Crina POV
The whole conversation that I had with Ryder kept playing in my head as I drove the car heading home that evening . I could not believe it at all. Ryder was not the Ryder that I knew earlier . He was actually completely changed now and had become a 1completely different person now.
It was clear he was now holding a very huge grudge towards me. But that unfair of him . I had not done anything to him but rather love and cherish him as though he was my own son. My fear as always been for him to say that he does not consider me as his mother . I have always feared that so much but unfortunately it as like this was the thing that I have been fearing all this time has finally come to pass and that was the life that I was living in right now.
I was so lost in so many thoughts that I did not even know that the traffic lights had let us go . I just remained at the spot and by the time I started the car again – it was too late and that was how I ended up colliding and crashing with the other car that was coming from the opposite direction.
Darkness too over my whole eyes and that was the last thing that I knew.
LATER
I wanted to open my eyes but it felt like my body had been beaten up so much that I did not have even have the slightest second to open them. I did not know what had happened to me. The last thing that I recall was for me bumping into a car at the traffic lights and that is all that I recall.
"you need to check her one more time so that we can be share when she will be up." I knew that voice. Yes , I knew that voice very much . it belonged to Ryder. But wait , whom was he talking about? Was it me? If that was it then I had to open my eyes so that I could stop asking myself all those questions and have then answered by just looking at them .
With a lot of effort , I managed to have my eyes opened. I could not believe what I was seeing . it was me who was lying on the bed that I straight way was bale to identify that it was actually an hospital bed. I had all those doctor things put all over me.
"Ryder ." I trued to call out my son . Though I was not able to look in the direction where he was, I was more than sure that he was around here .
"She is awake!" I heard my son's yell as he got closer towards me . He quickly sat next to me and looked closer to me with tear filled eyes.
"mom , you are really awake?" it came more like a question other than a statement .The way he looked at me shown it all ;he had been crying for a long time now. But then how long had I been like this?
"What happened to me ?'' I managed to form a proper question that I asked him .
"You mean you don't recall a thing ?" he questioned me this time a bit of surprise shown on his face. This time he was acting like the son that he has been all the time before he approached me erotically that time in my office at the college .
"Not that , actually the last thing that I recall was when I was getting into a crush and that was actually the last thing that I knew." The was actually the only thing that I could recall even with how much I was trying to strain my head so that I could be able to recall something so much.
"Oh , mom . o don't even want to recall about all that happened. You have no idea when how I felt the moment I got that phone call from that un known number that informed me that you had been involved in an accident . It was the most scary thing that ever happened to me." He lamented but then stopped for a second or two as tears were following down his eyes. He looked aware and then used his handkerchief to dry his eyes. It was like he did not want to me to see him cry .
That was how my boy had been all this time. He had at many occasions told me that real men don't cry and indeed the moment you see him cry then you have to know that what ever he has been crying about is about something that he loves so much .
The thought that he still cared for me warmed my heart and also some how reduced the despair that was beginning to feel my heart .
"The call that said that you were supposedly dead almost made me get a stroke . I was at the house but quickly rushed here and for a couple of days I never wished to get away from your side ." he went on still as emotional as he was from the time I set my eyes on him . But wait? What did he say – it was about the several days and all that.
"You just said a couple of days ?" I could not help but ask .
"Yes , you have been in a comma for four days straight and if you did not woke up today then it could have been five days ." I could not believe it all. I had been sleeping in this bed for a total of five days without even making a single movement . I had never gone through such an experience .
"Yes, that is true but if it was not for that gentleman who rushed you here-I don't have any idea how things would be now.
