The first drop of rain
Annie stood frozen outside the doctor's office, her breath shallow. She tries to repeat what she had just heard the doctor say, but she just couldn't come to terms with it. It was so hard to comprehend.One donor, Two organs, what sort of miracle will that take? She asked rhetorically. That would probably take God himself to come down and take care of it.She turned and raced back to the room, her mind spinning. But when she stepped in, she stopped short.Was she seeing right, or was she imagining it all. From what she could see. Alexander's eyes were still closed, the same way she had left her, nothing has changed, but one thing she was sure changed was her fingers that were now curling slightly into her palm. It was slow, uncertain, but it was surely real. Annie rushed to her side, took her hand again, and this time, she was glad that it wasn't limp. Alexander reacted by folding her fingers against that of her friend. While holding her, Annie noticed that, there was faint warmth. W
Alexander between here and there
Alexander, seem.to be travelling or was it swimming in a deep ocean. It was neither light nor dark, as she got off the ocean and stood by the shore, staring into the water. Around her was just grey. It was endless, silence grey. The kind of silence that wraps around your skin, like most and settles into your bones.She started moving, but she knows not where she was heading."Am I dead? She asked herself, looking around to see if anyone was around to answer her, but she was all alone. She was by herself. Then she remembered she was pregnant, she touched her stomach to be sure, her baby was still in there, but she could feel nothing.She start d panting heavily as she turned in a slow circle, her bare feet touching nothing and everything at once. There was no ground, no wind, no scent. Only the thick, heavy air and the echo if her own breath. If it was breath at all.She couldn't tell how long she had been in this place, she couldn't even place the place. She knows not where she is, an
Forgiveness
After Ryan got out of prison, and had made peace with himself, he made up his mind to forgive Damien, it was the hardest thing for him to do, but he still did it, or maybe he didn't, because telling himself that he firgave Damien in his absence was different from actually forgiving someone that never asked for forgiveness and may never ask, still he made himself believe that for the love he has for Alexander, he has forgiven Damien for indirectly, killing his father. Apart from forgiving Damien Brick, Ryan, also needed Alexander to be at peace with him. If only he could just hear her say it, it would be the happiest day of his life. He isn't asking for much, just to have her forgive him, would mean the entire world to him. He started searching frantically for Alexander, at least to know how she was fairing. asking for forgiveness, would be secondary.He searched everywhere, he was losing his mind, just searching for her in her favorite spots, her favorite shopping plaza, the off
The black out
Ryan wanted to go home, but he finds himself transfixed, unable to move an inch, it felt like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulder. What sort of a world are we living in? You are with someone special this one minute, and in the next minute, you are not able to explain what happened to the person. You look around and the person is gone. Ryan couldn't help but wonder if just as he had lost his father when he wasn't around to at least say his last words to him and maybe hear him out if he had any last wishes. He wasn't even around to try and save him, if there was anything he could do at all. Now he was standing, and looking at the hospital. He could see the way ambulance kept coming and going, it seem sicknesses and accident have become a daily activity.The cab driver demanded for his pay, since he asked that they leave the area, but Ryan didn't seem like he was willing to leave. He was paid, and he drove off, but Ryan didn't move, he only find himself a rock around
"I can't remain strong
The silence in the hospital corridor was louder than any sound Damien had ever known. Though everywhere was quiet as a grave yard, he could hear everyone's heart beat, sounding so loud, as though he was in the club house. He could even read everyone's mind, and he could see their judging eyes as he pass by.Some are saying God is punishing him for his sins against his wife, but why not punish him and leave his daughter alone. She has the purest soul, anyone could ask of. As he moves, he had to hold his heart, because, even the sound of his heartbeat could be heard, even by others.He found a bench and without thinking, or looking to be sure, he was landing safely, he dropped on the bench. He sat motionless on the cold bench outside the diagnostics lab, his fingers interlocked, eyes fixed on the floor, barely blinking, anytime he blinks, a tear drops to the floor. A wet reminder of how heavy his heart was. His only thoughts were his little girl. His daughter lying unconscious just t
do you know what her battles are right now?
