The following morning, I was still lying down, I lied straight without shaking or moving my body, but my face was covered with smile and happiness, yet I was still in my sleep. Ask me what I was dreaming, can you believe I was already hallucinating a love triangle in my head., between me and her, did I just say her... seems I forgot to ask of her name, I was carried a way by her presence. This love in my head could be something I have to terminate, because I don't think I have what it takes to give her love. We should just be friends and future school mate, I fought myself to agree to this fact. I was still lying down, then a delicious smell of nutritious meal pass my nose, you can't believe that was what woke me up, well I guess my excuse could be, the fact that I've barely eaten any quality nutritious food for more than a day now. I woke up energized like I was about to chase for a little rat, I looked left from where the aroma was coming from, just as the water I turned my face to that direction, the old woman came out, looking at me, then she wore a huge smile in her face and yelled out "come on son, come to the dinning" I was actually very nervous, seeing how she quickly forgot how I ran out the other time we met, I was trying to find a word to define her kind gesture, well after she has yelled at me to come to the dining table for breakfast, I hold my self back, so I will not look so hungry and desperate for food, so I beat myself until I replied "oh!, I'll have to take a shower", just then she directed me to the visitors bathroom. You're a bit skeptical how I manage to hold my throat down just make the old woman notice I've got home training, well it wasn't an easy one, honestly.
After taking a shower, I quickly took the towel they kept for me, wow! My new feeling after the bath was something unexplainable, it felt like I've been carrying a weigh of bin all over me. I joined them at the table, though I was not really comfortable due to the fact that the woman's eye were all over me, well I still manage to eat even if I wasn't satisfied yet, I kept that to my self. Just as we were through with the breakfast, "Grand ma, the boy would like to discuss a few with you", the girl said, directing me to her granny,
"what is it my dear" the grandma replied turning her head towards me,
I became very naive and thoughtless, this was the same me that had a thousand question at first.
"Yea." I intuited, and pause for a while.
"I have so much on my mind ma" I said, looking disturbed.
"I know my dear, you can ask me just anything, and I'll be willing to oblige you with an answer." the old woman muttered out calmly.
I started my questioning "why was my body here, that day." I couldn't even recall the name of the particulars day, but I just knew she understood me very well.
"Trust me, I know it was a sad one for you... and I understand that it'd be necessary for me to give you a sound answer." She said yet again calmly. She continued "it was a very hot afternoon, I decided to go up town to buy some of my monthly foodstuffs, then as my driver my driving, he accidentally hit you from behind, so you became unconscious"
"No!, no!!, that's a lie, a big one." I lamented.
"There's no way I was hit by any what so ever vehicle from behind, upon what I was able to recall that day, I felt a shivering wind that left my on the ground. " I bluntly interrupted her.
But she insisted, "no, there wasn't any wind that made you loose hold of your self, behold it was actually my Vehicle."
"After I accidentally hit you, I took it upon my self to take you to the hospital for immediate treatment." She continued.
"If you really took me to any hospital, how come I woke up in your apartment" I interrupted yet again, I think I was very anxious in getting the information of what actually happened all through that time.
"I took you to the hospital at first, but I became tensed due to how reluctant and sluggish they where in handling your treatment, I decided to take you back home, so I could use the traditional method on you, after all you had no injuries, it was more of brief body pain, and lack of blood." She cleared the air for me upon explaining further in details.
Now I got to understand the whole scenario of that unfortunate occasion that occurred that whole time, my mind went back for rest. What I needed at the moment was a private time to meditate... I interrupted the silent moment as everyone at the scene was just mopping at me "for how long was I unconscious."
"You were unconscious for about four days" she replied.
I was drained out of thought, I couldn't even say any words further more, I just sat, picturing my parent in my head, a fantasy video of them playing in my head, it hard for me to even picture how worried they would be over their son, I'm sure they would have gone to the police to complain that their son is missing, they might have also gone to my school to lay a complain of their missing son, I just knew my picture and name would've been on every where outside, and I would be that y'all of my neighborhood, so sad for me.
Do you know the capacity of pain a mother feels, loosing a son, the worst part is losing a son and can't find his body. Their mind would never be at rest, they won't stop thinking of that very child that went missing. I was extremely worried, I was worried about my parent and my exam I was suppose to be writing, guesses I've missed two papers already and can't stay here any further.
