A Thousand Flowers
Chapters 38. The Heartache
“Stop here, Mister!”
Seo Hyun stopped the car. Izzah stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Luck it has arrived. Otherwise, my secret could be revealed!”
THE PLAAK!
Suddenly a slap landed on Izzah's cheek. A beautiful woman stood her way with a red face filled with anger.
“Women's basis ******! How dare you snatch my future fiance!”
Shin Seo Hyun was surprised not to be dumbstruck to hear the sound of a woman who was familiar in her ear. He rushed down from the car to the two women facing each other.
Izzah stroked his slapped cheek and remained calm.
“What do you mean, Miss?”
“Do not pretend to be stupid! Tell me, what do you want from Shin Seo Hyun. You're just after the treasure, aren't you?"
Seeing the woman in front of him not answering, the woman's emotions further exploded. He moved his hand back to slap Izzah.
Shin Seo Hyun shouted preventing and speeding up her run.
”Stop, Kim Se Na!”
However, the woman seemed to have been cared for by her anger.
Just as the woman's hand was about to touch her cheek, Izzah gripped the woman's wrist called Kim Se Na.
Seo Hyun stopped her steps. He didn't expect Izzah to fight back. The woman also grimaced with pain.
“Women's basis *****!”
The resistance of Izzah made the flames of anger in Kim Se Na's chest even more burning. He raised another hand. Again Izzah clutched him, making Kim Se Na even more painful.
“I told you, my refusal has nothing to do with this woman. Why are you still insistent too?”
“Cuih!”
Kim Se Na spat on Izzah's face, angering Shin Seo Hyun. He approached Kim Se Na. However, Izzah's sharp gaze stopped his steps.
“Have you ever loved this woman, Mr Shin?”
Kim Se Na and Shin Seo Hyun were both aghast at Izzah's question.
"No. I never loved him.”
Shin Seo Hyun replied loudly, despite not understanding what was in Izzah's head at the time. All he knew, he had to be honest. That'sthat's all.
Izzah turned his gaze to look at Kim Se Na.
“You've heard it yourself, Miss. If I were you, I wouldn't waste my pride just chasing after the man who never gave his heart to me.”.
He glanced at Shin Seo Hyun at a glance, then looked back at Kim Se Na's eyeballs. “Why? Because for a woman, marrying a man who doesn't love her is the same as handing himself over to a piece of useless trash. His life will feel like hell. Is such a life what you want, Miss Kim Se Na?”
The series of words that slid from Izzah's lips felt more painful to Kim Se Na than the clutches on both her hands. In fact, Shin Seo Hyun also felt insinuated.
Slowly the look in Kim Se Na's eyes began to dim.
"If that is what you want, please continue your struggle, Miss. But ... If I may give you a suggestion, love the man who also loves you and live happily!”
Finished saying so, Izzah let go of his grip, then left Kim Se Na standing at his feet.
Seeing Shin Seo Hyun walk after Izzah without turning her head in the slightest, Kim Se Na returned to her parked car not far from the hospital gate. It seems he was deliberately waiting for the presence of the woman he had just hit.
Kim Se Na cried slumped her head on the steering wheel of the car. Izzah's words awakened him. Slowly he started his car and left the place.
In the hospital courtyard, Izzah wiped his face with a tissue. Shin Seo Hyun aligned the steps with Izzah.
“I'm sorry. All who befell you for my fault.”
Shin Seo Hyun felt very guilty for letting Izzah get involved in her personal troubles.
“If you cannot love a woman sincerely, then stop giving hope. That way, events like this will never happen.”
MISTRESS!
Izzah's words hit Shin Seo Hyun's heart. Again Izzah surprised him with an unexpected side.
“This strange girl is very outspoken.”
Izzah passed through the IGD room and went straight to the toilet to wash his face. Seo Hyun headed for her office.

“Zah, lunch outside yuk!” take Kang So Ra.
He was standing next to Izzah.
“Now?”
“Iya. Others are already waiting outside.”
“Shortly. I cleared this first yes ...”
Izzah tidied up some of the patient documents that were on the table.
“OK. Let’s go!”
Arriving at the restaurant, Izzah's colleagues have occupied their respective positions. Izzah and Kang So Ra sat at a table located in the corner. A little hidden from the crowd, but could freely see the people passing by along the street in front of the restaurant.
Izzah enjoys his lunch in a relaxed manner, interspersed with small talk and funny stories of Kang So Ra.
From a table, a man repeatedly glanced at Izzah on the sidelines of his conversation with a business relationship, as if he wanted to make sure the girl had not left.
Shin Seo Hyun who felt ignored because her interlocutor often glanced past her shoulder became curious. He deliberately dropped the pen lying in the corner of the table with the back of his hand.
“Oh .. Sorry!”
Shin Seo Hyun lowered her head to pick up the pen on the floor while looking at the visitor sitting behind her desk.
Suddenly his chest felt tight when he saw Izzah smiling sweetly in the corner of the restaurant.
“Aaah .. so that strange girl who has stolen the attention of Mr. Dimas.”
Shin Seo Hyun held back furious. Carried with emotion, he tried to end the meeting as quickly as possible. His heart burned every time he watched his interlocutors glancing at Izzah.
Park Joon Soo who always accompanied Shin Seo Hyun was surprised by the director's behavior.
“Good. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Shin.” Dimas smiled, greeting Shin Seo Hyun.
“Sama-sama, Mr. Dimas.”
Shin Seo Hyun clasped Dimas' hand tightly, making Dimas' eyebrows raised, astonished. In a hurry he let go of his hand.
“Izzah! It's really Izzah, right?”
On the way out, Izzah turned his head and stopped his steps when he heard someone calling his name.
“Mas Dimas!” Izzah was no less surprised.
“Waaah .. It turns out that this world is really narrow huh .…”
Dimas laughed cheerfully. Izzah showed her a sweet smile. Making Shin Seo Hyun who was still standing near Dimas become heart-heated.
“It looks like so. How are Uncle and Aunt?”
“Alhamdulillah is fine. You don't want to know Ki Daud?”
Shin Seo Hyun clenched her hands hearing Dimas ask in a seductive tone.
“Ah .. they already know each other apparently.” Seo Hyun grumbled.
“Of course I want to know. Ki Daud is fine, right?”
“Ya,” says Dimas. “Do you have free time?”
Izzah saw the clock. “Thirty minutes.”
“OK, that's enough!”
Dimas glanced at Kang So Ra.
“Sorry, Miss. Can I borrow your friend for a minute?”
Kang So Ra looked at Izzah. Izzah smiled, then introduced Dimas to Kang So Ra.
“Alright, Mr. Dimas. Make sure you return Izzah safely!” kang So Ra said, leaving behind Izzah and Dimas.
From the terrace of the restaurant, Shin Seo Hyun stared coldly at Dimas and Izzah entering the car until the car disappeared in the crowd of Seoul City traffic.
