Chapter 3 "Acceptance"

It's been 5 days since I came to this place or world or whatever it is...

And lying on this hospital bed not having anything to do.

These 5 days were enough for me to know that even though i slit my wrist and die, which i would never do, I might not be going back to my home...

They say that there are 5 stages for acceptance of any change

First stage - Denial!

At first when i woke up, i thought this was all a dream that my sleepy ass is having.

I was in complete denial that this is reality.

Second Stage - Shock!

Yeah right! Shock! The near heart stroke i got when i learned that this is not a hecking dream or even if it was a dream, it seemed that my lazy ass is so keen on playing the Sleeping Beauty deciding to never wake up in near future.

Third stage - Depression

I don't even want to recall that feeling... It feels like Shit knowing that you can't ever go back to your home! Like EVER! Just forget it...

Fourth stage - Experiment

Yeah right... When i woke up at hospital with all those 'family' around me, oh i forgot Sebastian was there too, I tried to swallow loads of sleeping pills i stole from the medics, but they made me puke the entire pills and trust me it was disgusting. They made sure that i puked everything i ate.. Ewww.

I tried to sleep peacefully and eventually wake up from this long ass dream but everytime i wake up the familiar hospital walls and the little girl lying on the couch of the room were the only things i see...

But I didn't stop my experiments, me being me, one fine morning dashed to the exit of the hospital with a bunch of nurses and doctors running after me.. I never ran that fast in my entire life (i hate PE) When i was finally out of the hospital I ran like my life depended on it onto the streets like a mad woman... But after running around for quite sometime all I saw was unknown places while getting weird looks from people who don't know why a woman was running around in her hospital gown without any footwear...

Finally realizing that I'm fucked senseless by the fate I sat on the road crying not knowing what to do....

Until i saw a several shoes in my sight, yes! It's my concerned 'Family' whom I probably met few days ago... Nice...

Loosing all hope i obediently followed them back to the hospital...

Fifth stage - Acceptance

Needless to say i stopped trying baseless things and i accepted the circus that is going on in my life...

I finally Admitted to my doctor the bestest excuse that one could come up with in this type of situation...

Yep! I Told them I lost my memories...

Fucking Intelligent, right!

Yes! I finally Accepted that My life's become a Joke! Wonderful...

I Am Medusa D'Cruz Now! 

"What are you thinking about So hard?" asked Sebastian in his dead panned, deep voice...

Ooohhhhh.... As i decided to finally accept the Joke which has become my life i started being happy that atleast I'm still alive..

Yes! At least I Am not dead!

It's hard but I'm trying to forget it all and start my new life..

If life gives you lemons make a lemonade...

That's exactly what I Am trying to do...

I shook my head clearing my thoughts as to not think about past again which only leads me to cry harder ......

"Nothing... Just normal things" i replied him with a smile..

Seb went on scrolling his phone as he was doing before.. This Guy here is just a fluff ball who just has a cold facade........

Other than Arya my newly acquired step sister he's the only one who visits me daily and keeps me company..

But whenever i say thank you this cold man just says that he's bored at home and I'm the best entertainment for him but the smile that threatens to appear on his face when i thank him gives off his cold vibes replacing it with a warm fluffy feeling..

Sebastian was about to say something but got cut off my the Doctor Who came to check on me and yeah it's my cue to smile ever so brightly with a look of dreaminess to my eyes...

This world is full of Dreamy and hot guys. I couldn't get a man in my real life atleast god gave me these eye candies to watch all the day long.

"Miss D'cruz how are you feeling today.. Better?"

He asked in his ever so sweet voice, the voice is exactly the same as i used to here through my phone except that it sounds like music listening him this close and that too face to face..

"Doctor Benedict..... "

I got up from the bed to greet him even though he everytime says not to but WHAT!

Do you expect me to just watch this world wide handsome and not touch when he's just in a footstep away.. Never! Kiara never misses the golden opportunities that will be thrown on her face...

"Doctor Ben my head is pounding... I'm feeling dizzy and nauseous.... "

With that I pretended to fall into the arms of the handsome Doctor Who stood there shocked looking at the pretence I'm putting on.

Sebastian scoffed at my 17th attempt to get close and touchy with the Doctor Who only looked like he was having constipation just by looking at the most unnatural fainting girl in front him...

And being the kind doctor he is Benedict gave in and held me by my arm, preventing me from having a disgraceful fall...

There was only one thought going on in the minds of both men

'She could've acted a little convincing' I could see that right on their faces. But do I care? No.

I internally squealed looking at my Plan being successful even though I know that the two men present were already aware of my child like plan.. Except that, one was super awkward not knowing what to do when a woman throws herself at him and the other one was sneering looking at the brainless act his cousin has put up..

"umm... Are you okay, Miss?"Benedict awkwardly went along with my act not wanting to embarrass me I guess. What a gentleman. Uff.

"Yeah, thank you so much Doctor Ben" I looked up at him brightly smiling completely forgetting that I was supposed to act weak..

"Hahah..thank goodness... Then I'll go send a nurse to check on you later.. Plz rest more" with that Ben scurried off away from me to escape the awkward moment.. Don't worry Benedict I'm not going to leave you. Umm did I sound scary?

"At least you could've acted a bit realistic... The pretentious fall of yours sucked for your information.

And please Can you stop making advances at him...It's embarrassing"

"What are you talking about Seb!?" I pasted a look of bewilderment and continued to pretend...

