Everything was black, and all Oren could sense and feel was darkness. Yet, he could vaguely hear something.
He didn't clearly know what it was, but just from the noises his ear captured, it ringed something unusual… he felt relieved?
It sounded similar to a machine… with someone talking over his head?
Oren felt bewildered, his thoughts slow and his brain couldn’t form a clear though. But he was sure of one thing, this sound he was hearing, it sounded so… pleasant to the ear.
Everything felt murky and twisted, but also nourishing.
The last thing Oren remembred… what was it again?
Ah, he was shot, and… and… yes, he died.
Was he already in heaven? Oren didn't know, but couldn’t care less as what he was feeling was so comfortable, because Oren had never felt like this in his whole living life even if he overslept.
How great would it be if he could just stay like this forever, paradise is so refreshing, man…
Slowly but evidently, faint light began to emerge from darkness, while the sounds became more clear in his ears. Oren could feel as if he was opening his eyes, then that light turned into a clear pillar of light which shot straight towards him.
In no time, a blinding light flashed, and Oren squinted what he could consider his eyes.
It hurt! He grumbled inwardly.
The monotonous and mechanic sound kept beeping beside his ears, and Oren felt his eyes burn as if it was the first time he saw sunlight after years inside a mine!
Oren reopened what now he was sure were his eyes and the blinding light returned, but this time it didn't hurt much.
The first thing his pupils absorbed was the color white, everything they recorded was blinding white.
“Oh, so you're finaly awake? What a relief, I though you'll need more time.”
Before Oren could clearly decern his surroundings, a feminine voice that filled his ears with enchanting tone reverberated inside his mind.
“Who?”
Carried by his drowsy head, Oren blurred out still not feeling his mouth, everything was a mess inside his mind.
But nonetheless he felt releif hearing the tone of the voice.
“Which beautiful angel came to take my soul?” He asked out, thinking an angel came to carry his soul after death after pitying his poor self, greatly influenced by movies… sigh.
“Pft. Hahahaha, you're so sweat.”
The angelic and refreshing voice sounded happy, Oren could be damn sure whoever this angel may be was holding her flushed cheeks with both hand and fiddling with her eyes…
It's actually his messed up mind conjuring ‘inappropriate’ scenes, so it's not true.
“my soul will be in your beautiful hands then.” his mouth continued to simp.
Oren could swear that he doesn't know from where these words are coming from!
After all, he is a proud virgin…
It just he doesn't like how cringe his words were, as excpected from an intovert.
“Well, I am honored.”
Just as the the reply came, Oren began to clearly absorb his surroundings.
He saw a scorching light emanating from what seemed to be a lamp? Do they have technology up here in heaven?
He didn't linger and lowered his eyes, seeing a large patch of white, there was a long transparent rope coiled around what seemed to be his hands, also coming to his face? What are these things?
It was actually linked to a holder? Hm, with a huge box-like machine? They seem to be pretty advanced indeed. Oren conjured.
Just as his eyes wandered, he captured a white figure by the side of his eyes.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
He turned and was stunned for a moment as he deeply observed the figure.
A human? That the only things he could think of… but wasn't he already dead? How come a human is here?
Oren frowned as his thinking was slow, he could barely feel his body or form a clear though.
Now that he thinks about it, there is this feeling of tingling and faint pain itching his whole body… it felt as if he was returning to feel his body from a long time of sleep.
His eyes were still glued to the figure, a dazed look washed his face.
Sudeely, the figure, which looked to have the features of a female, held his hand and did something he couldn’t fathom.
Not that it mattered to him.
All his eyes were focused on was her long night black hair, the fairness of the her skin caressing his hand… he again could hear the beating sound of his heart.
He was enamored!
At that moment, quick succession of monotonous beeps were heard.
He felt embarrassed and shy… it was actually the first time in whole virgin life to be touched by a female!
He felt nervous… wait.
Heart? He still have a heart?
Wait wait wait…
Before he could conclude or think of anything, he heard the female's voice again.
“Alright, your pulses are at a good rate, and you conditin is stable. But why is your heart beating fast so suddenly?” she sounded a bit unsure.
Oren could feel his face burning hot, he was actually caught off guard! It was so embarrassing!
“anyways, congratulations on waking up, I will go and inform the doctor that you've woken up...”
Oren sighed in relief, thankfully, she didn't notice anything…
Before she could move, Oren suddenly felt his head clear and reacted with an uncontrolled shout,
“WAIT, A DOCTOR?!?!” his voice reverbearated inside the room.
Oren noticed another thing about his body, he could hardly move his mouth, and his muscles felt like a restrained prisoner.
Not that he actually got prisonned or something.
