Atarah Klyte
Slowly, I opened my eyes and the white ceiling immediately welcomed my eyes. I'm obviously in the hospital because of the smell around me.
I looked around for someone in the room but I didn't find anyone.
I moved a little and was wincing and I was 'awkward' at the pain in my body. I looked at both my arms, they were full of wounds and bruises.
I also looked at my bandaged chest. I also felt that my head was bandaged so I touched it slowly to confirm and I was right that it was bandaged. While on the left bed, there was also my dextrose.
Even though it hurt, I still forced myself to sit on the bed. Who brought me here? How is? How is my nephew?
I closed my eyes tightly and remembered what happened. Suddenly my tears started to flow at the same time as the door opened so I quickly wiped my tears.
It spat out a woman in her 50s. His color is brown and his curly hair is a bit faded black. It's a bit chubby. You brought fruits and flowers.
"It's good and you're awake hija. Just a moment and I'll call the doctor," he said with surprise and joy. He put down his things for a moment and hurried out.
Is he the one who brought me here?
Later, the door opened and a doctor came out, followed by a nurse as well as the woman from before.
The doctor checked me and I was silent while watching what they were doing."She's not that fine, Ma'am. She's still recovering especially since her wounds are still fresh but it's good that she's awake. There will be more tests done on her. A nurse will be here later to clean her wounds. Please leave her alone we have you." After the Doctor said that, he went out with this nurse.
"Hija, what do you feel?" A woman approached and held my hand. I looked at him and let him hold my hands.
"I'm fine. Were you the one who brought me here?" I asked modestly and he quickly nodded.
"Yes. My husband and I found you on the road unconscious. Your body was full of blood. So when we brought you here, you were already lacking blood and you were in critical condition for over a day and a half. can also sleep." up close, his eyes are narrow and his nose is a bit pointed.
"What?! 36 hours?!" it's bad. I slept for a day and a half.
Like a sleeping beauty.
"Yes, and it's good that you woke up because we don't know who to call in your family to let them know what happened." They don't need to know.
Gosh.
"So, my family hasn't come to visit me yet.." because they won't look for me because they're used to me not being by their side. My presence and another they hate me.
"No hija, we were planning to report what happened to the police but we didn't continue and just waited for you to wake up." It's a good thing they didn't inform the police because when Mommy gets to know what happened, those people will just get angry.
"Thank you so much. I owe you a lot. You saved me.." I hugged it tightly. he also hugged me back and stroked my hair.
"It's okay child, I'm a mother and I know how your mother will feel when you're gone. I'm also one of my children because she died so hard.." she said bitterly.
"Sorry to hear that, Ma'am."
"It's okay, I'm Fe. What's your name? So that the family can be told what happened." it said.
"I am Atarah Klyte Dela Veja and don't bother telling my family. They are angry with me. They don't care what happened to me." I tried to smile here but he just touched both of my cheeks and shook his head.
"Son, no matter what happens, they are your family, no matter how much they hate you, they love you even more. Those people are already worried about you." frowned when asked.
"No, they're busy because my sister is also in the hospital and I don't want to give them a headache. The important thing is that I'm alive, eh." I replied while still smiling at her so she sadly smiled back.
"Son, do you know why God saved you, and gave you a second life, that's because your heart is still full of sorrow and hatred. You are harboring a grudge against the people who are close to you. God wants your heart to be clean when it's time for you because if it's not, you won't be accepted at the top." he explained. She's really
kind though. The luck of his wife and son.
I wish she was my mother.
"Thank you, I'm trying to get rid of the resentment I feel but I can't." it's true. I always try but I can't do it, I just feel worse.
"I understand. You're not ready yet. There's a right time for that. Just take it easy and don't rush it. So, if you don't want to tell your family what happened to you, then I won't force you." He smiled and then hugged me again. That's the hug I'm looking for with love.
"Thank you very much."
"Can you call me 'Mother Fe' hija?" he said while caressing my cheek so I nodded.
"Yes, Mother Fe.."
"Thank you, son. I know you're hungry, son because you've been asleep for a day and a half. I'll prepare you something to eat." I smiled at Mother Fe and just nodded.
°°°
Mother Fe just went out for a while because she said she was just going to buy something. I also borrowed a phone because I was going to call Mikee. My best friend is supposed to watch over me because I'm really shy around Mother Fe.
I'm disturbing him too much because instead of being in their cafeteria, he's here watching over me.
Crap! Crap!
I dialed Kee's phone number. I memorized it so I won't have any trouble contacting it. The phone was ringing but it was more than two minutes before he answered the call.
[Hello? Who is this? Wrong number? ]
The other line asked gruffly and I'm sure he frowned. "Kee, It's Ath." I am calm.
[ Omg?! As in my crazy best friend?! Atarah Klyte Dela Veja?! ]
I was saddened by the fact that he was not circumcised. His OA, huh? "Duh, you're so OA, aren't you? Yes, please calm down. Is there anyone there?"
