a little luck...

crystel and aidan were as confused as hell. they went to check with the doctor on what had happened to shawn.

it seemed that shawn was suffering from a temporary amnesia. the coma had wiped out partially of his memories temporary. and they were random memories.

it seemed that the amnesia was god's way of buying them more time.

more time to deliberate on breaking the news to shawn.

and they wondered how much time they had....

A little confusion

"Shawn?"

Shawn turned his head, and saw this couple coming into his hospital ward, both looking a little apprehensive as they approached him.

"Remember us?" the guy spoke.

"Aidan! I thought you were in USA?" Shawn tries to sit up and take a closer look, but struggled due to the lack of exercises for the past years.

"Dude, I've been back for over a year."

"A year?!?! You've mean I've been sleeping for a year?"

"Actually, more than that. Much longer."

"Oh my...by the way, who's the girl that's with you?"

Both Aidan & Crystel let out a chuckle. Shawn still haven't lost his sense of humour.

"Dude, this is Crystel."

"Aidan, don't bluff. This isn't her. I can recognise her, even when she's turned into ashes."

The seriousness of Shawn's tone & the look on his face took the couple aback. Shawn isn't joking.

Crystel pinches herself. "This isn't a dream," she thought, "What the heck is going on??"

a little apprehension...

Five minutes isn't very long and in no time, Aidan and Crystel were both approaching the hospital room that they knew so well.

As they were nearing the entrance of the ward, the footsteps of Aidan and Crystel both slowed down...they were unsure.

unsure of how to resolve the present situation, unsure of how shawn would react to their being together, unsure of how they would react themselves in such a awkward situation.

Right in front of the ward door, Aidan stopped and turned. Gripping both of Crystel's hands in his, he looked into her eyes and said fiercely.

"We will face this together. I will be right beside you. Do not worry..."

Crystel nodded, her eyes brimming with unshed tears and anguish. She leaned into Aidan to feel his strength and to renew her own. Sensing her need for assurance, Aidan pulled Crystel into a tight embrace.

While the couple was locked in a tight embrace, the ward door suddenly opened...

a little mad

Ten years later....











who cares about ten years later? The important thing is now. Crystel and Aiden had more things to worry about now than whatever will happen ten years later. They put on their dark jackets and went to get the car. Hurryingly, they were on the expressway driving to the hospital, hoping to catch a glimpse of Shawn if he managed to wake up.

Suddenly, a lorry came into their lane and managed not to hit them at the last minute. Crystel was still screaming when Aiden jam breaked on the car and they stopped beside the road to catch their breath.

"Did you see that?", Aiden asked.

"Of course I did, I aren't blind!", Crystel said after she stopped screaming.

Both of them were knocked down by the ambulence who was called on the scene to assist the lorry driver who had suffered a heart attack.

*tu.. tu... tu.... * [the pace meter "tu"s on near to Crystel's bed in the hospital]

Nurse 1: She is such a poor thing. I mean, how lucky can you get to be hit by the ambulence?

Nurse 2: Yeah, but why would the both of them be wearing dark jacket on a rainy night standing on the road? I don't get it.

Nurse 1: Such a poor thing.. *strokes Crystel's forehead..

[Meanwhile in Djibouti, one of the worst third country in the world]
Man with a deep Djibouti-accent: Hayden, you got call from US.

Hayden : Alright, let me administer this vaccine to the girl first.
To girl: There go you, aren't you a good girl, now go out and play with the other kids and don't step on any landmines, you hear?

Hayden : Hayden here, what is it?

Woman on phone: Hayden, your brother Aidan is dead. He died in a car accident.

Hayden: What? That can't be! I mean.. but... how... what??

Woman on phone: Yes, its true. Can you come back for the funeral. Her friend Crystel is alive, but she is in a coma.

Hayden: Crystel? Oh my gosh, I will take the next trip back.

And so it is, as the saga continues....

a little phonecall...

she was having problems sleeping. she tossed and turned in bed. somehow or rather, she had an uneasy feeling in her heart. she looked at Aidan, he looked so serene. it has been a good 3 years since they have been together. Aidan has also been hinting to her on bringing their relationship further.

she always managed to change the subject everytime he tried to talk to her on getting married. afterall Shawn and her were preparing to get married until the dreadful accident had happened. she wondered if she was a jinx to Shawn and she was scared that once she agrees to Aidan, that things will happen.

she knew it wouldnt be fair to Aidan too for Shawn has always been the one she loved the most. she felt guilty getting together with Aidan but she followed her heart. everyday she prayed for forgiveness from Shawn. thankfully Shawn parents did not blame her. they were even happy that she had finally moved on. it was important to her that they did not blame her, for they were the only family she had left.

she shed a tear thinking about the accident. it had left a scar on her physically and mentally. just as she was in deep in thoughts, her concentration was broken by the ringing of the phone. her heat was beating furiously. she picked up the phone and listened intently.

after the phonecall, she woke Aidan up. she didnt know what to feel. she felt so numb. Aidan woke up in a hurry.

"baby, what happened? why are you trembling?" Aidan said.

Crystel avoided his searching eyes and just whispered three words. "Shawn is awake".

he stared at her, not knowing what to feel. should he feel happy that his bestfriend is awake? or should he feel guilty knowing he is in love with his bestfriend's fiancee.

