A NEW FRIEND

/TIMOTHY'S POV/

“What is the reason you are walking there? Why didn't you just call me? Where is your car? ” Auntie asked me with worries in her eyes.

I barely bit my lip because of the irritation.

“Dad should be the one you're asking about that.” my sarcastic answer.

She just sighed because of my sarcasm and her face is full of confusion about what I talking about.

———

While I was eating my breakfast, the door of my room suddenly opened and the person I hated to see most of all, Geneva, entered.

Suddenly, my morning goes ruined when I saw her standing in front of me causing me to lose my appetite.

“Did you come here to see if my condition was critical?” my sarcasm.

She slowly approached me regardless of the anger I felt towards her.

“Leave me now if you don't want me to drag you out of this Hospital with the guards.” I warned her.

“How are you?” she replied calmly.

“You're not satisfied that you're seeing me alive, isn't you? I wonder if you're doing this to show me your fake worries to kill your conscience..Oh, I almost forgotten, you're haven't that.” I say emphatically.

“Sorry for what I did to you.” she responds calmly towards to me.

Is this woman teasing me?

There's nothing that can make my day nice other than always there someone ruining my morning.

“How ridiculous.” I gasped before I continuing what I was about to say. “Do you really believe that I'm the Timothy you know before who easy to fool? If you love your career, just leave me alone and don't you dare to visit me again.” I threaten her.

“Okay, I'm leaving now.” she said.

After she said that, she calmly left. Because of her, my life was ruined so I have a deep reason to ruin her life as well. I am the reason why she succeeded so I will also be the reason why she failed.

Thanks to her, I'm not a fool now like before.

 /GENEVA'S POV/

Timothy hasn't been to school for a few days now, which he didn't do before. I just think that maybe he has really changed because of what I did to him. I know I hurt him too much. Even though we only dated for two months, he made me very happy but despite the qualities he has, I was not able to reciprocate his love for me.

I've been noticing for a long time that he likes me, so when he confessed how he felt for me, I just said that we both feel the same feelings for each other because I don't want to hurt his feelings.

During the two months of my relationship with Timothy, I met Rafael, he is my leading man in my previous movie. I accidentally fall in love with him. After the movie that we both starred in, he also confessed his feelings for me.

Because I also like him, we also had a relationship even though he knew that Timothy and I had a relationship. I was just looking for the right opportunity to tell Timothy the truth but what I feared had happened, Timothy found out everything.

That's why I have no right to blame him if he's still mad at me.

———

When I was looking on social media, I saw a viral video where Timothy saved a woman causing him to lose consciousness.

“Hello, Regina, do you know which Hospital Timothy is confined now?”

When I heard the news, I suddenly felt anxious which caused me to hurry to the Hospital where the address sends by my manager. Wearing a long hair wig, eyeglasses, and black cap, I disguised myself as an ordinary person so that no one would notice me.

When I entered a VIP Room where Timothy was confined, I was immediately greeted by his spicy words, the intense anger that he had harbored for eight months was obvious in the tone of his speech.

Everything still seems fresh in his mind but I can't blame him for what he felt.

———

When I got out of his room I couldn't stop crying. What I did to him was so bad that I don't think he can forgive me. I will admit, I was very hurt by what he said and I felt like I felt sorry for him.

As I walked away from Timothy’s room, I bumped into a woman.

“Are you okay, Miss?” I will ask.

“I'm fine.” she replied smiling.

I suddenly wondered why she was going to Timothy's Room. There is no other room next to Timothy's Room because it has one end and another, this ward is only for VIPs.

“Where are you going?” my curiosity.

The woman is smiling while pointing to Timothy's room, which surprised me. What will this woman do there?

“Do you know the one who was confined in that room?” I added.

“I don't know him personally, I just want to go to him to thank him personally.” the woman responded.

I could barely breathe when I knew the reason why she was going there.

/ODESSA'S POV/

After I talked to the woman, she left quickly and I continued walking to the room of the rude man. When I was in front of the door of his room I was hesitant about whether I would enter or I was just waiting for him to get out of the Hospital.

Eventually, I decided to just go inside.

“What the hell, Why are you ente—” he asked with a serious face while he looked at his food.

I no longer hesitated to approach him and thank him.

“Thank you for saving me yesterday.” I was ashamed to thank him.

He slowly turned to face me and seemed surprised when he saw my face.

“What are you doing here?” he asked sarcastically.

“I want to thank you—” he suddenly cut me off.

“What for? Anyone can do that too.” he protested.

Although I was disgusted with his bad behavior, I just ignored it because he still helped me.

“But in the crowd, you're the only one who saves me.” I smiled in response.

He seems to be bored with what I said to him.

“Because you saved my life a few times, I want to be grateful to you.” I added.

“What do you mean?” his astonishment.

“I want to be a maid in your big house.” I suddenly said.

He was shocked by what I said and looked like a volcano erupting in annoyance. “Are you upset? First of all, I don't like strangers, secondly, I don't want anyone else at my home and lastly, I don't trust women like you.” his denial that he doesn’t like me.

