Just then the door open and a small looking nurse came in.
“Oh! You came during the day, did you change your nights visit to day time?” The nurse asked Francis.
“Uh, some thing happen and that’s why am here ” he replied.
After doing her task she left which got every one starring at him.
“Do you come here during the night time?” Alice asked and he nodded.
“It’s the only spare time have got in being with her” Francis said remembering all the nights he’s spent in Joanna’s room.
Everyone felt relieved after hearing his last statement.
“Let’s give them some time alone” Pierce said as they all left the room leaving Joanna and Francis alone.
Francis sat on the chair which was beside the bed and taking hold of Joanna’s hand, he pressed it to his lips.
“Am here again, though I came a little bit early” he began.
“The sun is pretty it’s a shame that you aren’t up to see it. You know I still hear people thoughts but your thought is what I long to listen to. So when….when are you going to come back to me, have missed you” he said trying to hold back his tears.
“Have missed your lovely voice, your smile, your teasing, your hugs. Am starting to forget it all so wake up soon, wake up Joanna” he added even as tears slid down his face.
He was still crying and that didn’t let him notice Joanna fingers moving slightly, neither did he notice that her breathing had changed.
Francis wipe off his tears and stood up to leave but stopped when he saw Joanna awake and she was starring at him.
“Joanna!” He called, moving towards her to confirm if she really is awake cause he’s spent the whole of two years thinking about this moment.
She blink twice making it clear to him that she is wide awake.
“Doctor! Doctor!” Francis yelled leaving the ward with a smile on his face.

∆ FEW MONTHS LATER ∆
Joanna stood in front of the mirror starring at herself in the mirror.
If someone had told her that she will be getting married just six months after woke up from her coma, she might have called them crazy but here she is, sheathe in her wedding dress and just waiting for her father to arrive so he can take her to church to meet her man, her Francis.
It’s been three years since she got stabbed, two years slipped by with her in a coma.
A lot of things had happened, things which every one told her not leaving out a little detail.
Her parents and everyone had been saddened by her comatose state but none of them ever gave up on her.
They knew she would wake up which she did a year ago.
After getting out of the hospital a month later, she went back to her old life though she was a bit sad that her friends are all out of university but that gave her a chance to meet new people.
And she felt proud each time Francis left work just to come pick her.
Though every one had things to do they still gathered together during the weekends to spend time together and it was during one of the weekend that Francis proposed to her.
It had been a magical day for her and today will also be a magical day, she thought just as the door open revealing her father.
“You look beautiful ” Gregory said starring down at her.
“What do you expect, am your daughter after all” she replied smiling brightly.
“Give me a hug” he commanded and she willfully went into his arms.
“You have no idea what those two years did to me” he muttered softly.
“I don’t and that’s why I will make up for it by always cuddling you close for eternity” she said even as he pulled back to stare down at her.
“Well I don’t mind the cuddling but the eternity, I think your husband to be will be jealous” Gregory said jokingly which got her laughing.
“Am sorry to break the father and daughter moment but if we don’t leave now, we will make Francis more agitated. You see he’s been feeling worried, a little info from Pierce” Alice said as she stood by the door way.
“Then we better go and calm his nerves” Joanna said as her father led her outside .
The church wasn’t that far from the hotel where she stayed for the night.
When the church door open, she walk down the aisle towards her man, her man whose gaze was solely on her.
She couldn’t help but to look away, sending a smile to their friends.
Kylie and Jocelyn, Nicholas and Mirabel, Theo and Evelyn, her mother and Francis parents.
On getting to the aisle, she sent a smile to Pierce who winked at her in return before starring at Francis.
“What am I going to do?” He muttered softly while she gave him a questioning look.
“My heart is about to burst out of happiness” he added which got her chuckling.
Soon the judge proceeded with the service and a while later the two were married.
“Shall we Mrs Edgar?” Francis asked stretching fourth his hand.
“Yes, my lovely husband” Joanna replied taking hold of his hand even as they both walk down the aisle.

∆ HONEY MOON ~HOTEL ∆
“The after-party was awesome” Joanna said as she stood in the hotel balcony in Francis arms.
“It was but the wedding night will be more awesome” he said and lifted her into his arms.
“You bad boy ” she said teasingly even as he lay her on the bed.
“What? Have been waiting for a whole three years, so cut me some slack” he said untying her robe.
“Anything for you my dearest husband” she said pulling him down to kiss her.
“I love you Joanna, you have no idea how much I do”
“Same here ” she replied starring at her husband.
“No more being apart again, it almost drove me nuts” he murmured even as he gave her love bites.
“No more” she said enjoying his love bites.
“And no more foreplay” He added moving back to stare down at her.
“Granny isn’t here and so no more foreplay, this time it will be you and I on this bed, skin to skin ” she whispered which got him laughing.
“As much I love you talking Mrs Edgar, I wanna get down to business” he said.
“Then do, do Mr Edgar ” she ordered which he did immediately.
