Chapter 81: my major backbone found me
We arrived at the hospital and the young man carried me in his arms, calling in the nurses for help.
The nurses responded and brought a stretcher. He gently placed me on the stretcher and followed the nurses but he was stopped from entering into the ward by one of the nurses.
One of the nurses left and returned with the doctor and he pleaded with the doctor. The doctor assured him he would treat me.
The doctor shut the door and commenced treatment on me, while the young man couldn't sit still but kept pacing, hoping and praying I wake up.
The moment He realised his shirt was stained with my blood, he broke down in tears and sat on the chair. How head bent as he said silent prayers.
The doctor stepped out of the ward and the young man quickly rose on his feet and moved quickly to the doctor
"You are out already? How is she? How is the treatment? He asked, grabbing the doctor's hand.
"She's out of danger and will wake up soon"
"Really? He exhaled and stepped back. "Thank God. I was so worried that I lost her. May I see her?
"Yes you may. Go ahead in"
"Thank you so much doctor "
He hurried into the ward and immediately held my hand and kissed it.
"Oh thank God you are alive. I thought I already lost you. I lost you once and I won't lose you again, Monalisa"
A few hours later,
I opened my eyes and was left confused. I scanned the room and I was left surprised when I saw some guy holding my hand, asleep, with his head on my bed.
I struggled to get up but felt a sharp pain in my head.
"Ouch!
He sat up immediately.
"Are you okay Monalisa?
"Monalisa? Do you know me?
"Oh yes I do. Very much. I know you do not remember me because it's been years. Eight years I guess. "
"Eight years?
"Yes. From your past. I'm your saviour. Your best friend. Remember?
"Donald!
"Yes, that's me, Donald "
"What! How Did you find me? What am I doing here? No what are you doing in L.A?
"One question at a time"
"I want to sit help. Please me help me"
"One minute"
Donald got up and pressed the button on the bed and the bed slowly went up and I was in sitting position. He helped me adjust and placed more pillows at my back making me comfortable.
"So, what's going on here? Why am I here?
"Uhmm... actually, I had hit you with my car"
"You hit me? How's that possible?
"It's possible when some crazy woman who wouldn't hear car horns and walking in the middle of the road. Yes, you got hit"
"Goodness. I'm so careless. That must have scared you "
"Yes. I was scared that I had killed someone but, the highest of fear gripped me when I saw you on the floor instead, your head bleeding "
"I'm sorry "
"No, I'm sorry. I should have been more careful."
"Me too"
"Look at you. You look so beautiful, so mature and lady like. Your voice and the way you speak...wow! So elegant and classy "
"Well thank you"
I smiled.
Donald is my childhood friend and my very best friend. He was the one who actually crashed my wedding day with his biked and took me away. Actually, rescued me. We lost contact.
"Look at you Donald. You look so good and handsome and it seems like you are really wealthy "
Donald chuckled"I think I am, if you say I am. Where have you been all these years? You got up and disappeared. Not even a goodbye "
"I'm really sorry "
"I saved you and you didn't thank me properly. You left"
"I had to leave "
"Why?
"Maybe some other time, we'll discuss about it. Right now, I'm really hungry and my roommate must be terrified that I'm not home yet. I had left home without informing her where I was heading to"
"Roommate? Okay. You said you are hungry? I'll order some food for you, for us. I'm hungry toom just give me a sec"
"Sure"
What in the world is Donald doing here? How did he find me? What is fate doing right now to me?
I felt sad. I lost everything. My Marriage, my job and here I am, ar the hospital, hurt because I was involved in an accident, thanks to destiny.
Donald joined me at the bed and sat closer to me. He held my hand and kissed it.
"So tell me, what have you been up to all these while? Being good or being naughty?
"I'm not naughty?
"Uh...I can't say for sure but you're such a hard nut and a bubble head"
"Oh please Donald, don't say that"
"I'm right. You sure do know how to cause trouble. At least you did cause a lot of trouble for your family and for Godfrey and his family"
"Stop it Donald. Enough with the teasing"
"Uh! Godfrey, he's such a bastard. You should have seen his face when you fled the wedding venue. He was so embarrassed and was furious. I actually thought he would sought after your downfall by planning a dreadful revenge"
"Yeah...he did"
"He did?
"Yes. Look, we'll talk about it later "
"No. Let's talk about it now. Tell me, why did you leave? Why did you abandon me? You never said goodbye, not a proper thank you and you left without a trace, why?
"That's because...I had overheard your argument with your parents. They didn't want me there. They were afraid of what Godfrey and his family would do to them if they eventually find out I was hiding there and that their lovely son was the biker that crashed his wedding. So I decided to save you all the stress and leave"
"That was so mean of you. Do you know how devastated I was? I looked for you everywhere. I searched the entire neighborhood, looking for Monalisa and you were nowhere to be found. I felt so disappointed in myself. I failed to protect my mum. I failed to keep my promise to your mum"
"My mum? That woman...I hate her so much. Thanks to her, I'm in so much mess"
"What happened?
"I don't want to talk about it "
"I'm your best friend. You do not have to hide anything from you "
"I promise I won't. Once I'm out of here and back on my feet... I'll tell you the whole story of my life and how miserable I am right now"
"Sure. One minute. Hello, oh yes. I'll be down soon. Monalisa, I'll go pick our food. I'll be back soon "
"Yes, go ahead "
Donald placed a kiss on my forehead before stepping out to get our food.
I leaned back and exhaled softly.
I'm really glad that Donald found me. He's back in my life, my major backbone.
Donald returned back with our food and set up the table.
He helped me out of the bed by carrying me in his arms. He gently let me down on the couch and we both are.
He would touch my hand and smile brightly at me.
"I missed you so much Monalisa"
He smiled at me.
"I missed you too Donald " I smiled back.
