Love in Darkness

Chapter 46: Decision

Magnus is in a private room where his wife is. Selena is laying on the hospital bed, unconscious. Magnus is sitting beside the bed while holding Selena's hand. Since the doctors transfer Selena into the room, Magnus has been staring at his wife. While staring at her, Magnus' heart hurts. "This is all my fault. We would have been happy if I had accepted your pregnancy right away.", he mutters to himself while holding her hand and putting it on his forehead. "I am so sorry, Selena. You have suffered so much because of my cowardice.". Magnus' eyes start to tear up and the more he thinks about the good possibilities if he had not acted like a jerk, tears are flowing down his eyes.

Because of tiredness, Magnus slowly has fallen asleep. His head is on the side of Selena and he is still holding his wife's hand. Selena, on the other hand, starts to be awakened. Her eyes slowly open and looks around her. Selena wants to get up and that is when she feels her hand. She looks on her side and sees her husband sleeping. She decides not to get up and lays still on the bed. Minutes later, she feels uncomfortable about Magnus holding her hand so she slowly pulls her hand out of his grip. Magnus slightly moves but did not wake up. Selena successfully takes her hand. She then gets out of bed and out of the room. She goes into a hallway where the windows are made of glass and are big. She sits on the bench and gazes outside. It is one in the morning so the surroundings are very quiet. Selena enjoys the lights in the dark she is seeing through the window.

While gazing outside the window, Selena feels sleepy so she decides to go back to her private room. As she enters, she sees that Magnus is still sleeping. She approaches the bed and carefully lays on it. She quietly moves herself to have a comfortable position. She looks at Magnus and unconsciously moves her hand to touch his hair but she snaps out of it and withdraws her hand. Selena turns around to face the other side and drifts off to sleep.

It is six in the morning when Magnus wakes up. He is awakened by the sound of his phone's ringtone. He takes his phone out of his pocket and looks at who is the caller calling early in the morning. When he sees that it is his grandmother calling, his annoyance immediately disappears. He clicks the answer button and greets Miss Luna, "Hey, Nana. How are you?". Magnus listens to his grandmother's long talk. "Alright, Nana. All you just said is noted. We will be waiting here for you. Selena is not awake yet so you still have time.". Magnus is still feeling sleepy but because of his grandmother's long speech, all of the sleepiness left his body. "Yes, Nana. Goodbye. See you later.".

Magnus puts his phone back in his pocket while yawning. His back and arms are hurting from sleeping on the side of the bed while sitting on a chair. So he stands up and decides to lay on the couch. As he stands up, he notices Selena's position in the bed. He had not noticed it before because he is sleepy. He is happy because it would mean that his wife woke up last night. "Thank God you are okay.", he mutters to himself. Magnus then goes to the couch and lays on it. As soon as he lies down, his body feels comfortable and instantly has fallen asleep.

An hour later, Miss Luna arrives at the hospital. She immediately looks for the room number. After taking turns, she arrives at the private room. She slowly opens the door and sees that both Magnus and Selena are sleeping. Not wanting to wake them up. Miss Luna sneakily enters and walks towards the table by the window. She then takes out of the lunch boxes in a big bag she brought. She arranges it all and one by one opens it. She wants the scent of the food to spread in the room so that Magnus and Selena will be willing to wake up and eat.

Minutes later, Miss Luna can hear the just-woke-up sound from Magnus and Selena. She smiles and mutters to herself, "How about that? It worked". She then speaks to them softly, "Wake up, you two. It is time to eat.". Surprisingly, Selena is the first one to get out of bed and approaches the table. She did not say anything to Miss Luna and just start eating. Miss Luna is shocked. She wants to ask but she refrains herself. Seeing Selena eating so well, Miss Luna's eyes begin to tear up. "I miss this.", she thought to herself.
