Episode-25

  Amber’s POV:

  Edward corrected, “it’s not mine. It’s
Amber’s… and this company too…”

  Olivia awkwardly laughed and said, “yea..
sorry… this is new… you know…” Edward went back to his file. Olivia turned to
me and said, “hey, Kid… are you feeling well today?... Edward?.. you are really
weird, she was sick… she should be staying in bed…. You brought here….” she
doesn’t want me here.

 I said trying to change the subject, “I want
juice…. Can you bring some for me Olivia?” Olivia went frozen and then she
tried to smile again and said, “I will be right back…”

   I said to Edward, “can I draw you?... I am
bored.. so… you are the only one here…” he raised his eyebrow and then put the pen
holder in front of me, he said, “draw something else… this or sofa or any other
still life drawing… not me..” he doesn’t like me drawing him. I shouldn’t have
asked him.

  I turned to the glass window and started
sketching the buildings… this is much more better than his bitter face.

     After few minutes Olivia walks in and
passed me the juice, I didn’t noticed the juice, just kept sketching still
holding the glass.

     Olivia said, “hmm.. she is good at
drawing… can you draw me?” f*ck she is annoying. I said to her, “I am not good
with drawing faces..” I lied, I don’t want to draw her. I noticed Edward
looking at me with narrow eyes… like he knows I lied..

  Olivia still fixed her smile and said, “oh,
it fine… continue.. it’s good to watch.”I sipped my juice and my eyes went wide
as I taste it, it’s good, after few more sips I realized what I am drinking,…
it’s been years I tasted this juice…it’s not juice,  it’s  strawberry smoothie!.. sh*t!, I am allergic to it… I didn’t had a look
at the juice plus it is in a white cup and lid, I didn’t notice, I just had it through
the straw.

   I took a good amount in, I heard Olivia, “I
should go…” she knows about my allergies?… only mom and dad use to know. no!...
I feel uncomfortable.

 I turned to Edward and said, “Edward”

  He looked at me, I said, “it’s strawberry …”
his eyes went wide, he got up and took the cup from me. Olivia was stunned at
first, that means he knows. He checked the cup and then turned to Olivia and
screamed, “Damn it! Olivia!... didn’t I told you she is allergic to
strawberries…” she knew… she did it on purpose.. she said, “I didn’t remember,
Edward”…..suddenly I feel itchy near my neck…

  My hand went to scratch it, I saw small dot
like red marks on my hand. Edward noticed it and asked, “did you drink it?” I
have sever allergy condition, I can’t stand this for long, I am sweating
already..

  I nodded and said in tears, “yes..” he
cursed, “F*ck!!! …”

   He said to Olivia, “ask Hyde to get ready
with the car, we need to take her to the hospital..” I grabbed Edward coat and
said, “I…I can’t… breathe…” my eyes are closing…

   Edward picked me up and rushed out of the
office without caring about the people. I don’t know… can I survive this… I
really can’t breathe…

      Few hours later,

   I woke up and my body hurts, I see the IV
injecting in me. the oxygen mask is also on me. I felt someone’s hand around my
hand. I looked at Edward holding my hand, he was sleeping on the chair but
holding my hand, I whispered weakly, “Edward…”

   As soon as I said this, he looked at me,
blinking few times….. he got up and touched my face, I feel my face is also
swollen. Edward said, “thank god you wake up…”

    He went to the door and said, “Hyde.. call the
doctor… she is awake…”

  After 15 minutes doctor was done checking,
doctor told me to stay in the hospital for 24 hours more, I am really sad I
just got discharged yesterday… and now again…. The doctor removed the oxygen
mask, I don’t need it anymore, and he left…. Edward sat beside me and said,
“you feeling fine…”

    I
whispered, “yea… but it hurts…” her caressed my face, he kissed my forehead and
said, “you will be fine….” I hope so.

    Edward said, “next time check the things
before putting it in your mouth….”I let a small nod…
