Chapter 1 Waking up

Pain, thirst, tiredness everything is stopping him to walk forward but he still didn’t stop. He tried his best to walk through the corridor in search of a door. He didn’t see anything else other than the white walls on both sides. Why this path is too long why it is not ending he thought. He fell down but he struggled and get up with the help of walls. The pain slowed him down but he didn’t stop. His breath becomes heavy due to how much struggle he is putting to just move an inch forward but he still didn’t stop. He searched and searched until he saw two doors.

He fell down on the floor due to exhaustion and looked up in confusion. With his blurry eyes he can stared the two doors,

‘ I was searching for one why there is two?’ He thought.

He want to get out of this damn place. The pain in his body is unbearable. He can’t hold on like this. If this goes on he will lose his mind. When he trapped on this place? He don’t know. How much time passed after he is trapped?, he don’t know. Why he is here,? He don’t know. He can’t remember anything other than these white walls and unbearable pain on his body. He felt his throat is dry like he didn’t had any water for a long time. Yes that’s true when he last consumed anything? he didn’t remember. How he is alive like this? He don’t know. He only know one thing, He need to get out of this place as soon as possible. In the dim light he stood in front of the two doors in confusion. At last he chose one door at the left and open it. Bright light from the other side almost blinded him. He closed his eyes tightly then try to open it slowly to get adjust by the blinding light.

Beep beep beeeeeep. Some weird sounds rang around him. He felt like his ear drums are about to bust. How long it is been he last hear a sound? He scrunched his brows together.

“ Doctor look his eyes are moving like he is trying to open his eyes.” A female voice shouted.

“ Look he is scrunching his brows” Another excited female voice said.

‘ Who is this? I never heard this voice. Why she is shouting' He thought.

“ Oh no. His blood pressure is increasing. Nurse give him the injection now” A male voice orders. It is an anxious voice.

‘ I know this voice, I heard this voice but where? Why his head is throbbing with pain?’ he thought. He tried his best to open his eyes and then slowly opened it after several times of struggle. He blinked a few times to get adjusted with the light in the room. May be he was stuck in a corridor with dim light for a long time it is too much painful for him to get adjusted with the light. After he completely opened them he scanned his surroundings.

White walls, the smell of disinfectant, beeping sound of machines, white uniformed doctors and a number of nurses with different equipment in their hands. Everything is blurry bit he understood one thing that is, he is in a hospital now. He searched for familiar faces but everything was too blurry the voices are not too clear. He struggled to say something but he couldn’t utter any word. He tried to get up but he couldn’t even move a little finger.

He is Sam Jacob, the famous neurologist of the country who got many awards for his great contributions to the mankind. He is also own several multi speciality hospitals and the son of a rich business man Edward Jacob. But why he is now lying on this bed helplessly. Why he was trapped on that white walled corridor? Why he is having such an unbearable pain on his head when he is trying to find out what is happening. While he is trying to find out he felt q slight pain on his left hand like someone injected him with something and he fell in to the world of darkness.

“ Mrs. Jacob now we have at least some hope, after two years of waiting Mr. Jacob shown a sign of recovery. Be brave. Soon everything will be all right” Doctor said to a girl who is standing there expressionless.

“ Amy darling everything will be alright soon. Don’t worry. He will be fine soon” Lilly Jacob said.

“ I know mother” Amanda Jacob said in a dry voice. She had no expression on her face. She is a breath taking beauty with ocean blue eyes and golden hair. Her eyes are devoid of any emotion. There is no hint of sadness or happiness. After what happened two years ago, she is like this. She is like a living corpse. She barely speaks to any other person.

“ Tristan how is my son now? It is the first time he show any sign of waking up after a long sleep. He was lying there for two years. Je was oblivious of his brother’s death. He was oblivious of the struggle Amy is going through. He was oblivious of the fact that he is in coma for a very long time.” Edward Jacob said to Tristan.

“ I know sir. You don’t have to worry. He is a fighter. He is fighting for his life for last two years and finally he won. He will become normal soon. Just give him some more time. We all are waited too long for him to wake up. A little more wait and everything will be ok” Tristan said.

Tristan looked at Amanda who is sitting there like a rock. She didn’t show any emotion, she is like a corpse. She know her husband is going to wake up soon but she is still sitting there absent minded. He know why she is like this but he can’t voice it out.
