Lost In Found 2 – You’re Awake

Hiya Folks!
Happy 2017 to you and yours once again! May the God lord bless you this year and forever in Jesus name, Amen!☺️?

Okay so, this year, I’m going back to the Storisodes! Yaay!!! I’m excited too! Lol! Remember when I shared with you all, the first character of what I hope would be my second book? (Click here if you missed it) Well, I’ve decided to release the rest of it every Tuesday! To that end, I present to you Lost In Found! ???

ENJOY!

Day 36
Subject still unconscious
External injuries healed
Scaring completely healed

Chudi: How she is?
Chidubem: The same way she was yesterday and the day before, and the day before tha-
Chudi: Guy I’ve heard!
Chidubem: Guy when will you give this up?? It’s been weeks and millions of Naira down the drain and for what?! She’s still out cold!

Dubs is right. I honestly don’t know what else to do. My patient is out cold with no signs of coming through anytime soon and I am running out of funds to keep her breathing. Moving her out of the hospital and into my place cut cost – I own a house in one of those luxury estates in Banana Island, so I have electricity 24/7 – but even with that, if I keep going at this rate, I’m going to go broke soon.

Chidubem: You need a deadline
Chudi: A deadline?
Chidubem: Yes, a deadline. Set a date and if she doesn’t come through by that date, I’m pulling the plug. Literally.
Chudi: What?
Chidubem: Look. I get it. You have a lot to prove and so much to lose but this is getting out of hand and someone has to save you from yourself before you lose it all! So pick a bloody date!

Fuck!

Meanwhile…

*Lady singing while mopping the room* What shall I sayyyyyy unto tha lord, all I have to say is thank you lord!

What is that noise? And why does my head feel like it’s under a pile of bricks?

Me: Hello?

Ugh. Is that me? Why do I sound like that? I try with all my might to open my eyes but it hurts.

Me: Please… Is anyone there..? The light… turn off the light… please…
Lady: JESUS! Madam! You don up? Make I call oga! Chai! Oga go happy!!
Me: Wait… Please… Don’t go. Where are you running to? Please turn off the lights…

I struggle all the way but eventually, I open my eyes enough take in my surroundings. I’m in a room I don’t recognize. There’s a large TV with a cable box and play station underneath. There’s a photo of a tiger on one side of the wall and on the other, a huge photo of the New York City without the twin tours.

Then I looked at my arms. I’m hooked to an IV and all kinds of machines. What the hell is going on? Where am I?

I flinch as two men run into the room.

Guy #1: I can’t believe it! You’re awake!

He pulls out he’s stethoscope and is about to put it on me

Me: What are you doing?! Who are you? Where am I?
Guy #2: You’re safe. You were in an accident… You’ve been receiving treatment here
Me: Axe..? Accident?
Guy #2: What’s the last thing you remember?
Me: Excuse me?
Guy #2 again: What year is it to you?
Me: 2013
Guy #2: Oh good
Me: What do you mean? Oh good?
Guy #1: It’s actually 2017
Me: What? Wait? I’m confused.

The first one with kinda eyes speaks

Guy #1: Don’t be scare. You were in an accident last month that affected your temporal lobe. You had 3 surgeries and have been in a coma since then. The hospital charges were becoming outrageous so you were moved here for better care and observation.
Me: I…?
Guy #1: Please relax.. You are safe. I promise
Me: So is this some kinda of rehab facility..?
Guy #1: Not exactly
Me: So where am I? And who are you?
Guy #2: You’re in my home, you have been for the past 15 days.
Me: Who are you? Where’d you bring me to this place? To your home? I want to leave… I need to leave now…
Guy #2: I’m your husband
Me: My..? My..? my…?

I was still trying to wrap my head around the idea when everything went black
