Dead or Alive - Part 2

Am I dead? Or alive? 

And where I am? In heaven, hell or my subconscious mind is playing tricks with me? 

There were hundreds of question floating in my head and I was clueless about what is going on. 

And suddenly every piece of my memory of entire life started floating around me and it was spinning around my head like a hurricane. I was getting more and more anxious . The hurricane was consuming me and again I drifted to a deep dreamless sleep. 

I don't remember how long I have slept or was unconscious but when I woke up, I was lying on the swing which is at terrace. The Sun had risen. I was confused but suddenly I remember all the events happened previous day. Reuben's visit and Mael's attack... Yes, I was attacked. 

My hand went through my head to feel any kind of injury but to me surprise there was nothing. I was feeling absolutely fine. I recalled everything which happened yesterday but there was nothing wrong with me or my body.. May be I had been slept here and everything after that was possibly a dream.. Yes, it must be dream or how could be I am here so fine. 

I breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to my room. 

The door of my room was wide open and I could hear my mom's voice from very far. 

Why is she shouting so loudly when no one is in the room? 

I fastened my speed to go in my room but what I saw, it chilled me through core.

Mael's POV

As I saw Von walking out of the medical lab with grim expression, my heart was drowning. I was unable to speak. My heart threatenend to ask. No, please God please, She has nothing to do with the mess I created. She is innocent, please don't let anything bad happen to her. 

I prayed internally but couldn't speak. 

As Von reached me he said - Due to heavy bleeding in the layers of the brain, the fluid pushed up against the skull. As a result, it has damaged the RAS (Reticular Activating Syestem), a part of the brain that's responsible for arousal and awareness. In common term, She is in coma. 

The ground below my feet shifted as I heard Von. No, this can't be possible. 

Anxiously I asked - How sever it is and when will be she wake up? 

Von said - I can't say anything. May be in 2 days, 2 month, 2 year or...  Perhaps she will be unconscious forever. 

I broke into tears and cried loudly. I cursed myself. I was not intended to hit her. I just wanted to kidnap her and bring her to my place so I could explain everything to her. I had known her, in normal circumstances, she would never listen what I wanted to say. She is stubborn. So I have to do so but due to my carelessness, she is in coma. Never ever in my worst nightmare I would have done this, then why I did so.. I have loved her. I have done so many terrible things but only one thing I have done right and that is to love her and now look what I have done now. 

It can't be true. She has to wake up. She has to wake up for me, for us. 

I hurried to the room where she was lying unconsciously. I sat near her bed and held her hand affectionately. She was looking so pale yet so beautiful. I kissed softly on her forehead and listened to her soft slumber. 

Holding her hand I said - I love you Celia. I know you would never believe me but for once, you have to listen me and for that you have to wake up. Please don't punish me like this my love. Wake up!
