"Sweetheart---"
She didn't mind me. I followed her to our room...
"Sweetheart---"
"Are even now, Aris?"
"No!"
"Be happy, I feel the pain..."
"Hear me please,"
"Why have I heard my pleas before? Okay, spill it,"
"We are not kissing, that's the truth. She kissed me, and I pushed her away, but instead, she hugged me tighter,"
"Okay,"
"Do you believe me?"
"If I won't... I am letting history repeat itself..."
"Sweetheart---"
"Okay, don't worry... Everything is fine,"
"I don't believe you,"
"Then don't... Anyway, unlike you, I will not let you sleep on the floor, in the first place, it is your house,"
"What? It is our house,"
"Second, I will not slap or kick you, I know how painful those slaps and kicks... I will not pull your hair either, nor bang your head in the door or wall. I promise that,"
I trembled when I heard Ellie's words...
"Let's sleep, I feel tired," Ellie said, and after saying she collapsed.
I am not expecting it to be that way... And she is at a distance from me... She fell on the floor hitting her head at the edge of our bed.
Blood spurts in her head... I am a doctor, but at that time, I panic.
"Ready the car!" I was shouting as I carried Ellie going down covering her head with the towel.
Her head bleeds too much and she's still unconscious when we reach the hospital.
One passed, but Ellie was still unconscious.
"We need to have a CT scan, doc,"
"Do it!"
"But why she's still unconscious?"
"Sweetheart, wake up please,"
After the CT scan...
"Doc, the result is this," our resident doctor handed me the result
"Explain it to me, I cannot understand that,"
"The bad result first. Based on the CT Scan she got a hematoma... But it can be washed out. It's at the outer covering of the brain. We have to pray, that she can wake up until three days,"
"No!!!"
"Calm down doc, please,"
"The good one, she is 10 weeks pregnant, or shall we say 2 months and 2 weeks,"
"Ohhhh my! How could I be happy for that, Ellie is still unconscious..."
The passing of the day waiting for Ellie to wake up is a great agony for me. I blame myself for what happened to her.
"Sweetheart, forgive me. I always caused you pain... But honestly, what you saw is not what you think... Baby, please wake up Mommy,"
On the second day, Ellie is still sleeping... I am trembling in fear...what if---
"Sweetheart please wake up... You sleep too much..."
On the third day... I never leave her side... I massage her fingers, her foot... I never stop whispering to her to wake up... I sing her our favorite song.
"Don't sleep for long sweetheart... Arra and Ella are crying always...please wake up... I am. not. kissing that woman... If not only a sin to kill, I will kill her for what she has done..."
I feel so hopeless...
"Sweetheart, you wake up... Forgive me if I can do what I am not supposed to do...wake up sweetheart,"
In tiredness, I fall asleep beside Ellie, I am holding her hands.
I was awakened when I felt someone pushing my hands...when I realized it was Ellie pushing my hands away.
"Sweetheart---"
"Why you sleep in my arms, it numbs,"
"Ohhhh thank you you're awake now... Sorry, let me massage it,"
I massage her arms and fingers.
"Thank you. Enough,"
"Can I go home now?"
"Let's refer first to doc Ace, Let's wait until he can have his rounds tomorrow,"
"Okay... You can go home now, I am fine,"
"No,"
"Then, no..." Ellie said and turned her back away from me.
"Sweetheart, please believe me..."
"I believe you...what more?"
"You face me, and say that,"
"Demanding!"
"Please,"
"I believe you,"
"Thanks... Then where's my kiss?"
"You wash first your mouth...I don't want to take the saliva of that b*itch!" Ellie said.
I tried hard not to laugh.
"So let's sleep now,"
"You're crazy... When I am sleeping, you won't stop murmuring in my ears for me.to.wake up...now that I am awake, you want me to sleep... Are you getting crazy Ariston?"
"Okay... Do you hear my whispers?
"Yes, but I feel drowning... But later, I feel pain...so I get angry...there I was awakened,"
"Ohhh...thanks,"
"Why? Did I sleep long?"
"Three days,"
"What?"
