The Dinner Party

The sound of laughter awakened me up. When I opened my eyes, I realized that it was not my room. It was a small room. The one thing that is common is that the room has no window. I sat up and put my foot on the ground. Suddenly, I remembered that I could not walk because my wound did not heal, but when I pulled my pants from my right leg, I saw there was no wound.

I was surprised to see that. I rubbed my left leg's tibia with my left hand. The loud noises coming from outside It was like they were celebrating something. I saw a cane near my bed, and I grabbed it, then I started walking towards the door. As I stepped out of the room, Sarah approached me and hugged me tightly.

You wake up. Danny, she said with a smile on her face. Then she held my hand and took me to the room on the right side. It seems like a small gathering. Emma and Elias were there, along with Bethany. I was relaxed. As they saw me in the doorway, they stopped talking and started gazing at me.

Mom, look, Danny has awoken!" Sarah screamed. Alberta, who is serving the guest something, turned her face towards me and smiled.

She put the glass tray on the table. You awake. She said this while putting her hand on my right cheek. Alberta held my hand, took me to the sofa, and made me sit on the sofa.

Innaya came to see me. There was silence, even though there were many people in the room. They were staring at me. Alberta tapped on my shoulder.

How are you feeling now?"

Hmm... I am fine. I am feeling better now. But I am feeling hungry," I said. You sit here, and I will bring you something to eat. After this, Alberta leaves the room. After some time, Emma comes to me. She sits on the sofa in front of me. I am glad you are fine. I did not answer her. Elise was standing in the corner, staring at us.

I could not see any family members in the room. Meanwhile, I heard Emma's voice in my ears. How are you doing?" I turned my face towards her. "I am fine." I spoke. I nodded my head. Umm... I want to ask you: have you seen Jordan and Jace? Before I say something else. Jace and Jordan come to me and hug me tightly.

Meanwhile, my eyes fall towards Bethany. She was staring at me angrily, as if she would eat me up. Emma got up and left the room. I was sitting there quietly. In the meantime, Dr. Layton appears from behind the wall.

He approached me and shook my hand. So, how did you sleep, and how is your leg? My leg is fine, and I slept well. I spoke. Can I ask you how many days I was out because, last I saw, the wound on my leg was not fully healed? Also, I could not walk properly at that time."

Umm... I sadly have to tell you that you were in coma for a month again. But I am glad you are fine now. Do you have a headache?" Dr. Layton asked. Hmm. I am not having pain right now, so I think I do not have headaches anymore," I said.

Meanwhile, as we were conversing, Innaya walked into the room. I looked at her with a smile. She was in a pleasant mood. She greeted everyone with a smile. After meeting everyone, Innaya came over to me and sat next to me on the sofa.

Hmmm... I am so sorry for what I did. I just want to tell you that I was sick and that I reacted like that. I hope you will forgive me for hurting you." Yes, you are forgiven. It was a mistake, and you accept that. It is enough for me," I said.

A while later, I found Innaya alone in the room. I approached her. She was looking out of the window. Hey, umm… I want to ask you how you are feeling today. I mean, you can talk to me," I said. She looked at me in astonishment. About what?" Innaya asked. "Umm... nothing," I said. I did not say anything after I saw Bethany's reflection in the window glass.

I went and sat on the chair. Innaya stood in front of the window. I waited to go to Bethany. After some time, Bethany also leaves the room. Innaya walked up to me. "I am going home with my parents and my brothers. But before that, I want to apologies to you again.

When she was going away, I grabbed her hand. Innaya looked at me. I just want to ask you because you told me you do not have any siblings," I asked.

She burst into laughter. "What are you saying? I have two brothers. I know you are not feeling well because You woke up after two months." I rose to my feet. Hmm. I think you are right. I have forgotten. So, see you later," I said while going to the room where I woke up.

What happened? Why do I not remember anything except the day I got shot? I was mumbling. Suddenly, from nowhere, Robert approached me. He grabbed my hand and helped me sit on the bed.

"How are you feeling now?"

I shake my head. I am good, and I want to ask you one thing. Why was Innaya saying that I woke up after two months? Because Dr. Layton told me earlier that I woke up from a coma after a month. Robert is simply staring at me. He said nothing. I spoke again.

I want to go to my room. " I think you should lay down and get some rest. " Hmmm. I guess you are right," I said while lying on the bed. Robert walks out of the room. Robert closes the door behind him.

I sat up and nodded my head. She told me that she has no siblings. She did not have two brothers. I called her by a different name. What is her name? Hmm... I started feeling pain in my head. What is going on? I was mumbling.

I was rubbing my forehead with my right hand. Then I remembered that Ryan had come to my room and told me something. What did he say? I had to remember. He said something about the window, but there was no window. What window was he talking about?

I was having a hard time remembering. I do not understand anything. I rose to my feet and walked towards the door. An old man approached me and tapped on my shoulder. Hey, kid, do you remember me?

I looked at him in astonishment. "Hmmm... not really," I said. Umm... It is okay. I introduce myself again. My name is Steven Hall. I owned a butcher shop. You have already met my wife, Rebecca. She was with Alberta, serving guests.

I nodded my head. I did not pay attention to him. He spoke again. Fine, you are not looking good. Are you feeling well?"

Yes, I am fine," I said. Steven made me sit on the chair. I had a headache. Steven clears his throat to get my attention. I looked at him. Have you noticed? You look happy in these pictures. I started gazing at the pictures on the wall.

I was simply staring at the pictures. Steven kept talking about something. I was not paying attention to him. Then suddenly I remembered the picture I found in Innaya's house.
