Advertisement
It's been two days past now but no improvement on the situation of Mr silva family, his wife and child has been in a coma for the past two days, he hasn't returned home yet but the other members of the family has all gone. He was all left alone walking to-and- fro like a mad man who has no direction. The only thing he had on his stomach was the burger he ate about four hours ago which he didn't finish because of the pain and trouble in his heart. His thinking had gone wild, he could see an advert in a billboard close to the hospital it was advertising a soap brand that can cure any skin problem, he coughed and said " they keep on telling lies to promote their brand". He was a very intelligent man who studied philosophy and eventually a "philosopher", he had troubles about believing and trust which he called "incertitude", he always tell people he's incertitude about anything he doubts about.
He sat down at a chair,he was all alone left thinking about what was happening, when someone came and touched him, in shock he looked up to see who it was, but his vision wasn't clear cause the girl was standing at the point of the sun which reflected on her face and the reflection caused donald's father not to see her properly. The scene looks as if it was a movie but in real it wasn't slow but fast,he stood up to see the face clearly, he saw the white caucasian girl again smiling at him, he's mood did change for he believed ever since he saw her, she was a miracle to him. He was in complete oblivion, the girl was wondering what was happening then she snapped her finger, immediately he came back to his senses, the oblivion was Ephemeral, in smile he asked her "how are you?" She replied in the same Mellifluous voice "I'm doing great". Donald's father wasn't shocked this time around because he has already gotten used to her beautiful and smooth voice already.
He asked her " what are you doing here"?, She said "well you did know my name, so luckily I met you here today, I want to know your name", he smiled and said you can call me "SILVA", in smile she nodded her head as a positive sign of saying ok then she told him "I'm on duty now, hope to see you around later" donald's father quickly said " don't hope to see me later, me, I want to see you and have a chat with you when you are done", she then agreed and they decided to meet at his wife's ward.

Three hours later, Linda was through with her duty she remembered she has to have a chat with donald's dad and eventually met up with him at the agreed place. She walked up to the ward and knocked, donald's father had seen her face through the window and allowed her in. She saw him weeping at his wife's hand holding it up to his mouth and kissing her hand, Linda walked up to him and put her hands on his shoulder and told him not to worry that everything is going to be all right. She took up a chair and sat beside him, he told her how they started dating, how they got married, how much he loves her, how they suffered and went through thick and thin, the story touched linda's heart because that exactly happened to her parents also but they both died in a car accident going to process their divorce and was left to stay with her grandfather. She told donald's dad about her story too and it looks as if they both have the same issue, they both cried calmly and said to themselves "it's going to be alright".
It was getting dark already, Linda got up from her sobbing and sniffing state and was about to go home, her house was very far from the hospital so she have to go home quickly to avoid traffic, she told donald's dad that she's about to depart and eventually he escorted her till she reached the gate. They both wave their hands applying good bye to it and he watches her leave till he could no longer see her. Mr silva went back to his wife ward and began to enjoy his sorrowful moment again, Linda has gotten to the point of the bus stop, she have to enter a train to her house, she dipped her hand in her purse and found out that her wallet is not with her. She was perplexed cause she didn't know how she misplaced her wallet, she think very hard cause that was her only hope to get home if not she would be wandering around the street for an help or a offer, she thought hardly and couldn't come up with any ideas, she had to return back to the hospital since that was the place she came from. She was going there to search for her wallet and if she doesn't find it she planned on sleeping there. Before she got to the hospital it was 7:45pm already and was getting really dark, she has gotten to the gate and she knocked for the security man to open it for her, she was frowning while walking through the hospital in search of her missing wallet.

While in search for the wallet, she was obviously doing the opposite of what a happy person would do. She was in no mood for jokes, she started ransacking the wards one by one. Although they were close proximity with each other, she still had the patience to check them one by one having no stone unturned. She had probably thought that she wouldn't search too far, but the shoe was on other foot. She had searched virtually all the wards apart from that of donald and his mom. She was already tired, cold beads of perspiration ran down her face, she crashed on the chair nearby and replayed the last 30 minutes in her head wondering how she lost the wallet.
She then remembered that she was just beating around the bush, the main ward she has been to have not been checked by her, she quickly rushed down to the ward of donald and she saw the wallet in the floor untouched by anyone, she was calm, relieved and happy, she picked it up and was about to leave when she heard a breaking and cracking still voice, she was shocked cause no one was there and donald's mom ward was about twenty steps away. She looked through the window of donald but couldn't see clearly, then she ignored and decided to get back to her journey to make sure she gets home before it's midnight. She was about going when she heard the still little voice again, she stopped and decided to check where the voice was coming from, She stood immobile and motionless to take note of the still little voice. The voice came again lowly and slowly, she noticed it was donald voice, the words were coming out for donald's mouth, then she drew closer to him, put her ears on his mouth to hear what he was saying.
Donald has just got a little revive time of about 15 minutes and if not attended to he would eventually breathe one's last, as she put her ears on his mouth she could hear him recite the poem his infelicitous mother had taught him, she could hear him say
"There once was a man from Albion,
Who always boast of perfection,
He was crushed by a rat,
With the help of his cat,
Oh what a looser from Albion.
After hearing the poem she quickly rushed down to donald's dad to tell him what is happening,she saw him there with his unconscious wife, he asked her why she barged in like that, she was panting and wheezing heavily she tried to say the words but it won't come out, donald dad had to calm her down, when she was calmed she then told him what happened quickly he rushed down to check and he found out she was right. Swiftly they both assail down to meet one of the nurse, they told her what happened and she quickly contacted the doctor and he came flying out, they quickly rushed to the ward with the poem still coming out from his mouth.
The doctor told them to wait outside and did the requisite administration to make sure he's alright and safe. They both waited outside for a positive news and finally the doctor was out with a grin on his face, donald's father gripped him firmly and asked him if all was well?, He smiled and said yes sir we just saved your son and you did the right thing to notify us quickly cause he only had about 5 minutes if not he would have expire.
They were all happy, at least one of his family have been saved. He gave donald a resting chance cause at that moment he could do anything. Mr silva and Linda both went downstairs and he was thanking Linda for putting a smile on his face, he called her again the name 'miracle" she put on again the pleasing smile on her face, and they both laughed.
She said to donald's dad that she wants to teach him a poem to recite anytime he's in affliction and exasperation, she recite the poem larghetto in the same tone of her Mellifluous and melodious voice, she said,
"Troubles come and go,
My strength stay and never go,
I feel lost in this unwelcomed sea,
Laughter open my eyes that I may see,
The beauty that beholds my joy,
For it was built on a humus soil,
Torment and anguish shall not take away my day,
For this I'm free, I shall not pay;
I will wear on my smile,
For I know it won't give me pile
My smile shall not come and sly,
For it will give me wings to fly,
Keep on with positive words,
For everything is going to be alright.

What had been forgotten, wasn't worth the memory. The youth woke up with no memories of his past. He didn't know his own name or his own origin, but he knew he wasn't alone, at least in this body. There was another one, and both of them didn't know much about each other. They had a conversation, but their conversation ended with a darkening world. The youth woke again, inside a chamber made of rocks. Two kids around- a twin of girl and a boy- told him that he fell from the upper world into the deepest place, where the sun could never reach and a single-season took all of the year. The youth didn't wait long until he voiced his desire of returning to the upper world, but for some reason, the humans here would prevent him and chase him away... and the little girl who only glared at him eventually told him that someone inside her was saying that youth was the worst being he had ever seen. Not to cause trouble to anyone, the youth decided to go away... but he didn't know that wherever he went trouble would always await.
