Paramedics were rushing in, two nurses pulled the stretcher which contains a lovely woman with raven black hair stained with crimson red blood scattered all over her face. Oxygen mask was placed over her mouth and nose by another nurse trailing right beside the stretcher in fast movement.

A doctor with greying hair and white overalls held on to her hand telling her she'll be all right when the truth is...nobody knows what will happen in few hours to come.

Except the woman laying on the stretcher, the victim. She knows what the future holds for her, she knows deep in herself that whatever the doctor was saying was a lie, she knows she was just saying that not to make her panic and worsen her current situation.

She knows she won't survive it.

📈

They took her into the Emergency department (ED) and tried to keep her heart beating with the defibrillator, they placed it on the spot where her heart is and her body reacted to it by rising a falling back into the hospital bed.

The doctors and nurses looked tensed, each praying in their minds for the dying beauty lying on the bed.

Her heart beat was weak. They all watched as the machine indicated she was hopeless and won't survive. the doctor in charge motioned to a petite nurse whose eyes was shimmering in tears to pull the cover over her head, a sign that indicates all hope was lost except a miracle happens.

And it did.

📈

They all watched as the machine picked up back, showing that the heart it was connected to indeed was alive again, only it didn't last long. It was for a purpose.

Everyone in the room smiled at themselves. The doctors shook hands at their success and the nurses exchanged happy glances, they all left the room, leaving the victim with another girl opposite her bed the only thing separating them from each other being a green curtain.

With weak hands she drawled the curtain to a side, a motion she shouldn't have been able to do. But she did anyways, she saw who she saw in the dream she had before she was allowed to live for few more minutes.

The nurse stationed with her spotted her and moved to draw back the curtain and put her back in the bed but was stopped when the machine changed its course. The alarm was beeping loudly, informing everyone within 20 feet the danger in the room.

The nurse darted out of the room to bring the doctor only to smash into him as he was about to enter the room. Other nurses and doctors rushed in too.

The doctor in charge made a move to get the defibrillator when a hand reached out to grab hers. A nurse tried to put the oxygen mask back on her nose and mouth when she raised the hand that had a needle in it and smacked the nurse and the mask away from her mouth.

She opened her mouth to talk, tears were dripping down her eyes as she said her last words. 'After my death, give my heart to her. Tell Toby I love him'.

The death grip she had on the doctor loosened and her hands fell limply to her sides as she took in her last breath.

The doctor, with tears in her eyes looked down at the dead beauty and remembering her last words she turned and pushed the curtain to the side, revealing the girl with the smoking and the careless habit. she lived her life on drugs.

'Did she really deserve a good person's heart?.' Was the doctor's thought.

✏✏✏

Everyone parted for the crazy man who was running like a mad dog in a hospital. Didn't he know it was against the rule to run in a hospital? They all thought as they watched him run towards a particular direction.

As he enters the room, the doctors and nurses in his way splits just like how the sea parted at the sight of Moses's rod. They kept looking at him as he breath like a wild dog screaming her name over and over again even though it is obvious he wouldn't get an answer, not now, not ever again.

He finally realised that at a point and collapses on his knees beside her bed and holds her hand.

"Mara , please don't do this to me. Don't leave me.' When he didn't get answer he began to shout.

" Mara don't leave me! You promised! You promised to stay with me forever! You promised that you won't leave! Don't break your promise now, Mara. I need you now more than ever". The nurses started to drag him out but they couldn't so the security men had to help. It took three of them to do that.

"It is all my fault." Toby said to himself.

"I shouldn't have called her when I knew she was driving. I should have just cut the damn call!."

"She died because of my carelessness. I killed her." He said before collapsing.

And the curtain was drawn.

THREE HOURS BEFORE

"Toby!" Mara screamed her sluggish husband's name. It was an early Monday morning yet that husband of hers won't get it to his skull that they had to get to work early.

" leave me alone, Mara. I'm enjoying this shower. God knows I might not have this kind of opportunity again this week so leave me alone." He whined.

