The End is Near: Ch 2

Howdy,

So, since today is my birthday...I thought 'hey, why not a treat to all my awesome readers?' so...instead of updating one of my old fanfics, which I'm still working out the kinks of...I thought I should post the second chapter to my newest fanfic. I hope you enjoy it!

===================

Ch 2

Her day had finally ended. She never really fancied Mondays, because she had to do extra clinic hours on top of her own rounds, but, it’s not like she had a choice. But today was awfully long, she had to perform an aortic valve bypass in the morning, by mid-day one of her previous patients had come in with a minor heart attack, and by the time evening had come around she was swamped with the work from the clinic. Usually she would have a drink or two by herself before going home, but she was far too tired to do so.

She left the hospital, got into her car and drove home. By the time she got home it was already around 7pm, which was just in time for dinner.

Linda: Mom, dad, I’m home

Mom: And just in time too...I made a steamed grouper today, your favourite

Linda: Thanks mom

Mom: You look terrible, go wash up first

Linda: Ok

She walked towards her room and noticed her dad coming out of the bathroom

Dad: Tough day?

Linda: Sort of...

Dad: Well...I did warn you

Linda: Just because it’s tough doesn’t mean I’m going to quite dad

Dad: Fine...suffer...you look awful by the way

She tried her best to squeeze a smile: Thanks dad, really appreciate your support

She walked straight into her room to wash up

~ Living room~

Dad: Look at that attitude, no wonder she’s still single, what man in his right mind would want to marry her

Mom: Come on Damian, don’t be so hard on her...she’s young and ambitious...give her some time

Damian: I could give her some time, but you should know that time is a women’s enemy Michelle...

Michelle: Don’t worry...she’ll be fine. She’ll find a wonderful husband soon and next thing you know you’ll miss having her around

Damian: I barely see her to begin with, and every time we talk I feel as though we’re at war...why can’t she be like Queenie? Get a good education, become a nurse, get married to a doctor. But no, this one, this one just decides that she’s too good to be a nurse, so she goes to med school instead

Michelle laughed: Don’t worry honey...shh...she’s coming out

Linda: Are we waiting for sister and brother-in-law

Michelle: They said they won’t be home so early, something about a concert

~After dinner~

Queenie: Mom, dad, we’re home

Wayne: And we bought cake

Michelle: Great, let me get some plates

Linda: You look great today sis, how was the concert?

Queenie: Amazing...you should really go some time, you’d love it...you always had a liking for classical music

Linda: Maybe, depends on how my schedule looks like

Wayne: Oh, speaking of your schedule...are you free next month, I think it’s the 27th of next month...

Linda: What is?

Wayne: It’s a little charity event, in celebration of the success of our public service project for better flu prevention, the keynote speaker is a friend of mine from the states, he was looking for a date so...

Linda: You’re trying to set me up?

Queenie: It was really my idea, and besides you’ll fit in fine with the people there...nurses, doctors, researchers...

Linda: I don’t know...we’ll have to wait and see...

Wayne: Come on, it’ll be fun...and informative

Queenie: Come on...we’ll be there too just in case you don’t like talking to Wayne’s friend...free food and drinks...and...we’ll be in charge of your transportation. Ok?

Linda smiled: Fine...I’ll go

Wayne: Great, then I’ll let him know that he has a date for the event...

Damian: Who would’ve thought the brother-in-law would have to act as a matchmaker in this day and age

Queenie: Daddy...

Damian: What? Did I say something wrong?

Linda: Dad’s right...who knew that guys in this day and age could be intimidated by women with looks and brains

Damian: Oh, did you hear that honey, we somehow raised and egotist, so proud, so very proud

Linda: Sis, can you write down today’s date and the time

Queenie: Why?

Linda: Well, it’s the first compliment of the day I got from dad

Queenie laughed

Michelle: Knock it off and have some cake

Linda: Thanks mom, but I think I’ll eat it in my room...I still have a case history to go over

Damian: Of course, because blood and open heart surgeries make the cake taste so much better

Linda looked at her dad: You really do understand me, dad

~ Later that night, in Michelle and Damian’s bedroom~

Michelle putting on her face mask: Why are you so hard on our little girl?

