I sit in the hospital waiting room, my leg bouncing. The doctors had told me to wait outside, no one telling me what was going on. After hours of waiting, a doctor finally came out to talk to me.
"Hello sir, we thank you for your patience. Your fiancé seems to have appendicitis, and his appendix burst. He is okay now, we've done surgery. You should be able to go see him now."
A flood of relief washes over me, and I stand up, following the doctor to Derek's room. I sigh in relief when I see him sleeping on the bed.
"I'll leave you two be." The doctor says, closing the door so I'm alone in the room with him.
"I'm so glad you're okay." I say to his sleeping form, sitting in a chair next to him.
After a few hours, Derek woke up, still drowsy from the medication.
"Malaki." He smiles when he sees me, and I return the smile. "What happened?"
"You had appendicitis, they had to do surgery to remove everything." I say, taking his hand and squeezing it.
"I'm sorry for scaring you." He whispers, looking into my eyes.
"Don't be sorry, I'm just happy you're okay."
"I'm more than okay, I have you by my side, I'm doing great."
