FATE

Chapter Fourteen

He held a hand to his head which feels like it's splitting into two, he dragged himself out of his car, his legs wobbly constricting one another. How he was able to drive himself to the hospital in such a state is a miracle itself, not bothering to close the car probably, he made his way towards the hospital main building but before he reached the door his legs gave up and he fell to the ground, just in time Dr.Daniel saw him and asked for a assistance to get him into the hospital.

He woke up with a groan, his head throbbing. He made an effort to seat while trying to register where he was.
"No, that's not a good idea doc" a tiny lady clad in all white with a cute smile said, moving towards him to prevent him from sitting up.

"You need to lay back down, I will get Dr.Daniel for you" she said after making sure he was laying down comfortable. He nodded, closing his eyes welcoming the thoughts of past events. Somewhere out there he has a wife and her name isn't noor, a pang of pain crossed through his heart. Where is she? How is she? What happened to her? Did she think it was his fault? What was she told? All these questions flooded his mind, adding to his already throbbing head.

The door creaked and was pulled open, his colleague Dr. Daniel walked in, the tiny nurse with the cute smile got on his heels.
"How are you feeling doc?" He asked checking my pulse.
"How did I end up here?" I asked ignoring his question.

"By some miracle you were able to drive yourself to the hospital, but you didn't make into the hospital. Luckily I was on my way out when I saw you slouching to the ground and we brought you in" he answered while using the stethoscope on me, I nodded to his explanation putting the puzzles together. I couldn't remember how I got to the hospital when I woke up.

"How could you be very careless with your health mahn? You bp was very high when you came here but we were able to stabilize it. You of all people should know how to take care of yourself" the Dr. said in a scolding voice.

"What ever the matter is, calm down. You won't solve the problem while you are dead, so chill. Try and have some rest will check on you later." He said and after checking everything to see if it's in place before leaving with the nurse behind him.

I closed my eyes avoiding thoughts trying to invade my head but she's still there. Nooriyya where are you? With that thought my drugs kicked in and I was able to fall asleep.
