Chapter 68：Praying for Miracles

When Marlou was done from praying, he went to the ICU to watch over the couple but prior to that, he wired to his wife about the accident. Catherine felt so sorry and told him to at least stay beside them. In due course, their conversation lasted for a short while then he was in a hurry to wear the lab gown and proceeded to the ICU.

" Marlou...this is all Camille's idea. She rushed to annoy me at the gate while his bodyguard abducted Karla out of the kitchen, pulled her out going to the compound's exit. I wanted to sue her now but I have to focus for my wife's condition."

"Ah, is that so...just wait here, I'll call our company lawyer to help us manàge these issues. I have known a private detective to separately investigate her whereabouts right now. Who knows if she's leaving back to hiding again. Don't you know that she had a previous case on abduction that her father just settled everything. This time, since our company is affected and Karla's life is at risk, that woman whining for jealousy must be dealt properly by the law."

" Marlou...please, thank you."

When Marlou left, Godem in Seb still watching her struggling. He tried to talk to her.

" Darling, I know you can hear me. Don't go with anyone towards the light, whatever happens, go backwards...avoid Seb, Nomin, your parents, or whosoever. I know this isn't your time yet, so please...come back, stay here, with us. We have dreams...even before. Would you like to know...that your first dream is to buy a wooden kettle" Then he was not able to hold on his tears.

" You told me before in the second wedding that you want me to build a house with a fruit tree in front of the bedroom where you can also see the skies before you can go to sleep at night - with us. That's why when Seb built a house for you, it was me who planned all of those in Seb's house. I was caught by Banli and was reprimanded. And when he asked me if why I intervened to Seb's life, I answered I didn't know why. You also....liked to buy a colorful fan, when you first saw it from one of the encomenderos' wives, I thought you would say you'll use it for you but you said you'll use it to play with your children, if we get some. But all those marriages failed. So now...listen, don't give up on us easily. I wanted to live... a beautiful life with you, have kids and grow old together...I know you dreamed of it too. Darling, hang on. Just stay around, don't go farther. You know how much I love you." The nurse listening behind him was teary eyed too for she knew Karla was in high risk for survival and there is just this thin line to get through it.

" Excuse me Sir, time to inject for her some fluids."

He stayed back beside her wife again and hours turned out days and two weeks.

Marlou kept coming to tell him to go home and sleep a little so he can take some shower. He was also worried of Seb's weight loss and his facial hair emerged like in the old dàys.

After two weeks, he saw her soul already around and told him that she was given the chance to live again.

"Nomin told me that he was smiling allthroughout when you were crying and told me not to go with Seb nor Nomin if they fetch me...he was laughing while listening with you that time, he said."

Godem in Seb smiled.

" How are you..." Godem asked her.

" Thank God...when are you going back to your body...I miss you a lot, so much."

" Me too, but you can now see me. The heavens told Nomin to allow you to see the immortals. But Nomin was worried of you...go home first, take a shower, eat and sleep a little."

One morning, at 3:00 am, Karla's index finger moved and all the while Godem saw it and blissfully kissed her.

" Good girl, keep that progress...I'm excited to see you eat our recipes at home, I'll cook for you even if it's everyday.

" How about me, where's my cake?" Nomin interfered.

" Sshh..keep quiet Nomin, someone's approaching."

" He immediately called the resident Doctor coming and to their surprise, Karla's almost awake.

When the experts left, Nomin was not anymore around. Only Karla's soul sat beside her body and doing several attempts of getting inside.

" The accident taught me that people must not say against the patient on a hospital bed, their souls were just watching around. In two weeks, I was just sitting beside you and attempting to wipe your tears. "

" Oh really...still I am thankful that even I can't see you but still you were just by my side."

"It's an order to Nomin by the elders."

" Ah, I got it. Since your accident was a mistake then they got you a clearance, something like that."

" Somewhat like that. By the way, I can almost get inside my body, it seems my body is almost getting better too. I'm also excited to be back home with you. I missed you so much."

After an hour, Karla finally woke up and he was the happiest in the world that day.

The resident Doctor and the Nurse thought it was really a miralcle. The CT scan two weeks ago reflected a big blood clot inside the brain that might cause some neurological dysfunctions. But Karla just casually talked straight as she can also move her body lightly.

" So happy darling, days from now, we can be home then. I will go there often to prepare our room and the entire house so to welcome you dearly.
