Unveiling Amelia

'I know you can hear me, and I want you to get well soon. I want to talk to you, about who are you, and where you come from. Soon you will be out of this hospital bed and will be walking and smiling like before. I don't know your name and don't want to address you by the ward number, so I'll call you sleeping Beauty. Ethan said with a chuckle unaware that Amelia had regained her consciousness.

Amelia had regained consciousness but she couldn't open her eyes, she tried a lot to move but her body wouldn't listen. She lay there completely motionless, wanting to cry, scream, and see the light. She could hear everything around her, but could not respond. The darkness around her was frustrating.

Until she heard the voice, the voice of an angel. He was saying something about her being in a coma. She had lost a ton of blood and her body was weak.

He was talking to her, and she felt him near her. And then she heard him asking for her name, and she tried to respond, in vain. And, she heard this angel call her 'Sleeping Beauty' and she smiled inwardly, blushing maybe. Her angel would come and talk to her every day, and she would feel so relaxed. She also recognized his smell, fresh cologne. Everything about him seemed heavenly to her, only if she could open her eyes and see his face. But she was too tired to do that, so feeling drained of her energy, she fell back to sleep.

He chuckled softly, and then continued, with a serious tone this time, You know what, I don't care if you think I am mad, but I have fallen for you. Even without knowing about you, I have a strong feeling that I know you. As if I was waiting for you all these years to come to me. I won't let you go again:

A frown appeared on his face as he thought of the time she met him, and he shuddered. 'I want to know who did that to you, I want to find him and bang his head on the walls. Why were you driving alone so late in the night? You know it isn't safe for you, sleeping beauty. I am happy I found you

Ethan had called in the best team of surgeons for advice on the case, and he was happy to know that the girl, his sleeping beauty will soon be smiling, and lively. He thought what it would be like, to see her smile. Her brain was healing at more than expected rate, and as every evening he visited after his work hours, he felt she too wanted to get well soon.

He would talk to her every day for some time, and the entire staff knew by now that Dr. Ethan had a soft corner for the girl. Some of the staff nurses even secretly prayed that they both soon get together. Now, all of them waited for either a call from one of her family members or she got well to speak and tell who she was.

Two days later Oliver was in his room suffering from the internet too see how the share of his father's company was doing when he came into his ex-girlfriend's accident report.

As soon as Oliver read this report he felt guilty and couldn't help but blame himself for her accident. So without wasting a single moment, he failed Dr. Ethan's number and called him.

Dr. Ethan's phone rang with an unknown number. He picked up the call hoping for some good news.

'Hi, is this Lifeline hospital? Hi, can I talk to Dr. Ethan please?' Oliver pleaded.

'Hi, this is Ethan you are talking to. May I know who this is?'

'Sir, I want to talk to Amelia. Can I? Is she okay? I am worried about her.'

'Amelia is a really nice name. It means Lovely. It suits her perfectly. Ethan thought with a smile on his face.

'Don't worry, she is recovering faster. But she can't talk to you right now, she is in a coma yet.'

The other guy gasped for a second, and said, 'Dr, I am reaching the hospital right away. Please, I want to meet her.

'Sure, calm down boy. We are here. She is safe with us. Drive safe. We don't want another accident to happen on the way. But, may I know your name?'

'My name... My name is Oliver! I am coming sir, please be there. I am coming right away. And with that said Oliver hung the phone.

Ethan stood there, and wondered, 'Oliver; this was the name the girl, Amelia; said before she fell unconscious isn't it?'

'Could he be her boyfriend?' Ethan wondered and felt a pang in his heart. But he shook away that feeling thinking that he was thinking too much of it.
