Jenny opened the door sneakingly, saw ghostly pale looking lady lying on hospital bed unmoving, probably still unconscious.. From the last 3 days, her condition didn't improve and 1 time she was given CPR and resuscitated again, according to Dr. Ian, she isn't getting better and if she didn't wake up by the end of week then she has sustained major brain damage and chances of her being alive and healthy will be thinned to 10%. All this was told to her by Eva, a gossiping staff, yesterday. She also told her that Headstaff suggested to Dr. Ian to just give mercy killing to patient, it's better than to wait for her being conscious and retarded after month long wait afterall they have no intensive care or way to give her IV feed.
This situation made Jenny so disappointed and devastated that she spent night sleepless. She was thinking to abandon her idea of becoming a doctor. What's a use to become doctor if you can't save a patient.. She was thinking to stop volunteering at hospital, it's better to be ignorant than to be hit hard by bitter reality.
But then she thought about Dr. Ian, why he's always trying to save patients even if he couldn't?!! Why did he rescued the patient when he knows better well the situation in hospital?!! Why he insist to treat the patient despite bad prognosis??!!
And then it hit her that "Trying" is the key to be motivated and stay passionate. This was the light needed by Jenny to not to abandon her aims, not to be a coward. She promised herself to try her best no matter what!! And be the best doctor here on this Island but she'll start from that pretty lady..
Here she was standing in front of her room, early morning.. She gathered her thoughts, tried to be as cheerful as she could get and entered the room,
"Hi, Im Jenny, a volunteer, who's going to take your vitals and tend your wounds", she introduced herself with a wide enthusiastic smile, as a respect to unconscious patient and started monitoring patient's vitals.
"You know, I find you very pretty but alas you have faced such circumstances. What a waste of your beauty!!", she said, her tone was filled with pity and envy.. She reprimanded herself immediately to not to be upset, the patient needed light and positivity more in her darkness too.. Someone told her that unconscious patient can hear and detect vibes so that's the reason for her being here and all cheery early morning.
She started cleaning the patient with a wet towel after recording the vitals, the more she cleaned the face the more she marvelled at her beauty. The lady has got oval face with high cheek bones, perfectly chiseled jaw, arched thick eyebrows and full lips..
"What about her eyes??!! Would her eyes more pretty? What would be the colour of her eyes? What would have she looked like with open eyes and rosy complextion??!!", thought Jenny.
She felt utmost pity and empathy towards the lady of unknown origin and wondered about her name, age, and family.
"Pretty lady! you should wake up early! God knows how your family would be dealing with your absence? Hey do you have kids, a husband or a boyfriend or parents may be? May be your pet waiting for you!!", said Jenny, her tone was a bit hopeful now.
Meanwhile she thought to do some excercises, which she has seen Dr. Ian doing on this patient yesterday, so that the patient's limbs won't get stiff except the fractured arm.
"You know, your skin is so fair but what a pity it got decorated by red and blue bruises. Would you like if I put on exotic butter on your body so that your skin get smooth and glowing?!!", said Jenny excitedly, "or a lip tint on your lips??!! Or should I start from your hair,huh?!!", and then her gaze went to her head which was bandaged, "Oh never mind!"
"You must be getting tired from listening to me and wondering who the hell I am, not letting you peaceful even in mid of your coma" and wondered what if someone saw her doing this and will be thinking, she got a loose screw up in her head..
She laughed lightly at herself, and then got serious immediately and said, "Why ain't you waking up, huh!! You're wasting all the efforts put up by Dr. Ian, you know he's the best doctor here and you're lucky enough to be rescued by him! By the he's very handsome" She was so absorbed that she didn't know that she has already spent 3 hours in this room talking to this lady non stop, and someone has observed all her cheery activities of the day from the door..

There's was so much darkness, she couldn't find a switch to light. She has a habit to sleep in dark room but not this much dark.. Lina panicked, is she in her room??!! Horrified she tried to move but couldn't move an inch. She started to take in surrounding but there was nothing to see.. She was surrounded by pitch black darkness.. She couldn't feel herself even!! Is she dead??!! She struggled for hours and hours but she wasn't able to move even her fingers like she never had any organs or body. In the mid of her struggle, fatigue overcame and She drifted the unconsciousness.
She again woke up to find pitch black darkness, God knows after how many time has passed.. Is it a nightmare or I'm in a magic world!! Where I am!! This time she tried to think logically. She started to take in her surrounding there was continous buzzing sound. What's that!! She never heard it before. Strangely that buzzing sound wasn't annoying it was rather warm. She tried to listen more attentively as it's like only her sense of hearing is working..
She tried and tried and then she get it someone is talking to her. But she couldn't understand or comprehend it. She again hit by wave fatigue and She was losing her consciousness but before losing herself to oblivion she tried to listen again and to understand..
The only word that made sense was, "Ian". Who's that.. And then she drifted to world of blackness again..
