"Alice, wake up my child. Don't do this to us. " Certain cry. Certain voice makes Alice's head hurt so much. She felt like this is the voice she longed for a long time. She felt pain around her neck. She felt pain on her body. Like needles all around her. She felt different. Felt something is not right. Supposedly, she is in her room, now. Is this dream? But the pain felt so real.
Her eyes slowly opened as she scanned around her surroundings. To her suprise, beside her is the person who she didn't expect to meet agajn.
"Alice, you wake up. Doctor. Doctor!" The woman frantically called for the doctor. Alice want to speak something but her voice didn't come out. Is this a dream? Why she is here?
A group of white coat team entered the room. Alice just let them inspect her body and everything. She still can't digested the information her brain sending her of this familiar surrounding. Is she back?
"Everything is okay. But do not force her to talk too much. Due to the incident, her voice had to healed for a few months. But she can still talk slowly. " Upon saying that, the doctors and nurses left the room.
"Alice, why you do this thing?" Tears can be felt on her shoulders as the woman hugged her and cry. Like crying a lot. So, this is real. She is back. What? She is back?
"Mumm..Mumm" She want to speak more but only that words can come out. Hearing that, her mother hold her hands as she asked frantically.
"Why, dear? What do you want? Water? " She nodded weakly as she see her mother pour down water into a small cup beside her bed. She thought that she is in a new world before this. Becoming a new person. Alicia Key. But what is the thing happening right now. Like, right now she is back toward her real self. Alicia Simon. The one who suicide due to betrayal. She hold her neck. Pain can be felt around her neck as she slowly trace her neck.
Giving the water to her, her mother lifted up a bit her head to ensure that she drink the water slowly. Finishing the drink, she smiled at her mother as she lied down on the bed.
"Alice, mum didn't know why you want to die? But didn't even think about me? Your father? He works till late at the construction site. But you? You want to kill yourself"
Alice smile bitterly as she heard her mother's word. So, this is how her mother would be like. She didn't know what is the thing happening right now. But is this also a chance for her to redeem. She thought she have to become Alicia Key, living a 17 year old world. But no. She returned her. To her old self To her 20's life which full of betrayal and deception. Slowly, tears are falling down her cheeks . She sobbed as she think her ingratefulness. She didn't even think about her parents.
"Mum, sorry".She said weakly. Her mother caressed her hand as she nodded and smile towards her.
"Its okay. Mum knows you're hurt. Luckily, mum arrived home before it is too late". Upon hearing that sentence, her sobbing becomes more loud. Mum is the one who found her at the brink of her death. What could Mum feels at that moment? She must blame herself a lot for her action.
To be honest, Mrs Alecia felt the same way. When she enter her house, she felt there is something not right. Like her instinct told her something is happening. So, she open every room. To her dismay, she see her daughter is hanging on the ceiling but she took fast action. She takes the chair that are dropped on the floor and she pull her daughter as she release her from the binding.
At that moment, she felt like a kind of disappointment. Why her daughter do this? Why she resort to this? But that moment she didn't have the time to think as she called for ambulance and giving emergency breath to her daughter in the meantime. Luckily, her daughter wake up even she wakes up after 20 days.
"Mum thank you". Her eyes slowly closed by themselves as she feel tired and sleepy. In the back of her mind, she think about Alicia Key. If she is here, what happen to the other person? Is it the real Alicia Key didn't die just like her? Or is everything is a dream? But the thing she experienced as Alicia felt so real that she can't help to think it is not a dream.
She wonder how the thing for Alicia Key. Even though she only occupied that body for 4 days but everything is so amazing for her. To be honest, she also misses the feeling there. To have a friend. To have a friend who understand her . To have someone called friend. Here, she had no friend. She wished she get the chance to feel the same feeling again. The feeling she felt when she is with Melinda. But maybe this is for the best. Because she is here right now.
But she forgot the thing is be careful with what you wished for. Because wish is a form of a heart-clenching desire for a person. She didn't realize that everything around her is changing as she felt to deep slumber.
