Her hands flew and slapped me across my face "Out of all people why him/her? How could you do that? Why did you do that?" My mother in law shouted
I am confused, I don't know the reason, I cannot understand this situation. I don't have any clue why she slapped me, what was the reason? She furiously left my room. And until now, I cannot really understand everything that's going on. I can't even understand why I was here in this room, in a hospital in the first place. I cannot remember anything, i do not have any idea of what was going on, I am clueless
"Isabelle." I looked at the door when someone called my name. It was my father, he's with my brother Evan.
"You're awake! Are you okay? Do you remember everything?" Evan asked nervously.
I nodded my head but I was confused. The only thing I can remember is how Ethan and I planned to meet hours ago.
"Where's Ethan? We're supposed to meet hours ago." I curiously ask.
My father and Evan look away. They did not answer my question and called a doctor to check me out. Minutes have passed, my doctor came.
"Isabelle, I'm Doctor Grey. How's your feeling?" She checked my body.
"What happened to me doc? Why am I here? I asked
"You seem fine. You have a temporary amnesia because of what happened to you but you can recover it soon. You've been sleeping for almost a week since you got in a car accident. Any question?" she said
"Wha-" My father suddenly stopped me from asking my doctor.
"Thank you, Doctor Grey. Let's talk." He said
Doctor Grey left my room with my father. I was left dumbfounded about what my father did.
I stare at him and I know that there's a lot of things they haven't told me about my situation. I tried to remember why Ethan's mother slapped me in the first place. I wonder what I did and I wonder where Ethan is.
"Isabelle, I have something to tell you." The day you were in a car accident, you were supposed to meet Ethan right? He was in a car accident too. Ethan was hit by another car." Evan said.
"What do you mean.?" I asked nervously.
"He died, Isabelle. The person who owned the car, the person who hit Ethan was you. He was dead on arrival. I'm so sorry." He says crying.
I can't move. I can't feel my body. I cried silently, Evan tried to hug me but I pushed him away. Now, I know what happened. I can't believe it. We were supposed to be married this year. We were supposed to build a family together.
--
I was walking wearing a black dress, holding a flower and hiding behind trees. I want to visit his mother. I want to apologize to what happened to Ethan. I silently watched how the funeral began and to end. There's a lot of people who attended, but I was not there. I was afraid to accept that he was gone.
I came towards his funeral after people left. I stared at those lines in his grave. " In Loving Memory of Ethan Smith, (1992 - 2016)."
I touched my belly and said " I'm so sorry Ethan. Maybe, if I haven't forced you to meet me, this will not happen. I'm so sorry. I promise that I will love our baby like how you loved me."
The End.
