I woke up to find out I had been in comma for seven months. I had been kept in the hospital for an extra month now , for check up and recovery.
"Ok sir , you are good to go " the doctor said to me
"Thank you doctor " I replied with gladness
"I can see the joy in you heart" Raphael said to me.
"As if you aren't also happy "
"I can't hide it , waiting for seven months in a hospital for I myself to get completely alright and you to wake up , is more than enough time wasted "
I laughed at him.
Raphael had been in comma for a month and came out of it with broken bones , which were totally healed. Guess he had more impact due to the blow up than me.
"So , who's coming to pick us up ? "
"Sir Mason, I think" he replied me
My mood changed as he said those words
"Sir dan"
"Sir who ?"
"Ooh sorry , Dan, you should try giving him a chance, his sorry for what happened between him and Samuel and you know he wasn't the one that killed Mary nor did he ever want to kill you, Samuel just made that all up to get you out of the house"
"I know all that but I'm having a hard time being able to show him , how I feel , in all honesty, I'm still scared of Mason "
"Who wouldn't be , he has a cold look but hope you noticed his trying to change that towards you"
I smiled "I know , I saw that but you know, our personality can't just go away like that "
"At least his trying, unlike some who wouldn't "
I smiled and continued getting ready to live.
"Hello everyone " Mason said walking in smiling
"Good afternoon sir" Raphael greeted while I looked away like I didn'tnotice his presence nor hear his greetings.
"Good day dan" Mason waved at me
"Hey , goodday Mason " I greeted back
I've been trying to avoid Mason since I woke up from coma, for reasons I didn't know. Maybe it could be pride , not being able to face him , my dream or something else but I constantly avoided him by pretending to be sleeping when ever he came.
"Are you feeling good now " he enquired , while taking a seat beside me
"I would be in the car waiting " Raphael said walking out.
There was an awkward silence between us for a while until Mason spoke up.
"I'm sorry "
"For ?"
"For locking you up against your wheal and threatening you all this while "
"Ooh that , I have forgotten about that already "
"Maybe you have but I haven't. Seeing you almost lifeless for months gave me quite a scare , I thought I was going to loose you"
I saw tears gathering up his eyes
"It's alright Mason, I'm fine now "
"No , it's not alright, I realised it was better to have you alive and not with me than have you gone and ot shouldn't have taken me that much to time to see that"
He had shown me his vulnerable side again. With tears trickling down his cheeks, I couldn't hold myself any longer, I moved forward and hugged him , letting him cry at my shoulder , till he was done.
"If you still want to live once you are all healed up and strong, you can , I wouldn't stop you " he said once he broke the hug and cleaned up his eyes.
"Let's live in the moment for now , I see you're trying to be a good person for me and I am not letting that go"
"We would live in the moment then " he said causing us to laughed "but promise me , we would never become strangers nor enemies even if you decide to live"
"I promise " I said smiling
"Ok then, let's get going , I have a meeting to attend to and a contract to sign " he said standing up and picking up my things
We went out of the hospital with him bearing my stuffs , we got few stairs and murmurs, as people seemed to recognise him. I got kind of embarrassed and looked to see if he was but he had no such expression on his face but instead smiled at me.
We eventually got to the car and I entered the one he got into , while Raphael got into the other one.
Along the way back home we passed through the place where sammie was said to be detained.
"Is this were sammie is "
"Yes, any issues , you dont really have to worry about him"
"No , I'm not worried in the least , just want to go visit him , if you would allow"
" ok" he said ordering the driver to stop
"Should I come with you ? , I could reschedule my meeting "
"No don't, I'm alright. You could go to your meeting, Raphael would bring me back"
"Okay then" he said when I steeped out " incase there is an issue , make sure to call me"
"Yes sire " I replied making him laugh
"You have a nice laughing face " I told him causing him to blush , I smiled and closed the door.
I gave Samuel a signal to follow me , also Mason left few of his men with me.
"Hello samuel" I really wanted to bash at him for doing what he did, when I saw him coming towards me but held my self back when I recalled my dream.
I take dreams as a sign of what is to be , maybe a sort of warning and I was doing everything possible for that tragedy not to come to pass. I didn't know why he looked so lonely and wronged from what I saw but I wasn't going to give him that feeling in reality too.
"You know I thought of who would ever come to visit me , when I was called upon but you never did criss my mind, you should be dead you know"
"Yeah , I should, but i am not and neither am I here to blame you for anything "
"We both know that's a lie"
"Maybe it was a few minutes ago but now it isnt" I said giving him a pitiful look.
"Although I might not have been to you but you were once my best friend, who I loved so much"
"As if that's true?"
"Yes it is and I am so sorry that I was to concentrated in my hurt that I never took yours into concentration. Now when I look back I see how much hurting , you must have been enduring and I am so sorry " I spoke to him with tears dropping down my eyes , same as his
"Why are you being so sincere?" I laughed when he asked me that
"I would try to enquire, if I could be of any help to reduce your sentence but even if I can't , just remember that I love you , I care for you and I would be making out time to visit "
He bowed his head while shedding tears
"Ok , I would be going away now , make sure to take care of yourself " I stood up to live
"Thanks so much and I'm sorry too , maybe it's my time to reflect in here and also could I ask you to take care and love Mason for me?" He chuckled " I know I love him but what I saw between you guys was more than I had ever seen, so take care of him , he loves you to a fault and that's what made me resent "
"I love him and would take care of him "
"Thank you and bye " he said blankly and I left.
"That there was a nice speech in there , guess him being a deathroll inmate , has brought his wrongs before him " Raphael said wiping away tears from his eyes.
"Little wonder he said bye , he always believed that word was for people meant to die , bye sammy "
"When is his death date " I asked sammie
"It's indefinite as at now " he replied as we entered the car and drove off
Few minutes later we got to the house and Mason was there seemed his meeting was scheduled to be at home.
"Hello Mason " I greeted him as I entered waiting to greet his business partners who was backing me, when I got there.
"Hey , you are back"
"Yes"
"Hope no issues"
"It went well"
"So , let me introduce you guys "
"Dan this is Micheal my childhood friend and Micheal this is Dan my husband "
"Hello Micheal " I turned to shake him but froze in my tracks
It was Micheal, the Micheal from my dreams
"Nice to meet you " Micheal said taking my hands
"The pleasure is mine and sorry for the zone out"
"Ooh no worries, get alot of that when people catch a view of my son"
"Hello kelvin" I said turning towards his son who had a resemblance like kelvin
"How did you know my sons name?"
"Ooh that, Mason once mentioned you guys "
"I did ?"
"Yes you did , maybe you've forgotten "
"That how he is , never mind him"
Mason was looking confused but I didn't mind at the moment, as long as I would escape the situation with that.
'Would be going to my room now , need to rest "
"Ok the chef would bring you food up there "
"Ok " I said "and nice meeting you Mr Micheal "
"Same " he replied and I immediately walked off .
"Maybe I was right , that dream could have been my warning, I pray I don't faulter " I soliloquized walking up into my room.
