#15.... I woke up ndiphandlwa zilights, my head was throbbing, ndazama uphakama but my body ached like hell... ubuhlungu ndawo yonke vha...I looked around ndabona ba I was in hospital... but what happened?...why am I here?? I wondered because I couldnt remember anything... A white guy wearing a white coat appeared out of nowhere...he had a huge smile on his face wandidika immediately... Him: Youre finally awake, welcome back to the real world Me: How... long ...was... I... out... for? it was hard to speak, my throat was dry. Him: 3 days, youve been in and out of the coma, your parents are very worried Me: Water... He grabbed a glass wandigalelela amanzi wafaka istraw...he helped me up and helped me drink... Me: What happened? Why am I here? And who are you? Him: Im your Doctor, Doctor Jacobs, you tried to commit suicide, you drank a lot of pills and we had to pump your stomach...Your mother says she found you unconscious...if she had been five minutes late...you would be dead. You are very lucky. Everything came back to me, the rape, the pills...yavela yabuya yonke...I started sobbing...why didnt I just die?? Why did I survive? The doctor looked confused and tried his best to comfort me... Him: Listen Miss...whatever it is it cant be that bad. I could recommend you to our Therapist should need someone to talk to. Obviously the Man upstairs couldnt let you die. You should count your lucky stars. I wiped my tears away... Me: Where are my parents? Him: Theyll come during visiting hours. Theyve been here ever since they brought you in. so I told them to go home and rest. Do you want something to eat? Me: No thanks. Id like to sleep. Him: Let me leave you to it. I slept for a few hours, ndavuka and my parents were next to my bed. One on each side. ..They were so happy to see me awake... Mama wandi hugga...Ow umntanam she started crying Me: uyandifuthanisela mama... She quickly let go of me and wiped my tears away. Dad: Uyenzelentoni lento uyenzileyo? Me: Im not ready to talk about it. .. Mom quickly changed the subject I brought you some food xa ulambile utye Me: Ndilambile ngoku Her: ok yima mntanam. She took out a yoghurt wandityisa until I finished....endincokolela about everything I missed out on at home...visiting hours were over and they had to go. They both kissed me goodbye bahamba and I went to sleep again. I stayed at the hospital for three more days then ugqirha discharged me...Mom and Dad came to pick me up....Doctor gave me strict instructions to take it easy he said...I dont ever want to see you here again I decided not to take him up on his offer about the Therapist. I figured Ill be fine by myself wethu... My parents never asked about why I tried to kill myself again qha they treated me like an egg.... my family and people from church bebekhe bayondbona esibhedlele nabo...it was nice. School was reopening the following week, the Matric results were already out and bendifuna iphepha ndizojonga uZizi ba upasile na...I hadnt heard anything from him yet...worse he said hed be back before the matric results came out.. inoba ubuyile kodwa but hes probably busy with stuff... I asked my Mom andifunele elaphepha leMatric results... I told her ndfuna ujonga some of the kids bezifunda u10 pha esikolweni. ..she came back from work eliphethe iphepha nyhan and she gave it to me...I looked through ndakhangela iKhwezi Lomso ephepheni ..I found it ndakhangela uLuyanda Plaatjies kengoku...I browsed ndayofika kooP...and there he was and upase ngeDistinction... Congratulations Mntuwam :)
