LADY: Just a sorry and I’ll let you go? You molester!
SAMMUL: (apologetically) I… I’m sorry, I’m really…
MYOLIE: (suddenly spoke up) Look who you’re speaking to, Miss!
SAMMUL: (shocked) Myo…
LADY: What do you want? Now he’s the one molesting me here!
MYOLIE: (chuckles sarcastically) Hahaha, what a funny statement you’re making here! It’s polite of me to call you Miss, Auntie!
LADY: (lost for words) You!
MYOLIE: Look at you! If you don’t have a mirror, I’ll certainly be kind enough to lend you one, who would want to molest you!
LADY: Hey, girl! You better don’t carry this too far!
SAMMUL: (say awkwardly when people around are looking at them) Myo, forget it, I’m the one at fault…
MYOLIE: (to the lady) I say YOU better don’t carry this too far! Did you say you want to call the cops? Go ahead! We’ll tell the police how a decent guy like him would want to molest someone like YOU!
LADY: Hey, you’re too much! (stammering) I… Count myself unlucky! (storms away)
SAMMUL: (to the lady walking away) I’m sorry, Miss! Sorry!
MYOLIE: Hey, you’re so useless!
SAMMUL: I…
Sammul was speechless! Completely silenced off by her! Was he impressed or frightened off? Whichever it was, he had never seen Myolie throwing such a temper. It was such a contrast from the usual her. He never knew she would flare up like this. He never thought she could! There was an awkward silence for a moment, until Myolie decides to speak up.
MYOLIE: (calling him) Hey…
SAMMUL: (softly) Huh?
MYOLIE: Are you shocked by my behavior?
SAMMUL: Well… sort of… but are you disappointed with me?
MYOLIE: Well… sort of too…
SAMMUL: (lowers his head and bites his lips) I’m sorry…
MYOLIE: (chuckles helplessly) Have you been a sinner in your past or what, Mr. Ching?
SAMMUL: Huh?
MYOLIE: Who do you keep saying sorry?
SAMMUL: I’m sorry, I…
MYOLIE: (rolls her eyes) Oh my god, do you have a second phrase?
SAMMUL: (sheepishly) Dui ng ju… (sorry in Cantonese)
MYOLIE: (laughs) I can’t stand you!
SAMMUL: (blushing a bit) Sorry…
MYOLIE: Please stop this apologizing game now, Sam!
SAMMUL: Actually, you don’t have to be so fierce just now…
MYOLIE: So you think I’m fierce?
SAMMUL: Erm… a bit…
MYOLIE: Do you always allow yourself to be bullied like that every time?
SAMMUL: Erh… no…
MYOLIE: (shakes her head) Looks like you’re really frightened off by me…
SAMMUL: (raises his head high) No, Myo! I just didn’t expect you to be such a… strong girl!
MYOLIE: And I didn’t expect you to be this weak either… Then are you still catching the show?
SAMMUL: Of course!
MYOLIE: Actually… if you’re a bit braver, this won’t have happened…
SAMMUL: You mean…
MYOLIE: (smiles) You think I didn’t see what you were trying to do?
SAMMUL: (grabs her hand suddenly) Does that mean you’re willing to give me a chance?
MYOLIE: (grins) Well… I’m just looking for someone to carry my bag, chauffeur me around, treat me to meals…
SAMMUL: (smiles broadly) I’ll be more than willing to do that, Myo!
MYOLIE: But I need to reconsider!
SAMMUL: (disappointedly) Why?
MYOLIE: You’re wasting my time here and if I can’t catch the musical…
SAMMUL: Ooops, sorry. (held her hand steadily) Let’s go in!

(Next day – 29 June 2004 – Tuesday – HH Hospital – 8.55 p.m.)
Roger had been staying besides Flora almost without leaving her side for more than 10 minutes since the doctor announced of her high probability of waking up within the few days. But he was made of flesh and blood anyway. The long day and night vigils at her bedside had more or less tired him out, and after Ada’s repetitive advices, he had finally decided to leave the hospital for some rest! Those real and solid rests he desperately needed!
JESSICA: He only listens to you, Ada! I can’t know what to say to him!
JOE: Yup, luckily he has you to support him!
ADA: I should! Both of them are my best friend!
JESSICA: (stroking her hair) Sor mui, I know what you’re thinking of… but is it worth it? Once she wakes up, they’ll be together happily again… and you…
ADA: Jie, I know what I’m doing! Flora is my best friend in life, how can I bear to leave her alone like that…
JOE: If I was Roger, I would be so touched and…
JESSICA: Too bad you’re not him!
ADA: Excuse me, I’m going to the washroom! (leaves)
JOE: Poor Ada, she has no one to turn to…
JESSICA: (pouts) I’m poor too, I haven’t have someone to care for me like that!
JOE: Am I invisible?
JESSICA: Well… at least I didn’t see how you care for me…
JOE: Erh…
JESSICA: Teasing you, silly! (sighs) But you’re surely nothing near Gallen or Roger!
JOE: Hey! (grins) But you still love me!
JESSICA: God have time to love you!
JOE: But think of it, Ada’s sill not too pathetic to have you as her sister and me as her brother-in-law to take care of her… at least we’ll dote on this little sister!
JESSICA: Thick-skinned fellow, get a life! You’re still on probation!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 hours later, it was almost twelve midnight. And Ada was still staying by Flora, wiping her face with a wet cloth to moisturize it a bit. What a great friend she was! Gallen entered the room silently.
GALLEN: (softly) Ada… Silly girl, poor you! Where’s Roger?
ADA: (rubs her eyes) He’s gone home to rest. He has been here for almost 50 hours! He’s dead beat, so I advised him to have a rest first and come back tomorrow…
GALLEN: (shaking his head) You look tired yourself, Ada! Come on, let me take over! You’ll go home and have a rest!
ADA: I’m not that tired, just a bit hungry!
GALLEN: (chuckles) Silly girl! What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you!
ADA: Just get me some snack will do!
GALLEN: (thinking) Hmmm… I think there’s a convenience store around the corner! Stay here, I’ll be right back!
25 minutes later, Gallen came back happily with a whole bagful of snacks, twisting the door knob open in satisfaction.
GALLEN: (smilingly) Ada! Food delivery!
He froze! And almost dropped his food!

PS: What happened? Did he saw a ghost or... sansan? Hahaha...
