The sun creeped in through the little hole in the window with its magnificent ray reflecting on her beautiful face. She lazily opened her pretty round eyes and looked at the wall clock in her small but amazing room. It was 8Aam. We had all waited for our sleeping beauty to wake up, and finally she opened her eyes. We had been spying on her not for anything but to know when our sleeping beauty would finally arise.
The three best friends ( Joy , Eldorado and Nadia) were all college students who loved doing everything together. We had this perfect relationship between friends that others on campus envied and some thought we were triplets since we basically looked alike, had almost the same height and lived close to each other, knew each other's secret and did everything together. We were just cool together you know. It was Nadia's birthday and we had all decided to go have a picnic at one the coolest hotels in the state. We chose that place because it was just the perfect place to have such an amazing picnic to celebrate our wonderful friend.
It's Saturday sleepy head!! Joy exclaimed to the cute being still laying in bed. I opened the window and a cool breeze blew in on her causing a wide smile to spread on her face, revealing her white perfect dentition making her look so breathtaking. Happy birthday!! Echoed myself and Joy making her smile even more. We really love ourselves so much that we love to see each other swimming in so much joy.
Ohh!! it's my birthday, Nadia said, getting up from the bed, she peeped outside and admired the beauty of nature. The breeze kept blowing and the birds were chirping melodiously, the sky was blue and the sun was looking more beautiful than ever, making Nadia feel even more special that even nature honored her day by giving her such fair weather. We all dashed out of Nadia's room and had our normal morning routine.
Since it was Nadia's birthday! We added a little flavor to our day just to make her feel more special. There was a division of fun labor. I went grocery shopping, Nadia and Joy packed the baskets for the picnic and prepared all the necessary things we needed to bake a cake to carry along for this long awaited day out. When I got back from the grocery store we started baking the cake. It was fun. We chitchatted about our boyfriend's, enemies and worst of all, most of our annoying lecturers at school. We sang the happy birthday song by Jovanie to our birthday girl and danced around her. She blushed and felt loved. We played while waiting for the cake to be ready, filled the compound with a shout of celebration and poured water on ourselves until beep! The cake was ready. Nadia wanted to see what it looked like first so we let her bring it out of the oven and it was just the perfect cake for a perfect picnic and a perfect princess.
We had our baths, wore something casual, packed all we needed and set out to enjoy our day. When we finally arrived at the resort we got down from the cab and took a short view of the environment and it was just perfect. Nadia was feeling pretty and blessed to have such amazing friends and a tear dropped down her cheeks. I and Joy hugged her telling her all the sweet things in the world and she felt even more blessed. We found our way past the security guards and headed to the open field where we spread our sheets, unpacked our loaded baskets, placed the cake in the middle and decorated it with candles. We couldn't wait for our Nadia to blow those lights we had lit on the candle off and make an extraordinary birthday wish. At this moment the time was 3:30pm. We sang and danced around her again and she blushed even more. It was time for her to blow off those candle lights.
We were all smiling as our beautiful Nadia blew off the lights and was about to make her wish when the unexpected happened.
A state of Panic
Nadia slumped to the ground, I and joy were thinking it was her own way of making her wish, seconds passed away without her rising then we began to panic. Nadia had been fine all the time we were preparing for her picnic, she was strong and didn't seem like anything was bothering her. We tried waking her up but to no avail. Our Nadia was breathing but couldn't hear us or give any response to our calling. We ran to the security guards and reported the situation to them. An ambulance was brought ASAP carrying our birthday girl to the hospital. I and Joy were panicking uncontrollably with tears welled up in our eyes. We had waited for this day and finally it came and now the unexpected just happened. We got to the hospital at 4: 50 pm and Nadia was rushed to the emergency room.
The doctor asked us to calm down cause at this point we were crying uncontrollably, people were staring at us and wondering what was going on but they were just as lost as we were because we needed an answer to the reason Nadia slumped that way on her birthday that we all wanted to celebrate with joy. We couldn't go home at all for fear of what might happen to Nadia. I tried comforting Joy even when deep down I was bleeding badly. The doctor asked us to take a rest so that he was gonna run a test on her to know what's wrong with her but taking a rest wasn't part of what we wanted to do that time, all we wanted was to know what's behind our friends slumber and was ready to fight with her to the end.
I woke up the next morning on the couch with Joy's head resting on my shoulder. It was a Sunday morning and the doctor had not arrived yet so I and joy headed home to freshen up before heading back to the hospital to check on Nadia and also get her test results.
We lost all appetite and had just fruits from the remains of what I got from the grocery store. We rushed back to the hospital looking helpless. Someone could perceive from our looks that all wasn't well. The receptionist welcomed us as soon as we stepped into the hospital and told us the doctor wanted to see us. At the doctor's office he had a paper in his hands, asked us to sit down and told us not to Panic. "Who is she to you?" was the question from the doctor, Joy picked it up immediately telling him she was our friend and we stayed in the same apartment though different rooms but attend the same college. Giving him all the vital information he needed while I was getting impatient with my head buried in my hands waiting to hear the result the doctor had.
Finally he got the information he needed and gave the result slip to me. What?? How come?? Where?? When?? Who?? Were the questions that escaped my lips, I cried and Joy took the slip from me and gave it a look she couldn't utter a word cause I know she had the same questions to ask. Calm down misses were the words of the doctor, she is fine and the baby is doing well!! Baby??? We couldn't wait for her to wake up to explain to us how she got a baby in her stomach...
