The Dark Secret of the Actress
Chapter 5 - RGSA - The Room where Tatiana is Treated

Catalina packed the things she was going to bring.

Because he did not have many clothes, only the ones he wore and some in his backpack.

The clothes he was wearing this time were not too shabby. It was the best dress he had. But the price is far from expensive. Just a few pounds and yes, it was the last money he had before going hungry for two days.

That's as poor as it is. Really poor.

If he buys clothes, he does not eat, but if he does not buy it, he does not dress.

Life is cruel and unfair.

Finished packing, Catalina immediately left her apartment.

There was no residual taste left in this place. There is no sadness, at all. A shabby apartment, who would be sad if they left it? Even if he left the place he had been living in for many years and did not return, there would be no regrets in his life.

He was proud to be free of that damn place. Although the rent he had already paid in advance for the next year would not be refunded, he did not care. Money is nothing, nothing compared to Tatiana's life.

Catalina lives in Valdes, southeast Alaska, located in Prince William Sound 305 miles east of Anchorage. He had to go by train to Anchorage airport which was the nearest airport from where he lived. Which may also be the reason why Nick prefers Anchorage over Juneau, because it is quite close to where he lives. Just take the train, then it's arrived. No need to spend a lot of money.

Upon arrival in Anchorage, Catalina stayed at the airport while waiting for her flight time. Fortunately the flight was early in the morning, flying not long after his arrival, so he did not have to wait for days like a vagrant.

He got on a plane and immediately the plane flew away to take him to London. One transit and fifteen hours later the plane landed in London.

No need to drive around like crazy, Catalina sure Nick picked her up. And sure enough, he saw Nick standing there wearing a mask and sunglasses. Although his face was invisible, his curliness could not be covered as much as what mask and glasses covered his face.

Catalina. It's so useless.

Catalina walked towards Nick with slow steps. "You waiting for me?" his tanyanya once reached the man. The first time he got on a plane, it felt quite stressful. But he doesn't want Nick to find out or the rotten man will taunt him to death.

"I knew you were coming" Nick said proudly. He believes Catalina is coming, and yes, the girl is really coming. He offered the girl a mask, a hat and sunglasses. "Wear this!" his orders.

"Uh huh." Catalina receives Nick's gift without asking much questions and wears it. "You really seriously want me to come?" He didn't count. No. gabe. He already guessed. He was sure Nick really wanted him to come. And it turned out that the man was actually waiting for him at the airport. He was slightly moved, and should he change his opinion of the man?

Nick raised his eyebrows. "You know now?" He already said that he was very serious, but who would not believe it? Catalina right? Now the girl asked casually, does her conscience not hurt?

Catalina smiled a little. "I expected it." It was just that his confidence level did not reach one hundred percent.

"Now you believe, right?"

"You forced me to believe it" Catalina chimed in. Some time ago, he began to make peace with the circumstances. It was not that Nick was so convincing, he simply could not maintain his arrogance as it was not his place to act arrogantly. And yes, that character was useless to a poor person like him.

Nick was satisfied. "Good." He was grateful that there was at least some hope of reviving Tatiana's name.

"I can't let the person who hurt my sister live a smooth life anyway" Catalina added. He was determined to see what Tatiana's life had been like, as well as the despicable faces that had hurt her.

Catalina will let Nick take advantage of him because he will do the same. They used each other, there was no loss at all.

Moreover, Catalina was a rude girl. Just like how he lived his life. He would not let anyone bully his sister. Quite a time, even because of his ignorance, because of his absence. Once he found out, once he was here, he would not let them bully and live above his suffering.

Wait and see what he does.

"I love your strong determination" Nick said. "Now, we're going to the hospital. Tatiana must be glad you came." Finished saying, he took Catalina to his car and took her to the hospital.

It only took sixty minutes and the car was parked neatly in the hospital.

After getting out of the car, they took the elevator and walked down the corridor, then they arrived in front of the room where Tatiana was being treated.

"He's being treated here" Nick chanted, pointing to a room that was quite hidden.

Nick pulled her away and took her to a self-cleaning place. After washing their hands and performing a series of cleaning procedures, they return to their original place.

Nick put the card on and the door opened. He has private access to Tatiana's in and out of treatment. So there is no need to ask for anyone's consent to come visit. Whenever he wants, he can come.