"Oh come on, don't be a baby." She tried again but after waiting for a few seconds in their bedroom she knew it would take more than that to make him come out.

"If you do not come out at this moment I'll come in there and drag you by the ears out." She tried hoping it would work.

"Ears? Who drags their husband by his ears? I'll very much appreciate it if you'd drag me by the...you know...d***?."

"Jesus! Toby! How many times have I told you not to say bad words? Will you keep saying stuff like that even when we have children? Of course I won't put it past you."

He snorted and pulled water into his lungs by the action alone. He coughed many times to get the water from his lungs. That startled Mara who ran into the bathroom fully dressed in slacks and a blue blouse with black blazers.

"What's wrong? Are you okay? Should I get a cup of water?." She asked sincerely concerned about her husband's health.

"Why would I need a cup of water when I have you with me here, always." He said then pulled her to his ***** body under the shower getting all her dress and hair soaked in the rain like shower. He lent down to place a kiss on her mouth when she shoved him off her and stepped out of the shower. He grunted and turned off the shower at the same time pulling the towel around his body.

"First of all, you pulled me in the shower when you are stark ***** and in the process wet my clothes. What did I do to deserve you my darling husband?." She asked with sarcasm laced in her voice.

Toby's eyes sparkled with mischief as he as answered by shaking his head vigorously causing his wet hair to release more water unto his wife's already wet face.

"That's it. I'm leaving you." She said and turned to leave but Toby stopped her by hugging her back to his wet body again. She nudged him in the ribs causing him to loosen his arms with an "ow."

"Serves you right for being a bad boy." She said before leaving the room.

"You could have just said ****, honey. It's not hard to say you know d-i-c-k. It's that easy." He called after her laughing.

"I'm going to make sure never to leave my child with you when we have one. I can't tolerate two brats in my life." She shot back.

"We're having a twin babe, one boy that'll always be with you and a girl with me, don't worry yourself too much I won't let her know d*** but she might know *****."

"Toby you're never going to teach my daughter that...that rubbish. Why will you teach your daughter pu.. Arrg...that..that dirty word. I'm not gonna say it but I won't let you corrupt the whole family with the stupid curse words and those ones too." She said totally avoiding saying the words she insisted were bad for someone as important and respected as Toby to say.

"Calm down Mrs Collins, ***** is cat too you know. But don't you think we should stop using condom? I think it's time to start having little ones, what do you say baby-bugga-boo?."

"Do not say that word Toby." She corrected, but her pale cheeks was already turning tomato at the word.

"What? I shouldn't say little ones too? OK then what should I call them? Little brats?." He asked even though he knew what exactly she was talking about but he just liked seeing her squirm. It turned him on but unfortunately she wasn't in front of him or they'd have ended up on the bed.

"No no no not that I meant the-the 'c' word". He could imagine how she was shifting on her feet by just saying that. He silently wondered how he got so lucky to get someone as pure she is.

" OK, you mean condom?." He said, deciding to let her off easily.

"Yeah, that one."

They were both silent for a while before she called out to him.

"I have to go now, Toby. Your coffee is on the counter hurry so it won't get cold". She said moving to get her purse from the couch in the living room and moving to open the front door.

" wait, wait for me plueese I'm almost done. I'm wearing my underwear already ." he whined.

"Seriously? Underwear?." She paused for a second before finally stepping out into the hot summer air of California and shutting the door close.

"do not take the Hyundai Tucson, Mara." He yelled after her even though he knew that was the exact one she was going to take.

♨♨♨

Ten minutes after Mara had gone, Toby went into the kitchen and picked the coffee off the counter.

"Shit, it's cold." He said with disgust and put the cup in the sink then walked out of the kitchen. He spotted a picture of Maya hung on the wall opposite the entrance of the kitchen and smiled to himself. He racked his brain for a pretend punishment to give her for leaving him and going to the office all by herself and found one.

He planned to introduce doggy style to her, right inside his office on his desk. He knew it would take of persuading and pouting but he was ready for it.

