Chapter 15
"Hmmmm…What…happened…?" Ann asked groggily as she slowly opened her eyes. Her head was still throbbing tremendously when Rita came to her view.
"P'Ann! Thank goodness you woke up!" Rita exclaimed nervously. After confronting Aum's other woman, Ann suddenly fainted. She has been through a lot today until her body couldn't take it any longer. Aum's other woman! Everything sank right back into Ann's system. The feeling of anger towards that woman started to flare up once again. Although still weak, Ann tried to stand up.
"P'Ann, where are you going?! Go back and have some rest." Rita pleaded but Ann tried her best to stand up. Luckily, the nurse came in.
"Mrs. Atichart, just take some rest first." The nurse instructed her. Ann just as what she was told. She looked carefully at the nurse and realizes she was one of the nurses who were calming that woman a while ago.
"Nurse, I want to speak to Ms. Aff. Take me to her room right now." Ann told the nurse. Her tone of voice was very demanding, so authoritarian. There was a hint of fury in her voice as well as on her face. The seriousness on her face explains that she was having problems with this particular woman.
"Ms. Aff has been discharged a while ago, Mrs. Atichart. Her brother and sister went to see her and they've decided to transfer her to another hospital." The nurse explained.
Ann was quite relieved when she heard that.
"So, 5 million Baht is all she needs to leave us alone…, Ann thought to herself. But still the anger was still there. Nobody knows what would happen if they'd meet again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several days had passed and no response from Aum yet. As days passes by, Ann has becoming very worried. Ann didn't leave her husband's side. She was always there, waiting for Aum to regain his consciousness, waiting for Aum to wake up and start a new life with him.
As Ann was sleeping on the couch, Aum started to mumble inaudible sounds. Ann immediately woke up when she heard him. She immediately approached him and clutched her hand tightly.
"Aum, I'm here…" She whispered to him. Tears of joy suddenly rolled down to her cheeks. She was so blissful to see her husband woke up again.
"A-Aff…Aff…Where…is…she…?" Aum stammered on his words. Ann felt like she was stabbed on her heart as she heard her husband's words.
"Ann, please take me to where Aff is… I need to see her…" Aum pleaded. Instead of answering him, Ann held his hand tightly and planted a gentle kiss on her husband's lips.
"I'm glad you're back now…" She whispered to Aum.
"Where is Aff? I need to see her…" Aum asked her again. Ann looked directly at Aum's eyes and shook her head.
"I can't do that…" She sadly said. Lying isn't her specialty but she is determined to tell a false story to her husband. Aum looked at her confusingly.
"What do you mean?"
"The girl you were talking about died. The doctor told me she was dead on arrival. Her family claimed her body few days back and I have no information to where did they buried her remains." Ann told him. Aum was shocked on what he just heard. Too shock to even react. Then suddenly, a river of tears came rushing down his eyes. It was the first time that he felt the pain of losing someone and it hurts so much that he wanted to die as well.
