Antara Darah dan Hati: Dream Reality English Translation

Chapter 24 Part 1 "Stille Sophie"

POV Sofia

Where am I? Why do I hear a lot of people's voices that sometimes accompanied with sound of people crying? Why does my backside feel like it's on a soft surface?

My two closed eyes slowly opened their lids and after my eyes adjusted to the level of light that entered them, the atmosphere around me that was previously dim was gradually clear to my eyes.

I rolled my eyes at various directions and on my right side, I saw my mother sitting on a chair with her head down and her eyelids closed. Ah, right, I was lying on a bed in a patient room at a hospital.

I'm sure my mother who is sitting beside me must be waiting for me to wake up, who previously had not woken up with a feeling of anxiety and worry that hit and took control of her heart which for her time passed very slowly when she was waiting for me to wake up from my stupor. I had to wake her up by calling her so that the feeling of anxiety and worry that hit and gripped her heart disappeared.

"Moool."

Huh? What happened? When I tried to call my mother by saying the word moeder, what came out of my mouth was moool sound? Weird. Ah, maybe it's just the effect of the nervous system in my brain still trying to adjust to the state of my body that just woke up from its stupor. I tried to say the same word again.

"Muuuul."

Huh? The sound of the pronunciation of the word moeder that I'm trying to say is still the same as before? What happen? Why can't I say the word moeder ?

"Mooooul."

I tried to say the same word for the third time but again, the word that came out the pronunciation sound for the word "moeder " I was trying to say was still the same as before.

Panic and anxiety began to overwhelm me. I tried to calm myself down by reassuring myself that I was fine and maybe what I was experiencing would only last a moment because my brain's nervous system which controlled my jaw, tongue and mouth muscles were still adjusting to my body that had just woken up from its stupor. After five minutes had passed, I tried to say the same word again.

"Moule."

The result is still the same. In the end I said the same words over and over again because I was panicking while trying to convince myself that I was okay until my mother finally woke up from her sleep.

"Sofia? Sofia's awake?! Darling! Darling, wake up! Sofia's awake!" said my mother screaming with joy while calling my father when she saw that I had woken up from my stupor.

A few moments later, I saw my father appear behind the curtain that is used to cover the area where the patient's bed was placed then he stopped his steps and stood on the right side of the bed where I was lying, looking at me.

"Good gracious! Thank God!" my father said happily then he asked me.

"Sofia? Are you okay or are you still feeling sick?" my father asked.

I tried to give my answer but the answer that I gave was not clear because I couldn't pronounce the words that came out of my mouth properly no matter how hard I tried. I started shedding tears and crying because I couldn't pronounce the words I wanted to say properly.

My mother immediately pressed the bell button which was located close to the headboard of the patient's bed, a few moments later the nurse came and my father and mother told the nurse a short story about my condition and asked her to call the doctor immediately, the nurse immediately went out of the patient's room and some time later, she returned to the room where I was treated with the doctor who treated me.
