Marry's eyelids fluttered open, revealing a dimly lit hospital room. The faint beeping of medical monitors and the distant murmur of voices filtered into her awareness. As she slowly regained consciousness, she felt an overwhelming sense of disorientation. It was as if she had just awoken from a long, surreal dream.
She tried to move, but her limbs felt heavy and unresponsive. Panic began to rise within her until she heard a soft, reassuring voice nearby."Marry, can you hear me?" A nurse leaned over her, a look of relief washing over her face. "You've been in a coma for two months."
Two months? The words echoed in Marry's mind. Her last memory was of the grand hall in Queen Jessica's kingdom, the celebration in full swing. How had she ended up here?
"Where... where am I?" Marry managed to whisper, her voice weak and raspy.
"You're in a hospital," the nurse replied gently. "You've been through a lot, but you're safe now."
Marry's eyes darted around the room, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. Her thoughts were a jumbled mess of the fantastical world she had left behind and the stark reality she now faced. She tried to speak again, but exhaustion overtook her, and she slipped back into a restless sleep, her mind filled with images of Queen Jesica and the mysterious journey that had brought her back.
Marry slowly opened her eyes again, this time to the soft murmurs of familiar voices. As her vision cleared, she saw the tear-streaked faces of her parents, standing by her bedside, holding her hands tightly. Her mother’s eyes were filled with both relief and worry, while her father’s stoic facade cracked with a rare display of emotion.
"Mom... Dad..." Marry whispered, her voice still weak.
"Oh, Marry!" her mother exclaimed, tears streaming down her cheeks. "We were so scared. We thought we had lost you."
Her father squeezed her hand gently, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. "You’re a fighter, sweetheart. Welcome back."
Just then, the door opened, and Nancy, Marry's best friend, rushed in. Her eyes widened in disbelief before she broke into a wide smile. "ry! You're awake!" she cried, rushing to the other side of the bed to hug her as gently as possible.
"Nancy," Marry whispered, feeling the warmth of her friend’s embrace. "I missed you."
"We all missed you," Nancy replied, her voice choked with emotion. "You’ve been in a coma for so long. We were all praying for you every day."
Marry's eyes filled with tears as she ked at the loving faces around her.
Marry was overjoyed to be reunited with her loved ones, but as the initial wave of happiness subsided, she felt a deep, nagging sense of emptiness. It was as if a piece of her heart was missing, a wound that no amount of affection from her family and friends could heal.
Marry’s heart ached with a deeper, more intimate sorrow. It wasn't just the kingdom or Queen Jessica she missed; it was Louis, her first love, who had captured her heart in ways she had never imagined. Every thought of him brought a sharp pang of longing and regret.Lying in the hospital bed, she could almost see his face—the warmth of his smile, the gentle touch of his hand, the way he made her feel safe and cherished. He had been her rock in that strange, enchanting world, and now, the thought of never seeing him again was almost unbearable.
Her mother’s voice pulled her back to the present. "Marry, you seem so far away. What is it, dear?"
Marry wanted to share her feelings, to tell her mother about Louis and the profound emptiness she felt without him. But the words got stuck in her throat, too heavy with emotion to be spoken aloud. She swallowed hard, her eyes brimming with unshed tears."Mom, it’s nothing," she said quietly, forcing a small smile. "Just... overwhelmed, I guess."Her mother looked at her with concern but didn't press further. "It's okay, sweetheart. You’ve been through so much. Take your time."
Marry noded...Time skips
After being discharged from the hospital, she came to her house Everyone in the family was dedicated to taking care of her, ensuring she had everything she needed.One sunny afternoon, as Marry settled back into the comfort of her own home, she lay in her bed, surrounded by the familiar sights and sounds that she had missed. The soft rustling of leaves outside her window and the distant chirping of birds filled the room with a sense of peace.
Just then, the door creaked open gently, and Nancy, tiptoed in with a tray of freshly cut fruits. The vibrant colors of the fruits brightened the room. Nancy smiled warmly, placing the tray on the bedside table.
"I thought you might like something fresh," Nancy said softly, her eyes full of care and concern.
Mary smiled back,
Marry:""Nancy, tell me how I ended up in a coma. I don't remember anything."
Nancy:""Remember that day when we talked on the phone? You said you were going to stay up all night to write the story. The next morning, I called you but you didn't answer. I thought you were still sleeping because you had stayed up all night. So, I went to pick you up for university When I arrived at your house, I saw you sleeping at the table. I tried really hard to wake you up, but you wouldn't open your eyes. I got really scared and quickly called an ambulance. At the hospital, the doctors said that you had gone into a coma."
Hearing this, I felt like my breath stopped. I didn't know what to do. Then I called your parents and told them everything. When they arrived at the hospital, we all prayed for you together. Your mom couldn't stop crying.But I couldn't understand what had happened. The night before, you were perfectly fine. What went wrong that night? I talked to the doctor, but even they couldn't explain it. They said you might never wake up again. Hearing that felt like the ground had slipped away from under our feet.
I thought I might never see you again.
(Crying)
Marry:"don't cry see i am totally fine"
Marry huged nancy to comfort her...
