"Doctor, is the result out already?" I asked, the moment the doctor walked into my room with an envelope in his hands."Oh, yes. It is." The doctor responded."But you said it wouldn't be ready until after a few days. How is it out already?" I inquired."Well, because of who you are, there was no reason to delay it any further. We got to work immediately and here it is." The doctor explained."Because of who I am? So, that means, if it was someone else, they would have to wait for a couple of days?" I asked."Most definitely." He replied."But that's not fair, I protested before my mum shut me up."Will you be quiet! You're complaining because your result is ready already. Don't you want to know what exactly is wrong with you?" She said as she hissed silently.Not that I didn't want to know what the result of the brain examination was, I really wanted to know but I was too scared to know what was in that envelope."What if it is something bad? What if I'm already going crazy truly? Wh
"What about them? Did something go wrong?" Damn! I won't forgive myself if something goes wrong, I should be by their side not idling away here." Sorin said, as he hurriedly got up, ready to leave the room, but Kelvin immediately stopped him."Please, calm down, sir. It's not something bad. I was told that they are now out of Coma. "Are you serious about what you're saying?" Sorin asked, with joy in his heart."Yes, sir. But sir, that is not the only news I have." Kelvin explained."What else do you have? Tell me. I'm in such a good mood already." Sorin asked, joyfully.Kelvin thought for a while before responding. He knew Sorin would not be too happy to hear what he had to say, but he was going to say it anyway.He paused for a moment, while Sorin looked at him, anticipating the news."So, I was also told that Mrs Andrea will be discharged tonight." Kelvin spoke in a rush before Sorin could stop him.Sorin stared angrily at him before speaking,"Have you lost your mind now?" "What
"Hi, ma'am. It's time to go. Are you ready?" Kelvin asked me as he walked close to my bed but I was too stunned to speak.Seeing that I didn't respond, he had to ask me again."Ma'am, Are you alright?"Mum came to the rescue and yelled my name and this brought me back to the present."Drea! Why are you so lost in thoughts? Don't you want to go home anymore?" She asked."Home?" I asked, and sighed. "There's no home." I said under my breath and it was inaudible, so she could not hear it but Kelvin heard it."What did you just say?" She asked me."Nothing." I replied. "I'm ready to go." I added, and I got up from bed.Mother looked at Father, who shrugged in confusion and they watched as I sluggishly walked to get my box."Don't worry, ma'am. I'll get that for you." Kelvin immediately said and picked up the box. He then walked to the door, opened it and led the way out of the room while my parents and I followed closely behind him."Ehmmm…Kelvin, how is Sorin doing now?" Mother asked, wh
"I'm sorry, ma'am." Sonia pleaded, holding her cheek that had been slapped."You're sorry? Are you fucking kidding me? You were supposed to ensure that nothing went wrong! I literally put you in charge, but what did you do? You ruined everything." Daisy yelled."I take responsibility, I'll get to the bottom of this." Daisy said."No way! I won't have that. I'll get to the bottom of all this by myself." Daisy said.Hearing this, Sonia immediately looked at her. She knew trouble was brewing and whoever was found responsible might not live to tell the tale."Please, ma'am." Sonia pleaded once again, but Daisy wasn't having it. She was furious and ready to get to the end of the matter, whatever it was going to take."Now, let's start from the top. Call out all the chefs, right now!" Daisy ordered, and Sonia ran off to call them.As Sonia stepped into the kitchen, all the chefs shook in fear. They had been eavesdropping all along and they knew that disaster was brewing. They began to panic
"I don't understand." The young chef answered."What do you mean by that? What do you mean, you don't understand?" Daisy asked her."She's not here. I'm confused." She replied."Are you kidding me? So all you said was just a lie? You made the story all up?" Daisy asked her. She was now getting furious."No, ma'am. I didn't make it up. It's the truth. I swear." The young chef said, with her voice now shaky."Oh! So you're trying to take me for a fool? How are we sure that you are not the culprit and you are just trying to make a fool out of us?" Daisy asked, while staring her dead in the eyes."Never!" She yelled. I would never do such a thing. I would never take you for a fool. Not in this lifetime and definitely not in another." She assured Daisy, who just scoffed and looked away.She was getting so scared because she wasn't sure of what Daisy's next line of action was going to be. She was sure of what she saw and what she heard, but the one whom she saw was nowhere to be found."The
We arrived back at the mansion after a few hours' drive, and as the gates opened, I sighed."Back to the invisible life!" I muttered, under my breath.I guess Kelvin heard me because he peeked at me through the front mirror.He parked the car in the garage and got out of it. I, on the other hand, was wowed by the number of cars there. Seeing the way I was looking around in amazement like a lost puppy, one would have thought that I was a stranger in the house.I had been living in the house for just a few months but I had never stepped out. Not because I wasn't allowed to go out, but because I had nowhere to go. Even if I was allowed to go out, where was I going to go in the area? Nowhere. So, I never thought about leaving the house.I still sat in the car, admiring all the other cars like I was lost in paradise when I heard a slight knock on the window.The knock drew my attention to him and it was at that moment that I realized that I ought to have alighted from the car."We are here
"I should speak to Kelvin about it. Maybe he can tell Sorin on my behalf. Who knows if he'll grant my request." I thought to myself, as I stared at the remaining food on the table, which would be thrown out the moment I got up from the table.I ate the rest of my food in silence as I schemed and planned for my next line of action.I was still in my thoughts when Kelvin walked in. He wore a black suit as usual and a black shirt underneath. The sound of his heels alerted me and I looked at him and he approached me."Just the person I need to see!" I thought to myself."Ma'am, I'm going to be on my way back to the hospital now." He said, as he got to me."Oh, okay. I almost forgot." I responded."But errrrrr…. I need to talk to you about something." I said, and he raised an eyebrow."What is that?" He asked me but I immediately changed my mind."You know what? Never mind, it can wait. I'll just tell you some other time." I immediately said, but he smiled."What if it's too late by then?
"Are you just going to keep staring at us?" Mrs Zaveri asked, concerned about her son, Sorin."Son, why are you looking at us that way?" Mr Zaveri asked."Yes, son. And you look so stressed too. What is the matter?" Mrs Zaveri added."I almost lost you both, mum. You don't expect me to act like nothing happened." Sorin said, with pain in his voice."Hmmmmmm…. But here we are now. We are not dead." His father said, but Sorin was quiet.He took a moment to take everything that had happened in, before proceeding to talk again."How are you doing now? Do you still feel pain? Do you feel any pain at all?" Sorin kept asking, impatiently."Sorin. Calm down, we're getting better. Isn't that right, darling?""Yes, that's right. Isn't it obvious? At least, I feel better than a couple of days ago." Mrs Zaveri said, as she smiled weakly."Please let me know if there's any problem, so I can tell the doctors to do something about it immediately.""No problem, son. The doctor says we only need to st
