Chapter 05: At the hospital…

Scene: Elle sitting beside the bed and watching Gulchin lying there.

It was the 10th of January 2021, Elle had gone to the hospital to visit Gulchin, where she met her sister Sarah. The doctor calls Sarah and she tells Elle to sit beside the bed. Elle was quite upset after seeing Gulchin in this state, she was crying and watching Gulchin. Suddenly, she noticed Gulchin was moving her fingers then she opened her eyes slowly but she was trying to say someone's name. Elle immediately called the doctor and Sarah. Elle looked at Gulchin and she saw tears falling from her eyes. Gulchin was trying to say Nehs… and Elle was trying to understand but Sarah and the doctor came there so she moved aside. While the doctor was checking her condition Elle told Sarah about this whole incident. Sarah was quite silent after listening to Elle. Then she called her parents. After arriving their parent's doctor told them about her condition and that wasn't in very good condition, she was in a coma for about 3 months. She needs to rest and care. She will be discharged after the doctor does some examines. Then the doctor tells the nurse to shift her to the cabin. After shifting into the cabin, Elle asks Gulchin what she was trying to say but she was silent. Suddenly, she tries to get up from her bed. Elle calls the doctor. They tried to calm her down but she wasn't in the condition of listening to anyone. So, the doctor gives her an injection. After 7 hours Gulchin wakes up then Sarah asks her how she met the accident that day. Gulchin asks Sarah, "Which accident and why am I here? What has happened to me?" Sarah replies," On that Sunday 3 months ago you met with an accident via hitting a car. It was raining then". Gulchin says she doesn't remember anything and asks "where is Nehshal?" Sarah replies'' Who is Nehshal?" Gulchin asked Sarah to give her her phone and log in to her Instagram account. She searches the conversation with Nehshal but there were no messages or any account of him. Later Elle comes there the next day to visit Gulchin. Gulchin asks her, "Do you remember the boy named Nehshal?" Elle replies, "What are you talking about, who is Nehshal?" Gulchin says," I told you about him 2 days ago". Elle then says," what are you saying, you've been admitted to the hospital for about 3 months, it's been 3 months since you were in a coma". Police have checked the CCTV footage 3 months ago on Sunday you were crossing the road in the rain and got hit by a car. Since then you are here". Tears fall from her eyes and she says," I was in a coma for 3 months and I met with an accident?" She became confused. After checking the process, the Doctor says she was in a coma and during this whole time she was dreaming because it's been a long time since she is suffering from depression, anxiety and insomnia. The accident had caused her brain damage. Because of loneliness, she had come this far to serious damage too.
