The 52 seconds

Chapter 1

Ahh!! It pains . I whine d out  loud . The nirse who was stitching my wound comforted me by giving  an assuring smile . I  was a bit relieved . After she walked out of my room an old lady with fruit basket came in . I was a bit confused on who she was ? Why am I here ? And I how did I end up getting wounded ?
           While I was in middle of thoughts , I see this lady coming near me and holding my hand . That's when I felt a loud thud on my head . I screamed and scratched and pulled my hair and after some time I see the same old lady with the same gesture on her face with the fruit basket and slowly coming towards me and holding palm .

I was for a minute , completely traumatized on what just happened before and what was happening now. I asked her whether she came earlier , she looked at me in utter disbelief and shook her head in response . I asked her why I was here. She said that when she and her grandson was collecting firewood , they saw me and two men in black suit who were brutally bruised and laid down . They checked whether we were alive and found out that I was the only one left , as the rest of them had ceased breathing. When she tried to wake me up the only thing that came out my mouth was some mumbles of calling out for help to my mom . She ordered her grandson to hurry to the nearest village to call for some help. I was brought to the hospital by the village men and the lady stayed behind as I was left helpless in  this unknown place .She told me how ,I woke up slightly after taking in a vial or two of glucose . I suddenly started screaming and shrieking and calling out kunknown names .That's when the doctor rushed in and stuck me with another high dose of anaesthesia which knocked me out at the speed of thunder .That's when the doctor ordered her to bring some firsts because I was malnutritioned. That was the second time when I suddenly woke up witha screamand startled the old lady with the basket full of fruits .

I was currently listening to her bickering when an unknown husky voice creeped into my thoughts. That was when my eyes started getting blurry and I heard the voice say to me " ......son!! Run away from  here a-a-nd never come back .........."

That's when  I realised that it was just not an unknown voice but was of my long lost father .
"........run away d-d-dear ........" those were the last words I heard before blacking out completely .
