chapter one: waking up from coma
opening her eyes, the first thing mia saw was white walls and so many machines connected to her
...
whats happening, where am I? she ask herself looking around her environment..
right at this moment, she heard a sound and the door to the room was pushed open from the outside and a lady in white gown walked over to her, seeing her awake she smiled happily and rushed out again leaving mia confused
doctor! doctor! the patient is awake she heard the nurse calling out to someone
who is that? she asked herself, why can't I remember anything? trying to get off the bed mia realised she couldn't move her body.. what is happening to me why can't I move my body mia looked at the doctor and nursing wait for an answer in a panicking state
walking over, the doctor tried to calm her down, hello, I can't move!, I can't move mia said in a crooked voice barely audible,picking up the glass of water on the table the doctor brought it close to her mouth and fed her and said, calm down, it happens when a patient has stayed in coma for a long time,
with time you will be able to move your body.....
I have to ask you some questions though the doctor said while looking at gibberish on the machine connected to me OK i replied mia said in a small voice
what's your name? he asked,
I don't know! I don't know mia started freaking out again, okay calm down it's OK not to remember with time you will but that did not calm her instead it scared her. turning to the nurse, the doctor nodded ....
the last thing mia remembered was something poking her skin before she passed out
we need to call her family the doctor said to the nurse beside him, okay sir, I will do that right she said before walking out trailing behind the doctor
so much much noise, mia woke up frowning, upon opening her eyes she saw a couple of people in her room. a couple of about 40years old and a girl of 20 or there about talking
now she could move her head so she turned to them, hello! mia interrupted their discussion hearing her voice they all stood up and rush to her except for the girl who was busy with her phone
baby the woman started crying irritating mia because of how loud her voice was, mummy is very sorry that I wasn't there for you when it happened while she kept on patting my head as if i am a baby, as for the girl, she stood a distance away watching with her face twisted with jealousy
are you my parents? mia asked doubtfully.....
there's this nagging feeling that this people are not really family because if they were my family i will feel the connection even if its a little and my so-called sister would have been excited that I am awake or running around me trying to tell me what I've missed out all this while but she's standing there like a statue
I will just play along until I know who I am and where I came from.....
mom, how long have I been asleep? wu..... my baby girl mommy miss you so much...oh God!, is there a dam in her eyes why does she like crying? mia wrinkled her brows frowning
mia don't mind your mom OK she has been very sad since the accident five years ago, and
wait! wait! wait!? mia interrupted her father before he could finish
how long did you say I've been in coma?
Mia's father Mr Liam paused for a few second before answering her impatiently
5 years..
one thing he hates the must is been interrupted. if not that he had no choice but to answer he could not have answered
l just have to put up with her until I get what I want Mr Liam said to himself
trying to calm His anger before he exploded and he also saw his wife giving him the signal to the calm
mom...when are we living the this place the girl who has been standing for almost 5 minutes finally opened her mouth to ask when they were living
Rachel come say Hi to your elder sister mrs Liam called out to her daughter
mom we've been here for almost an hour and I'm tired Rachel said ignoring what her mother said
mia don't take what your sister is doing to her OK, she has been upset for a while because she couldn't go out shopping with her friend because we had to visit after we heard that you were awake
ohh! I understand
she can go is not like I'm holding her back from going. Mia said, and I am tired
the doctor said I should rest to recover faster
oh yes, Mia's father said while tapping her head, we will be leaving now and please rest early
and I will bring your favorite food tomorrow added Mia's mom before they walked out
finally, I was tired of all the crying and talking mia said before closing her eyes in exhaustion
