Forever With Me

chapter 8

I got married to Lex few months after he proposed and we've been together till today.
I looked at him as he laid on the sick bed, my eyes dripping of tears. I noticed I was lost in my thoughts thinking of everything and every moments we've shared together. A month after our wedding, lex had an accident on his way for an official meeting. Since then he had been a coma.
I was so full of pain knowing he isn't dead neither alive. I slept in the hospital countless times hoping one day he would wake up and See me first.
His parents spent so much money trying to keep his life machine on. It went on for 2 years. We kept on praying, fasting and hoping he would make it.
One day the doctor called me to his office and told me it was better to switch off the life machine since his parents and I have been struggling to get money in order to keep the life machine on. As I heard those words the doctor said, I started crying. "Why will this happen to me, it hasn't been long we got married and this is happening" I told the doctor. Look, I don't know how you will do it but I am not going to allow you switch off that life machine, I said painfully.
After a week, I was sitting down on the chair, rested my head on the bed Lex laid when the doctor came in with his parents. I stood up to greet them and the doctor looked at me and said look it's time to pay for his life machine or we won't have any option than to switch it off. I begged him along with his parents to give us time,  we would pay for it. We hadn't paid since 2 months ago. As the doctor was about to switch off the life machine, "Nooooo", I shouted, with tears rolling down my eyes, his parents were crying too, asking God for a miracle.
I went to his bed, placed my hands on his chest, looked at him as tears rolled down my face to his body.
Surprisingly I noticed a little squeeze on my hand and a movement on his toes. I looked at the doctor. Lex mum shouted, "Glory be to God". We were so happy that he had come back to life, so the doctor,  made us leave the room in other to attend to him.
I was full of happiness, God gave him a chance, his parents and I also had hope, our prayers and fasting wasn't in vain.
Till now, Lex and I are happily married with two kids.
