MOMENT

AFTER TEE LEFT, I HAD SOMETHING TO EAT AND THEN I JUST LIED ON THE BED, THINKING ABOUT MY LIFE FROM AS FAR AS I COULD REMEMBER. IT'S FUNNY HOW ALL THOSE MOMENTS LED ME TO THIS SPECIFIC MOMENT TODAY.
THE PAIN BEGAN BEING A LITTLE BIT INTENSE BUT I COULD STILL TOLE IT. I DECIDED TO TAKE A WALK AROUND THE HOSPITAL AND SEE MY SURROUNDINGS. THE HOSPITAL WAS LOCATED JUST BESIDE A ROAD. OPPOSITE THE HOSPITAL THERE WAS A CLUB. AS I STOOD AT THE BALCONY, I SAW HOW PEOPLE WERE PARTYING AND ENJOYING THEMSELVES. IT TAUGHT ME THAT LIFE IS JUST THE MOMENTS WE SPEND TOGETHER.
I WENT BACK TO THE BED TO SEE IF I COULD GET SOME SLEEP, BUT I COULDNT. SO I BOUGHT SOME DATA AND STARTED BROWSING THE NET. WHENEVER I'M DOWN MY MAIN TOPIC OF INTEREST IS ASTROLOGY. I JUST LOVE IT, PLUS EVERYTIME I LEARN SOMETHING NEW.
AS I WAS BROWSING, AROUND 9PM, MY MUM CALLED ME, SHE ALWAYS CALLED ME TO ASK SOMETHING. IT WAS RARE FOR HER TO JUST CALL AND ASK HOW I WAS DOING. I PICKED UP THE CALL.
"HEY, CHI HOW ARE YOU DOING?" I THOUGHT TO MYSELF THIS IS STRANGE
"IM FINE MUM, HOW IS EVERYONE AT HOME?"
"THEY ARE ALL FINE, ARE YOU SICK?" SHE ASKED ME, I PANICKED AND THOUGHT HOW DID YOU KNOW, BUT, MOTHERS KNOW EVERYTHING.
"NO I AM NOT SICK, WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?" OF COURSE, I HAD TO LIE, WHAT ELSE COULD I HAVE TOLD HER.
"THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR VOICE"
"ITS BECAUSE WHEN YOU CALLED I WAS ALREADY ASLEEP."
"OOHH OKAY, ANYWAY HOW DO YOU SEND A PICTURE USING WHATSAPP?" I SMILED TO MYSELF AND THOUGHT YEAH, THAT MUST BE THE REASON WHY YOU CALLED. SO I TOLD HER AND WHEN WE WERE DONE, WE SAID OUR GOODBYES AND SHE HUNG UP.
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, IF I DIE IN THIS HOSPITAL TONIGHT, WHAT WOULD SHE SAY??
I PUSHED THAT THOUGHT TO THE FAR CORNER OF MY MIND AND FOCUSED ON THE PAIN, IT WAS NOW BECOMING UNBEARABLE. IT FELT LIKE DEATH WAS PINCHING ME SLOWLY.
I CONSIDER MYSELF A STRONG PERSON, I COULD TOLERATE ANYTHING, BUT THIS PAIN, IT WAS BECOMING UNBEARABLE.
