His silent wife

Episode 5

I sighed with discomfort wiggling from what it felt like a bed softly . I opened my eyes only to close them when the light penetrated making me wince for a reason .

I rubbed my eyes and looked around and frown when I saw white walls , the irritating smell of the hospital .

"How did I get in here ?" I almost asked myself but shaked my head with a gasp when I remembered the events from yesterday together with an iririttaing feeling on my nose.

God ! I am in trouble . I mumbled fearfully closing my eyes .

Just then ,  the the door opened and in came a doctor followed by mom.

"mom .."  I called her lightly bending my head , It was all my fault for not  being obidient.

I was about to stand up when the doctor pushed me on the door softly, Stay calm and don't move .you are still recovering .

I nod my head and lay on the bed trying hard not to meet my mom's gaze.

The doctor checked my vitals as mom looked at me like a hawk .

I swallowed the bitterness of my mouth down my throat only to cough.

Here have some water , the elderly man offered and I kindly chugged the whole glass down my throat .

Thank you, i mumbled shyly

He chuckled and shaked his head with amusement , it's okay .

Miss don't worry , everything will be fine , but we have to keep her for one more night  before she is released to make sure that she is alright.

He says and stood up and left the room and left me alone with mom.

M..mom ,

D.. don't , stop ! she breathed out and walked slowly and sat on my bed ,

How are you feeling ,? She asks taking me off guard and looked at my bandaged nose .

Umm .. I am okay, I whispered softly
.
Hmm I can see that, she replied eyeing me and patting my hair .

A silent formed between us when I broke it  ,

Mom, I am sorry about yesterday.  it .. it was all my fault . I nearly cried becuase mom is unpredictable and can do anything in whatever condition that I am in.

it's fine my dear .. She cooed again making me more tensed ,

" why is she being nice?" I am the one who wronged her right ?

Umm thank you , I replied .

You passed out for two days Sofia , what happened ? she asks out of nowhere ?

My eyes were wide and my mouth a gap , Two days ? Was I really that tired , ? I am pretty sure I needed that rest that's why I slept so much.

" What should I answer her ? "

I remember vividly how she mounted on my nose and slapped me for my disobedience but I can't provoke her anymore .

it's .. I . .. I am okay mom .

What happend to me ? I asked after a moment of silence .She sighed and rolled her eyes for a second and explained ,

You had a serious infection in your nose that's first and you didn't tell me , what if something hideous happened to you and your face gets damaged huh ? .. You scared the hell out of me when you were taken for surgery .

I always tell you to tell me anything that concerns you , I am your mom as I know the best for you. She lamented all the words in one breath making me muffle my sobs.
