It's SWEET and BITTER - Episode (1)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          I started knowing Eugene when my parents' shop shifted to the Clementi estate when I was Primary 3. His parents' shop was just one shop away from us. They were barbers while my parents opened a printing shop. Initially, I patronized his parent's shop to get my hair cut, which was how I got to know Eugene. He was one year older than me and he was in the Basketball CCA, and of course, in the school team too. On the other hand, my CCA was Modern Dance. We were in different primary schools at that point of time. Later on, his parent's shop owner decided to sell the shop away. In order to have a shop for them to earn a living, they came and rent half a shop from my parents who of course got permission from their own shop owner. Just like that, from being one shop away from us, they became our next-door neighbors. Both families established a friendship, and we often bring their family out to eat and show them the different types of delicious food around Singapore.

          Eugene has an older and a younger brother, while I had an older sister. His older brother was one year younger than my sister,who was five years older than me, while his younger brother was two years younger than me. There was this one time when his mother was chatting with my mother and she jokingly said that in the future when we have grown up and they have grown old, my sister would become a couple with her eldest son, while I would become a couple with Eugene. And just like that, I started to like Eugene.

They rolled him into the operating room. The red light was on. *Please let him be okay. If not I'll never be able to forgive myself. Never ever. Please. PLEASE!*

It's SWEET and BITTER - Prologue

Heyhey! As promised I thought of a story! A short start though. Please enjoy. :D
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          "Ailee!" Who called me? Before I could turn around to look at who it was, a pair of hands came pushing me and I fell to the floor. What just happened? I turned around. There was a blue Mitsubishi Lancer, with a terrified driver inside. Behind the blue Mitsubishi, lay a person who was unconscious and bleeding profusely. I ran towards him and shook him hard. "Wake up, wake up. You can't sleep. Wake up. Wake up! EUGENE WAKE UP!!!"

          The police came. The ambulance arrived. The police are questioning me and the driver. The paramedics were doing first aid for Eugene. What did the police said? I can't speak. My eyes were fixed at his area where he lay unconscious. "Will he die?" I asked the police officer quietly. "Well... it depends. I can't tell you for sure now. You want to follow the ambulance?" I nodded. I must be there. "All right I'll tell them to let you follow, but you'll have to answer my questions, okay?" 

          We were in the ambulance. They said we were heading towards the Singapore General Hospital. He had an oxygen mask over his face. I stared at him throughout the journey. There was only this moment when he unconsciously woke up and spoke something. The paramedics bent over to hear what he was trying to say. He was lifting his right hand up at the same time. The female paramedics turned to me and said "Are you Ailee?" I nodded. "He's calling for you." I held his hand in mine. He smiled at me and fell unconscious again.
