•SAMARAH• (LAYANA)
The next day came, Klein , Erin and I immediately got ready to go to the hospital.
"Erin, can I ask you something?" I started while walking out of Klein's house here in Italy.
"what is it?" she asked looked serious and held my hand to support me.
"hmm.. About myself?" I answered that erin thought carefully.
"ah, Full name Layana Zayne Bonneville, turning 19 next year march 30. well i don't know about your mother and I'm not close with uncle heroux" she answered that I just listened silently.
"You didn't celebrate your 18th birthday because you had an accident and that 'thing' happened to you," he added.
for that thing she's referring to me went blind.
"wait, an accident?" frowned when I asked.
Erin helped me get into the car.
"car accident. then you woke up after a day and you couldn't see anything" she answered and fastened her seatbelt.
I was quietly listening to Erin's story
the car started as erin kept talking about layana.
"But how come I'm in a coma?" it was my question that made Klein stop typing on the phone and Erin's expression disappeared.
"U-uh? you committed suicide.." Erin replied softly making me frown.
this girl, layana committed suicide??
why??
"Mr. Giovanni , please take us to the Sant'Orsola-Malpighi Polyclinc" Klein ordered the driver which surprised erin.
"why dad? bologna is far from rome. i thought we were going to Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli?" Erin asked in surprise.
"I thought about it and I know katana very well, she might do something about this so I changed the hospital" Klein answered simply and Erin nodded because it really makes sense..
*•*•*•
We arrived at the office of the cornea surgeon who will going to operate on my eyes.
explaining how the corneal transplant procedure can be done.
"the transplant will heal in 2 or 3 days" he added that he just nodded to Klein while I was nervous how to talk to a serious doctor who doesn't know how to smile!
shit.
"Please change into a hospital gown and lie down in your room, my people will help you later" The doctor ordered us. Klein and Erin got up and were ready to leave, but they immediately turned to me, surprised because I didn't get up from my seat.
"Layana?" erin called my name which made me look at her.
"Ah, I want to talk to the doctor..." I answered, making Erin frown.
"you.." gave me a suspicious looked and then suddenly smiled.
"Are you thinking of plastic surgery?" she asked again making my eyes widen.
"y-yeah" I nodded to her and she just laughed and then they went out and the doctor and I were left looking at me seriously.
"what is it, Miss Bonneville?"
"you see, can I ask you for a favor doc?" I asked back.
He looked me straight in the eyes and then grinned.
"you can see huh" He said with a smirk on his lips.
"yeah very well" I also grinned at him and raised my head.
"so what is it?" He asked
"I will go to the corneal transplant but without you guys touching my eyes. I'll pay you quadruple if you join my play" I answered directly which made the doctor laugh.
"I don't know what you're planning, miss Bonneville, but let me out of there. I'm a doctor not a liar" He replied making me grin.
I brought my face closer to him and stared at him.
"well I'm not telling you to lie, Pretending and fool them that the surgery went well, that's all" I took a ring from my pocket with an expensive diamond in the middle and made of pure gold.
That ring is very rare and thanks to Layana because she has something like that hidden in her accessories.
'sorry for taking your ring Layana but I really need it'
"here's the contract, no need to sign just take it and say yes" I smiled at him as he stared at me and slowly took the ring from the table.
"see you later, Doc"
*•*•*•
and just like what we agreed about.
I went to the Operating Room and fell asleep due to anesthesia.
I woke up with very dark vision, I could not see any light.
so I immediately touched my eyes and that's when I found out that my eyes were covered with a bandage.
right, 2 to 3 days before recovery even if I did not participate in the procedure, I still have to endure this situation for 3 days.
I took a deep breath and then closed my blindfolded eyes and let myself fall asleep.
*•*•*•
•HAYDEN•
I thought a few days without her is a jackpot for me and Aella. but i can't think of anything but her...
"hayden!!" I stopped walking in the hallway when I heard my name being called happily..
it's her again..
her voice..
did she curse me?
I sighed and continued walking to the classroom.
it's been 2 days since she left..
and she didn't even say goodbye.
i mean it's a good thing that she's gone so i won't be distracted anymore and i can focus on aella.
but based on her behavior she won't leave without a word...
'did something happen to you layana?'
"..den.. Hayden!" I jumped in shock when khalid face suddenly appeared in front of me.
