I turned my head to the right and my eyes spotted Yana sitting on a chair with her head down in her palms.I tried to move,but my back hurt like hell and so I groaned giving up.
Yana raised her head slowly and as my sleepy eyes and her watery eyes met,she immediately stood up and approached the bed leaning on and looking down at me happy,but at the same sad and tired.
"You're alive."Were her first words in a whisper tone,I frowned and asked confusedly"What happened?"Her lip quivered a bit while still watching me with happy eyes
She gulped and started explaining"You were in an accident...but thank God you survived."
I tried to remember,but it was hard.
"Someone crashed with a car in the restaurant where you and..."She couldn't end the sentence and I didn't know why.
Suddenly she closed her eyes and tears ran down her cheeks while she stood up properly.
"Yana...what's wrong?"I asked worriedly trying to stand up to sit on the bed which made my back hurt like hell,but that didn't matter anymore,because Yana's tears would always bring me the most pain.
She opened her eyes and told me crying"My father died!"My eyes widened hearing it and suddenly I remembered that I was at the restaurant with him and I saw a bright light coming toward us.
Yana stood there continued crying.
"Hey,it's alright,calm down please...I'm here now."I tried to console her and dragging her to me so she can sit down on the bed edge while my right arm got wrapped around her.
I pulled gently her hair behind her ear and placed my lips on her warm temple mumbling"Please calm down,please calm down for V."
We stayed like that for a few moments until she watched me in the eyes and sniffed trying to wipe her tears with her black turtleneck blouse sleeve.
"Where's V?"I asked trying to sweet the situation a bit."She's with mom.She and I took turns who takes care of her since you got in the coma."Yana replied sobbing,I nodded.
"How long have I been unconscious?"I wanted to know,"For three days."Yana responded and took a deep breath.
"You and dad were brought in the hospital at the same time,but he died a few hours later,because he lost too much blood and his body couldn't fight anymore since he was old."Yana explained and placed her head on my shoulder and then silence stroke between us.
"I'm sorry!"I apologized sincerely,Yana raised her head from my shoulder and watched me,"For what I said and the way I acted that day."I added meaning it."It's alright!"She assured me showing a forced smile.
