That night, i think i snapped. I lay in that hospital bed with all the smell of drugs and the fowl air of frustration and i snapped. The doctor said the baby was premature, and that it would have permanent medical conditions. ''The Baby'' I haven't even brought myself to call it my baby. Can i ever take care of a baby i tried to kill with a coat hanger. A baby that tormented me to end its life. I snapped. I snapped in a way drunkards change, you know how you are sober this minute and then the next minute you are so drunk your head is swinging from left to right like overgrown breasts. I knew at once that there was something wrong with me. Like a nut has gone loosed in my head. I stood up from the hospital bed and walked towards the door. It was locked. I rested my back on the door and slowly i slided down to a sitting position, crawled up in a way that my knees was touching my chin and started crying, the pain was just too much it made me uncomfortable, i couldn't sit for long so i started rolling on the floor. My eyes hurt, my stomach burnt and rumbled from pain and hurt, it was like someone was feeding me fire. I cried and i decided i couldn't take it any more. I stood up and walked towards the window. It was a story building, there were 3 patients in the ward including a nurse who was now sleeping. One patient was awake, she just stared at me, her face totally blank and lacked emotions, have you ever being at that point where it seem like your are out of emotions, you can't cry, you can't laugh, you are just there like a vegetable waiting to be plucked. That's how it must have been for her, she just blocked off every emotion bidding the time when she would take her last breath. I wished for her luxury. I got to the window and looked down, 3 stories. There was no one on the street, i think it must have been around 2am. The street lights felt like demons kissing me in the dark, they called on to me. I imagined how sweet it would be to have my brain scattered on the floor below. How would the news carry it.., ''A 19 year old commits suicide by jumping from a three-storey building'' Would the world know my story, would they know the kind of madness that drove me to fly, the pain, would they? I took a long breath and looked down again. My mind was made. I would tell you something, death is like a bad song written by a good musician, you hate it, you fear it but the moment you decide to embrace its melody and sing its verses, it becomes a song that soothes you. I thought i would be afraid but i wasn't, i just felt numb. I thought about my life and tried to remember the last time i was happy, i couldn't. I pulled the window curtain apart and tried to open the window. It was a glass window and bolted tight with no way to open it. I pushed but the window wouldn't bulge. I tried, but nothing i did would open the window. So i grabbed one of the patients metal rod where her drip was hanged and tried to break the window with it. I was being too careful not to make too much of a noise. But it seems not making a noise would mean i would be stuck on earth so i hit the window more forcefully, the glass shattered with a loud bang that woke every person in that ward. Before i could drop the metal rod and set myself up for the ultimate flight, everyone was begging me not to do it, the nurse was screaming and begging. They started to walk towards, including the very sick ones. ''please don't kill yourself, life is too precious'' one of them said. My life is far from precious. I inched closer to the window and slide my head outside, feels like a safe jump, if i'm lucky my brain would not fill the floor and i might just have a few broken bones. As i made my way to jump, my dad opened the door and ran in. The shock of seeing my dad at the hospital by this time made my hesitate for a few seconds, those few seconds are the reason why i am here today..., My dad was begging me, amidst tears.....,......., ''Please just get away from that window'' he said. ''No dad, the pain is too much for me to bear'' He took careful steps towards me ''You don't have to bear the pain alone, please just get away from the window and we'll talk about it'' I stood by the window and let him talk to me, maybe i didn't want to die after all. Maybe i just needed someone to tell me everything would be fine and that i'm not going crazy. ''Who would take care of your younger ones if you decide to jump, we love you'' I looked at my dad, jolted from the window and ran into his arms.., ''the pain is too much dad, its too much'' i said, holding him very tightly. ''i know, i know, that's why i'm here, i'll never leave you'' I looked at him, ''But what happens to My Baby and the men who did all this?'' ''Karma would catch up with them soon enough'' he replied. I stared at my dad, if only he could read my thoughts...., I am karma. (next updates would be here) 9 Likes 3 Shares |
