The Love Of My Life

CHAPTER 9

Chris Pov

I could feel my head spinning when i opened my eyes, the life machine kept beeping, i could feel the connected drips running through my vain, i saw a young lady  with brown blonde hair sitting on one of the chairs in the room she was busy reading a magazine,  the only name that came to my mind  at that time  was Natasha......Natasha, Natasha i mumbled but the lady didn't hear me my throat was soar and because of that my voice wasn't audible enough to be heard, i stretched out my weak hand to her but she didn't still notice me, then an idea occurred to me i coughed out loud and moaned out in pain, suddenly the lady dropped the magazine  and rushed to my bed side when i saw her i realised that wasn't Natasha..."Wow finally you are awake am so happy  she exclaimed happily hugging me really tight, ouch that hurts i said weakly,  am so sorry sir she said , i noticed she had one of this ascent but i could not place which of the ascent she had..."Where am i? I mumbled.....
Sir,you are in "Hospital Angles Metropolitano"  What the hell is that ? I asked curiously....sorry i mean you are in Angles Metropolitano Hospital in Mexico she said smiling i noticed she was meant to say metropolis but she said metropolitano i guess that's how the say it in mexico,  how did i get to mexico and how long have i been here,   you have been here in the ICU for 6months and my mother and i saved your life don't ask me any further questions again i have to call the doctor said the lady, immediately she kissed my forehead and headed towards the door. So many questions kept running through my mind, so i have been unconscious for 6months in Mexico i mumbled to myself that was when i noticed i could not feel my right leg it was covered with pop.

After the doctor examined me he said..... don't worry sir you will still be able to walk  again just that it will take a little time for that to happen, but for now you will be using a wheel chair, i felt really weak at the sound of that,     the  young lady kept staring at me and smiling i really felt uncomfortable with the way she was staring "you didn't tell me your name i said trying to break the silence between us... My name is Lucia Santiago, don't worry my mother will soon be here whats your own name she said grinning....Am Chris....before i could complete my sentence an elderly woman walked in with a big shopping bag she also looked excited when she saw me, she introduced herself as Melisa Santiago, Lucia's mother .

          I got to know Lucia and her mother better after i had my meal, they were really nice people but from everything they told me i knew that they could not afford three square meals a day and life has been very difficult for them since Lucia's dad died and i really felt bad for being a burden to them...While we continued talking my mind drifted over to Natasha i know she thought i was dead , i also knew i had caused her pain and broken my promise to her, but i had already made up my mind as soon as i start walking again i would go back to Vegas, while my mind was still on Natasha i noticed the special necklace Natasha gave me wasn't on my neck when i touched my neck, immediately i interrupted Lucia and Melisa..."Ermmh excuse me ladies please did you  guys happen to see any necklace on my neck when you found me ? I asked still touching my neck...I don't think we saw any necklace when we found you replied Lucia looking at my neck as if necklace was a strange word to her......"Seems like that necklace must be really important to you said Melisa, she also had the Mexican ascent....."Yes ma'am that necklace  was given to me by the love of my life and it has kept me going when am not with her  i said sadly, don't worry about that Chris am sure the love of your life is fine where ever she is just worry about getting better said Lucia with a little bit of rage in her voice, i noticed when i mentioned the love of my life Lucia had this sour look on her face....Lucia, don't be rude, i think you should excuse Chris and i  said Melisa , Lucia got up angrily and left the room, Immediately everyone in the room turned to face our direction, this time around i wasn't in the ICU anymore i had already been transfered to one of the wards and because they couldn't afford a private room for me we had to share the room with 4 other patients...."Am so sorry about my daughter's behaviour she can be like that a times especially when it comes to someone she loves dearly....   i don't understand what you mean by love dearly i said with a frown on my face ..."Well for the past 6months you have been here my daughter has been the one taking care of you and since then she has developed strong feelings for you, so please Mr Chris try not to hurt my daughter's feelings you are the first man she has fallen in love with, just in case you think she is still a kid because of her tender body she is not she is 23 and  i think she will be good enough for you said Melisa smiling....Melisa i'm already engaged and for the records i cant fall in love with your daughter because my heart belongs to someone else so please can we not talk about this anymore i said angrily, but what about my daughter don't you care about her feelings said Melisa sadly. Melisa please don't put me in this mess right now all i need right now from they both of you is your support so i'd be able to walk again and go back to Vegas

  Two days later i was discharged from the hospital, Lucia and Melisa took me to there home it was quite small but comfortable, i had my own room....i really felt dirty and smelly i haven't had a proper bath in ages..."Can i come in and help you with that yelled Lucia from behind the bathroom door, don't worry i can do this myself  i yelled back as i struggled to stand on one foot and have my bath, it was really difficult for me  cause i was in pain, after minutes of struggling to bath i was done...."you can use these clothes said Lucia giving me some fresh clothes to wear...thank you i replied using the clothes to cover my bare chest....you look really handsome plus you have a great body said Lucia coming close to me....Ermmh Lucia i think you should go now as you can see am standing on one foot and it really hurts so please leave so i can dress up i said moaning in pain....OK fine when you are done dinner is ready but if you don't mind i could help you dress up....Please just leave i can take care of myself i yelled angrily.........As we ate dinner Lucia kept staring at me, even though i didn't like the dinner they prepared i had no choice than to manage this was my first time of eating crab....Hope you are enjoying your meal said Melisa smiling, yeah sure this is a great meal i love it i replied grinning, seems like you don't like crab said Lucia smiling....well this is my first time eating it and am really not enjoying it i replied weakly..... Do you mind telling us about your family said Melisa  " the truth is am an orphan i grew up with my uncle according to what he told me he said my parents died when i was 3months old they were attacked and killed and since then i have been staying with my uncle, my uncle and Natasha are the only family i have in this world i said sadly, ermmh i think i should go to bed now am really exhausted and my leg really hurts thanks for the meal  i said.....we are so sorry for stressing you, Lucia please take him to his room said Melisa tidying up the table......i hated the look Lucia gave me when she laid me down on the bed she quickly pecked me on the lips and mumbled i love you, Lucia please don't love me my heart belongs to someone else i don't want to hurt you just give your love to someone else you are a beautiful young woman and am pretty sure all they men in mexico would be so glad to have you i said, am i not beautiful enough for you why don't you love me  said Lucia with tears in her eyes ......Lucia you are beautiful but i already love someone else don't you understand  am really weak right now can we please not talk about this anymore i need to sleep, immediately Lucia left the room angrily.