He entered the garage to find the Hyundai Tucson gone. He chuckled to himself and went towards the Toyota Highlander.

Again promising his self that he'd make her pay for it by making her scream his name so loud all the workers in the T&M company will know something is going on inside his office.

He put the car into drive and reversed out of the garage and unto the road.

♨♨♨

Mara kept smiling to herself as she remembered what happened in the house. They had been married for 3 years yet it felt like they just got married. The love was getting stronger day by day, something she did not expect would happen at all.

Mara was born into a poor family and marrying Toby who was born with a silver spoon was something she wouldn't have believed possible 5 years before.

But it happened and she never regretted it for once. She was pulled out of her happy thoughts when a driver collided into her car from the back. It was a small hit but it jerked the car forward a bit.

She bit down on her tongue to prevent from cursing at the driver who looked drunk and kept switching lanes.

Her ringtone pulled her eyes away from the man and she smiled again as she saw the name of the caller.

She picked her phone up and spoke to the person in a pretend angry voice.

"What do you want?."

"You." The person answered making her blush beet red.

"Why are you calling?."

"To inform you that I'm really angry with you, baby-bugga-boo."

"Really? Wow! I'm so scared right now." Sarcasm dripping her tone.

Toby chuckled.

"I won't be so sassy if I were you. You're yet to know how I'll punish you and you're acting like this."

"Uhm I wonder how you wish to punish me." She said while her heart almost jumped into her throat as the drunk driver that hit the back of her car got too close to the side of the car. She tried switching lanes but another car was close behind on the other lane leaving her with no choice but to remain where she was.

"Ever heard doggy style?." Toby's voice distracted her from the road again.

"What's that?." She asked wondering what her husband was up to this time.

"It's a sex style, hon." He replied smugly.

"What!." Mara screamed and looked up to see the drunk driver's car had sped before her and was crossing her lane. In an attempt to avoid hitting the man's car and killing the man, she turned the car to the right, dropping the phone in the process. she entered the other lane and looked back, seeing the other cars were still far back she sighed relieved and bent to pick her dropped phone when she heard a very loud horn directly in front of her. She looked up to a large and heavy truck hitting her car with a loud smash.

Everywhere was silent for a second before car horns started blaring and people started screaming and rushing to the accident scene.

And he heard it all.

;-)

Likey?

♨♨♨

One of the moltuariats, probably the head places a cover over the heartless corpse and wheeled it away just as four doctors and two nurses walked into the room all dressed in green overalls for the operation about to be conducted and this time they move to the opposite of where the heartless corpse once laid.

They all stare down at the other girl, who even in her drug induced sleep looks exactly what she is...a reckless person who has no regard for anything as long as it didn't give her cigar or alcohol, now she is paying the price...or maybe she didn't and it was paid by someone else.

She looked wild with massive curls of platinum blonde hair which would have reached her waist if she was standing and a flower tattoo on her neck and on her chest few inches before her small firm breasts.

She has earrings attached to her nose and navel which a nurse moves to remove but was stopped by the head doctor.

"Do not remove anything from her. Let her leave here the way she came, I don't want any trouble from her when she wakes and sees that her body piercings are gone. I've had enough with her lousy friends already."

The nurses threw dirty looks at the blonde lying down. They all feel disgusted that someone like her had to be lucky to get a heart donor without having to stress. They all felt she didn't deserve it. She deserves to die, was what they thought.

"It's time." The doctor announced and pulled on his gloves and nose mask and the rest followed suit. Starting the operation, what they had in mind was that they were trying to safe a soul and keep a heart beating. But does the soul about to be redeemed still belong to its real owner?

♨♨♨ Have tea! ;-)

Toby was woken from his dream when his little sister, Sadie hit him hard on his thighs. In the dream he saw Mara, she smiled the same smile that always made his heart almost burst out of his chest and drop into her hands but this time it made his heart ache.

"Mara, come back let's go home." He saw himself saying in his dream even though he knew deep down that there was no way that was happening. Yet he hoped.