"what's wrong? you okay?" he frowned when he asked me that I just nodded and entered the classroom and went straight to my seat.
"what is it Mr. Khalid" I asked him sarcastically and sat in my seat.
khalid hurriedly sat in the chair in front of me and looked at me with a smile like a dog.
"i heard your brother is here. when's the celebration?" He asked excitedly that I blew out my breath in the air.
party again.
"dunno and don't care. why don't you ask him?" I answered him irritatedly, which him grinned at me.
"Wait, you're still not getting along? It's been a year" he asked remembering that. I leaned my back on the chair because of his question.
"We won't get along anymore. I thought he will support me and aella but it turns out he's against like mom. It's just annoying why they don't like the girl I love" I explained.
"oh! you really like aella huh?! HAHAHAHA! look at you! yeah that's right, there's nothing wrong with falling in love!"
I laughed a little at what he said.
Khalid and I's conversation about my brother ended immediately because Tyrus, Trevor and Luke entered the class and sat next to us.
"have you heard?" luke started and smiled big in front of me and khalid
We frowned at him because of his question.
"I heard that the celebration for those who passed the 1st sem will be held in Italy next month!" he happily explained which pleased khalid.
"really?! are you sure about that?! Shit! I'm excited!"
Italy...
*•*•*•
•SAMARAH• (LAYANA)
The three days I was in the hospital passed quickly.
and today is when they remove the bandage from my eyes..
"Yana.." I heard Erin called my name who was next to me while watching the nurses removing the bandage from my eyes.
"You can open your eyes now" I heard the doctor ordered which I slowly did.
I slowly opened my eyes and the light of the white room blinded me.
"a-are you okay?" Erin asked worriedly as I closed my eyes again because I was dazzled by the sudden light I saw.
"y-yeah.." I answered softly and opened my eyes again.
I saw the doctor who cooperated with my planned, smiled at me.
"can you see?" he asked and pretended to have a worried expression on his face.
I smiled and nodded in response.
the doctor faced Klein and said something to him about the medicines I will be taking.
•
We left the hospital in the afternoon and as we discussed with the doctor, Klein paid him and I quadruple the payment that I used layana's bank check without klein knowing.
"I'm glad that the surgery went well" said erin happily and took my hand which surprised me.
"u-uhm.. can you drop me at the nearby mall?" I asked Klein who was sitting in the passenger seat and turned to me.
"Why? You just removed the bandage from your eyes, what if it suddenly hurts" he answered and Erin nodded in agreement.
"i think it's better if you rest today" erin.
I shooked my head and simply removed my hand from Erin's hand.
"I also want to shop a new clothes. I'm thinking of replacing and donating the clothes in my closet when I get home"
even though they stopped me, they didn't do anything in the end.
"here's your new phone. Erin and I saved our numbers there so call us if something happens" Klein said seriously and reached for the light pink phone which I immediately took.
I waited for them to disappear from my sight before making my way out of the mall.
i'm in bologna now and i'm going to milan where the callistos live.
if i travel from Bologna to Milan on a high-speed Frecciarossa train in just 1h 1m on the fastest services. Traveling from Bologna to Milan by train is a fast and economical journey. if i take the bus it will definitely take 2 or 3 hours before i get to milan.
the time today is 1:11 PM so I can arrive in milan by 2:20 PM. i better be hurry..
•
as soon as i arrived in front gate of callisto's family, i reached the doorbell but i was not able to ring the doorbell because suddenly the gate opened and a young man was surprised like me.
"who..?" he asked with a frown on his head.
i frowned at him because he's not familiar to me.
"Isn't it Callisto's house?" I asked pointing to the wide garden and the beautiful mansion behind him.
He turned his head to the mansion and frowned as he faced me.
"who's your father?" I asked again because of the thought of my step brothers.
"You don't know him even if I tell" he answered sarcastically.
"aren't you callisto?" I asked again.
"no i don't know them" he answered with a serious look on his face.
I stared at him for a long time and so he did.
I didn't say anything more and turned my back on the young man and walked away with a question in my mind.
I'm sure that is callisto's mansion..
did they move??
"wait! miss!" I stopped walking and turned to look at the guy earlier running towards me.
panting, he stopped in front of me and took a deep breath before speaking.
"are you.. samarah?"