I'm used to being underestimated by people and I've been through a lot that is even more difficult than here, so this situation was not hard for me compared to what experience I felt in my original timeline.

He interrupted me. “Do you think I saved you because I wanted to? I treated you at my house then after that, you will just commit suicide? If that was the case, I would have just let you die on the road.”

“You're wrong, I will not ever commit suicide...I just want to go back to the timeline where I came from...this is not the right time for me, I was born to witness how the invaders will kill my loved ones.” my reason.

He seemed to stop when I said those words. I know he might not believe me and say that I'm just crazy but what else can I do if that's the truth? Then I have to lie?

“You're ridiculous...can you not make me laugh now? I'm not in the mood to make fun of you and I also don't need a maid so if you can't find a job, that's not enough reason for you to commit suicide.”

“Do you think I have time to make you laugh? I'm just telling the truth and I want to serve you until—” I stopped abruptly as I thought about what I was saying.

What am I saying?! He seemed to wonder why I stopped talking, but at the same time, he smirked annoyingly at me.

“Just leave me now...I don't know you. Hayyystt...Sh*t...my head going in pain because of you.” I suddenly approached him as he felt his headache.

“Stay away from me!” he replied firmly as I approached him and gently stroked his forehead.

I was surprised when he suddenly restrained my wrist and looked at me with a serious face. I felt something because of that. In the entire my life, not a single person has dared to touch me like this, not even Antonio.

“Leave before I drag you to the guards.” he threatened me.

After that, he let go of my wrist. I was just dumbfounded for no apparent reason. I could do nothing but go out of his room. I thought it would be easy, but it was even harder compared to what I had been through.

What misfortune is happening to me? I have lost everything and now I am alone doing a shameless move.

What serious sin have I committed to being punished like this?

/THIRD PERSON'S POV/

After Odessa left Timothy's room, the young woman took a walk in the Hospital while observing the modern surroundings. The girl is amazed at what she sees because she also dreams of working in a hospital, she dreams of becoming a doctor.

The girl knew that it would never happen because of the amount of hardship she had gone through, she also seemed to have lost hope.

“What could be the reason for me to be in such an impossible situation?” its question to itself.

As the girl was walking, she stepped on a purse. When she picked up the purse and looked at its contents, she saw a man's ID with a lot of money on it.

“Hey! Miss, it looks like mine.” a man's voice was heard by the maiden from not far away.

Odessa looked at the man and was shocked to see the man on the ID looking at her. The man quickly approached her and took the wallet.

“I'm sorry because I stepped your wallet.” maiden's apology.

“It's okay, you didn't take anything.” the young man replied.

Odessa just smiled and continued walking but the young man suddenly called her so that she immediately turned on him.

“The people like you are rare so I would like to invite you to eat near this hospital as my thank to you.” the promised the young man.

The girl could not answer due to hesitation but suddenly her stomach rang as a sign of her hunger.

———

When the delicious food ordered by the young man was laid on the table, she couldn't stop her appetite but her shame stopped her.

“Don't be shy, I know that you're hungry and that's me pay off when you return my wallet.” said the young man.

At least the girl forced herself to smile and started eating the food.

“Why don't you use a fork?” the young man asked.

The girl stopped eating and said that she had finished swallowing what she was eating. “Because I don't know how to use it properly.” the simple answer of the maiden.

The young man just smiled at her.

“By the way, what's your name?” the young man asked.

“Odessa — Odessa Valdenales Soriano.”

The young man just nodded and introduced himself too.

“Harvey Fernandez, that's my name, since it looks like we're the same age and compostable with each other, let's be friends." the smiley response of the young man.

“I haven’t made any friends yet so I want to experience how to have that.” the girl replied.

Even though the two didn't know each other very well, they quickly got along.

“Okay, give me your phone number.” the young man said happily.

Odessa was dumbfounded because she couldn't understand what Harvey was referring to.

“What's your number?” Harvey added.

“Number?” maiden curiosity.

“Uhm” the young man nodded.

“Two?” Odessa hesitantly replied.

Harvey suddenly laughed at the girl's answer to him. “I mean your cellphone number.”

Odessa still doesn't understand what Harvey is referring to as 'cellphone number'.

“What is 'cellphone number'?” innocent question by the maiden.

The young man just stared because he already understood why the girl didn't seem to understand what he was referring to.

“Don't you have a cellphone?” Harvey's curiosity.

“Cellphone?”

Harvey just wiped his face with his hand because he couldn't understand why even the 'cellphone' that almost all young people now have is not yet known by the girl he is talking to.

The young man slowly pulled his cellphone out of the pocket of his jacket and showed it to the girl.

“This is the 'cellphone', it's used to exchange messages in a fast way, you can also get news here, now you know what is it?” Harvey's calm explanation.

Odessa was quickly amazed when she found out what the 'cellphone' the young man was referring to was.

“I'm sorry, but I don't have that kind of machine” sad excuse for Odessa.

“Haven't your parents bought you something like this yet?” Harvey wondered.