"Don't even think about saying nonsense... I saw it all. And do you know that you have to close your both eyes to pretend to faint and that you shouldn't be peeking with your one eye opened? You seriously suck"

"Tell me about the school i would be attending Next Week...

I don't even have a clue about it" It's better to change the topic.

"Sure I'll let your sucking acting skills slide...

So As tomorrow is Sunday there's no school you have a day off, and I'll be dropping you at your school on Monday ... No, actually I'll be taking you with me coz i requested my higher ups for being transferred to your school as basketball coach"

"It means that I'll be seeing you at school too.. Wowwwww."

"Stop with those dreamy eyes jut- Forget it, coming to the topic again, yeah I don't wanna leave you all alone by yourself ...at least not after what had happened at your school which made you lie here in the hospital right now"

Instant warmth spread through my body watching the man showing sincere concern.

I used to be an orphan but look at me now I have a Father, Mom even though step, and a cute little step sister, also last but not least a loving and caring cousin - well even though it's Seb...

This family never forgot to visit me often during my stay in the hospital not to mention how tired I got to console Mr. Min and step sister....

Mrs.D'cruz and Mr.D'cruz blamed themselves for everything that happened to me and kept on apologising to me for everything I had been through... The Medusa in the fanfiction had such a loving family yet she didn't embrace them with a loving smile and kept on a being cold to them..

Suddenly my train of thoughts stopped at the loud bang of the room door which was kicked open by her little bubbly Chubby step sister, Arya..

"Meddiee......." the girl squealed and came like a dashing bullet aiming for my arms....

I smiled looking at the small goof ball... Why the hell is this little girl so cute... Honestly I made many efforts to improve our relationship...

Sure, the little girl loves and admires her elder sister but she was always ignored and got cold treatment. I don't want her to feel lonely, because I know how it would feel.

When I first opened my eyes 5 days ago lying on the hospital bed I saw that there's a little fluffy ball holding my legs while sleeping cutely on the chair beside the bed...

Who doesn't love a beautiful and cute scenery...

I immediately melted at the site of the little girl holding my legs as if it were her life...

My Heart hurt when I saw the dried trail of tears on the little girl's face.

The little girl slowly opened her eyes waking up from her small nap and stared at her now woke up Elder sister .. Yeps that's me.

"Meddieee ....." the little girl wanted to hug me that time but I guess she knows better... Her sister, more precisely step sister, hates her..

No matter what she did, her elder sister always ignored her as if she didn't even exist.. But I'm not that Medusa, I Am kiara.

Even then, the little Arya always looked up to Medusa..

Medusa was her favorite person, role model and everything..

And Arya always tried to imitate Medusa and waited to get praised, but Medusa always would walk past her, ignore her and treat her coldly.

Children are simple minded they cry easily and forget about the same thing after few minutes...

Arya only knows that her sister, Medusa, dislikes her for something she didn't know.

But still she likes her only elder sister..

Such a pure hearted sweetie was Arya... She was an Angel....

Looking at the little girl, I smiled gently not knowing what it did to little Arya...

Arya's face lit up like a bulb knowing that I finally woke up... But she was even more happy that her cold sister smiled!

HER SISTER SMILED AT HER!! I can read her thoughts by her face.

"Meddieee... You woke up, how are you feeling, are you ok? "

Arya asked.

As soon as I heard Arya I instantly recalled what happened to the girl named Arya in the fanfiction...

Coz only Arya used to call Medusa as Meddieee in the entire story...

Arya is the most pitiful character I ever came across till then..

'NO Fucking Way!!

This Cute furr ball had that kind of tragic death! WHY THE HECK ARE YOU SO CRUEL AUTHOR!!'

I cursed the author for the nth time in my mind...

"Mediee... I'm sorry! I shouldn't have--"

"Arya, I'm sorry... I'll be a good sister from now on" I said interrupting her apology and tackled her into a long bear hug. The shocked yet silly smile on the little girls face made me laugh though ...

From then on Arya visited me everyday and together we built a healthy relationship with each other just like every other siblings....

This day too with no exception Arya visited as usual...

"Heyyy, my favorite little sister"

I greeted the little cannon ball that was rushing towards me with open arms...

"Meddieee tomorrow you'll be discharged aren't you excited... You can finally leave this place and finally come back home.. We can play daily"

Arya said with her usual excited and cute voice..

I giggled looking at the little girl....

Seb too smiled looking at us, two cousins chatting happily with each other...

"It's good that you changed for better...." he said smiling at us.

"Yeah....umm, thanks maybe" I answered not knowing what to say to him..

What change! I'm a total different person Okay!!

After the little Arya slept in my arms tired....

Sebastian began talking the serious matter that has been bugging his mind since long...

"Soo.... You'll go next week to school again, are you planning on chasing that Bunny again?"

"What?" I asked not knowing why yoongi brought up that topic again...

"Medusa it's not like I'm lecturing OR controlling you... Just think for a bit with a calm mind.. It's better for you to let him go, he already told you that he's in a relationship. You'll only hurt yourself going after him"

"I'll do as you say Sebbie" I said not knowing what he is talking about..

"I told you not to call me by that nickname! How the heck did you come up with such a cheesy thing!?" Seb changed the topic as he clearly knew with the look on my face that I clearly didn't know what he's talking about.

"I'm excited for the school.... "

"Considering the commotion you caused that day and your Rude attitude you used to put up before... I don't think you should be excited about going to school"

Well I totally forgot about the disaster damnnnnnnnn