Before his discharge from the hospital, Ryan tries to see if he could see that nurse that was almost telling him everything, that nurse would have been his best bet, to finding out the true situation with Alexander, else, he might have no choice, than to meet with Damien face to face and out of annoyance he might spill, but sadly, the special nurse he was waiting for, never came back to attend to him. Not like he stayed there for days, it was just the morning of the next day, maybe if he had waited longer, he may have seen her, but he didn't, there was no need to.The nurse, that came to attend to him, before he was told that he could go home was a very mean nurse, who didn't want to listen to anything he has got to say, just because she recognized him from the pictures, the newspapers and the television news, she judged him from there. He didn't blame her much, because, even he had read the news about him and the messages are gruesome, that he hates himself already, let alone, someon
You are a great man indeed
Ryan found himself back at the hospital, this time, he was lucky to be attended to by the kind nurse.He didn't want anyone to know why he had come, and since he was told that the doctor was in the theatre, attending to a patient, he decided to hang around, with the help of the nice nurse, who seem to be crushing on him."How are you feeling now? She asked, as she walked him around, and Ryan stopped outside Alexander's door.The machines in the room beeped in an eerie rhythm. Alexander lay still, her once radiant face now pale and sunken. The doctors spoke in hushed tones just outside the ICU, casting furtive glances into the room. Every few minutes her condition worsened overnight. The doctors said her body was shutting down faster than they had anticipated.Ryan could see everything happening inside, as he stood beyond the glass, eyes bloodshot and heavy with unshed tears. He had spent his days blaming himself, wondering if maybe, just maybe, if he had said the truth, when he shoul
The unseen saviour
Ryan was kept in a special room, everything that needed to be checked was checked, drips started going into his body almost immediately, they didn't seem to want to waste time."You don't know what you have done for that young girl. It will be a miracle though, if her baby survives, but I guess, saving her life, is very important to everyone, even to the baby, she hasn't met". The doctor says, as he kept examining him, and injecting him, when necessary, also, his blood pressure was checked like every other minute that he started to wonder, if they were sure, when they said he was a perfect match."If the baby survives, that would mean a lot to me". he confesses."I would like that too, but right now, she is really weak, and her weakness, seem to have also awaken the baby, but if the Lord pleases, the baby will survive, just the way he brought you, he will also send the baby strength from above". That sounded like a relief, because he was now sure, that they would do everything in thei
The donor might lose his sight
It all seem like a very beautiful dream for me Damien Brick and Annie, everything seem to be happening so fast, yet they know not whom this person is. knowing him, didn't seem so important at the time, they know, they will see him or hear from him soon, maybe he will demand for money later. The believe is that, no one would sacrifice so much and not want even a thank you, but just as the doctor have asked of them, they should be praying for a successful surgery, and that was all their interest at the time. Annie had her palms joined together in prayer. It all turns out that whenever she prays and asks God to show her a sign of his existence, something always happens. She was begining to have more faith in this God, than she is willing to admit to herself, but if she asks and something happens, then, she doesn't mind.She watch as Damien went down on his knees and started to pray to a God he never really believed in, a God he never calls or thank. Situation does bring out the best or t
successful surgery
Annie was not ready to accept that someone would do something so great, something so huge and not want even a simple Thank you She knows that if Damien wants to find out, with his wealth and position, he will, but he seem to just accept what the doctor says, without trying."Are we just gonna accept that the donor doesn't want to be known? She confronts him with the question, that seem to be overlooked."He doesn't want to be known dear, I like to respect wishes, I know someday, I will have the chance to repay him, and I will, but right now, we have a duty to take care of Alexander and see her through this healing period, also making sure, that Ryan, comes no where close to her". Annie winced her eyes confused. This is the second time he was mentioning Ryan. To her, Ryan is a forgotten issue, and if he ever comes close to Alexander, she herself, would send him to his early grave. "Even though Alexander was suffering before now, Ryan was the one that aggravated the whole thing, causin
