Beauty and I discussed at length about work and how my mother was faring. She wished my mother quick recovery and we went to have breakfast tomorrow since we were both famished. When it was evening, Beauty left me at the hospital and I went to visit my mother and a doctor approached me and said that she was responding to treatment and she would recover soon.
With peace and rest of mind in Beauty's words, I slept soundly that night. The next day in the mid-hours, Beauty came with a bouquet with a guy, a good looking one though. We exchanged pleasantries and we went to have coffee. She introduced the guy with her as her boyfriend. I was in awe and shocked to hear this from her. My countenance changed but I somehow managed to hide this feeling. I actually was already in love with her and hoping to tell her that day about my feelings for her, only for this dramatic scene to unfold that day.
That same day, I returned to the hospital in the evening since I had to go home to freshen up. I was asked to go to see the doctor in her office and this really bothered me. It was Jessica that I saw in the office that day and she had two meals on her table. She told me that my mother was recovering pretty quick and that my mother was lucky to have me as her son. I told her thank you and she asked me to eat with her, that this was the only way that she could forgive herself for the ungrateful act which she put up that day. We ate and after our meal, she asked me why I actually waited with her when she was in coma at the hospital for so long. I really did not know how to reply this but I told her that I had a similar condition several years ago and it was the care of my parents that helped me to come around.
I left her office with some affection for her rather than hate after hearing her speak about the accident that landed her in coma. That day, I just thought about the conflicting things which had happened that day. I went home that night and came back to the hospital the next morning. I sat down beside my mum with music playing and holding her hands just as I had done with Jessica. Someone came in and said hi to me. I looked up and I saw life from a perspective that I had never seen before. It was Jessica, she was dazzling, looking like a super model that I only saw in the movies, she was not in her medical overall this time. She was wearing a black gown with her hair well packed and her fragrance was already in the atmosphere before I even noticed.
I replied her by saying hi too. She smiled and asked me if I did not mind having breakfast with her. I smiled and asked her, "Hope it is not in your office this time?" she replied saying, "Even the doctors have some days off, let us proceed". It was fun going out for breakfast with a doctor. As we walked through the hospital premises, the nurses smiled and the doctors did the same. I was just surprised on how sudden this change was.
When we got to the restaurant, we smiled at each other and I just gazed at her endlessly. She was a pretty girl with such a beautiful voice. I looked at her wrist and noticed the wrist watch that I had bought for her still on her wrist. She caught my gaze and simply said that she loved the wrist watch. I smiled back in response and we had our meal. I asked her why she replied me angrily the other time at the restaurant and she explained to me that she had always found it difficult to deal with guys since her last heart break. She spoke out of hurt and I really felt her pain. I refused to pester her for more information and little by little, we were becoming closer.
Mother was already opening her eyes and she spoke to me gently. Jessica and I were having something brewing between us but I really did not want it to escalate considering what I had with Beauty.
Mother was already very okay and she was released from the hospital and I was back to work again. It has been four weeks since I have heard from Beauty and I don't want to call her since she already has a boyfriend. Jessica and I have not spoken since mother left the hospital.
It was a Friday and I decided to call Jessica, it was last week since we spoke in person. I really have missed her dazzling eyes and her glamorous looks. We talked for about thirty minutes and lots of smiles popped up on my cheeks. She was laughing excessively over the phone and this made me laugh too. We decided to meet over dinner that day since we were both free at that time.
