issac asked
"Rushing my Final Project" She answered
"This is a hospital, should you do that in your college?" Said the young man
"But my college's internet connection is very slow." Answered the girl
"I believe there's a starbucks next to your college." Asked the young man
"It's too noisy, and it's very dangerous."
"Dangerous?" Asked Issac
"Didnt you notice it's full of foreigners and they will have a fight there every week." She drank her coffee and continued " I dont even dare to park my car there or the housing area opposite my college."
"Ha.. so the hospital is safety now." Mocked Issac
"I know we are making a lot of noise in here, but you have to understand that we dont actually have a choice. besides the hospital is just next to our college and it's open for everyone." Said the girl and she turned to behind "Alvin, what's the measurement of a grand piano? I mean baby grand."
"About 1700mm by 1700mm." Said the young man behind.
"Ohh.. thanks." She smiled and turned back
They looked at her as if she was an alien, because they didnt know the young man sat behind her know her.
When Issac was just about to ask her something, there was an announcement but because it was too noisy, he cant hear it.
"Can you all please lower down your voice?" Yelled Issac. "Is ok to do your works here, but this is a hospital, please respect this place. You were so noisy that the doctors and nurses who are dining here cant even hear the announcement. what if it was an emergency?"
It was silent and the announcer repeat the announcement
"Doctors and nurses are urge to be in the emergency room at once. an accident that involved more than 20 victims had happened."
"Har.. it is really an emergency." Said the young man
"Can you stop eating and run?" Said Issac and he walked quickly to the emergency room
_____________________________________
"Issac, do you know that i am just a nurse?" Said the young man
"I know you are not a doctor." Said Issac
"What will happen if i tell those kids in starbucks that im a nurse?"
"What would you wanna tell them that?" Asked Issac
"I dont know."
"Like i care. Anyway, the patient heart beat is stable now." Said Issac and he took of his surgery robe and walked out the room and he saw a familiar face looked very worried and the owner of the face ran to him
"Did you took my flash drive!?" It was the girl he sat with during his lunch
"What!?" He was too shock to answer
"My flash! I need it! is it with you!?" And she start searching around his shirt's pocket and even his trousers pockets.
"MISS! Can you please stop it!" He said calmly "What flash drive are you talking about?" He asked
"A dark blue flash drive." She said sadly with tears
"Are you crying?" He asked
"Yes I am."
"Issac, you left your robe in the operation room." Said the young man "Hey, dont be sad, he is safe"
"You saw him!?" Asked the girl
"Yea, Issac just did an operation for him." Said the young man
"What?" She was looking at him without understanding what was he talking about.
"Issac... just.."
"She is talking about her flash drive not the victim." Said Issac
"Ohh.. Sorry..." And the young man handed over the robe to Issac and something dropped out, it was the flash drive she is looking for!
"It's here!" She cried "What did you steal my flash drive?"
"I didnt, you probably droped it into my robe while you was packing your books." He said
"I dropped?"
"Why would i want a lousy flash drive!?"
"Sally placed it into his robe's pocket he didnt steal it." Said another doctor "Im Doctor Ivan, nice to meet you."
"Who is Sally?" Asked the girl
"She is my patient" Ivan smiled "Im a Psychiatrist "
"Oh... now it explains its all!" Said the young girl and she looked at Issac "Im so sorry."
"Is o-k!" he walked away.

Eternal Love
She was on her way to work and she saw a familiar figure at the street next to her office. She could not believe what she saw and keep reminding herself it’s not true. She just cannot believe that her boyfriend was hugging another girl and on their way to her favorite café. She dare not look back and ran into her office instead. The scene kept replying in her mind and she had totally no mood to work. He was her first love and she loved him with all her heart. She never betrays him, not even lied to him. She thought he would be her only love and would married to him when their financial status is stable. She had been together with him for 5 years but she never sees her boyfriend smiled so happily when he was hugging another girl. Her heart ached so badly and the tears flowed non-stop. She decided to take half day leave from her office to chill her mind.
