My Messiah :Love in Damascus - Episode 20

 

It's been two weeks after the incident, I hadn't talk to her. My heart began to melt gradually, my parent were forced to come and pick me from school because I had become so ill, guess I was just a fool in love. A sickness I only knew the cure, all the injections and medicines won't work on me until I see Sasha.

Danny had come visiting me once and had promised to always stay in touch. I was losing my humanity, I was already becoming a fool but nobody seems to understand the root of my problem, so I imagine how they would get the cure.

I laid on the sick bed wishing everyday for a week that Sasha would appear like she always does in my dreams . I couldn't withstand the pain I was in anymore. Its been almost a month since I have last heard from her. I felt like I was going to die. I never knew I was this madly in love with her, her love have clouded all my memory and thoughts. Something that has never happened to me when I was dating Melissa. My parent got so fed up, I could see frustration in the doctor's eyes, he had diagnosed me with typhoid and had treated it but I didn't get better. 

I could see that he was really puzzled, so he ordered the nurse to pass drip into me. I felt so sad when I saw my sister's sad face

. I had wished I could get well but I just couldn't. Eva was crying and I cried also seeing tears dropping down her cheek. She had thought her big brother would die. I also don't know where my fate lies, I was not sure whether I would survive it without seeing her, without holding Sasha hand but I kept fighting the pain.

I was sleeping when i heard Danny voice, he was shaking me gently. So I opened my eyes, it was Danny with some company.

"Brandon" I whispered "Ethan, David, Morris" it was the brainies, they had come to visit me. 'But where is she? This particular girl that made me like this, where is she?' I thought.

Suddenly, the door opened slowly. I knew someone entered but I don't just know who. I thought it was the nurse, then it is time for my afternoon pills.

"Joseph" a voice called

I nearly became mad, that familiar voice, that same voice that makes my head swell. I suddenly thought I was hallucinating but hell No! I wasn't. It was Sasha, the same person that put me in this state.

"Sasha" I said silently "is that really you?"

"Yes, it is me" she said and I could see tears dropping from her eyes "what happened to you? What made you like this? You have become so lean"

I was surprised at all her questions, how dare she ask me that question? She had made me like this, she was the cause of my predicament and she just pretend not to know.

"You know what made me like this" I said with a shaky voice as if tears was about to drop but I held back. She looked at me so puzzled as if she knew nothing about my ailment. "It was you. You made me like this" I said and the whole chattering stopped, the whole ward became silent. I could see the reactions on everyone face but I didn't care.

. So they all excused us and went out.

"Since the day you walked out of my apartment, my sickness had began, I haven't been myself since then" I said

She was surprised at what made me ill but it was the truth. She sat on the bed and held my hand.

"I don't know what to say" she said after a minute of silence "but the best thing for both of us is for you to get well"

"I will, only if you do what is right. I know you understand what I mean"

"Joseph, don't let us start with that today" she said with a cozy smile "get well first and we will discuss other issues"

"I am already well and okay" I said "me seeing you by my side had healed me"

She smiled again and this time her dimples were visible "you are a clown Joseph"

I only smiled, I had never thought I would see her beside me again.

"What took you so long before you came visiting?" I asked out of curiosity

"I had gone to your apartment so many times but the door was locked and I became worried. I kept on checking but you weren't there and I thought you had moved out of that place but when I didn't see you in school. So I remembered Daniel, I looked for Daniel in class and asked about you. He told me you were ill and was admitted to the hospital" she explained

"...but what of the brainies? How come they are here?" I asked 

"The brainies told me their version of the story and I related it to yours, they said you started the war and you betrayed them but not to worry, I had begged them on your behalf. So when I told them what I heard about your state of health, so they decided to come with me"

Tears suddenly began to roll down my eyes, I had never thought i and the brainies would ever reconcile but she had made it happened. It even made me love her the more. She walking into my life wasn't a chance, it was fate. We were destined together, I had done my part, so its left for her to fulfill her own part by accepting my love and let our destined love work. My Messiah is back and this time for good.
