Vahni POV:
As I drift away into unconsciousness, I'm vaguely aware of the beeping of machines and the murmured conversations of the medical staff. I try to hold on to these sounds, but they grow fainter and fainter until everything goes black.
When I come to, I'm groggy and disoriented. I try to sit up, but a sharp pain shoots through my stomach, making me gasp. I fall back onto the pillow, exhausted.
A gentle voice speaks beside me. "Welcome back, Vahni. You're in the recovery room. You've just had surgery to remove your appendix."
I try to process this information, but my brain feels foggy. I glance around the room, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. My parents are sitting beside me, holding my hands and smiling reassuringly.
"How are you feeling?" my mom asks, her voice soft with concern.
I try to speak, but my voice is hoarse. "Thirsty," I manage to croak.
My dad quickly hands me a glass of water, and I take a sip, feeling the cool liquid soothe my parched throat.
As I lie there, I start to feel a sense of relief wash over me. The pain is still there, but it's no longer the sharp, stabbing sensation it was before. I know I've got a long road to recovery ahead of me, but for now, I'm just grateful to be alive.
My parents stay with me for a while, chatting quietly and holding my hands. Eventually, they leave to go get some food, and I'm left alone with my thoughts.
As I drift off to sleep, I'm aware of the beeping of machines and the soft hum of the hospital equipment. I feel a sense of peace wash over me, knowing that I'm safe and that I've got my parents to take care of me.
As I slowly regain consciousness, I'm greeted by the sweet scent of flowers and the cheerful colors of get-well cards. I try to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washes over me, forcing me to lie back down.
My mom walks into the room, a warm smile on her face. "Hey, beta! How are you feeling?" she asks, sitting down beside me.
I try to respond, but my voice is still hoarse from the anesthesia. I clear my throat, trying again. "M...mom," I whisper.
My mom takes my hand, her eyes filled with concern. "I'm here, beta. You're safe now."
I glance around the room, taking in the flowers and cards. "Who...who sent these?" I ask, my voice still weak.
My mom smiles. "Your friends, beta. They've been trying to reach you, but you weren't responding. They contacted me, and I told them you were in the hospital. They came to visit you while you were sleeping, but they didn't want to disturb you, so they left these lovely gifts instead."
I feel a surge of gratitude towards my friends. They're always there for me, no matter what.
My mom gets up, heading towards the door. "I brought you some dinner, beta. Plain food, just what the doctor ordered."
She sets a tray down in front of me, filled with plain rice, chicken soup, and some fruit. I take a tentative bite, feeling a little like a patient, but the food is comforting and familiar.
My mom smiles, watching me eat. "I'll let you rest now, beta. Sleep tight, and I'll visit you again in the morning."
She leans over, giving me a gentle kiss on the forehead. "I love you, beta."
"I love you too, mom," I whisper, feeling a sense of gratitude and love towards her.
As my mom leaves, I settle back into bed, feeling a little more at peace. The flowers and cards from my friends are a reminder that I'm not alone, and that I have people who care about me.
But as I lie there, I couldn't help but think of Vihaan. I wish he was here, holding my hand and telling me everything will be okay. I wish he would just come visit me, or even text me to let me know he's thinking of me. I feel a pang of sadness, wondering why he hasn't reached out to me yet.
As I think of Vihaan, I start to feel my eyelids getting heavy. The medication is kicking in, and I can feel myself drifting off to sleep. I try to fight it, but it's no use. I succumb to the darkness, my thoughts of Vihaan fading into the background.
As I drift off to sleep, I'm vaguely aware of the beeping of the machines around me and the soft murmur of the nurses' voices in the hallway. I feel a sense of relief wash over me, knowing that I'm safe and being taken care of.
My mind starts to wander, and I think about all the things I want to do when I get out of the hospital. I want to go for a walk, feel the sun on my face, and breathe in the fresh air. I want to see my friends, laugh with them, and just enjoy each other's company. And, of course, I want to see Vihaan, to talk to him, and to know that he's thinking of me.
