At The Hospital
Ellen flinched back in fear as she opened the door."Hello," the person at the door greeted in an unusual accent waving her hand like a kid."Hello, Mrs. Mi," she answered, releasing her grasp on the vase. It was their weird small slim red-headed neighbour that moved in seventeen months ago. Well, she was more creepy than weird; though sometimes, it's in a funny way. Ellen had looked through the peephole of the door before opening the door but she didn't see anyone. Only for her to open the door and almost immediately, Mrs Mi jumped out.Yeah, she's a grown up yet she acts like a kid and that screams weird!"Hello,'' Mrs. Mi said again, her surprisingly white set of teeth on full display. "Hello," she answered again, trying to maintain the smile on her face.Every normal person would have said whatever they came for but no, not Mrs. Mi. She just kept grinning and staring at her.Ellen grinned back, "uhh, how may I help you, Mrs Mi?" "Oh! There's nothing at all," she started in her

She’s Fine.
Just as they were talking, one of the nurses rushed out. She was in so much haste that they couldn't even stop her to ask about the situation.Immediately, another ran out. They quickly stood up and tried to ask her what was happening. "There's an emergency, we need more equipment and we aren't even sure she'll make it," she said in a rush with no emotion as she steadily and quickly walked out."The hell?" Jones yelled out after the nurse."Jones! Lower your voice. We're in the hospital." Ellen cautioned, "but that was really blunt," she finished, close to tears."Are nurses even supposed to relay such information?" He said as he tried to comfort his wife who stood aside, teary eyed, "it's alright, honey, she'll definitely make it. She seems like a fighter."."Definitely!" looking up at the hospital's ceilings, she continued, "she'll definitely make it! We'll just have to be patient and wait for the doctor," she said and her husband led her to the chair in front of the ward he had e

Awake
There was good news and there was good food. Giselle has been moved to her ward, and true to Dr. Tye's words, it was a private ward and only a limited number of people were allowed in.Doctor Tye had shyly accepted the food Ellen offered him after he came back from successfully helping bring a new life to the world.Though Giselle was still unconscious, the Jones' were happy to see her looking better. At least she was now breathing slightly.She was now looking less pale; her color had come back, she was looking more alive. Her bruises and wounds were also looking very well kept."She's beautiful," Ellen said in awe.Mr Jones nodded, "not as beautiful as you, though".Ellen blushed. "I'll go change now," Mr Jones said to his wife as he walked to the restroom in the wardroom. "Alright," Ellen nodded.He was leaving the hospital. It was dawn, another time the fishes were easily and plentifully caught. He would sell them in the night market. The night market was always more profitable

Memory Lost
It was dark and silent and warm. Especially her right palm, it was probably being held and it felt warm."Maybe it's her mom" She wondered as she opened her eyes only to quickly slam it shut as the bright white light burned her eyes. Her fingers twitched as she slowly, very slowly, tried to open her eyes again. The girl looked around as her eyes took in her surroundings. It was all white, the curtains, the walls, the ceilings, everywhere. Though, she observed that the beeping box-like thing that was by her left wasn't white, what appeared on its screen was a whole lot of different colours.And then she turned to her right side and she jammed eye with a pretty human; one who was staring at her like she just woke up from the land of the dead."Giselle?" The lady said as she gripped her palm tighter and grinned widely at her."Could she be her mom?" She thought.She looked beautiful and young. She looked happy and at the same time, she looked worried.She tried to move her lips and she

Getting Comfortable
Mr Jones looked at Giselle through the glazing on the door; she was smiling and she was eating. She seemed to be enjoying the meal. She looked healthy and well.He couldn't help but wonder, "does she remember? Does she remember anything about herself?"Balancing the bags in his hands, he grasped the doorknob, turned it and opened the door.As the door swung open, Giselle looked up sharply. The hand holding the spoon of food freezed in the air as she observed him.Seconds passed and he stood there at the door watching her as she assessed him curiously. Still looking at him, she finally dipped the spoon of food into her mouth. She cocked her head, the spoon still in her mouth. Her brow scrunched up as she kept staring at him with the spoon still in her mouth."Wouldn't she chew the food in the spoon?" Mr Jones wondered as his gaze riveted to the spoon she still held in her mouth. He finally closed the door and walked in.She still stared at him as he walked in. Few more feets and he

