chapter thirty five

Angelina’s point of view:

It has been five days since Dave has been inside the ICU, he hasn't even woken up. He was shot in his left chest. The doctor said that he has landed in the cold, which I don't believe is not a good thing. Being in a coma means the person is either alive or dead.  It takes time for the patient that lands in a coma to regain their consciousness. Dave can't do this to me, he has to regain his consciousness.  His baby needs him, I need him. Every freaking person needs him to regain his consciousness.

Harris and Molly were caught and they have been put behind balls.

Though for sure Molly is going to jail but Harris' own is still under view.

I looked at Dave again to see if there is any change in him but he is still the same.

"You have to eat Angelina" my mom Said

"Mom, I am fine.  Just tell him to regain his consciousness please" I told her as tats fell off to my cheek

"He will regain his consciousness when it is time for my baby.  You are breastfeeding, you have to eat something for your child's sake" she said, I nodded at her.  She brought the food to me and fed me m, after a few spoons I told her to stop feeding me.

"Thank God you taste almost the whole plate today unlike the other days" 

'Angelina" the voice called.  I looked over to Dave, his eyes were opened, how I did not notice that.  I stood up from the child I was sitting and rushed to him. 

"Angelina, water" yes He needs water. I sat him up a little and gave him the water to drink.  He drank the whole cup like a hungry beast.

"Mom please call the doctor" I told her 

"Yes" she went out to call the doctor. 

"Don't tell me I have been in the hospital for days, please pass me more water" he said 

I gave him more water.

"Yes five days"

" I see"

The doctor came in with a nurse.  I stood up for the doctor to examine him. 

"The patient is out of danger and his condition is stable now.  All he needs is his rest. He will be discharged this evening."

"Thank you doctor" I said

He nodded and went out. 

"Where is my baby boy?" he asked

"He is with his grandfather, your dad," I told him. 

"that's exactly want he wants" 

"Meaning?"  I asked

"You don't have to worry" he said.

"okay if you say so"

"What of the stupid people?" he asked

"They have been put behind balls bit Harris father is trying to bail his room out"

"he is never get to go that"

"As in" I asked 

"Don't get involved, pass me my phone." I took his phone from my bag and passed it to him. 

"Hey Idris. I have a job for you now.  I want you to make sure Harris' company along with his father's get bankrupt. And make sure Molly or Hari's does not get bailed or released from jail. Be fast with it" he said and cut the phone. 

"Really Dave?"

"Please don't get involved with Angelina" he said. 

"Thanks for saving my life and the baby's anyway" I appreciated him.

"Don't mention, it’s my duty."

"I love you Dave, I love you from the bottom of my heart Dave"

"I love you too Angelina, you are the best thing that glass ever happened to me. We sealed that up with a kiss. 

I broke the kiss, “we have to go home. Everyone is waiting for you." I told him

"And how do you know that?" he asked. I showed him the kissed calls, I guess mom has told them about Dave's current condition. 

"Okay let's go"

"Oops we have to wait still the evening" I told him 

"That's true love". I can't wait for us to all be together. Mom, dad, Mrs. Martins, Mr. Martins, Abbey, Chris, Jim, little bean David and the Two of us.  We are one family.  The love we have for each other unites two different families.  The poor and the rich.

Dave's point of view:

A week later:

I parked my car in front of the cell gate. I got out of it and locked my car.

I entered the building and went straight to the visiting room. I told the warders about the person I came to visit and a few minutes later they brought him here and removed his handcuffs.

He glared at me intensely and immediately he saw that I was the one. He was reluctant at first but he sat down anyway.

Chris looked so unkempt. He is dressed in the prisoner's uniform. He looked so ragged and disturbed.

His hair is messy, his skin is so dry. The Harris I know always takes good care of his skin but no longer. He is not allowed to do so here. There are bag circles under his eyes which shows that he hasn't been able to sleep for days. I sighed.

I took the phone. He took the phone and held it to his ear. The thick glass between us won't let us hear each other, so that's why the phone is used to communicate.

"Hello," I said. He didn't reply to me, he just held it to his ear and stared at me.

"I never thought our friendship was going to end this way. You know I always thought it will continue even if death takes us away but unfortunately, it didn't go as expected." I said with emotions.

"You betrayed me. You hurt me. I never expected that from you. I didn't believe my ears when you announced that you were only friends with me so thathst you could bring me down. Whereas I was thinking we could be something great together. You also chose to follow a woman that didn't love you. She is only using you against me and nothing more. Why did you do all these? Why?" I yelled to the phone.

He didn't answer or take his glances away from me.

"She is just a whore who wants your properties. You are not even the father of her child. She lied to you but you were blinded by her fake love. Look, where you got yourself." 

"Do not hurt her" He said slowly venomously.

"I am not doing anything to her. Did you know that you guys almost killed my baby and angel? Don't you feel remorseful?" I asked him.

"Why would I when that's what I want?" He said nonchalantly.
