Secret Doors

Airi’s P. O. V:Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

It’s evening and Portia is not yet awake. Jean leave for his duty already and I am getting sleepy. Mr. Everett returned already with food in his hands. “Eat.” He said and give me a plastic of food. “Thank you.” I thanked him. “You should take a rest after this.” He said. “Can I go home? I’ll just change clothes.” I asked if it was okay. “Sure, you can also sleep and get back tomorrow. I’ll take care of her.” He said and sit beside Portia.

I started opening the food and saw him kissing Portia’s hand. “Are you done having dinner?” I asked him and he looks at me. “Yes, enjoy your food.” He said. I put the other foods on the fridge for him later. I eat and look at the messages for Portia. I answered on behalf of her and then I look through my emails. “You have meetings tomorrow?” He asked and I nodded. “Attend everything for Portia. I’ll be staying here don’t worry. I’ll just notify you when she wakes up.” Mr. Everett said and I feel relieved.

“Thank you for helping us.” I thanked him and he just nodded. He busies himself with Portia, he cleans Portia’s face and hands. He also cleans Portia’s pillowcase and blanket. He took care of Portia so I don’t have to worry about going home. I suddenly feel sad for both of them. I don’t know much about their relationship but all I know is they are both fighting for each other. I finished eating and I fix all the trash I made and clean the table.

I fix myself in the comfort room so that when I get out I can go straight home. When I get out of the comfort room I saw Mr. Everett leaning his head beside Portia. He was already asleep so I fixed my bag and when I was about to leave I woke him up. He opens his eyes and looked at me, it was intimidating. “I’ll be leaving your food is on the fridge just microwave it if you are hungry. Here is my card, call me once she wakes up. Thank you so much.” I said and he nodded.

“Take care.” He said and goes back to sleep again. Maybe he still has jetlag from his flight so I just let him be. I headed outside the hospital where my car is parked.

Portia’s P. O. V:

I opened my eyes in a room filled with flowers. I saw Levi sleeping beside me so I woke him up but he doesn’t want to be bothered. “Where are we, Levi?” I asked him but he was still not awake so I get out of bed and roam around the room. The flowers are indeed beautiful and everything around here is so pretty like I am in a dream. I found a door in the middle end of the room.

I run through it and open it hoping to find fresh air and sunlight. But the moment I open the room I saw the man who stabbed me. He runs after me but gladly I automatically closed the door. I run to Levi but every time I tried to reach him he become far from me. The killer is almost done destroying the door. I run and run until I can reach Levi. But when I reached him the killer also reach me.

He’s going to stab me but I manage to dodge it. He swings two knives to catch me so I run. I saw him stab Levi but Levi disappeared. I run at the door and the killer catches me but I bite his hand and run outside the door. I saw Levi there waiting for me and as soon as I reached him the killer suddenly appeared and stab him but he disappeared again and he appeared in front of me.

Levi hugged me and we both fell onto something very black. I can’t see the end of it but Levi is holding my hand it made me strong and brave even if I don’t know where would we will exactly land or if there is an end to this. When we land it’s still dark and I can’t see anything even Levi. But I can feel his hand holding me so I don’t feel scared. My body feels heavy and my head hurts it also feels like I am laying on a soft mattress.

I can feel my legs but I can feel something heavy on my left hand. I closed my eyes again to feel what was inside this dark place. Then I tried to open my eyes. My eyes feel heavy but I manage to open them. As I opened my eyes I feel like I open my ears too. I heard someone talking. I closed my eyes again as I can’t handle the sudden light, it feels like it was poking my eyes.

Narrator’s P. O. V:

Levi wakes up at Portia holding his hand. Portia is shaking and her heartbeat is fastening. Levi called the doctors immediately not letting go of Portia’s hand. “Everything will be fine Portia. Hold on.” Levi told to his dearest Portia with all his heart. He was worried you can see it through his eyes. His collected aura left his existence as he sees Portia suffers. A minute after his call, the room is now filled with doctors responding to Portia’s sudden body changes.

Even with the doctors running tests on Portia, Levi didn’t let go of her hand praying to God she will be saved. He holds her hand tight as Portia holds on for her life. He makes sure in every breath she takes he is beside her. Relief was in everyone’s eyes when she finally opens her eyes and her heartbeat slowly returns to its normal beat. A word left her mouth.

“Levi.”

A word escape her mouth the only person she always wanted to call. Her reasons in life. The reason she wanted to fight and lose. Hearing Portia’s voice on the other hand made Levi feel that he can now breathe. His heartbeat was now again beating fast and irregularly because she is here now. A heavy sigh left his beautiful lips as he saw the only love of his life alive. Thorns and debris left Levi’s heart as he saw her beautiful eyes looking and only searching for him.

He welcomes her with a warm hug and he whispered things to her that will make her blood rush and send her cheeks on a tinted red rush if she’s only in a normal state. “I love you.” He whispered. “I’m proud of you my dear Portia. You made it.” He whispered. Portia cries and hugs him. “I miss you.” She cried but Levi quickly dried does tears away. “Shh, don’t cry. It may be bad for you.” She comforts her. He left a kiss on Portia’s forehead as the doctor excuse themselves to check on Portia.

Levi leaves the room without any worries in his mind but he never forgets Airi whose also waiting for her best friend. He made a call which Airi quickly answered. “She’s awake come back here.” He said. “Okay, wait for me I’ll be there,” Airi said hurriedly dressing up like a hurricane. Worries are lifted from her chest finally she can have a good rest as she knows her best friend is alright. Levi hangs up the phone and walks in a circle waiting for the doctor’s words.

Most and for all he’s excited to get back in to hug his only love. The doctor then gets out with Dr. Jean. Dr. Jean speaks about Portia’s condition to him. “Portia is doing great now. We just needed to run some tests for her full recovery but we can assure you she is a hundred percent safe now.” Dr. Jean explains and he patted his shoulder. “Thank you for taking care of things. I’ll get inside.” Levi thanked him and he storm into Portia’s room immediately.

They both smile at each other. The smile they both long for how many days. It’s only a week that they don’t see each other but those smiles matter so much to them. Especially to Levi, it’s a gift to see Portia smiling at him as they both battle the battle of life and death. “How are you?” They both ask each other. “I’m doing good.” Portia cries. “I thought I was going to wait for you a thousand years,” Levi said and kiss Portia on her lips.

“I won’t make you wait that long.” Portia smiles at his statement. “But if you decided to play around and made me wait a thousand years. I’ll be waiting.” He admits not looking at his love like he was shy. “Me too. If ever I won’t be able to see the way back home. I’ll never get tired of walking until I found my way back to you.” Portia hugs Levi thanking God she is now with him.

Airi cleared her throat and it shocks both of them.
