Meeting Aunt

Victoria's POV 

''Aunt.'' I cried out and hugged her, even though she was laying on the bed

I felt my body shook uncontrollably, and I couldn't control myself from crying.

''I'm so sorry, aunt.'' I cried as I tightened my grip on her.

The more I think of what I've been told, the more tears I shed.

I moved away from her and wipe off the tears away from my face.

I met eyes with her and could notice aunt was staring at me with wild eyes as she tried to move her lips but no sound was coming out.

''I'm here, I'm so sorry for coming late, something happened.'' I pleaded and took her hands.

Seeing aunt this way, I felt guilty and bad, how could I leave aunt in such condition and leave the country.

''When you left, she was still in a coma.'' the familiar man said those words like he was reading my thoughts.

Shaking my head in pains, I took the seat beside her while I locked eyes with her.

''She is glad you are alive, she thought we were lying to here when we told her you were alive.'' the familiar man spoke up again.

I took in a deep breath and flashed aunt a comforting smile before speaking up.

''I'm fine, aunt, don't worry about me.'' I muttered out and kissed her hands.

I noticed a smile face on her face as she tries to speak, but no sound was coming out.

''It's okay, don't force yourself.'' I begged

She flashed me another smile and closed her eyes.

''I think she just took her medication, and it's having an effect on her, so we have to leave.'' The familiar man spoke up, 

''What medication.'' I asked confused

''The one she has been taking for some weeks now, it will help her in moving her body and gaining her voice.''he explained

Hearing those words from him, a great deal of joy came to my heart

''Thank you.'' I muttered out and stood up from the chair when I noticed aunt was already asleep.

I stood up from the chair stared at everyone in the room before moving my gaze to the familiar man

''And you are.'' I asked curiously

''kelvin.'' he replied

''You are Eric's friend.'' I asked

''Let's say I'm also your friend.'' he flashed me a Big smile and was about touching my hair, but he stopped halfway.

''And I'm Sonia, your friend and roommate.'' Sonia moved closer and gave me another hug before pulling away from me

''I'm so sorry Vicky, I hope you can forgive me.'' she begged

''What did you do.'' I asked curiously.

''It's okay Sonia, that will be all for today.'' Eric cut her off before she could say anything.

''I'm still staying alone, and your things are still in the room In case you want to come back.'' 

''Thank you.'' I smiled at her and moved my gaze to Eric.

I wanted to say something to him but decided it was best I tell him when we are both alone.
