[ Chapter 4 ]
He carefully placed Rita on the bed; white and clean. Just like he ordered Dex to prepare. But, just stepping into that very room bring back so many bad memories. That is why he chose to just give out advices in the city and not really attending sick person anymore. How long am I supposed to run from myself? He was not sure whether this was truly the answer of his very dilemma but one thing for sure -- he will not repeat the same mistake all over again. He then went to the side of the bed and started untieing the tie which held Rita's both hand firm. She still haven't give out any response signalling she's awake so he was not really worried about her madness. Though, IF anything do happen, there .. the straitjacket hanging at the end of the bed would do the job. He pulled out the chair which was right under the bed. Unfold it and sat right beside of her.
As he sat down there with both of his arms folded, somehow, he managed to doze off into the night -- for a little while. He was very sure that he was dreaming; he don't even bother pinching himself in the dream. This was due to the very fact that she is still alive. Maybe that was the reason why he couldn't sleep well for such a long time, he have been getting this dream every night. Sometimes if he is lucky, after popping in some sleeping pills, maybe .. he wouldn't dream about this but usually -- he do. The dream was like an old film recorder playing out his past -- the bits of those memories which he hope would be erased. But certainly, it never did. Those dreams had haunted him for like, forever. There will be this other woman, sleeping in the same white bed. It wasn't really clean though, stains of blood could be seen painting all over the bed. There would be about 4 nurses helping out in handling this patient and one doctor attending -- him.
"Doctor! What should we do now?? She's critical!" One of the nurse shouted.
"I can't hold onto her legs anymore .. she's too stong!" The other added.
Rome didn't give out any response at all. There he stood still. Looking at what she had done to herself. It was horrifying. While both nurse was holding onto her arms and legs, two more could be seen trying to stop the blood flowing out from the chest like an overflowing river.
"DOCTOR! DOCTOR!! We need you .. she needs you!!"
Just then. He suddenly woke up from what he called as nightmare. It did not took him long before he realise that the figure once sleeping on the bed was now gone. He turned his head to the left and then he saw her, trying to tip toe to the door.
"There's no use trying to escape .. The door is locked from the outside." He answered while still keeping his arm folded.
"WHAT?"
"Well, I knew you were going to escape .. that's why--"
"OooOOoo yeah. You're one great guy! First you said you bought my heart, then own it. After that, kidnapping me to a look alike set for a horror film. Whatever." She snorted.
"Heh" That was his only response.
"You're really crazy aren't you??"
"Nope."
She couldn't stand it anymore. Today was certainly qualified to be labelled madness! She went straight to the table. There, she saw a vase and held onto it tightly. Yes, she was planning to throw it to Rome's head.
"You do that, and trust me .. you won't like living here with the straitjacket on .."
"You are not putting that one me, are you?" She put down the vase back where it belongs.
"Well .. that depends. Can you try not to be difficult?"
"THAT depends too. How can I know you're not crazy?? .. and when can I leave this place??"
"Erm, so many question so little time. May I say something?" He asked politely.
"OH, now you are going to bother yourself by asking ME permission .." She sarcastically answered him.
"Haha .. anyways. I wouldn't had done this if I've never read your note--"
"That note was just a joke .."
"I haven't finished my sentence yet. As I was saying, yes, your note did trigger it but the main reason would be -- the pain in your eyes. I could see it .. I know .."
"Erm, please stop talking rubbish."
" .. and I'm sure you were serious when you wrote that note .. right?"
She just kept quiet. She stared out of the window and was now looking at the moon. Then .. she answered his question accompanied with a sigh.
"You know .. Pain doesn't hurt anymore when it's all you ever felt .."
He carefully placed Rita on the bed; white and clean. Just like he ordered Dex to prepare. But, just stepping into that very room bring back so many bad memories.

[ Chapter 5 ]
Maybe their conversation was a little longer than they had expected. It was now morning or we could say it was going to turn sunny in any minute. Though they hadn't known each other for a very long time -- less than a day -- Rita somehow felt comfortable being with him; a complete stranger. He might be crazy too, well, the probability is always there. It's not really shocking considering the fact that he attends "mentally unstable" people everyday. He could turn into one, sooner or later anyways. She kept telling herself that eventhough she felt "comfortable" there is still no concrete reason on why she should trust him. Maybe he hypnotized her to believe that he was a good man but who knows? He might be doing that just to deceive her into doing dirty work for him. Those two unknown people who's yet to know each other had millions of question lingering in their very mind but there were no one to answer them. They weren't talking, maybe, they suddenly felt the sudden awkwardness .. that was when, both of them heard a sound of somebody trying to unlock the door. Just then, the door flung opened and bang on the wall. Both was shocked and did jump a little -- especially Rita.
"S-s-s-oorry .." The familiar stammering voice started apologizing for his mistake.
"Oh, it's you Dex. Nah, not to worry. The door had been like that for years now .. so .. used to it."
"Used to it? How could someone get used to such sudden bang-ings like that??" Rita suddenly interrupted.
"I was a doctor here .."
"Oh .. so you "was" which means you're not a doc now?"
" .. depends .."
