Maya’s POV
“You saved me?!” I glanced at the strange woman who stood beside me. “Thank you very much”
“Ma'am” she murmured with eyes widened. She looked like she saw a different person. I mean who wouldn't when they saved a total stranger.
I rested my back on the pillow when a man in white laboratory coat walked in .
“Miss Maya, how are you feeling?” He opened the small jotting note with him as he tried to write something.
“Fine but- -” I raised my head from the pillow “My wedding!!” It was just like my head rebooted and I remembered something.
“What wedding?” The doctor asked and immediately I felt sorrowful within myself. That was when everything that happened flashed through my brain. How I prayed with my heart in pain asking for a second chance in life.
“Wait! How come?” I stood up from the bed, checked my body but I couldn't find any bruises.
“Are you okay?” I stopped at the voice of the strange lady and I glanced at her “You saved me, right?”
“Uhmm, yes” she gently nodded her hand with a confused face.
“I mean, you saved me but why am I not feeling any pain?” “I was pushed up from a building, I was in a pool of blood and you saved me right?”
“OMG! Hope it is not what I'm thinking?” She covered her mouth with her hand and glanced at the doctor.
“Miss Maya, you need to relax yourself.” “You just woke up after being unconscious for two days” the doctor moved closer to me as he tried to help me lay back on the bed.
“Two days?!” I flipped his hand away. “Today is my wedding, unfortunately this happened but doctor today is my wedding” “where is my dress?” I stretched my hand at the lady.
“Which of your dresses?” “is it the paid advert from beauty lush or the one-
“My wedding dress!!” I snapped out “look, I know it is stain with blood but I need to get to the wedding venue”
“there is no wedding anywhere, you were on set and you collapsed
“Don't be ridiculous” I smiled and continued “My phone, where is my phone”
“Here” she handed over the phone.
“Yes, Jackson” I Smiled and pressed the power on the phone, immediately my lips cured and my smile disappeared at the sight of the wallpaper. Aside from seeing a different face in front of the phone, I also noticed it two days after my wedding but I still didn't believe it was the real date. Who knows, maybe the phone malfunctioned.
“This is not my phone” I glanced at the strange lady.
“Ma'am, that's your phone” She glanced at the doctor and then looked back at me.
“Suit yourself, I will find my way!” I snapped at her and opened the door. I got outside the room, It was like a highway. I looked up and down then I rushed out of the building.
“Miss Maya, you have to calm down” I heard the strange woman calling as she ran after me. I didn't know why she followed me and I wasn't interested. I entered into the available cab and the next place I found myself was home. I mean the place where I grew up with my mother and sister.
“Grow up! For once, be like your sister Mira!” “ Why must it be two?!”
“We are here” my thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the cab man.
“Oh, yeah” I wiped the tears around my eyes and I opened the door.
“Payment?” I heard the cab ask.
“Here is it” I looked back and it was the strange lady from the hospital. She saved me again.
“Miss Maya, you can't be seen outside like this. Please let go back to the hospital”
I glanced at her “stay away from me”
“How can I possibly stay away from you when I'm your personal assistant”
“My personal assistant?!”
“Yes. Let's go back to the hospital, I will tell you everything you want to know” she pleaded.
I glanced at her for a few moments, ignored whatever she said and walked to the apartment.
I took a deep sharp breath and I pressed the doorbell.
“Hello” my mom's voice answered as she opened the door.
“What have you come here to do?” a voice in my head asked “she almost killed you remember?”
“No, she killed her,” another added.
“Wait, you must be Maya .L.” my mom's voice interrupted my thoughts . “I'm a loyal fan, I love everything you do”
“Thank you” the lady held my hand.
“No I'm not, I'm your daughter” I stared deep into her eyes.
“My What?!” She blinked her eyes severally.
“Yes, the one you almost killed. You thought I would die, right? But I'm saved” my face hardened.
She totally went dumbfounded as she stared at me “what is happening here!” she blurted out.
“Madam, we are so sorry” the lady apologized. “You can't be doing this” she whispered in my ear and did drag my hand so we could leave.
“Leave me alone! Leave me the hell alone”
“Get yourself together!!” She snapped at me “what is wrong with you? It is unbearable working with you and now you want to ruin my career?!” her voice sent a chill of fear into my bones, I stared at her and couldn't take another step.
“I'm sorry, I acted out of character” she said in her calm voice and pleaded with her hand and eyes.
“It's okay, I understand the-” I was interrupted by the sight of the person behind her.
“Jackson?!” I murmured under my voice, I didn't hesitate before I ran into his arm. I felt comforted in his arms, it made me remember those times when things get difficult at home. Jackson was my only comforter, after all he is my boyfriend.
“Maya! What are you doing here?!” He gently removed his hand and glanced at me.
“Baby” I removed my arms and stared at him up in the eyes and then hugged him again.
“Babe, who is she?” A familiar voice asked. I raised my head and it was Mara. My twin sister who got married in my place. Well, they thought they had successfully fooled Jackson because he couldn't differentiate between us but I would let him see the secret behind everything.
Jackson gently unwrapped my arms and glanced at Mara “Yeah– babe, She is the one I told you about. My sister!
