Another Dimension

Chapter 24- Amelioration

"I am sorry Maya; I am very sorry for the way we treated you all those years. We were having a hugely hard time and it doesn't make up for what we did to you. I am sorry darling, please wake up.", was the second thing that I heard. And why did that voice feel so familiar I wondered. I want to ask. I want to see it. But my body felt so tiring.

Slowly I started opening my eyes. Slow and steady. Taking all the world's time. The room that I was inside felt a bit cold but there was a little tinge of warmth. I shuffled a bit so that I can get up to see who it was. A very old lady was sleeping with her head on her arms on the bed and sitting on the chair. Her hands had wrinkles all over due to long years of responsibility. This woman is someone who I will never forget or give up on even after all she did. My mother. "Mom.", I called out as loud as I can because I felt something choking my voice. I don't know what it was. My mom got up from my voice with tears falling from her eyes. By seeing her cry, I started to cry as well.

Later my dad and my siblings came in all looked so worn out. My dad lost some weight and my mom looked very tired. I felt so bad. My sister and my brother came and gave me a big hug.

"What happened to me? Why are we in a hospital?", I asked after all the commotion died out. My mom approached me by putting her hand on my head. "You were in a coma for two months." I was shocked. Two months. How much have I missed? "The next day when your dad was waking you up, you didn't respond. We noticed a lot of sweat all over you and we panicked. So, we rushed to the hospital. Due to repeated nightmare traumas, you were hospitalized. We waited for you to wake up and you finally woke up after two months."

I was completely shocked when I heard that. That's when another dimension came into my mind. The camp. My friends. Lucas. I wonder what happened to all of them.

If I came back that means they all came back. That's what the keeper said. But I didn't get the chance to give a proper goodbye. Or a way to meet in this world.

I was distracted by my thoughts about another dimension and that's when I heard a knock from the door. "May I come in to see-" She saw me awake and let out a sob and rushed inside a gave me a hug. "Maya, how are you? You didn't get hurt did you?" "I am fine Alisha. I am not hurt at all. I had a good amount of sleep." And I let out a smile. The last person I expected to meet as I reached home. "Did anyone else come while I was in a coma?" Alisha shuffled a bit and put her head down. I understood why. Guess those two aren't close with me as I thought.

The next day I was discharged after all the medical checkups and the doctors 'Your good to go.' I went out and sat at the reception with my siblings while we were waiting for my parents. Then a guy who looked almost twenty came and sat next to me. I looked and saw him, and I was surprised to see him. "Elijah? You came back? How are you?" Elijah smiled very brightly. This time he looked very energetic and was rocking with his doctor's coat. "I am fine. I can't believe that I am back here as a doctor. I woke up in my bed with my full family surrounded. They were so happy to see me awake. And then my mom showed me my medical certificate and my approval to work in this hospital." It was very nice to see him back. "Do you have contact with the others?", I asked impatiently. "I don't." "Ah, that's all right."

My last bit of hope got completely crashed.

A weak passed after I came back. My home looked the same as it was. My routines were my usual.

When I went to school, my last academic year, I wanted to meet my best friends, but I froze when I heard them. They were talking about me. I went closer and hid behind the pillar they were talking next to. "I hope Maya never wakes up.", I heard it from Lime. That felt very sour to hear. "Me two. I mean that girl is so silent and lets anyone shout or do anything to her. So damn weak." I was completely frozen. I can't let it go.

But for some reason, I want to let it go and I did something that I had never done in my entire life. "Well too bad she woke up and she is kicking in life.", I said, and both were surprised to see me standing right in front of them.

Days went and months flew then a year got over and I finally graduated from high school and entered a very good university.

The days were very hard and rough. The path I took was something rare and it was not trodden black at all. But it did lead me to a wonderful future.
