A slap in the face

Pain... He couldn't take it a second longer... He heard screams, but he hadn't any idea who was screaming there-

Suddenly, there was a kind, familiar voice...

"Andropov! It's you, Andropov, right?"

Only with the biggest effort had he managed to face her.

"Kluke..." He whispered into the darkness surrounding him. "Kluke, is it you...?"

From faraway, he heard Kluke's voice, saying: "Yeah, it's me... You're alive, that's great..."

He barely heared the last word...

And then everything grew dark.

She sat in a beautiful garden, which was dipped in the golden light of the setting sun.

'What a nice garden... Exactly the right place to recover...'

She thought with a peaceful smile on her lips, entirely absentmindedly.

'But no.'

She realized apruptly. It was neither peaceful nor nice; in the hospital behind her, every few minutes new patients were taken in. Said patients contained such severs injuries that it was too late to help. She knew that they did everyhing in their power, but she still wished that they could do more.

'We do all we can, but at the same time, we do far too less.'

She thought sourly. Sighing deeply, her gaze wandered through the garden; actually she hadn't the time to take a break (not with that many patients), but after the death of a little girl, severely injuried and the entire time calling after his mother, she had to go outside, and if it was just for a moment...

And her stomache knotted when she thought of the person who caused it.

All of a sudden, a little flower caught her attention. She stood up and, curiously, she sat down besides the flower. It was pale blue and the petals where jagged. She looked around; it seemed to be the only flower of this variety in the whole garden. But much more interesting was the fact that the color of the pedals reminded her of something, but she wasn't able to remember what it was...

She startled up when somebody called her name. Sighing again, she stood up and went into the hospital.

Kluke suddenly knew of what the color of the plan reminded her of. While her heart started to beat faster, she wondered why exactly this flower had cast her.

Kluke worked at the hospital computer; since she was skillful with mechanics, she was bestowed with the computing. Besides it was late and the plant of the hospital had simmered down. So they had finally time to look after the patients inoperative, and in the hospital were enough nurses to lack one of them for awhile.

Suddenly, she heared painful screams behind her. She turned around to see a nurse and a doctor who took a very badly injured patient in one of this hospital beds with the metal rods on each side, which made even healthy people feeling sick.

"How's the patient?" The dark-haired doctor asked, worried. The nurse answered, in a similiar worried tone, "He finally calmed down- Come, help this person!" Kluke ascended slowly and went over to them. While these two were still talking about the patient's medical condition, she sneaked a peek at the patient.

And what she saw, let her heart expose for moment, which seemed like an etern for her-

It was Andropv.

Without thinking, she screamed his name in unrestreined panic.

'At least he's still alive.' She tried to bolster herself up before opening the door into his room. She saw him lying in bed. He seemed calm to the point where Kluke supposed he was sleeping, but even unconscious he groaned in pain. Nearly his whole body was bandaged.

Kluke felt her knees started to tremble.

The doctor to whom she talked to before had even said... But no, she couldn't think about it. It was to hard to think about it, especially now, when Andropov lied in front of her in this bed, his face contorted with hurt...

Suddenly, he moved. Kluke held her breath. He groaned loudly and looked into her direction, as if he could see her.

But that was impossible...

"Kluke?" He whispered and Kluke winced.

"Andropov?" She susurrated very quietly. Her whole body was trembling now and she hoped that he wouldn't realize her shaking voice when she whispered. She made way to him. The corners of his mouth were distorted into an exerted faint smile. Just as Kluke thought that he had fallen asleep again, Andropv started talking.

"Kluke, what's wrong with me?" He asked in a desperate tone.

She couldn't answer and all of a sudden, there was a lump into her throath.

"What's wrong with me? ? ?" He repeated in panic. "I can't see anything! ! !"

Kluke couldn't hold back as the tears started to flow over her cheeks.

Andropov leaned back when he heard her sobs; the corner of his mouth shook.

"Will I convalesce ever again? Will I see ever again? ? ?" He asked, shocked and with voice breaking in the end.

OOO

"He will be convalesce, won't he?" Kluke asked the doctor who had found him.

"With the correct care, maybe..." He answered with a deep sigh.

"What does that mean? ? ?" Her eyes filled with tears.

The doctor looked at her sadly and when he answered his voice sounded regretful.

"We don't know it. I'm sorry, Kluke-"

But he hadn't enough time to finish for she jumped up and ran away, tears flowing her face.

OOO

"The doctor said-" Her voice broke, but she still managed to finish the sentence through her sobs.

"...Said he- he doesn't know."
