Point of view(POV) ~ Narrator

7 March 2022

Sirania's brain stutters for a moment and her eyes take in more light than she expected, every part of her goes on pause while her thoughts catch up. She sobbed since yesterday evening after reading such a tragic and shocking message. After a wash of cold, she steps from the shadows.

Cristina place one hand on her shoulder, "It'll be okay, it will." she supported her.

It hurt her more than she thought, more like Cloudburst on poor her, she can't stop herself to catch a flight to California as soon as possible. Her flight schedule was roughly around 10 o'clock in Night but she managed to reach early around 7 p.m.

She was waiting with all patience until the Announcement board of the Airport announced, the flight was going to be another 2 hours delay, her outrage was out of restraint, she just yelled at their headquarters cabin. They all had a strange reaction and excuses ready like 'Weather' 'Air Traffic' 'Check-in'.

She just threw her travel bag aside and collapsed on the seat. She literally can't control her emotions. The tears burst forth like water from a dam, spilling down her face. She feels the muscles of my chin tremble like a small child and she looks toward the window as if the light could soothe her.

She managed to get a tissue and wipe them so no one sees her, and pressed her small finger to avoid anyone hearing her.

The flight was delayed but she managed to get to California as soon as possible. She can't sleep or eat, and the Air hostess asked her again and again for food. All she was doing is just staying awake and looking around at people until she realized that she was fallen asleep somehow, and was aroused by the announcement that they are reaching California soon.

They landed, and she rushed to the taxi stand
"5,000 dollars till California Private Hospital, near the high park." She offered a taxi driver. He nodded his head and smiles at her. He was very happy she was paying him 10 times more than usual.

As soon as the taxi left the Airport, It begins raining here, the main reason her flight was delayed. The water droplets fall like they simply cannot think of anything better to do. There was laziness about them as if they can barely be bothered to conform to the will of gravity.

When she held her bare arm out of the window the droplets splatter on her outstretched fingers. They are large and soft, not like the mean driving rain of back home at all.

She tilted her fingers upwards and watches the remnants of the drops run downwards like tiny rivers. If this is the way rainy days are here she could get used to it real fast. With a half-smile, she retreated leaving the window open.

She didn't realize when she reached the hospital while noticing America's Rain after a long time.

She reached the navy double doors with their plastic band fastened midway and their dull color handles. She pulled her eyes from the highly polished floor to catch a glimpse of the hallway that stretches beyond, cut into tiny squares by the thin wire in the window panels. Without pause,
She pushed with her body weight, but she needn't have to as it swings open soundlessly and with ease. A draft of air hits her face, warm. Ahead of her lies Reception, decorated with old black and white photographs of hospital staff- most likely either deceased or founders of the Hospital.

Sirania asked them for Clazer Oath. She typed something on the computer and said the 3rd floor, in ICU.

She started running, Instead of straight walls, the hallway has a curve, disappearing in a hundred meters or so. Every few seconds she passed a different set of doors, and windows, a patient, a doctor, and a nurse with a hand sanitizer dispenser.

She passed from oncology to pathology, to maternity. She bypasses all heading for ICU because that's where her sweetheart is... Clazer is.

She finally found him and stood near the window and looked through its semi-transparent glass. He was there on the bed, must be sleeping, simply cute and lovely, and all characteristics he had were all same. He appeared to be fine and fit. Two salines and oxygen masks are attached to him. ECG machine with various sounds indicated he was normal. Now she was relieved and relaxed.

She rushed toward the door to enter In and suddenly someone pulled her back.

"Who are you?" he rudely asked her with a heavy and deep tone.

He sounds exactly like Clazer. She didn't meet him before but he looks familiar.

"I want to meet him," she answered back pointing toward the Room.

Someone came out from that ICU room, she was beautiful young, and the same age as Sirania, with Red, highlighted hair. She had beautiful glossy lips.

Looking at Sirania from top to bottom she whispered "Visiting hours are closed come back tomorrow"

"I am Sirania Deroz" she informed them

"Sophia myself, but Doctors said not to allow anyone" She answered back.

"I am his...." She was about to explain both of them. Suddenly someone approached from behind.

"Sirania come here with me. Ruder and Sophia stay with Clazer" It was Mr. Oath and they both were Ruder and Sophia.

Sirania recalled hearing Ruder's name thousands of times from Clazer. They are best friends and Sophia must be his girlfriend wait is she Korean?

...............

She looked at Mr.Oath and ran toward him.

"Dad, I want to meet him, they are not allowing me." She looked at him with puppy eyes. She knew he will allow her and her struggle will end there.

"Nor I will allow you to meet him," He said in a rough tone.

"Why? I mean you didn't inform me also. I came here without informing anyone" she screamed.

"Doctors are in fear that he might have injured his brain so any close relatives from the past will not be entertained," Mr.Oath yelled

"What do you mean? I want to meet him. I am going to engage him this Christmas " Sirania lands on the floor with her knee, she hung her head low, and started crying.

"Stay here silently. I will call your mom."

"No, no please don't. I beg you." she requested him holding his legs. "She will kill me if she finds I lied to her"

He jerks his legs, "You came with some stupid idea and Conditions to which I agreed and now it's my turn to step forward and add restrictions as Clazer's Dad." He shouted with his brown eyes filled with tears.

"Dad, please. Just I will..... see him once...I promise "She held his legs.

"Mr.Oath will be the perfect way to address me, I am not your dad, you have family, and I only have Clazer" he groaned at her.

Mr.Oath didn't listen to her request and called security. He phoned her mom and asked her to take Sirania away from the hospital.

Sirania's mom is the businesswoman and vice CEO of Walmax lives in California too and she decided to come.

Sirania couldn't meet him at all. All she did was wait outside his room looking at him and crying.

Why he didn't want Sirania to meet him? She didn't care about the property, she wanted Clazer.
But who will listen to her?

...............

Change of Scene

And at last, here Sirania was again in her own home in California, waiting for her mom, Mrs. Deroz, She is much uglier than a witch in the Disney animated show.

She entered the room without a knock and looks at her with an ugly smile, on a pretty face "he was well and good. I was about to inform you about him, right then what was the need of coming here?"

"My love called me"

"Stop watching that Korean drama" she yelled, "Sirania, you lost your mind."

"Yes, Mom I did. I loved Clazer"

At the end of the statement, she got slapped by her mom.

"Didn't I tell you my plan, I want you to stay close to that Clazer, Engage him and marry him later, claim 50% of the property and give it to me, didn't I tell you....." her mom ranted, pulled Sirania's hair and push her on floor.

Sirania started to cry.

"Why don't you die?" She kicked her.

She was scared she thought her mom will beat her now. She rushed to the corner of the room, "Please don't do this to me" She said crying.

Her past was back, the way she beat her always.

"Do what I say, It's useless to have any conversation with you, Sirania. Your feelings didn't matter." She banged the door as loud as she can before leaving the room.
