The Accidental Love

Chapter-3

Alex's POV-

The next morning I get ready to go to the hospital. I'm so excited.

My father was on the dining table. He called me over. We usually don't talk. Sometimes we spend a month without talking. So when today he tried to talk, I was a bit shocked. Still, I was in a good mood, so I wished him good morning. 

"Where are you going this early in the morning?" He asked genuinely.

"To the hospital." I said with a cheerful smile. I can't hold my smile back.

"Why are you this happy? It's been long, I saw you smiling like this. What happened?" He asked with a smile.

"He is awake." I replied.

"What? That's very good Alex. I can see, why you are so happy. Take something for him, if he is awake. Tell me what happened in the evening.  Okay? Now I have to go. Take care child." He patted on my shoulder and went from there.

What the hell just happened? Did he also wake up after so many years. Why he is behaving like this.

I left for the hospital and as my father suggested, I took a baby's breath flower bouquet for him.

Vin's mother was already there. She saw me, she smiled and told me to come in.

"He is still sleeping. But doctors said, he will be up in some hours" she said.

"You want to take some rest, then go. I'll be here." I said to her. She said she is going to bring some coffee and asked if I want some but I denied. She left.

I sat beside his bed. I put my bag on the floor. I took out my diary and started writing in it. After completing I put it on the table.

I was looking at him. After years, today it's felt like I'm looking at him for the first time. I don't know how much time has elapsed. I took his hand in mine. I combed his hairs with my hand.

"You don't know Vin, how long I've been waiting for you. But you don't need to know that. You just need to stay healthy and happy. I will do everything to make that happen." I said to him I know he is sleeping, but I had this feeling in my heart, I had to take it out.

I stood up a little and kissed his forehead and stayed there for a while. When I was about to move back I saw his eyes were opened. That shocked me. I tried to step back, but he holds my hand very strongly. But thank god, his mom entered, just in time.

"Oh! Baby, you are up. I swear, I was going to strangle the doctor, who is saying from yesterday that you will wake up in some hours, but you were still sleeping." She hugged him. He was still holding my hand with his one hand and the other was tapping on his mom's shoulder.

"Mom, can't breathe. Can't breathe." Aunt Marry was still holding him tightly.

I tried to hold aunt and said "Aunt, he can't breathe."

"Oh!" Just then his father and little Selena came in. Behind them were some other family members. This time he left my hand. All of his family circled him. The doctors came in too. I took the corner and stand there silently. I was continuously looking at him. I notice that he too was looking at me in between.

I don't think, right now I will get anytime to talk to him. I was about to leave when I hear him call for me, I guess.

"Hey, wait." He said, I looked towards him.

"Mom, who is he? I never saw him before" He asked his mom, looking at me.

What does he mean, do they know me. It's me. Right?

Confusion was clear on everyone's face. His mom looked at him and asked "What are you talking about? You don't remember him."

"Doctor, what is this." his dad asked the doctor.

My heart was beating at the speed of a bullet.

"Let me check, sir." He replied. Everyone moved back.

"Okay.  Tell me the last thing you remember." Doctor asked Vin.

"I don't know, I was... we were... yes, we were at grandpa' farm house. Right?" He said looking at his family with a doubtful look.

"How did you get into the accident?" He asked again.

"Was not I am climbing on the tree in the back yard of the house? Am I wrong. Is there something that I don't know?" Vin started to get panicked. My heart broke seeing him like this.

Is this my punishment. That he doesn't remember me.

"Nothing happened dear. Calm down" His mom said. They were looking at doctor for some answers. We all know what is happening and we also know, it can be the situation, but how hurtful that will be, only I know that.

"Sir, will you come with me." Doctor said to his dad. His dad, mom and others went after the doctor.

"I...I should go now." I said with hesitation. I don't know what I can do standing here.

"I'm sorry. I don't remember you." He said, he seemed very sad.

"No. Please don't say sorry. It's not your fault. It'd be me, who should be sorry." I said. I could not keep my emotions in control. I should just leave.

"I'm just you school friend. So it's ok, if you don't remember me." I continued. But he interrupted me.

"But why I feel, you are someone I should remember." He said very confidently. Without any hesitation.

Oh! How much I wish it to be true. But obviously, if he found out that it was because of me, he got into that accident, he might change his words.

"I should really go now. You take care. Don't stress much." With that I left.

His parents were coming towards the room when I saw them.

"What did the doctor said." I asked.

"There can be two situations. One, he just temporarily forgot things and in some days he will remember everything. Or second, it will take some efforts to make him remember everything." His dad said.

"He is in time when he fallen down from a tree that time it was not that serious from outer look, but internally it left an impact on his brain. Now it is taking it's toll." His mom cleared my all doubts.

"I don't know what to do now. Is it okay for me to come see him now?" I asked. By the look on their face I understood it's meaning.

"Okay. I'll stay away from him." I said that and left. It took everything in me to stop myself from running into his room and hold him.

I think it is better if I stay away.
