Your love gave me life
The Soul that Returns
Annabelle felt shocked as her soul drifted apart from Sarah's body. He could see her borrowed body being pushed over the gurney but strangely, Annabelle could not see who was pushing it.
Annabelle looked around. Still in the hospital, but why is no one visible to his neutrals.
Does this mean death has already picked him up ?
Annabelle felt a chill run through her entire body that was walking down the hospital floor without wearing footwear. Completely deserted, there was no one in sight at every corner he passed by.
His memory is not lost. While exiting the elevator, Annabelle saw many people sitting down and even held a mat in the waiting room for ICU patients. There were some nurses sitting in the nurses' station as well.
At a time like this, Annabelle hopes to meet a woman she never knew her face. Just like 99 days ago, he wanted to ask what would happen next ?
Annabelle continued her steps, trying to get close to the ICU door but she did not find it, even now she felt like she was walking in the middle of a labyrinth that did not know where the end was.
Annabelle crouched down and lowered her head between her two bent legs. It felt like crying from being in such an obscure realm.
The spirit of Annabelle ! Spirit ! Sarah had just fainted, so there was no way the time in the real world had changed by the day.
Annabelle got back up and walked down the street with a bright white light and a breeze that hit her face, flicking her shoulder-length hair.
Annabelle stopped at a closed door. His hand held the handle, but his heart hesitated to open the door.
Could that door be the boundary of the world and the afterlife ? Annabelle continues to struggle with confusing choices.
The atmosphere was suddenly silent and the sound of the wind suddenly disappeared but around him the bright light still dominated.
Annabelle was still standing at the door with her hand still holding the door handle. Suddenly there was a ticking clock that moved every second.
Annabelle turned her head to the right, in the direction the voice came from. Hours 11.15. Is time so fast passing in this obscure world ? It felt like just a few minutes ago Annabelle saw Sarah's body asleep in the gurney.
Finally with all his courage, his hand moved and pushed the door inward.
Annabelle was stunned when she saw her body lying on the bed with her eyes closed and the entire tool was still attached to her body.
Annabelle was alone, there was no one around.
Annabelle's memory is still pretty good. When entering the ICU room with Yudha, Annabelle was not alone, there were 3 other patients who were also lying in the room.
Suddenly an irregular sound came from the patient monitor but his soul could not see anyone helping his body.
Is this the time ? Just to get here lived an Annabelle.
Annabelle's soul felt drawn into a vortex invisible to her. His voice was so stifled that he could not scream for help. Annabelle felt her whole body being pulled deeper and deeper until she was finally able to close her eyes while praying that her soul would not be trapped in an obscure world.
🍀🍀🍀
Annabelle opened her eyes. Again the glare light makes his eyes narrow and then blink to adjust his vision with the room around him.
Annabelle tried to raise her hand, but her left hand could not move. A thing crushed him. I don't know what but it feels warm.
“Finally you are aware, Belle.”
The sound made Annabelle frown her forehead. Not daring to turn around because he believes that this is all hallucinations or maybe he has moved the world, into the realm of death.
“I'm glad that you finally came to your senses, Belle,” the voice was slightly choked, as if holding back her tightness.
His hand touched Annabelle's cheek. Warm. Annabelle frowned again while closing her eyes. It was impossible in the realm of death to still be able to feel such real warmth.
Slowly Annabelle ventured to open her eyes again and saw the face looking at her with a smile.
“I'm glad you came back to your senses, Belle,” he said back in a hoarse voice.
“Alden,”’desis Annabelle.
“Iya I'm Alden, Belle. I'm really worried because your condition dropped. And now it feels like my heart is relieved to see you open your eyes again.”
“Happy birthday, Belle,” Alden instantly kissed Annabelle's forehead making Belle's entire body stiffen.
Annabelle's head suddenly hurt until she groaned while holding both ends of her temple.
Alden let the doctors check on Annabelle. He picked up the phone while out of the room and contacted someone.
“Elo make sure he's in that apartment ?”
“…”
“Belle is awake. I'm so grateful that he went through his critical period last night.”
“….”
“Yes, thankyou Bro. Please tell me if there is something.”
“…”
After closing one call, Alden made two more calls informing her that Annabelle was conscious.
“Mr Alden,” a nurse called her from inside Annabelle's nursery. “Doctor wants to talk to you.”
Alden nodded and went into the room to see the senior doctor who approached him to get a little away from Annabelle's bed.
“The overall condition of her body is good, it's just that Miss Annabelle needs to undergo physiotherapy because she has been lying in a coma for quite a long time. Part of his body will definitely feel stiff and need therapy to smooth his blood circulation back.”
“Thank you, doctor,” Alden greets that doctor with a face sumringah. Happy to hear Annabelle is okay.
As per Annabelle's request, Alden was asked out because the nurses would help Annabelle clean up.
About 30 minutes two nurses came out of Annabelle's room and nodded their heads at Alden and the 4 others who had just arrived.
Alden opened the door and smiled as he saw Annabelle looking fresher while lying on the bed.
”Papa, mom,” face Annabelle instantly sparkle. “Om, Aunt ?”
The four parents approached Annabelle with happy faces.
“Finally you realize, baby,” mama Mira cries while hugging Annabelle. “Happy birthday, Belle.”
Annabelle also cried because she could again feel the warmth of her mother's embrace.
“Happy birthday, dear. It's good to see you regained consciousness. Papa has missed your kebawelan,” Papa Rano also changed to hug Annabelle and shed happy tears.
Likewise with Aunt Lanny and Om Wira feel happy and moved because Annabelle can return to her own body.
The happy atmosphere surrounded by a pair of doting parents makes Annabelle forget Alden until the man goes back into the room with a birthday cake complete with a lit candle.
Shamelessly, Alden greets Annabelle's happy birthday song.
“Blow the candle, do not forget to make a previous request,” Alden smiled as he brought the cake closer to Annabelle who immediately slammed it until the cake fell and fell apart on the floor.
“Belle !” peekik mama Mira who was beside him.
“You think after you've cursed my parents and made them bow at your feet, my heart will easily forget it !” annabelle's growl shocked both Belle and Alden's parents.
“I used to like you Alden Hutama, but I never forced my feelings on you, I never asked you to return my love. But what did you do to my parents ? You may swear an oath upon me and wish for my death, but I will never let others humble my parents. I hate you Alden ! Hates you so much!” Annabelle half shouted at the end of her sentence.
Alden took a few steps back, not expecting Annabelle to utter such hateful words.
“My parents will keep their promise to take me away from your life after I realize So don't worry this toxic will interfere with your life, Mr. Alden,” Annabelle continued in a repressive voice.
Papa Rano and Mama Mira exchanged glances because they did not understand Annabelle's attitude. How could his daughter, who was in a coma, know what happened that night ? No one else Annabelle has met but Alden.
There's no way Alden told Annabelle that.
“I'm sorry, Belle. Ii'm sorry. Please don't go away from me,” Alden shrieked with a pleading face.
Annabelle sighed while throwing her face. All he had in his memory right now was anger turning to resentment at the sight of his parents kneeling before Alden while the man cursed Annabelle, hoping that death would bring him back.
