The Love Struggle of Young Miss
252

In a hospital room with a predominance of white, a beautiful girl lay helplessly with an infusion hose stuck in her right hand, while her left hand was wrapped in bandages. The girl's face looked so pale. While a handsome man was sitting at the side, still feeling very anxious about the girl. However, a few minutes later her smile expanded as the two girls' eyes seemed to twitch and then slowly open.

"You're conscious, Jas?" asked Febian with a happy look.

"Bi, am I alive?" Jasmin replied weakly.

"of course. I'll call the doctor first." Febian was about to get up, but Jasmin held the man's arm. Febian turned his head towards Jasmin for a moment before he turned his face away as his heart was throbbing again when he saw the two globes of Jasmin's eyes that were so sad.

"Are you helping me? Why did you let me live?" Jasmin's voice sounded raucous even his eyes looked wet.

"I won't let you die your own way, Jas. You have to remember that your life has to go on." Febian smiled bitterly as he felt his blood rustle.

"I love you, but I've hurt you. I don't keep my own chastity, so what's the point of me staying alive, Bi? I just hurt everyone!" Jasmin's tone rose by an octave.

Febian finally sat his body on the edge of the gurney and clasped Jasmin's hand tightly. His eyes turned red, but Febian tried hard to hold back his tears from falling.

"Jas, everything that happens is God's will. Maybe this is how God tells us that we will never mate. I'm sure Damian is a good, responsible man. I'm sure he can take care of you and love you sincerely." Febian blinked his eyes quickly.

"I love you, I don't love Damian. We're doing that because we're both unconscious, Bi."

"Jas, it's not that you don't love Damian, but that you don't love him yet. Learn to open your heart to her and I will learn to erase my feelings for you. I'm sure we'll be happy with each other's path." Believe me, at this time the man was trying hard to resist such a turbulent feeling and crumbled his heart into pieces.

"Bi ...."

"Remember, your parents love you very much. There's both your brothers too and I'm sure Damian loves you too. Accept the proposal of him who is earlier than me. Trust me, I will always pray for your happiness."

Jasmin was about to open his voice, but someone who entered hurriedly managed to make the girl's lips shut up instantly even Febian got up and stood beside the gurney.

Febian's heart hurt when he saw Damian who was so attentive to him. Yes, from this moment on he must try to erase his feelings for Jasmin.

"Jas, since Mr. Damian has come, I'll go home first. There's still work to be done" said Febian, distracting them.

"Thank you, Mr. Febian." Damian spoke politely. Febian just nodded then stepped wide from the room. However, just coming out of the door, a call from Damian was able to make Febian's move come to a halt instantly.

"What else, sir?" asked Febian in a flat tone.

"Sir, I know that you still love Jasmin very much. I'm also sure that Jasmine must have said everything. Honestly, I didn't realize when I did that. May I ask your permission to account for my actions?"

Febian tried to pull both corners of his lips to form a smile that was so forced. "I'm happy that Jasmin finally got a man in charge like you. Happy Jasmin and I will completely erase my feelings for her."

"Thank you." Damian cupped both hands in front of his chest. "I'll take Jasmin home to Singapore."

"Be careful. Sorry, I can't drive you. My work is very busy right now." Febian finally went back to say goodbye because he could not stand being in the room that made his heart heat up even though it almost exploded.

Febian went into his private apartment. He looked at the photo of Jasmin still there. One by one he took down the picture and put it in a large cardboard box.

"Everyone deserves to love and have, but not everyone who loves each other can have each other. Thank you for making my life so colorful even though you finally inflicted such an excruciating pain. I'll erase your name from my life, Jas, and maybe I'll never know love again. Twice I loved and twice I got hurt."

Febian took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He immediately packed up the items and stored them in the warehouse.