[ How can I calm down?! You've been missing for two days and your car was found broken. ]
He became modest and his voice was hoarse as if he were crying.
"Shh, I'm fine. Please don't tell anyone that I called, especially Mommy and Daddy.."
[ Where are you Ath? ]
"Where's the hospital I'm at now? At JBM Hospital. Go see me, but no one should know." His manner was so serious that he held his breath.
[Wait?! The last time we checked, that hospital was not there. ]
Maybe because Mother Fe didn't know my name, she registered a different name.
"Hey, that's it. Come here, please. Don't tell Mommy or anyone else." I don't want to see them anymore and I'm afraid to see them so angry.
[ Why not?! Do you know they care so much? Mommy can't talk properly anymore. ]
"Please Kee..." I begged because I'm not ready yet.
[ Ugh. Fine, wait for me there. ]
I even heard her sigh before I hung up and texted her.
To Mike:
Call me if you're here.
I left my seat on the bed and walked to the CR as I dragged my dextrose. I can only walk slowly because the pain of my wounds is too much!
When I got inside Cr, I saw my full appearance because there was a mirror in the sink.
My color is pale as well as my lips. I have many wounds on my face. I opened the button on my sleeping clothes.
The wounds surrounding my chest as well as its bandage were burning. Earlier, all my wounds were cleaned and I found out that a big and deep wound on my chest and also on my head was sewn up so they were bandaged.
It's good and this is the only thing I got, I've already had a CT scan and they said nothing was injured on my head other than the deep wound I got on my head.
I spent more than ten minutes in CR before getting out and laying back on the bed.
I was just staring at the ceiling and I didn't know, but Rare Paasa's face suddenly entered my mind so I shook my head. Paepal because why did I suddenly think of him?
I just closed my eyes until I fell asleep.
°°°
I Woke up feeling like my dextrose was being adjusted. I opened my eyes and the face of Rare's face on the side immediately appeared to me and I immediately sat on the hospital bed.
His nose is so crooked. Okay self, why did you notice that?
"What are you doing here?" I said with wide eyes. I looked back at Mikee.
"Kee, why did you take him with you?!" I avoided and shook his hand holding mine because he was adjusting my dextrose.
She looked at me while poutin' and mouthed 'sorry' "It's not her fault. I was with Mikee when you called her." His jaw tightened and he sat next to my bed.
"D-mn why didn't you tell me right away Kee? What does Daddy already know?" I asked confused. I want to be angry with him but I can't.
"Not yet," Mikee answered shaking her head. I bit my lip and combed my hair with my hand.
"Ugh. Get out Rare. I don't need you here. And make sure you keep your mouth shut." I shoved him away but he just looked at me seriously.
"No. Tito needs to know this. They worry too much about you. Don't be selfish Atarah, think about their feelings too." he suddenly said without emotion.
Just wow, what he said made my trip even more. Am I selfish? Is he going?
"Wow, I'm still selfish? I'm still Rare?! I just don't want what happened to me to add to the harm I caused her." I bit my lip because I was crying again.
Kaazar.
His jaw tightened and he sighed before he stood up and hugged me.
"Hush. Don't cry. They care for you coz you're their daughter." he whispered to me while stroking my hair.
"No... No. Maybe you're also mad at me because I hurt ." I tried to get out of his arms but he just stopped me and hugged me tighter.
"Of course, I'm not, why are you thinking like that?" he removed his hug from me and looked me directly in the eyes while caressing my cheek slowly.
"Of course you love that and then I hurt you. You're all mad at me, aren't I right?" I said like a child while bending down because I didn't want to meet his charming eyes.
"F-ck, no Atarah. I'm not mad at you. Akisha is fine now but her pregnancy is delicate."
"Became picky because of me? 'Aren't I very bad! Maybe you're right about my selfishness." I said bitterly. I looked at Mikee who was also crying while looking at us.
"No Ath. You're not bad because you got carried away by emotions, huh." Mikee said while wiping her tears.
"It's still the same. I'm still the reason, nothing will change." My jaw clenched and I moved a little further away from Rare.
"Your sister is also worried about you. She won't stop crying either. You've been missing for two days and then you had an accident." I looked at Mikee and raised my eyebrows because I couldn't believe what he said.
"She's right. As I said, Akisha's pregnancy is delicate and it's not healthy if she's always cryin'" Rare replied then grabbed my hand so I looked at it and was stunned.
"So our point here Ath. They need to know you're here." Mikee added.
I was quiet and thought. I'm afraid of their reaction after what happened to me.
"Maybe because they are very angry. I'm afraid.." I bent down and just looked at the floor.
"Tito loves you Ath.. So don't worry. I'm here. I mean we're here for you.." Rare said so I bit my lip and wiped the remaining tears left at the corner of my eyes.
