I was so exhausted at work and then I decided to go out and buy some coffee in Starbucks so I drove my car but suddenly a lady wearing white long sleeve and black pencil skirt ran across the road and I almost bumped into her.
"what the f*ck do you think you're doing Miss? If you're planning to kill yourself by being hit with a car then find somebody else to do it!"I said while going to her. I don't know what more can this exhausting day would offer me I mean I thought the problem in the company is an enough bullsh*t but look at what I'm into now. "hey miss if you're trying to kill yourself now then find another car bullsh*t" I couldn't help but to say it out of frustration but she still didn't respond or say anything. She stood up while picking a piece of paper and the moment I saw her she looks familiar... I think I already saw her before. I noticed that she is not wearing any shoes, maybe this woman is not in her sanity. I was about to ask her again but then I didn't expected the next that happened. She collapsed and the next thing I did was I caught her immediately with my arms.
I woke up in a very unfamiliar place and all the things around me are colored with white, wait... Am I dead now? what happened to me? I was trying to recover the memory that I had earlier just to make sure that happened. Last time I checked I went to the city to find a job but then I got rejected for the fifth time and I got so hungry while I continued walking until I sat on a bench near the road and I was massaging my feet when a strong wind blown my credentials. Aha I remember it now but why am I here? I looked around and realized that I'm in a hospital. wait ... a hospital? why am I here? Mama might be worried to me now. I got so confused and scared at the same time. The door suddenly swung open and a woman around 50s get in. “good to see that you're awake now."the doctor said and I smiled and thanked her. “doc,why am I here?" I asked her confusedly. " you're here because Mr. Leicester brought you and he said that you collapsed." she said calmly at me while checking the IV that is connected to me. “Dont worry ,you'll be fine soon you just have to rest and eat well. Your blood pressure is low and you have to eat healthy foods and avoid stress as much as possible too." she added. I am so confused of what happened and wait ...who is Mr. Leicester? I wish I could thank him for bringing me here. I hope I can thank him for his kindness now. I slowly realized that I was almost hit by a car and then that exact moment I passed out. For sure Mama and my siblings will be worried about me now. “Doc can I go out now? I mean I feel better already. I'm pretty sure that my mom is worried with me now and she doesn't know what happened to me too" I asked her. “yeah let's just wait until that IV finished already since it only has a little amount of liquid by the way, don't worry about your bills because Mr. Leicester paid it already. I'm going for my rounds now and I'll be back in an hour." the doctor said and went out. Whoever Mr. Leicester is I really need to thank him for his kindness. I hope I can still meet him next time so that I could extend my gratitude. I looked around the room and saw a table on the corner near me and it has fast-food take outs in it and I suddenly feel hungry. I was hesitant to get it because maybe it wasn't for me in the first place, I mean who would've give it when even my family doesn't know that I'm in a hospital. I stood up slowly out of my bed and hold my IV pole. I noticed that there is a blue sticky note pasted in the paper bag of that fast food take out and I got so curious. I scanned the table and there are a lot of food in there which really made me so hungry. On the right side of the table there is also a basket of fruits and a Vitamin C juice drink. I read the note and it said “Im sure the moment you wake up, I'm not here already anyway make sure to look around before you try to cross the road or else you'll kill yourself at a very young age. Btw, your stuffs are here including that resumé, I put it inside the folder and your bag and heels as well. Eat the foods that I ordered you, the doctor said you're lacking of nutrients and you passed out because of hunger and stress. -M. K
I was left dumbfounded while reading the letter written on the sticky note. I don't know how to thank this man for saving me and I'm thankful that he brought me here to the hospital. I kinda feel shy also that some random person has to find me in this certain condition but I don't have any other choice, it already happened. Whoever Mr. Leicester is, I'm really thankful to him. He must be a very kind person. I stopped thinking about it and sat on the chair. I'm so hungry and I started eating everything that he bought me. Honestly, eating a food from a fastfood restaurant is been a long time for me because the last time I had it was when I graduated at Elementary. The thing is we don't have enough money to buy it and we're already satisfied by the homemade dishes that Mama cooks because she's also very good at it. Speaking of my Mama, I decided not to eat everything because I want to bring it to them when I go home for sure they are worried about me already. I don't really like it when I make Mama worried because I know her situation. I decided not to tell her what happened to me today also so that she will not stress about it too. She should be focused on being strong and giving her stress won't help her.
