When I woke up, I was covered in a blanket and my friends looking down at the bed where I was laid with sad, expectant but hopeful eyes. What surprised me the most was that I was still at home. I guess Goodness must have done a thing or two and obviously she got it right(as a medical student that she is na).
"Ouchhhhh" I exclaimed asked I sat up. "Pearl you OK?" Janet asked.
"Oh, the princess is up" Chidinma emphasized.
"I knew you'll be fine" she said in alignment to my thoughts. "Your heart rate, breathing, and pulse was normal. I guess you just had a panic attack and besides you were gone for just ten minutes" she assured. 'Ten minutes?' My thoughts drifted...I thought I had spent the whole day in oblivion...... I imagined as her voice brought me back again..
"If it was more than that I would have turned you in to doctor Jide Smith for attention" she concluded with a sense of humor and a little bit of pride mixed together as she walked towards the bed with a pain relief drug and a glass of water for the splitting headache that romanced my head causing me to moan in pain.
"Hmmmmm" I sighed recalling how she called Jide's name as I granted the pills painless passage through my throat.
"What happened exactly?" Maybe inquired lovingly as usual.
"I guess Goody is right, I might have panicked a little bit" I said in an attempt to cover up as I was unsure of what to tell them.
"Oh it's OK" Nonso said in obvious disbelief, "You'll be OK, if that's it" she confused as she mopped my forehead diligently.
'Hmmmmmmm, she has started with her suspicions again' I thought to myself.
As time went by, I got discharged when I was sure to be free from any major risks. Doctor Jide Smith(as I later realized was the doctor in charge of my case) really functioned in a surprising capacity even more than he promised (as my friends told me). He helped with the bills and made sure I was monitored till I was free from any form of danger(major and minor).
I began to live. That was all I could to. After all, it's been three weeks till after the whole incident and I was two months gone already.
All these while, my friends told me about a guy they called 'Sweetness' that was so interested in me even in my condition, they told me he could help me go through the pain and stress and I obliged. Love was all I needed...you know. We were introduced and we started talking, I didn't really like him much but he showered me with excess Love so we started a kind of serious relationship.
Although I got a clue that Jide liked me and I should have had butterflies for him too(he was jaw-droopingly cute), But my friends insisted on Sweetness as a better option and I obliged.
(Actually, this wasn't the first time I was meeting Jide and thinking of having butterflies for him but I had to lose my memory that contained all romantic thoughts of him so I could meet Hossie for the first time at least).
Right?????
