You changed my life [Rammstein]

Chapter 42: Is everything okay?

POV JIMAIMA:

I wake up, a warm body pressed against mine. I move against this embrace and release myself then get out of bed and go to wash my face. I pick up my clothes scattered on the floor and then enter the bathroom.

I have been living with Emil for three months in my fathers' house. Paul hasn't yet woken up and this has caused Richard to have a bad mood.

I wear my clothes, wash my face then put on my glasses and look straight ahead. The mirror reflects the image of a girl who no longer looks like me, a sad face that only rarely sleeps.

-I think I need ice cubes for my eyes, I'm horrible. I say, checking them.

The ringing of my fiance's phone brings me out of my thoughts. I wait a moment and then it stops and Emil's weary voice answers.

Every weekend morning, the doctors called us to inform us about the improvement of my father's condition. But it didn't matter as long as Paul didn't wake up.

-What ?? Emi exclaims in a surprised tone. Are you sure, Doctor Fergusson?

-What is it, Em? I ask, looking at him through the mirror. Don't scare me.

Reinke gives me a big smile and then continues to talk with his interlocutor. Finally, he hangs up and starts running around the room to pick up his clothes scattered around the room.

-Stop running in all directions. I exclaim as I return to the room. You're giving me nausea.

-Father awoke last night. He shouts as he slips on his clothes. I'm crappy happy !!

-I'll come with you...

-You're too tired with your eighth month, I'll drop you off at Khira's.

He's my father too and it's out of question to miss the chance to be the first to see him waking up. I have been waiting this moment for months.

-Emil, it's out of way that you leave me here...

-Ok, put on a coat and I'll wait for you in the car.

I take a coat jacket in my wardrobe and put it on quickly and then pick up my bag from the bedside table and go out to join my boyfriend. He starts quickly and accelerates to arrive on time.

Once at the large blue building's bottom, we enter and pass to the reception and then to the lower floor in race steps. I feel my breathing cutting off several times until we arrive in front of the room.

-What the- ? Starts my lover, opening the door. The room is empty !!

-Where is he, good god? I exclaim by joining him.

A nurse passes in the almost empty corridor and my fiancé stops to ask her where our father is. The young lady looks in a file hanging at the door and then announces that the patient is in the resuscitation room.

-Danke schone, fräulein. Emil says to her in his mother tongue.

We get in the elevator which takes us one floor higher then we head to room 394. I discover Richard and Emigrate' bassist outside the room, this one is guarded by a very strict molosse.

Richard doesn't look good, not at all...

-Margaux !? I exclaim with surprise when I see my uncle's girlfriend. What are you doing here at this late hour?


The woman looks up at me and she seems grieved by something very disturbing. I think it's not father Landers who had a discomfort.
