Chapter 31
Alina's POV
I felt very weak after meeting with my boss and getting a really surprising explanation. I have no reason to stay here anymore other than deciding to get out of here. I got up and stood from my seat facing my boss. Then walk towards the exit of this room and continue out of this shop. Feeling not okay now. I'm confused about which way to go. I can only surrender and mourn my truly very unfortunate fate.
I walked along the sidewalk after leaving the cake shop. Feeling impossible now I went home. Because this will be very problematic for my uncle and aunt. After them found out I was expelled from school and now fired from my job. Surely my aunt and uncle will be very disappointed in me, even more than that. I felt really confused and didn't have a definite direction. Stepping with a body that is sluggish and limp. Not walking with a life that is truly perfectly collected.
Until suddenly an unexpected event just happened. I feel like I barely remember anything after this happened.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaa." spontaneously shouted.
Bang.
The sound of the car hitting my body was unceremonious and unexpected. I couldn't avoid it when I was about to cross, suddenly a car at high speed grabbed my body so that I was thrown several meters from the position where I had crossed earlier. Now I started to wake up and I found those around me crowding me.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"Let's take this lady to the hospital immediately so she can be treated quickly. I can see that she is seriously injured."
"Okay, let's just take she now. After that we will find out her identity and call her family. Because no one is responsible for paying for her in the hospital apart from her family."
"Yes, immediately call an ambulance to come here immediately!"
"Miss, are you still conscious and can hear our voices?"
"Miss?" While shaking my body which was lying weak and helpless.
"Miss, what's your name?"
I couldn't answer and it was even difficult to move my lips. Feeling unable to interact with anyone. Just feeling numb after the quite violent incident earlier. My serious wounds were not felt at all. I could only hear sounds around me and see with a blurry vision without being able to respond.
There was the sound of an ambulance approaching. I wasn't able to do anything. My body is now being carried and lifted to get into the ambulance. Until I was in the ambulance, I didn't remember anything because it seemed like I had fainted because I was holding back all the suffering I was experiencing. Instantly I found myself on the walking platform and being pushed by the nurse towards a room. I felt my temples wet like I was bleeding. I can't be sure at all about my current situation. I really lost control and couldn't do anything other than surrender to my weak lying condition.
I saw two people who escorted me to the room. Two people I had seen from several people who had helped me on the road when I had just been hit. Now there are only me and a nurse in the room. I started having IV equipment installed and other things which now help my condition so that I don't get too weak. I was very short of breath and had no hope in my mind other than lying in this almost empty vision.
Instantly my mind drifted to the death that would come to me today. I started to wander imagining how happy my childhood would be with my parents. I started to feel like I was hallucinating and my thoughts were flying everywhere. Maybe this is the effect of unbearable pain and it is too painful to feel.
"Miss, I will put in an IV. Miss, hold your breath, relax your body so it doesn't hurt when I insert the needle." Said the nurse who was now accompanying me in this room.
She then started sticking needles into my veins in my hand. I already feel numb. This needle prick is nothing compared to my wound. Even less than the problem I'm currently facing.
"Okay Miss, I'll go out for a moment, then the doctor will come into this room."
I was left alone in this room. Then I closed my eyes. Until the doctor came to examine me. I only surrendered when I was examined by the doctor.
"Excuse me." The doctor comes into this room.
I didn't answer him and let him into this room.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I'll just check on you for a moment.”
I nodded while smiling slightly.
After finishing examining me, the doctor immediately gave me permission to leave and invited me to go back to rest.
"Now please go back to rest, Miss, you should be treated here for a few days until you fully recover, that's my advice."
"Yeah doc." My body still feels weak, but it's a bit better than before.
My mind almost drifted to a sense of despair. It would be better for me to just die than to have to endure this gray feeling and I don't know how my life will continue after I can be released from the hospital after recovering.
Immediately I felt sleepy after the nurse gave me medicine and I drank it. Of the drug variants, there are antibiotics that function to relieve pain temporarily. The effect is to make you sleepy. Until I fell asleep in my long sleep.
I began to realize that it was already night, as seen from the window in this room where the curtains were not closed. I seemed to be on the top floor of who knows what floor. Because I saw tall and towering buildings from this room behind the window.
Instantly I closed my eyes again because I felt lonely. It turns out my uncle and aunt haven't come here yet. Either they don't know because no one has told them. Or they deliberately didn't come here to see me because they were still very annoyed with me or maybe they didn't have much money to pay for my treatment here. I, who still felt very weak from the effects of the medicine, finally closed my eyes again.
When I closed my eyes for a few minutes, I suddenly felt something strange around me. I heard a strange sound clearly and it seemed like someone was there because I heard and felt breathing. I immediately opened both my eyes at once and it was…
"Aaaaaaaaa." I spontaneously screamed because I was so shocked. I was shocked beyond belief and felt automatically very afraid.
"Sutttttt... Don't be noisy!" He covered my mouth with his index finger.
