...Chapter One

I couldn't help but feel dizzy, as my headache was unbearable. I had just finished my surgery, which lasted for almost ten hours, so here I am, feeling weak from exhaustion and hunger.

I'm in my office, planning to take a short nap to regain some strength, when suddenly the door of my office opens and I'm surprised by who enters.

"Hey my lady!" he greets me with a smile, placing a paper bag on my table. I'm still staring at him, unable to believe that the man standing in front of me is real.

He's wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt and black jeans that suit his dark complexion. We haven't seen each other for years because we've both been busy with our respective jobs. Video calls were our only way of connecting during those past years.

"Hey, why are you crying? I think you've missed me too much," he says with a grin, but I just ignore his comment and quickly stand up from my seat, rushing towards him and embracing him. I can hear his soft laughter as I do so. I stop when he tells me that he can't breathe.

But realizing that it was just a joke, I couldn't help but give him a light slap.

But he holds my hand and kisses me. At first, I'm surprised and don't respond, but eventually, I kiss him back. I may not be an expert in kissing, but I've watched enough love stories to know a thing or two.

Just as we're lost in the moment, my friend Ameliana barges in, her jaw dropping as she sees us. I quickly push my boyfriend away, luckily sending him onto the sofa instead of the floor.

"Why did you push him, V? I know you both missed each other, so take your time, even if you want to tease each other," Ameliana says, earning a glare from me. But she just gives me a meaningful smile before closing the door to my office.

Here I am, blushing and feeling embarrassed about what just happened. Shit! Out of all the people in this hospital, why did my "best friend" have to see us in that situation? She'll probably tease me endlessly about it. That's why I invited Hanz to eat with me because I'm hungry.

We just finished eating the food he brought earlier. Yes, I said "we" because Hanz insisted that I eat too, even though he's already full. If only I knew he doesn't like Japanese food, he prefers Italian cuisine because he doesn't like raw food.

I've said so much, but I haven't even introduced myself. I'm April Viviane Avila, a cardiologist, and my long-time boyfriend is Hanz Cedrick Reyes, a neurologist and the CEO of his father's company.

"Hey V, are you listening?"

"Uh, sorry, what were you saying?"

"Lets get married," he says, causing me to almost drop the glass in my hand from shock. Before I can respond, the office door opens and a breathless nurse enters.

"D-Dr. Avila, your patient in room 305 is experiencing a gradual decrease in vital signs."

I look at Hanz, but he just smiles at me, as if telling me to prioritize my patient. But before I leave completely, I say, "I'll be back in a moment," and he nods.

But fate has other plans because I end up spending almost six hours in the operating room, and my body, head, and hands are in excruciating pain. But there's something even more painful than that. I didn't catch Hanz in my office.

I can't blame him because what I thought would be a quick procedure took several hours. But what I didn't expect was a bond paper on my desk.

There was nothing written on it except for, "I love you." I sit on the floor and cry...
