Saturday was quite a fright when Nur suddenly shouted for Effa’s help to check on Nyai’s head. I was looking forward to ‘The Return of the Kings’ so I ignored her scream and continued to sit on the sofa and had my eyes fixed on the TV. Then Effa had to scream for help from mum and that got me up from the sofa and I ran to Nyai’s room.
She had a deep and long cut on the top right of her head and it looks gruesome…I couldn’t think of another word. We asked her what happened but she said that she doesn’t know.
Earlier on all of us except Nyai went out for Swensen’s. Effa and me went back home first and we didn’t realise anything. None of us did when we got home. Nur even woke Nyai up to solat Maghrib and she said she did not realise anything. When Nyai got Nur to check her head, Nur said the pillow was soaking blood and her head was bleeding.
Nyai couldn’t remember anything and it made us panic. We rushed her to the A&E at CGH. I had no experience in all of these stuff but people like mum and dad are relying on me to settle everything. So I registered Nyai, get her to the Nurses’ station where they wrapped her head in heavy bandage, answered the questions from a nurse, waited for about 15 minutes for our number to be call and wheeled Nyai into the doctor’s room. Mum and I went in and we explained to the doctor everything that we could. We then move on to wait for another half an hour for Nyai to go into the Operation Theatre and while waiting I was looking at all those good looking male medics who came in and out of the A&E.
Then I had to sign papers for Nyai to get admitted (the doctor was asking whether I am 21 yet. You know I have this effect on people…they think I’m young and good old Effa is older than me. Thank you Allah for making me look younger than Effa..sorry Effa). By the time all of these was done it was approximately 1115PM. I was yawning a lot as we waited for the bus to go home.
The next day, Nyai was thankfully back and quite well although she still looks fragile, at about 330PM. We had guests coming in visiting Nyai and giving her their well wishes up till 8PM. I was tired and sleepy and now I am at work with my eyes barely able to open.
Anyway on a side note, I bought Bryan a birthday gift. He turned 26 (I think) yesterday. He immediately opened it and said he like it. He then go on to try on the shirts (and model it for me) and told me again, that he like it. Well I’m glad he did and I’m glad I bought the right size. It fits him just nice. :)