Suddenly, she was attracted by a set of jewelry displayed in the window of the shop. “Eternal Love” is the theme of that set of jewelry. She wondered the existence of eternal love and felt childish with the theme.
“Miss, are you interested in that set of jewelry?” asked a promoter.
“No. I just wonder is there any eternal love?” said Emily.
“Of course there is, Miss. This is the latest collection designed by our famous designer. He believed that owner of this collection of jewelry will definitely find eternal love someday.”
“I think this is only a trick you all used to attract the buyer.” said Emily without looking at the promoter. She thinks that there is no eternal love as she put so much effort in her relationship but now everything is gone.
“Miss, don’t be so pessimistic. May be you do not believe in eternal love now but once you wear this collection of jewelry, your true love will appear soon.” said the promoter.
“No, I seriously do not believe in eternal love. I just dumped by my 5 years boyfriend. I saw him hugging another girl walking into my favorite café. Now you tell me whether I should believe in eternal love or not?” asked Emily with a depressed tone.
"You should, Miss. The designer had faith in himself and the buyer. He hoped that the owner of the jewelry is blessed with eternal love. He used 3 years to design and make this set of jewelry. "
“3 years? So what? I do not care how long it takes to design this freaking jewelry!”
“Miss, there is a story behind this set of jewelry.”
“Story?”
“Yes. An eternal love story. The designer always believes in eternal love because he saw it from his parents. His father is in love with his mother since they are 17. They knew each other in high school and have fallen in love with each other so madly. Their relationship is very close and one day, his mother found out that she was pregnant but both families did not allow them to get marry and banned them from meeting up. His mother then ran away from her house and went to a village in Oregon. She work hardly everyday and raise up her son all by herself. She loved her son so much because he is the only prove of the love between herself and the father of the designer. 15 years later, the father of the designer was transferred to Oregon for 3 months. On the day before he left Oregon, he decided to visit to the village outside of the town because his colleague once went there and finds the village is very beautiful. When he was having dinner at a small restaurant in the village, he found out that the dish served by the restaurant is very familiar. He then asked permission to go into the kitchen and he found her in the kitchen. They were so shocked and touched to see each other because they still love each other deeply. Both of them hugged each other tightly and they swear they will never let each other go again. His father decided to stay in Oregon and they married each other later. But the story had not end yet. A few years later, a serious earthquake attacked Oregon and both of them were trapped underground for a few days. When the rescue teams found their body, both of them were hugging each other closely and their hand were held tightly. The designer was lucky enough that he was at a summer camp in California and avoided himself from the tragedy. He was so touched when he saw the dead bodies of his parents. He believed that his parents still love each other so much even though they had gone to another place. From there, he believed that love can be forever and eternal.” explained the promoter.
“Wow, in fact that was a touching story. They must be very lucky to find back each other after so many years and ended their life with the company of their loved one.” said Emily with tears running in her eyes.
“Yea. The designer promised himself to engrave the eternal love of his parents in his designs and therefore this collection is named Eternal Love. This collection was 100% handmade and there is only 1 set available. If you are interested in it, you should buy it down, Miss.”
“Is it really true that once I owned this jewelry I will find my true love?”
“Yes of course. You want to try it on?” asked the promoter
“Yea.”
“It suits you very well! It’s like specially made for you, Miss.”
“Wow, it looks superb on me. I think I will buy this.”
“Thanks, Miss. Alright, this is your warranty card for the jewelry. You can come back and polish your jewelry free for life and the most important one is, if you failed to find your true love in one month time, you can refund the whole set of jewelry and we will compensate you another USD10000.” said the promoter carefully.
“One month? USD10000? Are you kidding me?” asked Emily curiously
“No, I am not kidding with you. It is the promise of the designer.”
“Okay.”
“I hope that you can find your eternal love soon.”
“Thanks, bye.”
“Bye.”