Sleeping Beauty
It was still very early in the morning so Ellen decided that she'd just come back to buy the soap. Ellen was about to turn and start walking into the hospital when she saw someone waving at her from across the road.She squinted her eyes to see who it was; Red shirt, Long yellow skirt and red shoes.She relaxed, "red shoes," she mouthed. She could never mistake those red shoes, she would recognize them anywhere.With a mad dash, "the person flew across the road to her".Panting, the person rushed to her, gripping her big handbag tightly."Mrs Jones," she called her name in her unusual accent, panting."Mrs Mi," she answered, wondering how she knew the hospital they were in."Oh Sherlock," the hand not holding the bag was on the lower part of her tummy as she kept panting, "stalking your husband is a nightmare!" Ellen looked at her, "you stalked my husband? What do you mean you stalked my husband?" she asked quickly."Around 1:00AM this morning, I saw him drive to your home. Of Course

A Remembrance
She took a peep at the young woman before her eyes, "she is beautiful," She admitted.Her lips were moving, "what is she saying?" She wondered."Mom, are you there?" Little Giselle kept murmuring.Mrs Ellen's eyes were misty. "Oh, how I wish she could remember just one thing," She sobbed quietly as she dragged the mattress to cover the lady's body."Durrrr, drrrrr," Her phone rang."Hello, honey," She answered her husband's call."How are you? I thought it nice to reach out to you, how is Giselle?" He asked his wife."She is fine and asleep, Mrs. Mi had an attack here in the hospital," She announced to him."Ohhhh! This is not good, have you reached out to Mr Mi?" He asked again."His number is not on this phone, my spare phone is at the house," She responded."I will send his number to you, try to reach him. We can't tend to two people at the same time," He said in a more serious tone."Alright, honey. Thank you""It's the least I could do for the woman I love," He said, putting the

A Call
"Gently, gently," Mr. Mi cautioned, guiding his wife into the car he had brought to take her home."My babyyyy… …baby… .." She cried entering the car."It's okay, honey." He consoled."I want my baby," she shouted at her husband, falling down to sit on the bare floor. "You don't want to cause more embarrassments, do you?" He lifted her from the ground where she was sitting already. They were discharged for the day from the hospital, Mr. Mi says Mrs. Mi will be more dramatic if she spends the night at the hospital."Are you okay?" Mrs. Jones asked Giselle on their way out of the hospital exit. They hopped into the hired taxi."Drrrrr, drrrrr." Her phone rang. "Hold on honey," "Hello, baby.""'baby'?" Giselle wondered. "Who is the baby?""How are you? I miss you," She said to the caller. It was Thomas, her own biological son. "I miss you too, mom. Aunt Abby says she'd leave for the states soon, so I'll be back by next month.""Awww, isn't that nice?" She said to her son." How is da

Say bye
A new day arrived, Giselle woke up with excitement, "I shall see my brother today," she sang to any soul who cared to listen."Honey, how are you?" Elle had asked that morning.She answered, "I am fine, mum. And how are you?" She asked, smiling."I am okay, honey.""Thomii is coming back today, isn't it?"Laughing at the young woman, Ellen answered, "It's Thomas honey, not Thomii," she corrected."Tho–mis," she repeated, smiling."Say Tho–mas," Ellen said again. "Tho–mas," Giselle said again."Good morning, ladies," Mr. Jones voice came in on the twain."Good morning, honey," Ellen greeted."Good morning, daddy," Giselle said, moving closer to have a short hug."Did you sleep well?" He asked the two."Yes," Giselle answered."And you, my love?" He said facing his wife."I did too," she answered, smiling at her husband."Okay, that's good. I should prepare for work," he said, moving to his room to take his bath."Mum?" Giselle called."Yes, honey," Ellen answered, checking for updates

Out to see a doctor
Wearing a red petite gown and a black hat, Mrs. Ellen looked perfect.Giselle simply wore a blue gown and slippers holding her mother by her hand and they chatted on their way out of the compound."Hello, Mr. Mi. How do you do?" She greeted her neighbour, hugging him shortly."I am doing well, thank you. How are you Mrs. Jones?" He asked her."I am doing well, thank you."*I see you are on your way out," he said and patted Giselle."Good morning, sir," Giselle greeted the man finally."How are you feeling today?" He asked."Fine, thank you," she smiled at him and looked at Ellen holding her by her hand."We should be on our way, we are almost late. Tye might see us at a late hour," Ellen said and they moved out from the compound."Six streets from this street," she explained to the taxi driver she halted. "How much?""Six streets," the old man repeated, making calculations.The price was negotiated and they hopped in to move to the hospital."Mum, I forgot my bow band," Giselle compla
