,,The time has stopped"
The life of 17-year-old Eliza is perfect. Loving boyfriend, great relationships with family and friends, a group of trusted friends whom you can confide in everything ... everything was wonderful, until ... One Thursday, Eliza and her boyfriend Michał made an appointment to go to the park. Michał was always punctual, at least when it came to their meetings. Ba! He was always a few minutes ahead of schedule. And today? He was already half an hour late. But I was reassured by the thought that it was just before 4pm. And as everyone knows, there are big traffic jams at 4pm, so maybe he's just stuck in one of them. Suddenly something happened and my world will never be the same again. My phone started vibrating, and at first I didn't know what the number was and I thought it was just a mistake, but when I answered my life became one big nightmare. It started innocently, because in the handset I heard: - Good morning, am I talking to Mrs. Eliza Stankiewicz? The woman said, "Yes," I replied in a curious voice. "I have to tell you about something that happened," she replied. - Yes? I responded with growing concern. - Sorry? And who am I even talking to?” I added after a moment, wanting to know the answer to that question. - Receptionist from the "GOOD HOSPITAL" hospital in Warsaw. When I heard this, I was really stuffy, hot, I couldn't catch my breath. I thought my heart had stopped. The lady at the front desk clearly sensed this. "Are you all right, Mrs. Eliza?" She asked concerned about my reaction to the word "hospital". "Y-yes..." I replied in a broken voice. "What happened?" Kowalczyk, he had an accident. My previous reaction was nothing compared to this. I thought time had stopped... The reception lady was saying something to me, but I stood frozen, trembling with fright, not giving any reaction at all her words. The rest of the receptionist's words didn't reach me anymore. I was like in a trance that I didn't want to be in. - Can you come to the hospital?Your boyfriend's parents are already here. They asked me to inform you about what happened. -Y-yes... of course. And how is Michael...? - I asked nervously. - I'm about to have a very difficult and serious operation, he's unconscious - I burst into tears at these words, what happened?!, how?!, Damn how!?!? I asked myself these questions without knowing the answers. Fact, I haven't passed my driving test yet, so I don't have a license, so I decided to call a taxi as soon as possible. Half an hour later I was at the hospital. I saw how Michał's dad comforted his mom, but to no avail. She was 100% more jittery than me. No wonder, after all, he's her son. I didn't even want to condemn how awful they must have felt. You saw me gave a slight but very sad smile. And so I was very grateful to him. She must have noticed that I was crying, she just said: I know Eliza, I know...it's going to be okay. I sat next to her and we waited What will happen next.....
