Chapter 3

Holding my head tight with my Left hand I made an attempt to sit Up as I rested my back on something soft. I tried to Open eyes but I shut it immediately because of the bright light illuminating the room,  I  closed my eyes as I tried to calm myself.

I took slow and steady  breaths listening carefully to my surroundings.  I heard distance voice's as they were talking i couldn't really make who they were but from the authority in There voices I could tell they where important to where ever it is I am.

Listening in  again I Heard a piercing cry  of a baby and I flushed at how beautiful the baby looks even with fresh blood all over Her.

"Congratulations" I heard the doctor say as he announced her gender I smiled again remembering how I had Witnessed the birth on my nephew.

The next thing I hear was the beeping of a monitor and rush of doctors and nurses towards the sound. It was Then I opened my eye to the realization that i was in a hospital. I gasp for air that I didn't know i was holding. Looking around my surroundings I noticed I was on drip and a bandage was round my head. there was a tray of food on the coffee table besides and I suddenly felt hungry. I picked up the food with out second thought as I begin to eat.

I was almost done with my meal when I ear on its own accord picked up a familiar voice I listen in carefully as I heard there convocation.

"I'm so sorry for your loss my dear"

I was confused I wasn't dead, who could they be talking about. I finished the last or my meal gulping down my water and put the emptying plates away.  Listening in again I heard a cracked sob. It was from a little girl this time and I'm sure she just turned 17 from the way she sounded.  the next voice I heard was a deep throaty on

" c'mon temilola she is gone And we need to Move on."

I was hurt to say the Least you just loss your wife and this is how you show your remorse ...pity I thought and the woman who was pacifying the little girl voiced out my thoughts and it was The I recognize her voice.

Mum...

2 seconds later She walked in with the doctor and after she way i was up  she rushed to me hugging me tight before scanning me to see if I was Ok. The doctor interrupted our little reunion as he began to as me questions.

"How are you feel"

"Fine I guess. tho my head hurts a little"

"Whats your name"

"Amelia Orra Kumar "

I heard my mom heaved a sign of relieve and I look lost asking Her what happened. But the doctor answered me instead but with another question.

"What's the late think you remember?"

"Umm I was At the airport with with my dad suddenly I couldn't really concentrate much so I black out."

"How old are You?"

"18 years old"

"And what year are we in?"

"2018. Why Are you asking me this question? Am I sick or something"

"Well on the contrary. You Are perfectly in shape Nothing to worry about. You are only here because you fainted at the airport. But don't worry come this time tomorrow you'd. Be free too go."

I checked the Time on the coffee table beside me as it read 3:30pm

I stared back at Them and the doctor decided to Give my mom some alone time with me right away He took the tray of empty plate with him. Immediately he closed the door I turned to ask my Mom the one question I have been dying to know the answer.

" How long was I out?"

I noticed her fidgeting With her hands and I had to give her starring gaze so she doesn't avoid my question after a will of contemplation  she finally spoke up

"3 weeks"

"What!!!!"
