Chapter 3: Mysterious voice
"The doctor said you can be discharged today"
"I need to get your medications now but I'll be right back, okay?"
Jacob said to Angel before he left the room.
There was no one else with her in the hospital room and it was only her bed that was present there. The place looked luxurious and beautiful but she didn't care about all that. All she could think about was her dead husband.
Then memories came flooding in, memories of when her and Jason used to be together, memories of their wedding day, everything came flashing back….
Angel was so emotional that she burst into tears. Remembering Jason's death was causing her a serious headache.
"Your husband is dead, just end your life", was all she could hear. It kept ringing in her head over and over again. She covered her ears with her palms but she could still hear the voice.
Put an end to your life Angel, kill yourself
Was chiming in her ears.
Now it was faster and in echo. It was becoming unbearable that she forcefully removed the drip from her wrist then blood came gushing out.
"If I can't have you back Jason. At least let me die along with you"
Angel said desperately while crying as she climbed out of the bed.
Angel had no other choice than to give in to the voice. She developed a sudden urge to kill herself but she didn't want to do it in the hospital, she had to get home quick.
She spotted a car key on the table so she assumed it must be Jacob's. She felt weak as she walked to pick up the car keys. She pushed open the door and walked lifelessly through it. "Isn't that a patient?"
A doctor asked as she pointed at Angel who walked down the hallway.
"Yes but where is she going?"
A nurse replied but Angel just continued walking.
"Madam, madam"
"Madam"
"Where are you going?"
Some nurses called as they went after her. Angel didn't stop for a minute; she didn't even look back at them till she reached outside of the hospital. She couldn't identify Jacob's car out of all that was parked outside. So she pushed the open button on the car key palette then listened for the beep. She heard two consecutive beeps from a car then quickly walked towards it. She inserted the key into the hole and then it opened.
Angel quickly entered into the car and sped home.
[OUTSIDE ANGEL'S HOUSE]
"Open the gate!"
"Open this damn gate!!!"
Angel yelled angrily as she knocked loudly on the gate.
"Arrgh", Angel groaned in frustration as she covered her ears tightly with her palms.
"Go into your house and kill yourself"
The voice said repeatedly. Now it was really loud as if someone said it next to her.
"Who said that? Who are you?"
Angel asked scared as she looked around.
"I'm you, Angel. I'm inside you. Just kill yourself, you can't further live with this depression"
The voice said calmly and softly.
"Just leave me please. Stay away from me" Angel begged as she cried.
"Oh madam, you're back from the hospital", The security guard said but Angel quickly entered into the house then closed the gate with her chest rising and falling.
"You can't run from me, Kill yourself"
The voice was ringing very loudly in her ears. The security guard noticed that she looked frightened and uneasy so he asked;
"Madam, is everything alright?"
"Can you hear a voice?", Angel asked the security guard desperately but he shook his head in a negative response since he had no clue of what she said.
