Awake


    RAYNE’S POV


    The streams of sunlight sipping through the slightly parted curtains shone brightly on my face, disturbing my sleep.


    I yawned hungrily and tiredly while stretching myself on the bed.


    “Rayne?” I heard someone calling.


    The voice sounded familiar but I couldn’t picture who it was.


    I tried to open my eyes but it felt like it was glued.


    Slowly slowly I opened my eyes and everything was a bit blurry in my sight.


    “She’s awake.” I heard iana’s voice.


    “ina.” I calledzily.


    “Rayne, stay right there, I’ll get the nurse!” Ann said and dashed out.


    “Thank goodness you’re awake.” ina said as she helped me up into a sitting position.


    “What’s going on?” I asked.


    I didn’t know what was happening, I tried to remember how I got here but it gave me a headache.


    “Ouuuuch.” I cried out in pain.


    “What is it?” ina panicked.


    “My head, it hurts.” I said.


    “Common, rest your head on the head rest,” she said and helped me rest my head.


    I was so weak and all my systems were weak too, I felt my own legs were too heavy for me to move. It was like I was drowning.


    “What’s happening to me ina?” I asked.


    “You’re okay Rayne.” She replied to me with a reassuring smile.


    I saw Ann walking in with a middle ageddy who was dressed in a nurse’s suit. She must be a nurse.


    “You’re awake.” The nurse said with a bright warm smile.


    “I’ll check her pulse.” she said.


    She took my hands and checked it.


    “She’s a bit stable now but she needs more rest, else she might lose the baby due to stress. I’ll advise her not to walk around a lot. She should be in bed everyday and should only get up when she wants to stretch her muscles.” The nurse said.


    I was confused, what was she talking about, why do I need to rest all day? I didn’t have answers for these questions so I had to ask her.


    “Why should I rest all day? I’m now strong enough to do anything.” I said.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    “My dear, you were in the water for so long, without breathing for long, it could have affected your baby. I wonder how this happened but it’s a miracle that your baby is still alive, so any little stress may harm the child due to its medical condition not being strong.” she exined.


    “Drown, drown, drown, drown, drown, drown!!!”  the word kept ringing a bell.


    But why would I drown, I didn’t remember falling into the water.


    “Sarah is such a physco, I can’t believe she tried to Eliminate an innocent child by drowning Rayne!” iana said.


    “And just like you asked Rayne, if I had a n on putting you in Coma, the answer is yes.”  Sarah’s words rang a bell in my ears.


    The sh of how she pushed me and I slipped and fell into the pool.


    I remember gasping for air before everything went nk.


    “Sarah.” I called calmly.


    “She tried to hurt me, but what did I do to her?” I said out loud my eyes filled with tears.


    I knew we had our differences but I never knew she would want to hurt me so bad.


    “A bitch is a bitch  Rayne.” ina said.


    “You’ve been unconscious for the past 3 days, I bet you must be hungry.” the nurse said.


    Was it that serious that I had been unconscious for 3 days.


    I couldn’t believe it yet till my stomach made a funny sound disrupting my thoughts.


    “I’ll go get you something to eat.” Ann said and got up.


    “Thank goodness you’re now alright.” Eliana said.


    “ina, why would Sarah try to take my life?” I asked ina soberly.


    “Heyy, you don’t have to worry about Sarah, I’ll take care of her.” ina said.


    “I hoped no one told Eric about this?” I asked quickly.


    “Not yet, but Ann ns on telling him once we get back tomorrow.” ina replied.


    “No one should tell him about this please and also about the pregnancy.” I said and Ann walked in.


    “Here, I brought you some pancakes.” Ann said and dropped the tray beside me.


    “Ann, Rayne suggest that we shouldn’t let her husband know about anything that happened.” ina said almost immediately Ann dropped the tray.


    “Why, Rayne, he has to know, he is the only one that can protect you from all of them.” Ann said.


    What does she mean by all of them, well that’s not what we were talking about.


    “Please Ann, I just want to keep everything from him now, maybe till when the baby is born.” I said with pleading eyes.


    “It’s okay, as long as it makes you happy, but once the baby is born you’ll tell him everything or I will.” she said.


    “And also no one should know that I’m pregnant, not even Eric, it should just be between the three of us.” I said.


    “This is hard but I’ll try.” Ann said.


    “Ann don’t spill it I wanna make it a surprise.” I said.


    “Ooo okay lover girl.” Ann joked and we allughed.


    I started eating and then decided to ask a question that has been bothering me.


    “So you think Bianca is using Sarah to get back at me for being with Eric?” I asked


    “Probably.” Ann said.


    “No I don’t think that’s the case here, see when Bianca came to visit I saw the sympathy in her eyes for you but Sarah there was so much hatred in her eyes she wasn’t sorry atall Bianca made her beg so I get the two of them are ying a different game.” Eaina said.


    I’ve always known her to be the smartest and the detective, she’s quick at detecting the innocent from guilt.


    “So what do you think Sarah is up to!?” I asked and we all stared at each other.


    “I guess we all have to find out.” iana said.