"Thank you. Where's Mother Fe? Has she arrived yet?"
"Yes, but we sent her home first, she looks so exhausted," answered Mikee
"Good. So I agree. Tell them, Dad." maybe it would be better for them to know Dad.
"Alright, I'll call Tito Anjo. Wait." it came out and Rare and I were left inside.
"Why did you run?" it suddenly asked. I know he's referring to what I did to clean the mansion after what happened.
"I'm afraid. Dad is very mad even Mommy even though he's panicking. Of course Charl too.. and also you because of course you love that and then I just hurt you." I didn't look at him and instead just looked at the floor.
"Why do you always say I still love him? D-mn, so boring you don't know anything." this disgusted language is very crooked.
"Jusko is the obvious one." this time I looked at him and then tortured him.
"I'm not in love with her anymore," it said seriously.
He will fool you with his tongue. As if, I will believe him. Gosh.
"Why do your eyes say otherwise." of course, I was just pissed off. I can't read his expression or what his eyes are saying as if there is something shielded here that you can only see attraction.
"Lol. It's up to you if you want to believe that s**t, I don't care by the way," He said gruffly.
"Really ha. Alright, what's that wild thing? You want to make her jealous right and I know you noticed that they were affected."
"No of course. I don't want to make her jealous. How can someone who loves someone else be jealous? She doesn't even care about me, anymore. " No you're wrong, Rare.
"Really huh? So what? Are you going to get back at him?" I asked here and did not continue what I intended to say.
"What no! Can't I just be serious about you?" wow, g-go even excused me, it's obvious that he's taking revenge and just using me.
"Wow. Rare. Wow. I knew you would only use me. Duh." well, use us. What did he think of taking advantage of me and getting nothing in return?
"Lol. You know better than me huh?"
He spoke sarcastically while looking at me intently.
"But here. Remember Rare. I will never touch you again. I mean you will no longer be the one to supply me with sperm. I will find someone else even if you are flirting with me 'SUPPORTED'" he frowned while looking at me as if he didn't believe what I said.
"Still, you're serious about that huh." He held his clenched jaw and gave me a measured look.
"Of course."
"Don't you dare Atarah.." he said seriously.
"Why are you 'beb' jealous?" he closed his eyes tightly when he heard 'beb'
"f**k that Beb. Stop calling me that. And d-mn I'm not jealous.'' oh defensive! The Doctor is angry! Hahaha. Pikon.
"Okay. Not anymore. Why are you affected that I call you baby? You still love me, don't you?" I teased her. I love teasing him. He's sick. I love seeing him pissed off.
"You're so annoying."
"Remember Rare. You don't have any hope for it. She is married and she has two children, don't get your hopes up, Okay? Don't destroy their family. The height of what you studied will become Are you just hanging out? Yak." I'm straightforward. Even though I'm annoyed with Charl and, I will never be so desperate to destroy them.
"What the hell?" it said in shock. Gad his reaction is so priceless.
"Even though I'm a bit bitter. Oh, that's it. I've admitted that I'm still bitter towards Charl. I'll never destroy them. Because I'm just thinking that a child has been affected. My niece. She's sick. You're a doctor." Right, you don't want someone to get hurt, right? Instead, you're still healing. So the point here is don't destroy the family." it's true. I've moved on, I'm just bitter and I don't plan to destroy my family, duh.
"Do you think I'll do that? Do you think that's my goal?" His jaw clenched and he narrowed his eyes at me.
"Yes, it's not vague, don't rely on him."
"What about you? I can rely on you. You're single. No one is attached and I will not be attached. No one will be hurt. No one is affected." suddenly his expression changed from being annoyed, he suddenly grinned as if he was the one who was annoyed.
"Yak? No way! I don't like you. I'll never have a b-boy friend or a wife. I'll just have children!" I swallowed and looked away from him.
"No. You don't know the plan of God for you, what if we are destiny for each other huh?" he said defiantly.
"Yuck! Stop it." he brought his face closer then grinned I just made it hard. Will I go further, the smell of his breath is addicting. Mint.
He brought his face closer and closer so that I closed my eyes but immediately opened my eyes when I felt the door open so I immediately pushed him and luckily he didn't fall.
"Oh. . .oh. I'm disturbed. Hehe. Sorry. Keep doing what you're doing by the way with Uncle and Auntie." after Mikee said that, it suddenly came out.
I looked at Rare who was staring at me so I was suddenly embarrassed. "Hey, what's up?"
"You're still beautiful even though you have a lot of scars. I'm really worried about you, I don't know but I have this feeling that don't want to lose you.." it came closer to me and I just stared at him straight into his piercing eyes
"I miss you. I miss your lips." His lips touched mine and even though my brain didn't like what was happening, I still couldn't stop it. I couldn't move and what's worse was that I responded to his kiss even though I didn't want to.
What the hell is happening to me?
