My Messiah :Love in Damascus - Episode 23

 

October had gone perfectly with so much fun and no worries. October is the best month in my life. I had kissed her, we had become more closer, it seems she had forgotten about the kiss but it was still in my brain. Me kissing her at the Trevor's garden is not something that could be erased so easily in my memory. Such a wonderful moment was suppose to remain forever.

November was also going smoothly and fine, she had told me her birthday date and it had stick to my head like a glue . '15th of December', I began to anticipate the day. It would be the first birthday she and I would celebrate together. So I was waiting eagerly for it.

The Wall of Jericho of my heart began to fall on the 27th of November,2009. It was on Friday, it was a day I would never forget. We were having chemistry class, so Mr harry our chemistry lecturer asked her to run round the hall five times and then retire back to her sit. I became so angry, the man was always getting on my nerves.

'How can he embarrass her like that just because she was sleeping in his class' I thought. Though she was one of his favourite students guess that was why he could notice her on time cause she wasn't the only one sleeping in the class.

But she obediently stood up and began her quest, my head suddenly began to pound where I was. It was like I should get a revolver and gun the man down

. I couldn't look at her face because my heart hurt to see her that way. At the other end, I began to think about it carefully. She wasn't the sleepy type but seeing her sleep in class was very odd. Chemistry as that, that was her favourite so it became odd to me.

I began to think whether she was sick but she can't be, we had played together last night at the brainies hostel. We had visited the brainies yesterday after school so we stayed there till very late at night, so I drove her home and I hadn't seen anything strange. So I drop the course of her being sick but I still don't understand what actually happened.

So when she was through with the marathon, the lecturer asked her to run to the front. My head had began dangling, so I flared up where I was seated. And as the good girl again, she ran to the front. She was very tired, she was panting and it was very obvious. She bent down and began to breathe loudly like she was finding it so difficult to catch her breath. 

Suddenly, she fell down in front of the whole class. I dashed to the front in seconds and suddenly realizing my running talent just like the DC comics superhero 'FLASH'. I didn't know that the Brainies were also following me, as I got to her side. I carried her head with my left hand and I placed my head on her chest. When I realized she was still breathing, I felt great relief. 

So with the help of some guys we lifted her up and I ran towards my car to get it closer to the class. So as she was placed at the back seat, some few people accompanied me. I drove like a drunk driver, I was in full speed exceeding the speed limit permitted within the school premises but I didn't care. This was a case of life and death so I don't care being penalized later but right now I had fulfilled my desire.

So within five minutes, I was already at the school health center. I shouted like a mad dog just to alert the nurses. Soon they came out rushing and carried her inside. She was taking to the ETR. So I was not allowed in there, I sat on the bench outside the ETR. Soon our course mate began to appear, they were not allowed inside too so they joined me and sat on the bench.

We sat there waiting for the doctor to come out but no one came out. I began to wonder what was taking them so long. I became so scared cause I can't bear the thought of losing her. So my teeth began to grind together, it was a crazy moment. Brandon saw this, he discovered I wasn't myself so he told me to go to class.

"All will be well" he said "maybe she was just dizzy, that was why she fainted" he added and I became partially convinced. So I stood up and left there, I seriously needed it. I need a very ventilated place, I needed air. It was already getting stuffy, so I needed air. My mind was still not at rest as I drove back to class.

On getting there, the class had become so disorganized. I could hear some group gossiping whether she was pregnant. A guy even approached me and congratulated me, I seriously didn't understand at first but I suddenly began to relate things. They had all concluded that she was pregnant. A lady even said she saw her throwing up three days ago. I became so shocked at what they were all saying.

"You had planned it well" another guy said "we only have a year and some month left in school. Great planning" he added

I had wanted to hit him but I remained calmed and took a seat at the back where I began to remunerate on what actually happened. Some girls two rows ahead were also gossiping. My ear opened wide to what they were saying.

"Can't you see she had a swollen face?" She had told the other girl.

That was true, she had a swollen face. I had asked her about it, I thought she hadn't been sleeping well but she said its nothing. Suspicion began to grow in my mind, I seriously couldn't believe it but if it was through. Then I was just a fool to her, cause we have never had sex. I had only kissed her once, even when I had planned on kissing her some weeks ago, we got interrupted by a knock to her door. So how come she was pregnant.

'No wonder she always cry when I talk about love' I wondered. Was it that she love me but has a guy she was dating. I have never seen a guy with her or discovered anything suspicious. My mind became so puzzled and I couldn't solve the puzzle.

So I stood up after I was done listening to all those gossip and went back to the health center for that is the only place my answer is, not here with all this gossipers. On getting to the health center, I couldn't see any of our course mate anymore. They had all left. So I sighted a nurse and approached her.

"How is she?" I asked the nurse who was on motion

"Who?" She said so absentmindedly

"The lady that was brought here few hours ago"

"Oh that girl" she said and my heart began to race.

Girl? Lady? Which ever one she calls her I wasn't ready to protest.

. She should just tell me how she is now. I wanted to know what actually happened to her. So I stood still waiting for the good news and not the bad news.

"She had been transfered to the state hospital" the nurse continued

"State what!" I screamed. I didn't know I had alerted the other nurses around. So they all told me to stop shouting but I didn't care cause my environment had become null. 

It was like I was the only one in the whole space. I thought what happened to her wasn't serious, even though she was pregnant. The health center could take care of that cause they only refer cases beyond their capability to the state hospital. I began very scared this time. So I dashed out of the health center running towards my car. I even passed beside the brainies but I didn't know. All what I could think of at the moment was getting to the state hospital.
