365 Days To Love-Chapter 243 - TWO HUNDRED AND FOURTY-THREE:The Wait Before The Storm(2)
It was late in the night, Twelve in the night to be precise with a huge silence fallen in the hospital wards,it seems everyone was asleep.
Everyone except one,Hazel.
The drugs seemed to wear off sooner, because she had thought that she was going to sleep till morning,which was the D-Day for her surgery.
Her eyes were snapped open, blinking for three good times as if the lights were too heavy against her eyes.
She couldn’t sleep anymore after the drugs had worn off,how could she?
Her mind was far too stressed with the thoughts of what tomorrow had in store for her,and she wouldn’t lie that she wasn’t nervous.
Today’s event was such a long one, but it was memorable for her. She finally got to see everyone together, her family except her dad.
She did want to spoil her mood further with the thoughts of the man, who had aided in bringing her to this world.she had learnt to accept things to go.
Life was too short bearing grudge’s,no one knew when their time would be up and the best thing they could do was enjoy the time they got.To enjoy the special moments spent with loved ones before that right will be taken away from them.
Special moments with loved ones,the perfect example for that was the man who was fast asleep beside her while holding her hands.
Zaiden.Her world. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Even as he slept beside her,he held onto her left hand as if she would disappear the moment he woke up without holding her.
She watched as he slept,while she smiled.He much needed the rest because he had gone through a lot today,and he has a long day ahead of him tomorrow.
An undefined day,which both her life and death were undefined while leaving her tensed and scared with no choice but to hope and pray for the best.
Inching closer to Zaiden,she couldn’t help but gush at how lucky she is to find herself one lovely man.
Not only was he blessed in all ramifications when it comes to physical appearance,he has a beautiful heart too.
A beautiful heart that had chosen to love and abide by her no matter what happened,but she was scared of what the outcome was going to be.
She didn’t want to think about what’s going to be his reaction,if things go wrong tomorrow and as much as he had pleaded with her to stop thinking negatively, she couldn’t help it.
It was hard seeing him this way,it hurt her deeply knowing that she was about to leave such a beautiful soul behind in this wicked world.
For the very first time,she was greedy for more time,if only that was possible,she still wanted to spend some time with him.
How could she ever think that their love was timeless?
It has a time for that,and as the fairygodmther had said that she would turn out a grieved and restless soul if she doesn’t fall in love.
She had fought against that fate,and had fallen deeply in love with Zaiden who she couldn’t stand to lose.
Was it still late to ask for more time?
The question hung on her lips to ask,but there’s no sign that there’s a possibility that she would ever see the fairygodmther again to ask for more time.
If she had known there would ever come a time,that she would find something or someone worth living for,she would have had that surgery months ago.
She would have done the surgery, and saved herself the stress of going through this pain.It hurts watching him being this way because of her.
The fact that there lies a chance of her not making it,made things more complicated than ever.For a starter,she had expected him to abandon her after hearing her story.
It wouldn’t have hurt more like it did now,if he had done that rather than standing by her,leaving her guilty for what is happening right now.
She needed to see the fairygodmother,by all means,she had to see her.
So she sat up carefully,while making sure she didn’t alert Zaiden that she was awake,she didn’t want him following her to where she was about to go.
Slowly she carefully withdrew her hand from his grip,and gave a deep breath when she was sure that he wasn’t awake.
With one last look at him,she opened the door and saw the guards stationed outside her door.
"I will be going out for a while"She told one of them whose face was friendlier than the other,who wouldn’t mind stopping her from leaving,after all it was late in the night and Zaiden had no idea where she was going.
But she has no choice than to do this,she has to start believing that things wouldn’t work out fine.
That’s why she hoped this would work,as she sauntered out of the gates of the hospital ,the park wasn’t far from there.
That has been the first place she met her,how could she forget?
The streets were still busy,and she didn’t want to mind the fact that she was getting creepy stars from people who saw her in hospital clothes.
She was far more concerned if what she was about to do would work or not,she had to come because she needed her desperately.
It was just a few seconds walk to the park,and she sat down with her head hung low,the tears cascaded down her face even without her saying anything yet.
She sobbed,and couldn’t hold it in as she left everything out.She had been holding herself from breaking down in front of Zaiden, because he couldn’t bear seeing her cry.
"I don’t..want to die"Her lips quivered,with her stuttering while waiting for the magic to happen.
If she could remember,she didn’t say anything but she had appeared to her on her own, but right now things were different.
She had to come out at all costs,she would do anything just to be alive for Zaiden.
"I can’t live without him ..so please help me"She sobbed,waiting desperately as time went on.
Second went into minutes,and she’s probably sure that she has stayed up to thirty minutes without any sign of the old woman.
That was it, she’s helpless.She didn’t show up.
"Please.."She cried, soaking her clothes as the tears didn’t seem to stop,until she saw some figures Infront of her.
But it wasn’t who she wanted to see,it wasn’t the fairygodmother.
"I’m sorry for not staying up..."Zaiden apologized while squatting down to wipe off the tears from her face,with the pad of his hands,but she cut him short.
"It wasn’t your fault,I just wanted a breath of fresh air"She smiled, while trying to pretend that she was good.
"Have you had enough? It’s cold out here sweetheart"He said, rubbing his arms while looking at his sides.
It was late december.
"Let’s go then "She said, dragging him up from where he squatted down infront of her,she can’t let him knew that she was out here waiting for some stupid god mother to show up.
She will have to fight her battles alone,and she knows she will win.She has to come back alive at all cost.
"Everything is going to work out fine,baby,"Zaiden said, holding her hand as he pecked her temple, while she replied back with a smile that didn’t reach her face.
She’s scared,and so was he too...but they will figure out a solution out of this situation.
As the two couples retreated back to the hospital,they were oblivious to the being that stood watching them as they went in.
No one,but the fairygodmother.
