Malisa had just woken up from her slumber when, Aiden and Mary entered the hospital room where she was.
" Sis...." Mary ran towards her bed when she saw her eyes opening...
" Hey... " Malisa said in a whisper as she tried to regain all her memories from earlier... " I told you I'll be fine, didn't I? " She smiled at Mary.
" You did... But you were out for almost twelve hours, sis! " Mary said emotionally...
" But I am now awake now, alright? "
" You are... "
" Hm, Mali... " Aiden said interrupting the duo from their mini banter.
" Hi... How are you doing now? "
" Well... I am good. What about you? "
" Same... " Malisa sighed. " I am happy to see you fine now, Mary was so scared earlier... It was a feat trying to comfort her... "
" Am sorry you had to go through that... "
" It was nothing really... "
" Hm... I really don't know how to tell you how grateful I am for saving my life... "
" Well... It's nothing.. anyone would have done so if there were in my shoes. "
" Wrong! Not anyone would be willing to do that for anyone, sis! Others might have even used the excuse of being scared of needles to get away. "
" If you say so... Still, it was nothing... "
Soon, the door was opened and a doctor walked in along with a nurse...
" Good day, Monsieur, Madames. " The doctor greeted.
" Hello, Doctor... "
" Hm... How are you feeling now, Madame? "
" Am feeling better now... "
" Oh... That's a good sign... "
" Yeah... "
" Right... So this supplements are for you... Please do well to take it on a daily basis to recover your full strength and energy. " He said referring to the supplements on the tray that the nurse held in her arms...
" Alright, Doctor... Thanks. "
" Hm... I'll be leaving now, you all should take care... "
" We will, Doctor... Thanks. "
.....
" Sis, I never knew you were a fan of melons... " Mary said while they were having fruits later on...
" Well... I practically love all fruits... "
" Really, sis? "
" Yep... "
" Including lemons and lime? "
" Right... I don't know why most people find it bitter... Because to me, they are just perfect. "
" Well... I don't like them. I prefer strawberries the most. "
" As expected. " Malisa smiled.
" Yeah... Brother love pineapples like a lot. "
" Oh wow... " Malisa's eyes darted towards, Aiden's as she replied...
Coincidentally, he was also looking at her and their eyes met.
This time, she didn't look away shyly as she might have done in the past, rather she stared at him thoughtfully.
" By the way, how do you think I should address you from now on? " Needless to say, her question was directed at Aiden...
Not only was Aiden himself surprised by this question, Mary was too...
She wondered when, Malisa became so comfortable around her brother...
Because, the last time they chatted, Malisa was still a little shy around him... So what went well?
Unknown to her, Malisa had thought through everything in her sleep...
She realized that there were only two people who really cared about her now are the two people in front of her...
And Knowing this, She decided in her heart that she wasn't going to be so conservative around them... She was going to try as much as possible to comfortable with them especially, Aiden...
This wouldn't hurt her really since the duo had saved her life and had given her a second chance... And an opportunity to dream... And not only to dream but to also be able to achieve that dream...
So why then would she have to be so reserved around Aiden since he practically saved her life!
Despite being aware of how risky it was, he still went out of his ways to save her and give her a new life.
What more could she ask for?
" Well... You can call me, Aiden. " He replied calmly, though he couldn't hide the smile that bloomed on his face.
" Oh... What does, Aiden mean? "
" Well... If, letter ' n ' is added to it, it becomes, ' Aidenn ' which means, Paradise... "
" Oh wow... "
" You know, Sis. The French version of my name is, Marie... "
" I know that, The French version of my name, is still, ' Mèlissa ' depending on how my name is spelt. "
" Yeah... "
" By the way, Aiden... " Surprisingly, Malisa didn't have a problem calling out his name, the words just flowed freely out of her mouth without any obstruction...
Nevertheless, hearing her calling out his name gave, Aiden a sweet feeling... He felt like his name had gotten so much meaning now that she was calling it...
It was so surreal...
Now that he thinks of it, He realized that he found anything, Malisa said or do very cute... Like really, cute!