Damian: I’m not hard on her, and she’s not little

Michelle: Does it ever cross your mind that she’s just following in your footsteps?

Damian: I never asked her to, I just want her to live a good life and be happy

Michelle smiled: Maybe following in your footsteps makes her happy?

Damian: How can it make her happy? Following in my footstep, climbing up the hierarchy of the hospital won’t get her anything in the end. If she was a man, the nurses at the hospital would be all over her, in admiration of her ambition and dedication...but as a woman...

Michelle: You’re afraid she’ll scare away all of her future pursuers?

Damian: She already chased away Kenneth, and he was a good doctor...

Michelle: But he wasn’t a good boyfriend...you know that...you heard her cry...

Damian: I know, I know...it’s just that I really hoped that I would get to drink that tea...and now...she’s nearing 30...

Michelle: Don’t worry honey, our daughter might be picky, but she’ll find the one who’ll make her happy...like how we found each other...

Damian: Hopefully...



===========================

Tadaaaa!!!! Another character is introduced...I'm really looking forward to updating this fanfic...it's actually quite fun. Anywho...I hope you're not disappointed or another with the introduction of this character cause...I found her to suit the role well. To be honest, I dislike weak and timid characters that TVB always have...so...most of my characters, especially female characters are rather strong in their character.

Anywho, enough of me rambling...please leave me a comment or two on this fanfic, or birthday wishes lol, and...I'll be back soon...(promise)

NEW FANFIC!!! The End is Near

Howdy folks,

On the last update, I announced that there will be a new fanfic. I originally wanted to post the fanfic back in January so that I could have one chapter posted every month until December...however, I was overwhelmed with school work (since I'm in my fourth year of university) and the plan fell through. This fanfic, even though the end sounds somewhat depressing, is actually a comedy. I hope you enjoy the first Chapter

Chapter 1: ‘I’m going to die with no grandchildren’

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled...and continued to slowly inhale, then exhale. In his focused state of mind, he could hear everything that went on in the room...but, he did not want to pay any attention to it. He finally opened his eyes and turned to face her, and smiled at her anxious face.

Woman: So...what did you see?

Man: I saw...

Woman: What?

Man: Nothing...absolutely NOTHING!!! Mom, how many times do I need to remind you that I’m not a psychic...?

Mom: But last time when my friends were over you knew exactly what they were going to say

Man: Mom...it was obvious that you were setting something up...having all your friends over and having them bring along their niece or daughter...

Mom: Fine...

Man: I know you want me to get married soon...but I’m still young and there’s a lot more in life than just getting married and having kids...

Mom: Oh...do you hear that honey, do you hear our son. After you left this world he doesn’t care about his own mother...I don’t have that many more years in life and look at him...he wants me to WAIT for him because he thinks there’s more to life than getting married and having kids...do you HEAR that honey?!?

Man: Mom...you’re overreacting...

Mom: I’m overreacting? Ron Ng, how dare you speak to your own mother like this...and in the presence of your own father too...?

Ron: Ok, ok...I’m sorry...I’ll go on one of the blind dates you’ve planned for me then...ok? (He smiled)

Mom smiling back: That’s my boy (she ruffles his hair)...unless

Ron: Unless?

Mom: It’s been forever since you’ve brought a girlfriend before, and I’ve never seen you watch porn...

Ron: Mom!

Mom: And...you’re always so close with your ‘buddies...’ son, be honest...I’m an open minded person you know...are you gay?

Ron: seriously? You’re asking if I’m gay

Mom: So you are...now it all makes sense...but why?

Ron: Mom...I’m not gay

Mom: Considering you’re in the business where you’re literally surrounded by women all the time, and most of them are beautiful women...it only makes sense that I start questioning your sexuality

Ron: What if I have...you know...one night stands? Obviously I wouldn’t bring anyone of them home...

Mom: Uh huh...one night stands...where? You do realize even though you’re in your thirties...that I DO YOUR LAUNDRY...where are the receipts? And don’t you even start by saying you go to their place...because as your mother I know how you are...you can’t even stand a bit of filth...hotel rooms is already a stretch

Ron: Mom...do you really want me to bring home a girlfriend who’s some sort of movie star?

