Chapter 2 - A Promise

''kaly'' 

 my eyes fluttered as the opened . it took some time but my eyes where able to adjust to the light. 

i felt pain in my lower body in trying to get up. i managed to scan my environment , i found myself in a hospital bed. 'so this is a hospital, how did i even managed to get here''

i tried getting up on the bed but i felt more pain than earlier. i scanned my environment and i saw hazel nut haired boy , who had his head on my lap sleeping.

''umm, excuse me but could you ge-'' i tried to be polite but before i could continue the boy woke up and his eyes met mine.

''luke?''i recognize those innocent green eyes anywhere. 

'kh- kharis, thank God you are awake. I WAS SO SCARED'' . he hugged me while he shouted and cried simultaneously , well maybe he shouted too loud which attracted nurses to the room.

''whats going on '' the the darked skinned female nurse said

''Is it king-kong '' the male nurse said dramatically

''no king-kong here, only me'' i said nervously scratching my head while luke was still crying on me.

''seriously Aniel, king-kong''the female nurse with her hand on her hip

 ''maybe i was a little exaggerating'' he said, ''a little he says'' the female nurse said as she approached luke and me .

''luke you shouldn't be shouting like that in a hospital you get someone a heart attack'' she said

''not me, am prepared for any situation'' the male nurse said while throwing his fist in the air. '' wow really, says the guy who thought king -kong has arised'' she said annoyed

''i am really sorry i didn't mean to cause any trouble'' luke said 

''umm luke you can stop hugging me now'' i said ,''oh , sorry i didn't know '' he said so innocently. '' i guess you recovering quickly'' the female nurse said to me. '' yeah i guess so,''i said looking down at my hands, because i wondered how i even got here. 

my train of thoughts were soon interrupted. '' my name is olive'' she said '' and that's aniel'' she pointed at the male nurse

'' i'm kharis'' i said . ''well kharis , if need anything you who to call'' she said with a big smile.

'' umm , i was wondering but how long have i been here''i said worried and somehow the tension in the room became strong. 'did i say something wrong' i thought , but the luke spoke up .

'' one and a half month'' he said . immediately those words escape his mouth. my eyes widened and my mouth was left wide open. 

''WHAAAATTTT, ONE MONTH'' I shouted and looked at the nurses. 

''and half , i think you missed that part'' aniel said while olive was glaring at him.

''you told me that i am recovering quickly'' '' this is your definition for quickly, really'' i said still shouting.

'' now i understand why luke was crying on me like i was about to die''i said and turned to luke who still looked traumatized. 'poor luke' i thought

''kharis calm down, you should understand'' olive said

''no i cant calm down and there is nothing to understand i-''i said but then luke held my hand.

'' you have to believe it , when you were first administered into the hospital, you were in a horrible state i thought you were dead''

''kharis i know this hard for you but-''

''kaly?'' i interrupted olive. '' wait where is kaly''i questioned but everyone was quiet

''whose kaly'' olive asked ''my sister''i said

''wait don't tell me she's dead''i said concerned

''no she's not , the fact is that we don't know where she is , like she -she's missing'' luke said .

''missing'' that word continuously echoed in my head,

soon my head felt heavy and i had flashbacks of everything that happened to the time i woke up in the hospital . i felt nauseous and felt something moving up my throat, i held my mouth and quickly rushed to the entrance of the room where the was a bin, and puked inside. 

'' kharis are you okay ''luke was concerned

'' you need to calm down , your body is not done healing'' olive said

''i remember'' i said with holding the bin in my hand ''i remember the night where kaly was taken by a certain someone and when tried to protect her i got hit in my stomach which sent me flying.'' i narrated while i held my stomach

''i'm pretty sure that's why my recovery is so long'' i said tearing up . my sis was taking away from me and i couldn't do anything,'' i clenched my fist tight

i turned to luke . '' luke this is promise, i am going to bring kaly back no matter the cost.''
