C27 Encounter

Third Person's POV

HAZEL couldn't understand herself. Why did she let herself accept that proposal? It wasn't in her plan- their plan did that thing, but her mouth and body seemed to have a life of their own because of agreeing to it.

Arnold Bustamante, the Major General of this Country, offered her to be their camp/quarter Doctor or their Nurse's. She doesn't want to be with them, but it seems that her body, soul and mind were their allies. She doesn't want to be in danger. But, why the hell did she accept that ?! She doesn't even know why her body and mind reacted that way.

Her head hurts mentally because of the deviation of their plans. It can't be broken, but why would she break it herself? Aside from deviating from their plans, she was also nervous. She could not understand the excessive speed of her heartbeat. No matter what she did to take a deep breath and calm herself, she was only more nervous than she could comprehend.

The hell! Why is my heart beating like this? Will something bad happen? Badness! Huh? She's really crazy!

She looked at the high-rise building of the police headquarters. She was shaken and tried to calm herself, but nothing really happened, her anxiety only got worse.

Like duh? What's up? Will she go to war? She can't think straight. What the fuck happened? She can't even think clearly.

Hazel forced herself to calm down, even though she really couldn’t. She proceeded to go inside and searched the Major's office. She was glad to see him. He was talking to someone, the other man turned his back on her, so she couldn't see the man's face.

"Major!" She called him with a smile on her face. They looked at her at the same time. Her glances at Major earlier slowly went to the person he was talking to earlier. When their eyes met, she was completely out of breath.

Ghad! What does it make me feel? It feels like she knows him. Who the hell is this man? Do I know him?

"Z-zarie?"

She frowned at the name that the man mentioned. Her eyebrows met even more as the man approached her with tears in his eyes.

"I-I'm not Zarie." She said with a trembling voice.

RYKER doesn't want to assume, but his mind and heart tells him that she is Zarie. They are really look alike. The way she smiled, the way she moved, the way her body acts, and even her voice was telling him that she is his wife.

With the trembling body, he approached the woman. He hugged her. He really missed her so damn much! Ryker felt her stiffened. He could hear the woman's rapid heartbeat accompanied by his rapid heartbeat. He feels like he already found his home.

Ryker's hug with Hazel tightened even more while her, she didn't know why, she was being, stiffened. She could not understand why the man behaved like this. She forced him to away from her. She's having a hard time because he doesn't want to let go, and she's annoyed with him.

"I am not her!" She shouted loudly at the man.

The man let go of her tight embrace. His face went dark while clenching his jaw.

"You are!"

"I am not!"

"Fuck! Why do you have to lied?!"

My eyebrows met as a sign of irritation at him.

What is this man’s problem, and insists on the nonsense he is saying.

"Are you on drugs?" I could no longer control myself. I'm annoyed and if he doesn't stop, I'm really going to hit him. "You know, whoever you are, Mister. I don't know who Zarie is. I am not her and as far as I know I don't have an amnesia, so I'm not her. It's clear in my memories who I have been since I was a child. Until now," It is better to clear to this man that she is not the woman he thinks she is. I don’t want to have this while I’m working.

There's a tension between the two of Us. The way we stared at each other, the way our face making a frowned, and the way how we glared to each other. No one wants to lose between us.

Hah! I will never lose to him.

"W-wait guys!"

The tension between us broke when Arnold intervened. I looked at him badly.

"Guys! Easy, just wait... Dra. Hazel, this is Ryker, the police general."

I was slightly surprised by what he said. If that's how he is. I was almost unrecognizable, him.

Ryker remained staring at her. He said nothing but his eyes were still there trying to scan me.

Tsk. This madman is shocking.

I sneezed before shifting my gaze to Arnold. "Can I see where your clinic is? Or where my office will be?"

"A-ah? A-ah! Yeah! L-lets go,"

It’s another weird one.

We left Ryker there still staring at me. I even rolled my eyes at him when I got a chance to meet his gaze.

A long silence prevailed over Arnold and me as we made our way to the clinic. But the talkative one did not keep quiet and also spoke.

"I-I'm sorry for what general did. It just that, you look like his wife,"

I stopped walking and was stunned by what Arnold said. I don't know why, but my heart started beating fast. She felt like she was going to run out of breath with her heart beating so fast.

"W-where is his wife?"

Arnold's face shows the seriousness of his face. There was an evidence that he doesn't want to talk about it, but he can't deny the fact that he also want to tell the reason's why Ryker reacted that way, in front of me.

"I-it's ok if you don't want to answer,"

"She's dead...."

She swallowed and bowed. I felt sorry for him. I don't know what to say. All I can think is, I must say sorry for him. I couldn’t help but think of Ryker’s face earlier. The sadness in his eyes was the evidence that he was still mourning for his Wife.

"Let's go?"

I smiled slightly before I nodded.

This is the start. I should plan it carefully.