Mom: I wouldn’t mind...

Ron: Do you NOT watch the films I produce?

Mom: Don’t be silly, I watch all of them...but you can’t say all actresses are vein and just beautiful on the outside...that can’t apply to every single one of them...I think you’re being too judgemental

Ron: Well...it would be hard though, wouldn’t it? I wouldn’t be able to tell whether she’s true to me or she’s actually a great actress...

Mom: Son...you really have to learn to trust. And besides, it would be a win-win situation

Ron: How so?

Mom: Well...think about it...if she really does like you, then you have a girlfriend...if she’s just acting...then, you just found yourself an amazing lead actress for your next movie...I don’t see any down side really

Ron laughed: Mary Hon, you are a genius! But seriously mom...you know what I mean

Mary: Alright...I guess it’s up to me then...who would’ve thought that the responsibility of finding a daughter-in-law would be mine after I produced such a wonderfully handsome child...(she heaved a sigh)

Ron: Well...I’m going to get going, I have a quick staff meeting to attend to

Mary: Just go...just leave this old woman all by herself...

Ron smiled, bent over and kissed his mom on the cheek

Ron: One day, you’ll wish that you could have some alone time...when all your grandchildren are crying and wanting all of your attention

Mary: Oh, don’t you worry...at this rate, I would’ve had too much alone time

Ron laughed: Ok, ok...bye mom...

Mary: Bye

Suddenly he turned back

Mary: What is it?

Ron: It’s not true that I haven’t brought home a girlfriend in forever...I brought Kate home like two years ago

Mary: Please don’t tell me you’re waiting for her to come back...I know she’s a nice girl and everything Ron, but really...maybe she’s already found someone by now...

Ron: I’m not waiting for her...I just thought I’d bring up the point that I have brought home a girlfriend before and quite recently too... (he looked at the time) now I really have to get going, bye

~After he left~

Mary: He thinks two years isn’t a long time...what a silly boy

~Studio ~

Bosco: Hey...you’re not looking too good...

Ron: Try having that ‘I’m going to die with no grandchildren’ talk with YOUR mom

Bosco laughed: It’s your fault...if I were you, I’d bring home some pretty kelefe and tell your mom she’s your girlfriend, then you wouldn’t have to have that talk once every few weeks

Ron: Right...and then I can grace the tabloids too...

Bosco: Maybe get one of those contracted girlfriends...you know, like in the movies

Ron: so, you’re telling me to ‘rent’ a girlfriend

Bosco: It’s possible...

Ron: Uh huh...you know what, just go tell your team to get ready in the conference room

Bosco: Fine, don’t take my advice

Myolie: What’s going on?

Bosco: This one needs a girlfriend

Myolie: That’s old news...so Ron, did your mom just give you another talk?

Ron: Ya, you know how she is

Myolie: Auntie is afraid you’ll end the family line with the rate you’re going

Ron: Great...

Myolie: If you want her to stop, just bring home a girl, and say she’s your girlfriend

Bosco: That’s what I said

Ron: The couple thinks alike...I think I’m going to be sick...

Bosco: You’re just jealous that we’re actually together, and you get tabloid girlfriends...

Myolie: You know, if you told your mom one of those rumours were true...she would’ve stopped with the talk too

Ron: If I confirmed a rumour with my mom, I’m pretty sure by the end of the day the entire world would’ve found out as well...so no

Myolie: Get those...contracted ones...you know, how Thailand have those contracted wives for those perverted old men and movie makers

Ron: That’s just disturbing...

Bosco: Honey, he’s searching for true love...like what we have...

Ron: I think I’m going to throw up...you know what, just tell everyone to meet me in five in the conference room, I’m gonna go and actually throw up now, thanks to you guys

Bosco and Myolie (in unison): Anytime

=====================

I hope you enjoyed it...and please leave me a few comments...I've already decided who the female lead will be and stuff...so...look out for the next chapter, which should be up in the beginning or so of March.

I should get back to my thesis, but before that, next week I will be updating Someone Like You and probably the finale for Take 2 (fingers crossed)

See you then, and remember to comment!!!
