I opened my eyes gently adjusting to the harsh light penetrating in my eyes. I felt very weak and most especially, tired. I looked around my surrounding and wonder where I was.
I tried lifting my head up but its as if a magnetic force is pulling my head backwards.
"Oh Khair, you are awake,thank God" a familiar male voice said and to turn my head to look at that person is a problem
"Ouch" I yelped in pain as I forced myself to look at the person which appears to be Ibrahim
"Ib...Ibrahim.... Ibrahim" I struggle to call his name with my hoarse voice
"Yes Khair, I'm so so sorry,I am the cause of everything that happen to you now,I'm sorry" he said holding my hands
"Where...am I?" I asked
"You are in the hospital"
"What happened to me?"
"You fell inside the pool" he replied and that's when I started remembering everything.
Ibrahim called my name when we were coming back from the garage with Maya and I jumped in fear falling inside the pool with my back hitting the side of the pool
That hurt mehn!
"Oh so where is Maya?" I asked
"I forced her to go home cos she kept crying and feeling guilty for everything whereby its my fault. I'm sorry" he said facing down
"No its not and stop apologizing." I said giving him a small smile that hurts
"Let me call her"he said and I nodded. Before three minutes,Maya entered the hospital with Habiba
"Huh that was quick"Ibrahim said to them surprised
"Yeah,we didn't really go home,we sat at the couch outside" Habiba explained as Maya rushed to me.
She hugged me tightly and I managed to shout. "Oh sorry, I'm so sorry. Its all my fault" Maya cried her voice cracking
"Hey stop crying, its not your fault girl" I tried to calm her down but my hands are not even moving
We stayed in a comfortable silence when the doctor walked in. "Hi" he said to us all
"Hi" we replied and he walked directly to me
"You are awake" he said and I nodded
"Good" he said checking my temperature and touching here and there asking if I feel any pain as he touches it
"All my body are so sore and I find it hard to move" I told him when he asked what I was feeling
"Its resulted from doing something that you aren't use to by all means. For example, a person that has never work out before and he started working out,he suppose to do it step by step, little by little but he took everything upon himself at once,that's what usually cause this extreme body ache" the doctor explained as I think back to what I did from the past few weeks and I found all what he said to be 100%true
I wasn't use to doing any kind of unnecessary stressful thing,so the rehearsal I did continuously for the graduation show at once is what caused all these things to me,and also the over dancing I did at the graduation and prom night
"But don't worry, you shall be okay if you get a very lonngg enough rest,I mean very long" the doctor exaggerated and walked out after telling us bye
"Should I call your mum?" Maya asked worried
"No you shouldn't. She will get too worried and... And...I don't know just don't tell her but you should call uncle Haroon" I told them
"I don't have his number" Maya said
"Oh where is my phone?"
"Its fell inside the pool with you and now its spoilt"
"Oh no,I have crammed his number before but its seems like I have lost my memory too,damn it" I mouthed
"Don't worry I have his number" Habiba said bringing out her phone
"Ok thank goodness" I sighed managing to lift my hands and rubbing my temples. "Wait what?!how did you have his number?" I questioned
"It doesn't matter now so just relax and let me do my job" she concluded standing up and getting out of the room
.....
"Uncle Haroon" I called when he entered
"Khair what happened to you?"he asked worried
" I told you already"Habiba chirped in
"I know,I want to hear it from the horse mouth" he said
"Uncle Haroon, guess what,I don't have strength to talk" I said so that he could let me be
"Ok I'm sorry" he said sitting on a stool next to me
What's up with people apologizing today?
Thinking about how my life entered this terrible mess,I suddenly fall asleep
When I woke up,its already very dark and I can't find anyone anywhere. I on the light switch that is just right above my head and that's when I saw Habiba sleeping on the chair uncomfortably.
There was a knock on the door and I said a small 'come in',the person managed and hear what I said as he opened the door
Ibrahim walked in with a basket with food flask in it. He greeted me and sat down
"How are you feeling?" He asked
"Better but I still can't move"
"Sorry, I bought you food"
"You shouldn't have do that, I can tell unc..." I started but he interrupted me
"Shh,I insisted to bring you food so keep quiet and eat"
"I can't move"
"Ok let me feed you"
Why must he be so sweet?
He helped me sit well on the small bed and fed me. I felt so shy and embarrassed
After I finished eating,I heard 'awwwn' from the background and it was no one other than the dramatic Habiba
"Don't tell me you did that" I requested with wide eyes as I saw her videoing us with her phone
"Oh yes I did,come take it if you can" she smirked
"I beg you don't show anyone"
"No I wouldn't. Its for future history for your children"
"Gosh" I said facing the other side embarrassed. After spending some minutes with us,Ibrahim finally left
...
"Congratulations, you are going to be discharged today but make sure you don't do such a thing again OK?" The doctor advised
"Thank you doc" I smiled happy that I'm finally leaving the hospital after staying for three days.
The doctor left and we all cheered silently. "Oh my, what will I tell my parents" I exclaimed
"Don't worry,I took care of that" uncle Haroon said making me sigh in relief
"Wait,what did you tell them?"
"Relax, I said you are staying over at Maya's house for some useless exam" he said.
We took everything that belongs to us and went out of the hospital after uncle Haroon signed the discharge paper. I entered uncle Haroon's car and rolled the window down
"Thank you so much guys,especially you Ibrahim" I said facing him
"Don't mention" he replied smiling
"You don't mean it right?" Maya said glaring at me and we laughed
"I mean it" I said
"Ok anyway, I would visit you today insha Allah" Maya said entering Habiba's car
"Wish you speed recovery Khair" Habiba said starting up her car's engine
"Thank you Habiba, bye" I waved at her and she drove out
"Ok Khair, I promise never to scare you again. Take care of yourself, bye" Ibrahim said looking at me with smile and shaking uncle Haroon's hand
"Ok thanks for everything" I said and he drove off. We also drove out of the hospital and going home
As we reached my house,my parent were not even around so I went straight to my bed. Room sweet room!