"I can't." She had replied making his heart ache a lot more. It felt like an unseen hand had reached into his chest and was squeezing his heart so painfully he almost felt dizzy from the pain.

"Please Mara." He found himself begging. "Please come back to me Mara. I can't live without you."

"That's where you're wrong Toby, you can live very well without me, you are doing that now."

"I'm alive?." He asked in his dream. "Well I won't be for long without you."

She shook her head. "I'll always be with you Toby."

"No!." He screamed.

"I don't want you to be with me in the spirit, Mara. I want to see you. I want to wake up to your face early in the morning and I want your face to be the last I see before I sleep."

"I won't be with you in the spirit Toby. I'll always be beside you. You will always see me." She deadpanned.

"H-how." He asked even though he had been the one asking her to come back to him. He knew that she couldn't come back, at least she shouldn't be able to except a miracle happens but something inside him just couldn't stop begging her to come back.

He was pulled out of the dream world when he felt something hit him on his thighs. He sat up straight looking around the room frantically but relaxed when he spotted a familiar face, his sister's.

He gave her a questioning look, his mind still blank. "You were thrashing around so I had to hit you." She said with a shrug and then seeming to remember what happened, she sobered up.

"I'm sorry for what hap-". She started but what cut off by Asher, Toby's best friend who smacked her arm hand.

"Ow. What was that for?." She asked scowling.

"You weren't supposed to break the news to him like that." He murmured not meaning for Toby to hear but he heard anyways.

"I thought he knew already." Sadie snapped.

"He does, but you weren't supposed to remind him." He snapped back his tone rising.

Sadie and Asher always had it for themselves, they always say they hate each other but everyone who knows them knows it is a big lie. Every time they bicker they always end up staring at each other's lip, which means something if you ask me.

They both forgot their fight when Toby suddenly stood up and ran out of the room, they ran after him telling him to wait, he didn't listen and kept running until he collided with a stretcher carrying a stiff body, he was about to take off again when he spotted the familiar face laying on the stretcher.

His heart went into his throat as he saw the once tanned beauty who was now pale and cold and stiff and....lifeless.

He watched as the moltuariats continued to drag her body down the hallway with empty eyes. Asher and Sadie were saying something to him but he wasn't listening, he was in a world of his own as he backed into the wall as if to run away from his feelings which was numb at that moment.

He seemed to come to his senses or maybe lost his senses when he raced after the moltuariats carrying his wife away with Asher and Sadie hot in his trail. He started dragging the stretcher towards himself, hitting everyone that came his way, shouting her name this time with the fear of being lonely. It seemed it had dawned on him how bare his life would be without her inside, he wouldn't be able to love again.

Two hefty security men came and tried to drag him away but they didn't succeed and had to use the help of two other cleaners who had their own shares of muscle. With their combined effort they carried or dragged him away from the corpse. Away from his love, his life.

Right then, as they dragged him away he knew a realisation hit him and it made him shudder. He wasn't ever going to love again. He would become a heartless man. And he knew it.

His baby-bugga-boo was gone, forever.

♨♨♨

The doctor reached for a white cloth placed in a tray which a nurse held, she cleaned her blood stained hands on it and sighed.

She looked down to the girl who looked lifeless at the moment but was sure going to be up and living her reckless life again.

She had a flash back to the heart donor and a feeling of sadness washed over her but she didn't let it show. As a doctor she should always be strong even in the most sorrowful situation like that one.

She then looked back at the bimbo lying on the bed and asked the question she had been asking herself throughout the operation activity..."is she worth it?."

Before she finally announced what everyone in the room was waiting for.

"We did it."

♨♨ enjoy ;-)

BTW I didn't know what people who carry corpse from an hospital are called and google isn't really reliable sometimes:'( so I asked around and someone told me moltuariats/ undertakers, but I think undertakers are those who carry the corpse to the burial ground so I decided to use moltuariats.

So moltuariats in the book means people that carry corpse from the hospital in case you didn't get that......so yeah.... Mara was carried away by them:-(