At the raise of his head in the sudden movement, Oren saw more of the surroundings. He was apparently inside a white and large room, with a chandelier hanging from the roof, and he seemed to be laying on top of a white medical bed…
Just what is happening? Where was he? Why does it appear he was still on earth?
“Don't stress your body, you had just woken up. Please be at ease, it's just the drugs still affecting your mind.”
Oren's head paused, absorbing what she was saying.
“hehe, You seems lost, let me enlighten you a bit,”
The figure chuckled when she saw the confusion in his eyes, then went on to inform him.
“You are in the hospital, and you’re not dead. So cheer up and stay down because your body still needs to rest.”
She sounded like a caring person.
“Just what is happening?” all Oren could think of was projected into a murmur.
Oren felt the drowsiness in his head dissipate instantly, his mind fully awake while he absorbed his surroundings very clearly.
He was now sure of one thing, whatever this place was, it wasn't paradise.
A unique smell filled the room, and maybe just his body still reacting, but Oren didn't like it one bit.
“Ok, it will be a little daunting at first, but let me introduce myself first.” seeing him focused and fully awake, the figure returned beside his bed and began talking.
“My name is Kelly, you can call me nurse Kelly or whatever you feel comfortable with, and I am your dedicated nurse.”
Oren listened intentively, and he summarized everything to ask one question.
“so, I am inside an Hospital?” Oren raised his eyebrows, skeptical.
It was clear that he was it inside an hospital… but what can you so with an idiot?
“Yes, after transferring you here to the emergency room, and because of your critical condition, we had to start the operation on your heart quickly. So Doctor Rachel immediately started the operation and fortunatly, it came into success. The chances were low, but yout don't seem to be fated to die this young.” Kelly explained.
She was atucaly surprised that such a heart condition could be healed… a miracle indeed.
“But even then, you went into a coma, we thought it would take years as we never had a situation like yours but, only a month had passed and here you're waking up, even your body is healing at a rapid rate.” She continued her elaboration.
Oren was still absorbing her words, but he accepted one thing, his body stemmed with difference, though vague, he could feel stronger than before.
As if he was given some power-up vaccine.
But then he remembered that no one was in the scene back when the accident happened,...
“Who informed you about me?” he helplessly wrestled to move his jaw, through little pain was transmitted.
“OH, it was an anonymous call. It was urgent and we had to act instantly because of your critical condition, so we left the other work to the police department. Also, there was someone else who heard what happened and always came to the hospital, checking on you when you were unconscious…”
Oren heard what she said and decided to belive her for the moment, it's not like he had any other choice.
He sorted out his thoughts, the feeling of blood passing his vessels filled his body with life once again.
He was still alive. Oren didn't know if he should be happy or sad.
He looked around and saw Kelly was looking at him with a kind smile, she really was beautiful… he lowered his heard quickly, his cheeks burned in embarrassment.
The white and green colored nurse outfit coudn’t diminish her charm one bit, and adding her friendly demeanor, she looked so appealing.
Seeing him act like that, an amused smile krept into Kelly's radiant face.
“oho” she put a hand over her mouth, “what do we have here… were you thinking about something indecent?”
This damn machine!!
Oren felt his heart skip a beat. Damn, he is so weak against her… is this the power of women? He didn't know, but evertime he looked at her, he coudn’t think her like a normal female, only a strong enchanting feeling pulls him towards her, making his heart flutter with sweetness.
Just what is happening to me? Did they plant the heart of someone who had a crush on her? Such thoughs flooded his mind.
Maybe she's just that beautiful…
That's the only explanation he could convince himself and scrambled to change the topic.
“what.. what about…” his mind was black, but fortunatly he remmebred an important detail he had missed, “what about the medical bills? How much did the operation cost?”
He finally remmebred the bills!
If the operation was that complex as Nurse Kelly said, the he will surely get milked up with more loans hanging on his neck, it’s better to just die!
Just who told them to save him? He lamented inwardly.
“You don't have to worry about that, everything have already been taken care of, so you can take l you're time to rest and recuperate.”
“by who?” he inquired.
“It's a confidential information as the person requested that we don't tell you, even I don't know.” she replied, that bright smile still on her face.
A total bullcr*p!
Who the neck is so magnanimous to do so much good!
It's clearly a rip off or they just want to test on my body, clearly it a big dark organisation that began to experiment on my body.
This sh*t happen often in movies… so Oren’s imagination wandered far away.
He looked down at his bandaged hands and body, his mood getting somber by the unsettling thoughs.
But just as he was getting consumed inside his mind, a voice boomed throughout the room.
“WAA! Finally you woke up you bastard!! I waited a whole month in pain for you to get neck up!! Finally!”
It sounded happy but aggrieved at the same time.
Oren heart jumped on shock at the sudden frightful scream.
‘oh my fragile heart, WHO THE NECK IS SUCH A BRUTE?!?’
