chapter14 : unexpected coincidence for tom

"Mom, what happened", "tom are you awake is everything fine dear", his mom said as she went closer to him , it was so early in the morning when tom recovered , " it's okay tom , everything is fine now" , " oh man I feel so weak and dizzy I don't know what happened" , " tom your friends saved you from drowning so deep back at the club , your friend bill rescued you but you had already fainted and the others got you here" , " but mom how did you get to know about it" , " it's a long story tom" she said .

Someone knocked at the door, "oh it could be lanna", tom's mom said, "lanna !!, tom exclaimed", " yes , what's the matter tom , and you kept it from me didn't you" , " yes mom but I was willing to tell you" , " we'll talk about this later right" , she said as she moved to the door , and opened .

Unfortunately it was the doctor , he came to check on tom , " good morning MRS Garcia , oh I see now he's awake , it didn't take long , oh well he's a lucky one , others have to stay for more than a week" , " yes doctor I was surprised too , it's like a miracle" , " I think he'll be good to go in no time and he can proceed his normal life" the doctor said as he approached tom to check on his body status . "So MRS Garcia I think I'll be going , got more work to do" , the doctor said as he went out .

" tom I really want to know about what happened at the beach , and how did you fall into that accident" , " mom I was going through a lot that time, I ran into a giant wave and I remember nothing but a face grabbing me and that's all , I think I fainted then" , " tom please tell me all that bothers you I'm here to help you in all , you were dragged into a lot and forgot all about and forgot all about yourself" , " what's bothering you tom ? I want to know" , " it's okay mom I promise" , " tom you have been keeping many things for me and I don't like it you know" come on mom I can't hide anything from you" , " and how could you keep lanna from me" ,

" And that's the only thing I've hidden from you but I was willing to" , " now I've got you tom didn't I" , " and it's the only time I kept something from you since I went to merry hill but Mom I'm sorry I didn't tell you about lanna , but I wasn't hiding it from you it's just that I kind of took it less serious" , " tom lanna is the sweetest girl I've ever met she's more than kind and polite" , " and about that mom , you told me earlier , lanna had been here for some time right" , " tom you couldn't believe how he's been caring for you since yesterday , and if she wasn't here your case could be even worse , she stayed here with me last night the others had went back home , but lanna stayed , and when your heart rate fell , she's the one who called the doctor.

Tom stayed quiet after her mom said , not even a mumble came out , he got into a deep thought , " tom is everything alright" , " yes mom , but I wonder, how could she be so friendly to me after all I've done" , " what did you do" , " it's another thing I kept from you mom" , " guess I caught you again" , " mom I'm sorry but things haven't been going well between lanna and I if only I could change what I've did"

Tom's mom went closer to him and placed her arm on his shoulder , " tom we do mistakes at times , but don't blame yourself for that" mom I think it'll be good if I made things right before it's too late" tom said and removed the blanket off , he tried to walk but was so weak , " tom don't push yourself , you're still weak and haven't gained you strength may be you'll do that another day tom" , he stayed calm after his mom said and sat on the bed .

Some one knocked on the door again , " now what we're in some private stuff right now" , " tom !! don't say like that" her mom said and went to open the door , she was surprised to see who it was , it was lanna , " oh lanna you came back" , tom was shocked upon hearing lanna's name . "MRS Garcia I had to keep my promise" , " come in" tom's mom said . Tom's heart pounded harder now , as lanna stepped into the room , tom couldn't even look behind to glance at her . lanna was surprised to see tom sitting on the bed , tom stood up and looked back .

" MRS Garcia I think I've got to go , I've been a bit late , but I'm happy he's recovered at least , so I guess that's all" , " lanna wait" , " tom said as lanna shut the door she went without a word to tom , " wow , that was quick , I didn't expect such a short visit" , " mom this was a chance I got but I think I scrambled it up" , " oh tom , step out of it you're being so hard on your self there is always another chance to make things right" , " mom I think she heard what I said and got pissed off does she think I still don't care about her like she does" , " don't overthink it tom , the way I saw lanna , she's a good hearted girl she'll never do something like that , just relax you'll have time to make things right" , he said to her mom , and placed his head on her mom , and cried" , " I keep on screwing things up , I don't think I'll get another chance" , " come on tom everyone deserves a second chance just calm down everything will be alright it's just a matter of time" .

Lanna came to tom's mind more than anything , he couldn't stop thinking of how he'll make things right with lanna after all he had started up the team tended to show more love than he tried to avoid them . Hour after hour he waited until he regained his energy for the first time since he drowned tom was able to walk , he probably would be able to return home , the doctor came inside the room and had a few check up on tom .

" MRS Garcia I would like to talk to you" the doctor said as he entered the room , tom's mom followed him outside . " what's the matter" , " MRS Garcia , I think the time has come tom can finally get back home and go back to his normal life , it's been two days now , I think it's less compared to others , he's lucky by the way , I wonder what he's interested in ?" , " oh he's just interested in surfing , and unfortunately he drowned due to that , but it was an accident , he normally does it well" , " oh , that's good , hope he'll do more than you expected from him , so I'll leave you by then , I got more to do as usual , " okay farewell doctor" .

" what was it mom , hope it's good news" , " well guessed tom , it's definitely good news" , " so what is it" , " tom today we're moving out , isn't it good" , " we'll it's good at least I'll get time to make things right" , " okay and I can finally get back to work and off hospital food , I really hate it" , " mom does dad know about what happened ?" , " I didn't tell him so maybe he doesn't know , why do you ask?" , " it's just that he'll be mad , he didn't want me to end up in cases like this since I started surfing , and if he knew about it he could probably stop me from pursuing and it could be way too bad" , " tom don't worry I think I could try to hide it just for your sake , but I think miley would because she talks to your dad as well as we do so if anything happens he could know , but don't worry he's still at work" , " thanks mom , I promise to never let you down".

Arriving home nothing changed all maids working as usual they all welcomed tom and his mom as if they were from vacation but no one knew what really happened. Tom went to his room and sat on his bed, he tried to call lanna, but she couldn't pick up , he went into the window and looked outside , he looked at the sky and nodded his head . Some one rang the door bell , tom went out of his room , he went to see who it was , he was shocked to see who it was , " hello tom" , he said , tom couldn't believe his eyes , it was his dad .

Unexpectedly arriving, tom's dad appeared to his eyes he went to greet him but his heart troubled him , he thought his dad was on to discovering what happened to him .
