"Hi! May I know who you are?" Asked the girl who wears a hospital gown. Her hair is wavy and messy probably just got up fom her bed. She looks pale and thin. You could easily tell that her body is weak but when I looked at her eyes I was amazed by how lively it is, full of hopes and positivity.
"I'm Nobody" I answered her plainly, not really interested in talking to her. I just wanna be alone at the moment.
"What a weird name you have hahaha."
I just stared at her smiling like an idiot tsss what an annoying lady.
"Ehem uhmmm i'm Nizsha." She extended her right hand to me for a handshake but i just stared at it as a sign of refusal, so she just take it back awkwardly.
"Why are you here in this hospital? What illness do you have?" I glared at her. Can't she just leave me alone? I really hate how talkative she can get.
"It's none of your business." I answered her with an irritated look in my eyes for her to feel how annoyed I was by her presence. I was about to walk away from her when she suddenly grabbed my wrist.
"What now?! Can't you feel that I don't like talking with you? Would you please leave me alone?!" I can't help but to shout at her. Gosh! She's really getting into my nerves!
"Could we... Could we uhmmm ta-"
"Could we what?" I know i'm handsome but she's already giving me a hint that she's interested in me. Oh my, what an easy girl.
"Look miss whoever you are, I know you're interested in me but-"
"Hey! I just want to be friends with you, that's all. I just want to have a friend that I could talk to."
Whatever you say, it's as clear as a water that you're trying to hit on me.
"Well, I'm sorry but I'm not that person you're looking for." I really need to go back to my ward right now. I'm pretty sure the nurses are already looking for me.
"I will have my heart transplant tomorrow. I don't know if I'll live or die but I just want to live this moment." That got me, but shouldn't she spend her remaining time with her love ones?
"You should be spending your remaining hours with your love ones, shouldn't you?
I mean we don't know what could possibly happen so I think it's better if you'll spend the rest of your life with them." I stared at her eyes and I can read the sadness and the longing for someone or something or- I don't know.
"I don't have a family." Her voice broke. I could feel that she's holding back her tears. I ran out of words to say. I was speechless. I looked at her ptyingly. She slowly let go of my hand and smiled a little.
"Oh come on, don't look at me like that. I hate it when someone looks at me with pity in their eyes."
"If you don't have a family then who paid for your Hospital bills?"
"I'm an independent woman besides this hospital is mine. "
"You're so rich."
"I wish I was not." What does she mean? Being rich means you can have all you want. I wanted to tell her that but I kept my mouth shut. I waited for her to say more, I wanted to know the reason why she said that.
"Being rich is good but it's not satisfying. I thought back then that if I became rich I can do what I want,I can be with whom I want to be with, and that wealth is the only thing I need to survive but turns out I was wrong all along." I wanted to say a word but nothing cames out from my mouth. So, I just held her hand. I want to know her more.
"Let's go to the rooftop." I said, we began to walk towards the stairs.
"So you agree to be my friend?"
"I'll think about it." I opened the door for us. And let her in first.
"Wow, I don't know that this hospital has this kind of view. Look at the city lights!" I mumbled as it brings me the feeling of amazement.
I slowly walked towards her. I like how her eyes sparkles, it looks like when I stare at her eyes, it feels like I was lost in a book that tells a lot of stories and as I read it, I was hoping that the ending would not bring chaos in my heart.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" My eyes widened. Man, that was embarrassing! Why would my eyes get locked up looking at a lady? I looked away, avoiding my eyes from hers.
"Uhmm...ehem i'm just uhh I just- look! There's a bench, let's sit there for awhile."
As soon as I reached the bench I wiped out the dust with my green handkerchief to make it clean.
"Sit here" I tapped the space in my right side.
"Thanks!" She gave me a small smile as she sit.
"So uhmmm Nizsha-"
"You remembered!"
"What?"
"My name, you remembered it! I'm glad, I thought you'll always forget. That's a relief atleast there's one person who would not forget my name even if I left this world. Could you please grant my last wish?"
"What is it?"
"Please be friends with me already, I really want to have a friend."
"Fine"
"Yay! Gracias! By the way who are you? I want to know some informations about you too."
"I honestly don't know who I am."
"What do you mean?"
"I just woke up from a coma and I don't remember a single thing about me."
"You're just like someone I used to know."
"And who is that?"
"We first met at the rooftop. He-"
"So it's a man, did you two had a relationship or what?"
"No, let me continue my story"
"Alright"
"He was about to jump off to end his life luckily I was able to grab his right hand and I saved him."
"Ahhh so he attempted to kill himself."
"Yes, he was very angry at me for stopping him. He wanted to end his life because he can't endure it anymore. For him, he's life was a cycle of a never ending sufferings and to end it he chose to end his life instead."
"So what did you do? Ahh, I think I know what happened next, you gave him some inspirational advices and he started his life anew."
"It would be good if that actually happened but sadly it didn't."
"What do you mean?"
"Funny, how desperate he was to end his life because he can't endure it anymore. He thought that death could stop the pain that seems to be the punishment for his life but no, he's still caged up in misery up until now. Not remembering who he was was the most painful part of his life."
"Hey, we have the same situation"
"Yes, and he was you"
