Chapter 62: I Wish! If I Could Change The Past...
After sometime Jiang family bid their farewell and left Ming Mansion. Ming Rusheng and Ming Lan were in the living room alone and both were sitting on the sofa.
Ming Lan : "Seams like someone stole my brother's heart." She looked at him with a teasing smile. She noticed the way he was looking at Jiang YuYan.
Ming Rusheng : "What are you talking about?" He didn't looked at her and continued to go through his mobile.
Ming Lan : "Nothing just..." She didn't talk much as she was quite scared of her brother to make him angry.
In the car, Jiang Yang looked at his sister who was calm and staring outside of the car's window. He smiled and said, "Looks like, my beautiful sister got one more handsome admirer."
Jiang YuYan : "I don't know what are you talking about?" She felt tired to think about anything.
Jiang Yang : "It's good! Anyways, I am happy with that only one special person as your admirer." He said but She didn't pay any attention to him.
Jiang Yang really liked Lu Qiang but his stubborn sister was not that easy to make her think about him. But somewhere he knew that she was greatly affected by his presence which never ever happened before even if she was surrounded by the most handsome men.
In the evening, Jiang Ruolan and Jiang Peizhi packed their bags and were ready to leave as they had a flight to New York. Airport was quite far from their residence so they had to leave early. Jiang siblings insisted to see them off at the airport but their parents denied their request as it will be very late for their children to get back to home from the airport. Also next day which was a Monday, was going to be the first day of Jiang Yang's joining at the hospital. Both said good-bye to their children and left for the airport.
Jiang YuYan : "I am going to miss them." She said and sat on the sofa while leaning back lazily.
Jiang Yang : "Me too" He said and sat beside her lazily.
Jiang YuYan : "Tomorrow is your first day at the hospital and you will be busy but I have to stay at home." She said and gave out a deep sigh.
Jiang Yang : "If you want, I can make you shift to Lu Mansion right now." He said with teasing smile.
Jiang YuYan : "No need! I am fine being alone. I'll try my hands on paints." But she said it seriously.
Jiang Yang : "That's good."
From next day Jiang Yang started his job and Jiang YuYan spent her time alone at home. Jiang Yang was worried about her as she had to stay alone at home so he called her whenever he got free time. On the first day of his work, he kept calling her again and again which irritated her. She was busy with her painting. She wanted to concentrate on it but her brother was giving her more attention than his patients. It was like his body was in the hospital but his mind was at home. She finally switched off her cellphone.
When Jiang Yang came back from the hospital at seven o'clock, Jiang YuYan was in her room. He went to her room but she was not there so he moved to the door of her art room which was few meters away from the her bed. When he entered, he saw she was busy with her piece of art. He couldn't see what she was drawing as the painting was facing in the opposite direction to where he was standing near the room's door.
He looked at her. She looked like in a deep thought as she didn't realised that her brother was standing inside the room. She was sitting at the wooden stool like chair. She was holding a colour tray in her left hand and was busy in painting with the colour brush in her right hand. He just Coughed to get her attention. She looked at him in surprise. Jiang Yang walked in her direction and stood few steps away.
She looked at him and asked, "When did you come?" And put the colour brush in her hand in the brush holder on the table next to her.
"Just now when you were immersed in your own world." He said and walked in the direction of the painting to see what his sister drew.
"Stop! Stop! It's not complete yet. You can't see it." She said while holding the painting board's corner with one hand, pretending like to hide it.
"Still let me take a look." He said while taking one step forward.
"No! But don't worry I'll complete it soon. It's not done yet because of the continuous disturbances caused by your calls." She said it and put the colour tray in her hand on the side table too. She got up from the chair and walked towards him.
He didn't insisted much. He looked at her from head to toe. She had colour on her clothes, hands and her face too had few tiny patches of colour. He smiled and said, "Were you painting a canvas or yourself?" He said while scanning her top to bottom.
She then looked at her dress and her hands. She was wearing a white top and a peach colour skirt which were highlighting all the colours she used for the painting. She had a bad habit to wipe her hands to her clothes unknowingly whenever she used to be completely immersed in her work.
He looked at her and said, "You and your clothes got painted too. Go and get fresh first."
"Ohk brother!" She said it and stepped towards the door. She looked back at him from the door and said, "I'll be back in 10 mins." And left in the direction of the bathroom.
She left but Jiang Yang stood in that room. He just walked to leave the room but stopped and turned back towards the painting. When he saw that incomplete painting his expressions changed. His face looked worried. He touched the image in that painting with his fingers and looked very sad. His eyes looked moist too. He just said, "I wish, if I could change the past. It's all my fault for not being able to be with you."
He then came out of her room and entered into his own room. He took out his cellphone and dialled a number.
Jiang Yang : "Hey! Do you have any plans for dinner tonight?" He asked the person on the other side of the line.
Person : No!
Jiang Yang : "Let's meet for a dinner tonight."
Person : "sure!"
Jiang Yang : "Decide the place and just message me the address."
Person : "Huuu!"
Jiang Yang : "See you then. Bye." He cut the call and went to the bathroom to get fresh.
After sometime Jiang Yang came downstairs to the living room, turned on the television and sat on the sofa. Jiang YuYan too came downstairs.
Jiang YuYan : "How was your first day at the hospital." She asked while sitting on the sofa.
Jiang Yang : "It was good. How was your day at home?" He asked while going through the different channels on the television.
Jiang YuYan : "It was overall good except for your annoying calls." She replied
Jiang Yang : "Huu! We are going out for a dinner."
Jiang YuYan : "Ok! No problem and also the cook is on leave today."