"There go your favourite phrase .. depends! It is so annoying you know!! You're practically not answering the question--"
"E-e-xcusse m-me .."
"WHAT?!" Rita suddenly raised her voice.
Dex then took one step backward.
"It's ok Dex. Thanks for unlocking the door for me. You can go play now .." Rome gave out a smile and so, Dex nodded and walked away.
He had now shifted his attention towards Rita. Looking at her with a pair of stern eyes.
"What now??" She questioned him after sensing something was wrong somewhere.
"Don't you ever treat Dex like that anymore .."
"Oh .. he's name is Dex?"
"Yes, and he's kinda 'special' but not in a harmful way .. so be nice or .."
"Or what?"
"Or Mr. Straitjacket over there would be doing the talking from now on .." He threatened as he pointed his finger towards the cloth situated at the end of the bed.
"O-ok .. geez."
"Good." He smiled. "Now .. come on. Follow me .."
"Is there an option of answering 'No'?"
"No."
"Fine .."
"Where are we goi--"
"Shushh. Just follow."
"Hmph!"
Since there weren't any option at all, so, she reluctantly dragged her feet and started walking. As they were walking down the hall, only their footsteps could be heard, including those of the nurses there and .. several screaming .. shouting by the patients there. All of the workers there -- including Rome -- acted normally. Not trying to be the odd one out, she did the same thing though she was scared like shit.
"Err .. got a question to ask doc .."
"Yeah .. anything?" He replied. They were still walking.
"Still don't know what your name is you know .." She stated.
"Haha .. is that even a question? Well, anyways, you can call me .. Rome." He paused. "You?"
"Oh .. Rome. Isn't that a name of a city or something??"
"Yup .. anyways .."
"Haha .. you can call me Rita." She gave out a cute smile.
That conversation ended when they reached a silver metallic door with the name of the doctor on it. They entered the room, starting with Rome and following suit, Rita. The female doctor was of course shocked with the sudden appearance of her once, really close friend.
"My,my .. isn't it shocking to see who's right here -- in my room." She started the conversation and laughed. Wearing glasses, the doctor continued. "Hey, Rome. What's up?"
"If it isn't my goofy sister-in-law, Donna." He answered.
"Sister-in-law?" Rita was a little confused no, rephrase, a lot.
"Who is she?" She asked as she took off her glasses and started wiping it.
"Erm, a new patient here. Help me do the paperwork for her .. and all the necessary procedures."
"Are you serious? She don't look sick or mentally ill you kno--"
"Just do it, please."
"O-Ok."
"I'll be waiting at the cafeteria .. take her there when you girls are done .." Just as he said that, he went out of the room. Now leaving both Rita and the doctor, Donna.
The doctor invited her to sit on the chair; opposite where she was sitting. Afterall, she is the doctor and that is her room. They did not exchange a single word for the past few minutes. Untill one of them started speaking ..
"You must be really special you know. It's not easy for Rome to just, bring a girl here like that. Well at least not after that incident .."
"Eh .. what incident?" That phrase really triggered her curiosity.
"Haven't he told you anything? How did you guys even met??"
"Trust me .. you don't want to know .." Rita answered.
"Erm, you don't seem crazy to me. Haha .. oh well .. why not!" Donna giggled.
"Haha .. you're not really that bad, considering yourself as his relative. Technically speaking that is .. haha .."
"Why, thank you. As I was saying, I met him since we were still studying in the med school. He was a charming guy indeed but not really my type .. so I introduced him to my big sister. We are filipinos but residing in Thailand .."
"Oh, that explain the exotic look .. it's a compliment."
"Haha, thanks. You know, right after I introduced them .. it didn't take long before they were an item -- they were so in love with each other! Right after we graduated, both of us got transferred to this very hospital to work. He was stable and all, both his career and economically .. so they .."
"Got married?"
"Yeah. They were still so in love after they got married and they got themselves a daughter which is my niece; Anna. She was like an angel created by the god just for them. Smart and so loveable but maybe you know .. the god loves her so much more that He wants to see her earlier .."
"Huh? What happen??"
"It turns out that Anna got cancer and it was too critical when they finally noticed it. She was so young .. too young to go through all those sufferings .. Both my big sister and Rome tried their very best to cure her but it was all hopeless. Finally, before she passed away .. she said something to both of them .."
"Which is?"
"She asked them .. 'Mummy .. Daddy .. even my life don't have happy endings .. why should fairy tales?' .. and even before they wanted to answer her .. there were no more pulse." Donna gave out a sigh right after finishing the last word.
"What? That's s-so sad .. " There were now tears in both of her eyes.
"Yeah, I know .. her not living anymore really troubled them a lot .. I, myself, as their close relative don't know what I could do to lessen the burden .."
"Is that why Rome .. you know .. look so depressed and all .. I could see it from his eyes, I don't think he really did -- sleep." Rita asked in a concerned tone.
"Sadly, nope. He finally managed to accept it and move on .."
"Then? How come he's still like that .."
"The reason is because of .." She paused. "His wife."
Maybe their conversation was a little longer than they had expected. It was now morning or we could say it was going to turn sunny in any minute.
