391 More than enough (1/2)

Her heart shattered at the thought of losing her best friend again. At the thought of losing her only sister.

She did not even notice the speed at which she was driving nor the curses and horns from the other drivers. Everything was like a haze in her mind. Nothing else mattered than her own emotion, her sadness and heartbroken.

”Ryn does not like me. Ryn hates me,” words kept repeating over and over again in her mind.

When she saw how emotional and out of control Mika was, Ryn made up her mind and took out her phone. She quickly called Jason, hoping this fiance of her best friend could help to calm Mika down. Oh, please let him succeed. She could not bear the consequence if he failed.

It took five ringings before the call was connected. Ryn blamed it on Jason's forgetfulness for not saving her number again. It must be it.

”Hello?”

”Jason, sorry to interrupt but I need your help,” Ryn said bluntly. She glanced at Mika who was still gripping the steering wheel tight and tears wetting her face. Mika's eyes were red from her emotion.

”Help? Of what?” Jason asked. He leaned back and with one hand, closed the file he was reading. He also lifted his hand to excuse his assistant. The assistant nodded and excused himself, leaving Jason alone in his office.

”Mika... she's not feeling...” Ryn took a deep breath to calm her pounding heart, ”Her emotion is unstable. Please talk with her. She's driving the car too fast now. Too fast.”

”Driving too fast? She's driving?” Jason gaped. Why on earth would his loved one drive when she's not feeling well? Didn't he remind her to use the driver whenever she needed to go anywhere?

”Yes. And she... well... it's... well... anyway, please calm her down,” Ryn asked hurriedly. She was getting scared when the needle for the speed kept heading toward the maximum. ”Jason...”

”Are you on speaker?” Jason canceled his plan to ask more of the detail. Right now, the most important thing to do was to help to calm Mika down. He was finally going to make her his officially and legally and did not want to lose her.

”Baby?” he asked once he gave Ryn enough time to switch the speaker on.

Mika refused to answer.

”Baby, this is me, Jason, your love,” Jason said gently, coaxing like a little baby. ”Baby, please answer me. Do you hear me?”

Still silence from Mika's side. Ryn was getting more nervous and worried. Why wouldn't it work?

”Mika, my love, why won't you answer me? Do you hate me now?” Jason asked, sounding so sad and heartbroken.

”Ja... Jason?” Mika stuttered. His voice finally penetrated into her mind. Her eyes cleared.

”Yes, it's me, baby. Your Jason.”

”Baby?” Mika asked.

”Yes, it's me.”

”Baby,” Mika cried. Her heart pounded fast again as she remembered why she was sad earlier.

”What's wrong, baby? Why are you crying? Don't cry. I don't want you to cry. You know I'm sad too when you're sad,” Jason coaxed gently.

”Baby, Ryn hates me. She hates me now,” Mika cried loudly.

Ryn was speechless hearing the accusation. When did she ever say she hated Mika? Mika shouldn't assume too fast before she understood things. Seriously, this girl was supposed to be a genius but right now Ryn could not see where the genius was.

”How do you know? Do you ask her?” Jason asked carefully. He finally could understand why Mika's emotion was unstable. But he did not dig too much. From what Ryn told him earlier, Mika was driving and it was important to calm Mika down and make her stop the car somewhere safe before he went to pick her up. He would then cuddle her until she felt better.

”No...” Mika answered truthfully. She then glanced at Ryn and sniffed seeing the frown on her best friend's face. See, Ryn did hate her.

”Then, you should ask her. Remember what I told you?”

”What?”

”Don't assume before you understand all the details. Especially when regarding what people think about you.”

”But...”

”Baby, ask first before make your own assumption,” Jason repeated again gently. ”Won't it be better to know the truth than to make yourself sick from thinking negatively?”

Several times Ryn wanted to butt in and speak up but she held herself. Right now, she felt like only Jason could help. She sighed and prayed for this man to succeed in making Mika better.

She learned her lesson already. Never ask or question Mika when she was driving. It was better for her to ask when they were safe in a room or a place, and somewhere they could have their privacy.

”Baby?” Jason called Mika's pet name gently, carefully.