Crystel and him got ready to go to the hospital. they can only hope for the best.

A little consicous

Its 4am in the morning. The nurses are doing their rounds in the hospital. Giving out medicines to patients, checking their temperatures and assisting old patients to the restrooms.

Its this intern's turn to check on Shawn. The intern always felt so sad for Shawn as he's still young and is cute. She needs to turn him around to his side so he won't get bed sores. Then she can feel something holding her finger. The nurse was shocked and she realise she looking into a pair of brown eyes.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!" The nurse scream so loudly like shes screaming for her life. On duty doctor and nurses rush in and saw Shawn holding her and then urse still screaming. The nurses quickly hush the intern and get her out of the room. The doctor did a check on Shawn and realise he had regain consciousness. They quickly run some checks on him. They started to remove the life support machine.

"Crystel" Shawn mumbles faintly.

One of the doctor saw him moving his lips nad put his head nearer to Shawn's mouth. Shawn just mumble "Crystel" and went into unconsciousness. "Quick put him on the drip."

"Whos Crystel?Is it the girl who always visit him late at night?" The doctor was wondering.

"Doctor, you there?" He came back to reality.

The doctor follow the nurse. Right now, the most important thing is to save Shawn before finding out who's Crystel.

A little miracle

Meanwhile, in the hospital...

Visiting hours were over. All that was left in Shawn's room is the medical equipments that had been accompanying him for the past years.

Sadly, no living soul was there to witness the slight movement on Shawn's pinkie. It gave a little twitch, perhaps giving out a sign of hope to Crystel, Aidan & friends around.


If only the equipments could talk...

a little secret

Walking away from the couple, Sheryl started to remincise about the past..

Before Shawn was in coma, they used to work very closely together, though hes her superior,he always helped her in work and in everyway he could. Sheryl knew hes happily attached with Crystel, she just couldn't help herself but habour the hopes that she may have a chance to be with him.

There was this gala dinner that Shawn needs to go but Crystel was not in town and its compulsory that he need to bring a date so he asked Sheryl to be his partner for that night and she readily agrees..She knows that he asked her because Crystel was not in town but she was happy enough. Just one night, she can hold his hand and be his "official" girlfriend for just the night.

She went home, give herself a long soak in the tub. Change into her most sexy but elegant dress and wear her mum's earrings. The doorbell ring, she gave herself a last look and went to open the door.

"Woah, you look good..Ready?"

Sheryl nodded her head.

It was a night of fine dining, wine and dance. They were together the whole time, never leave each other for more than five minutes. They decide to leave at 12 midnight as Shawn needs to get up early to pick Crystel up from the airport. Sheryl felt a pang of disappointment as the night going to end.

Shawn drove her back and sent her up to her place. Sheryl invited him in for coffee, as Shawn had a little too much drinks so he agreed. Taking off his tux, he rest his head on the sofa.

Sheryl look at him and couldnt resist herself and started to kiss him. Shawn was shocked and pushed her away. Sheryl started to confess her love for him and telling him how lonely she is. All she wants is just some companionship and satisfy her sexual cravings. Staring at him,she slowly took off her dress. Shawn just stare at her, couldnt resist the temptation and kiss her.

It was a night of passionate and wild love making. When Shawn woke up, he was remorseful and wanted to apologise to Sheryl but she hush him.

"Shawn, its not your fault and i really like you. All i want is just some companionship from you. I won't ask for more, i promise."

Its been a year and no one knows about their relationship, not even Crystel. When she saw her just now, she was dying to tell Crystel as she felt resentment towards her till the extent she wants her dead...

Sheryl shook her head to clear her mind. She need her pills now.

a little wayward

he was running late. he had spent the last twenty minutes pacing about at the hospital entrance, contemplating what to say to Crystel.

he could find no words to describe how he felt about shawn. about her.

his mobile phone lit up, vibrating with a life of its own. it was a sms from her.

"are you still coming?"

"yes." and with that, he started toward the hospital ward.

their eyes met as he opened the room doors and at that instant, their environment seemed to fade into nothingness, leaving just the two of them.

he read weariness, despair and hurt in her haunted eyes. he started to reach out to her, wanting to draw her closer so that he could absorb all that into his own body to release her from her torment.

but his hand freezed midway as one word flashed in his mind.

shawn.

A little more time...

She stared at Shawn. He looked as if he was sleeping. All peaceful and serene. and probably having a sweet dream. Unfortunately it seemed that the dream was not gonna end anytime soon.

It has been 2 years since Shawn has slipped into a coma. She felt so alone in the world and she felt that whatever hope she had was diminishing rapidly with every day that passes.

Her friends told her to move on. To date again. Meet someone new. Someone to hold her and give her happiness. But whenever she tried to do so, she'll feel as if she was cheating on him.

Perhaps she just needs a little more time. She felt like she has betrayed Shawn by feeling tired of caring for him and waiting for him to wake up. She wondered if she still loved him or was it just an obligation.

She wished he would wake up and hold her in his arms and tell her everything will be alright. Where they could continue doing the things they did. Perhaps soon they will, perhaps all they need was a little more time.

She felt tired forcing a smile for all to see when all she wanted was to cry alone in the dark. And now with the sudden appearance of Shawn's bosom friend Aidan, she needed to be strong again.

Aidan was supposed to meet her today at the hospital. She wondered, what was keeping him....
