Chapter 40

Aftermath

After hearing Louis out, Gallen got up and ran out of the room. He thought he could see her out there, standing there, but there were no sight of her. He wanted so much to talk to her, to ask her whether Louis was telling the truth. He ran back into the ward, and look down through the transparent glass, only to find a departing figure leaving the hospital gate.

Kenix: Gallen, it wasn’t Flora who kept me in, it was actually Moses…

Gallen: (plainly) If Flora hadn’t put him to this, why would he?

Kenix: (shakes her head) You guys really misunderstood Flora! (to Ada) Really!

Ada: (doubtful of herself) Go on, Kenix!

Kenix: (recalls) That day, I were out to buy something, and there I met Moses who offered to give me a drive, so I got into the car. Then on the way his phone rang and he said Flora wanted to see me so he brought me to some apartment and then he said he was going off to meet Flora and bring her here. I waited and he only returned a couple of hours later to say tell me to continue to wait. I wanted to go off but he wouldn’t let me. He looked real scary then! He tied me up on the chair for fear I would escape and he went off.

Ada: What happened after that?

Kenix: Another couple of hours later Flora really appeared and she seemed pretty shocked to see me there. From their conversation I guess Flora’s really ignorant of what Moses’ doing…

Ada: You guess huh?

Kenix: I mean… I’m pretty sure she’s not aware… I guess there were some misunderstandings between them, Flora got upset because Moses believed what Gallen said, and Moses got upset because Flora wouldn’t let him ‘help’ her…

Ada: And?

Kenix: Flora knocked him out and brought me out, and brought me here…

Gallen: (turns around) And she told you to say all these?

Kenix: (looks at him) For the times you have known her, Gallen, is she this kind of person to you?

He kept quiet.

Kenix: I have to go now. Frankie is waiting for me. Take care, Gallen! (turns and leaves)

Gallen: (suddenly called out) Kenix!

Kenix: (turns back) Yeah?

Gallen: I’m sorry!

Kenix: Huh?

Gallen: Truly, I’m really sorry for what I’ve done!

Kenix: (smiles) Don’t be silly! Bye!

Ada: Gallen, I got to go too! I’ll see you later okie? (rushes off)

She went out of the room and bumps into the incoming Myolie and Steven.

Myolie: What’s up? Why is Kenix here?

Steven: Yeah where’re you going?

Ada: To make up for my silly mistake! Excuse me!

Steven: Huh?

Myolie: Just follow her!

Moses woke up, still feeling the throbbing pain from the back of his head, wondering where the girls have gone too. He limped his way down the building, bringing along some aspirin to cure his headache.

Then he found that his parked vehicle was nowhere to be found, the girls must have gone off with it. Then he crosses the road, and shortly after his unsteady body collapsed in the middle of the road, and an incoming vehicle almost hit him. The driver stopped the engine and came down…

Moses tried to stand up.

Melissa: Hey careful!

Moses: I’m okay…

Melissa: Moses? You don’t look alright to me! What’s got up with you?

Moses: (pressed his head) Nothing, I’m fine.

Melissa: (drags him into her car) Let’s go to the hospital!

Moses: (protested) No, I’m not going there!

Melissa: Then where?

Moses: Just ignore me! I’m okay, Mel!

Melissa: (pushes him into the car) I’ll get you some ice then!

She drove him to a nearby convenience store and came back with a bagful of stuffs.

Melissa: (tucks him the things) Here! Now can you tell me what happened to you?

Moses: Can I don’t say it?

Melissa: If you ain’t telling me how am I to help you?

Moses: (smiles) Why are so you certain that I’ll need your help?

Melissa: (shrugs) I don't know, but I thought a good friend should always lend a listening ear, and a helping hand if possible.

Moses: (smiles) Thanks…

[Sai Wan area – playground]

Ada went looking around the area and finally found a gloomy Flora sitting alone on the bench.

Ada: (grins) Hey! (Flora ignores her) How could you be here without this?

Ada winks and flashes a stick of cotton candy in front of Flora, the latter took it but still ignores her friend.

Ada: I’m sorry, Flora! I know you’re my sister and yet I don’t trust you but instead… I know I’m not fit to be your sister!

Flora: (pouts) At least some people still remember I like cotton candy!

Ada: Sorry, I didn’t know you want to hide your past, I didn’t know you had…

Flora: If not why do you think I would rather you had told others I’m an orphan like you?

Ada: It’s my fault for not caring for your feelings…

Flora: Of course it’s your fault!

Ada: I’m ready to accept any punishment, sis!

Flora: (looks at her) Then why do you believe me now? Louis told you guys?

Ada: Uh huh…

Flora: What’s the difference between me and an orphan? That’s why I’d rather see myself with you. But you’re a lousy sister, you don’t believe what I say and you believe what a stranger say?

Ada: There was Kenix too…

Flora: (pouts) Oh! So my words are no heavier than them!

Ada: No no, that wasn’t what I meant… I mean… I mean I reflected and I knew I were in the wrong… I were being selfish… I had vested interests, that’s why I…

Flora: It’s okay, you can have that Gallen for all you want! (takes a deep breath) I don’t want him anymore!

Ada: (shocked) Huh? Don’t kid, sis! I’m not… I’m not that… you know, I…

Flora blurts out laughing.

Ada: (realizes) Hey, you fooled me! I should have known earlier!

Flora: Hmm… don’t you have any more questions for me? You were like… interrogating me the whole time that time… (imitating her) Oh Flora, why did you check up on him? Why are you being so secretive? You must be the spy!

Ada: (blushes and surrenders) I’m guilty, Flora! Enough, enough… I'm thankful enough that you're not angry with me!

Flora: (hits her head) Spare you!

Ada: But seriously, sis, I think you ought to have a good talk with him!