When Catalina came, she was stunned for a moment. Besides being hidden, this place is also safe and protected. As if to prevent the arrival of the disinterested, this place seemed to be created specifically for Tatiana.

Seeing how Tatiana was treated, Nick was definitely not an indiscriminate person. Indeed, it is not difficult for people who have money to get privileges. But the problem is, without connection, the privilege is also not easy to get.

Catalina looked at Nick and her feelings became complicated. It is clear that Nick's role in Tatiana's life is worth taking into account. But, is it true that their relationship is only limited to actresses and managers?

As the footsteps drew closer, the figure of the girl lying on the bed became more and more clearly visible. The more visible it was, the more Catalina felt fear. The more obvious the reality, the more afraid he is to find out.

Catalina hopes that she is not Tatiana, but reality does not change as far as she wishes.

There's no doubt, right, that's Tatiana.

And the longer he looked, the more reality seemed real.

Despite not meeting for more than ten years, it did not make Catalina doubt it. His face is very similar to her. Once he saw, he knew right away that she was the girl. The girl he dreams of every night after their breakup.

Beloved girl.

Tatyana.

Staring at her pale face, Catalina felt a lump in her throat and she slightly pursed her lips. Once some emotions are aroused, it will be difficult to suppress them.

Apart from that, he also could not take control. Maybe this is his nature. He was helpless when faced with Tatiana.

"You can touch it if you want" Nick's hoarse voice broke the silence. Other than the beeping sound, this place was so quiet. As if this room was created specifically for patients with vegetative conditions like Tatiana, this place is a little gripping. Does not create an impression of peace, but instead creates a frightening impression.

Catalina jerks. He's a little confused. "Can I?" tanyakanya. When he was away from her, he once said he would hug and pamper her. But when he was in sight, he did not know what to do.

Nick nodded. "Uh huh."

Catalina walked over to Tatiana. Despite his fear, he forced himself to open his eyes wide. There is nothing to be afraid of, life always unknowingly reveals terrible things. Destroy all unrealistic innocent fantasies.

That cruel reality, it does exist and is real. One cannot avoid it, one only has to face it. I like it, not to like it, not to.

Catalina reached out and touched the top of Tatiana's head. As soon as he touched it, his feelings were mixed.

This warm feeling, is this real?

For a long time he had not felt it, and he who had forgotten how it felt, was finally reminded. It made his heart race very fast, yet he failed to hide his sadness.

The figure lying in front, very pale-faced, no trace of cheerfulness, no trace of happiness. The girl slept so peacefully in her sleep. As if whatever happened, wouldn't bother him, wouldn't wake him up. It's so bad, if it wasn't for the oxygen that was still working, anyone who saw it would think he was dead.

Catalina brought her face closer and whispered in her ear, "Tatiana, how are you? It's me, Catalina. Do you still remember me? I came to see you. You know why I came? I miss you so much. I want to see your smile. I want to see your happiness. You gotta get up and show me, okay? Hear you? I want to see your happiness. I'll always be by your side and wait until that wish comes true." Low voice. From the beginning to the end his tone remained the same, unchanged even though some emotions started to build up in his heart.

Not only did she rub the top of her head, Catalina's touch began to move to her face, then she ventured to touch her hand and hold it. "Tatiana, my life in Alaska is very good. But I miss you all the time. You know, I dream of you every night. Your smiling face, your laughter, and you're always clinging to me. Now, after all these years, it turns out I'm still the same, still very much in love with you. How're you? Did you miss me? Do you still love me? Do you remember me as much as I remember you?" A drop of clear without feeling shed on his cheek. But he hastily removed it. "Since I'm here, let me take care of you. Open your eyes and look at me. I'm here, for you. Open your eyes and wake up, Tatiana! You gotta get up! You gotta get up!" With the end of his words, tears flocked down without being prevented. He cried and could no longer say anything.

She's sad. Hugely.

Seeing how Catalina was sad to miss Tatiana, Nick approached and touched her shoulder. "Here, don't cry." Then he hugged her, rubbed her shoulders, tried to calm her down.

Not subsiding, Catalina's crying is getting louder. He hated looking fragile in front of others. He hated others knowing his sadness. But he forgets that if he is just an ordinary man, he cannot bear everything alone, he also needs a shoulder to lean on.
