the trap

Renewal of Life

I wanted to open the shutter of my eyes as swiftly as I could to end the filmy scene which just happened. I wanted to unlock me from the dark room of death. I wanted to make sure I was still respiring, soo I started taking deep breath.

But I could not open my eyes with the same ease, as any human could after a long sleep. It was as though I had been into a long nap. I opened the window of my eyes which of course was my vexatious attempt and made the world visible to me.

I saw the white roof and let out sigh of relief, that it was shitty dream.

But...

Wait...

The roof of my room wasn't white, it was blue ofcourse. Infact my room was all blue. And neither was my blanket white.
I could see few people around me!!

Who are they!??

The one I can't unrecognize was Blair, who had a eerie greedy look towards me in her pooled eyes. Blair, she was the only love of Nick. And they just married a week ago. But why isn't Nick here??

Wait...

I still donno where the hell I am...

I could also see a man with blonde hair in his late fourty's, wearing a white apron. And two young ladies, who almost mimicked the nursing staff of some hospital.

Wait, did I just think of hospital!!?

Yess...I was in a hospital ward, lying on the bed. The man who looked like a doctor, ofcourse he was a doctor!, gave a wide smile.

I lie on the bed... still confused, why am I in the bloody hospital, lying on this boring bed??

Ahhh...

My head...it hurts...

I decided to ask Blair what's with the environment around me.

Giving a little wave to my tongue just to omit a small sentence seemed like a cumbersome process to me. I wanted to hold Blair's hand, who was sobbing. But I could not lift my own hand from the bed which was lying by my side, as if it has refused to obey it's owner.

With great effort, I let out a sentence...

"Wh...wh..where...a..ammm...aayee.. ???
Wh..whatt iss wronnn!!??"

"Ohh Lyra dear!!! Thank Goodness, you are awake!! What a relief, that I just heard your voice!!!" she said these words as though I just came out from the cave of death.

Did I just mention death!!???

"Lyra....you were in coma since two years, dear!!"

Wh....whattt...Noooo ...Did I hear it correctly. Orr did Blair say it wrongly.

"Yess..dear, you are lying on this bed since two years. We are very sorry Lyra... we did not ask you, how have you been? We didn't ask you, what were you going through?? Me and Nick, we are really sorry....we should have been with you."

Yess...they weren't with me, when i had that amazing stunt. Of course they were newly married and they were enjoying their vacation.

"We are really sorry...Lyra!!" Her tears rolled down on her beautiful face.

"Wh...where's Nick!!??" I stutter with great effort. I mean, he's my elder brother and my only family left.

Yess...my dad left us just a month before my mum's funeral.

With my question on Nick's absence around me, when I needed him the most, she lowered her head in melancholy. Then she looked at me with an arc of smile "He's out of the town dear, because of some work. He'll be here in a couple of day. And we'll just have to wait for his look when he'll see you awake" she attempted a smirk with these words.
