'Brother save me!'
'Jay, don't come here!!!!'
'Run!'
"..."
'Huff huff'
'N way, don't leave me...'
'Lily... mama... papa!'
'Wait!'
"Don't go!"
Suddenly Jay woke up from his sleep while shouting at the top of his voice.
He was sweating continuously. It was as if he required no bath since that was already taken care of the sweat with which he was drenched.
His breathing was unsteady and his was panting quite irregularly again and again.
His heart beat was rather fast so if he had high fever.
Contrastingly, he had no symptoms of fever. Instead, he was feeling quite healthy rather than the weak himself.
"Weird..."
He was shocked of this first when suddenly he realized that he was supposed to be at the site of accident.
He turned his head here and there only to find himself lying on the bed of the hospital.
"Wait... how did I arrive here?", he was quite confused with how he had reached this place.
Or rather, he somewhat guessed that he might have been saved by the rescue team but he had no idea as to how he survived.
'I was sure that I would have died... but how am I alive then?', he asked himself.
He slowly moved his legs and then got down from the bed right after supporting his body with his hands.
Then he slowly walked towards the mirror that was placed near the washroom which was towards his right side.
He could see his own reflection in the mirror and found that his body was the same before he had lost the consciousness.
"I... I should be in pain right? But why does my body feel so great?"
He asked himself again and again the same question but ultimately he had no answers for it.
He had seated himself on the bed yet again when suddenly the door opened and a nurse entered.
"Eh?"
"..."
"Eh!!!?"
After staring for a few seconds, she ended up shouting loudly after being completely surprised.
The moment they heard her scream, many nurses just ran towards his room and the same was with the doctors.
The senior most doctor who was in charge of Jay rushed in only to be surprised after looking at him.
Jay himself was confused when he looked at their reactions. It was as if they had finally seen an alien wake up from his sleep.
"It's a miracle..."
"Indeed a miracle..."
"Uh, I don't know why you all are shocked so can anyone explain me...?", Jay said asked hesitantly as he was not comfortable to speak with just anyone.
The doctors and nurses stared at each other and then nodded their heads.
"Actually..."
"Blah blah blah..."
All of them started to blabber at the same time which Jay failed to understand. Not even one thing was clearly heard other than the word - 'Coma'.
*cough cough*
"Now, if you would be quiet, only then I can speak...", the senior most doctor who was a bit fat and also healthy with white hair said this while coughing a bit as if he was giving them a sign to keep quiet.
They nodded their heads and then shut their mouths almost immediately.
The doctor then walked towards Jay and then sat beside him on the same bed.
"Well, the thing is that..."
"You were in coma for an entire month and we had expected that you would never wake up again..."
Jay finally understood why they were so surprised. Of course, after being in such an accident, no one could be completely fine.
"Ahem, and there is one more thing that I want to tell...", the doctor seemed a bit hesitant with the topic which he was going to tell.
"It's fine doctor, you can tell me. Don't worry much...", Jay smiled and showed himself as if he was ready to accept anything.
"Actually..."
"You are the very first human to have born with 2 hearts..."
"..."
The moment he said that, there was utmost silence. It was as if the entire hospital had lost it's voice.
"W-what did you say?", Jay was completely shocked by this because this was something he wasn't aware of.
"But, no one had ever told me about this...", Jay found it hard to believe and was ultimately doubting the doctor.
"Hmm, you won't believe me if I say that..."
"Let me be more specific...", the doctor took a deep breath in order to relax himself.
"Alright, let's see..."
"Have you ever had breathing problems?", the doctor asked.
"Y-Yes, I usually used to suffer with breathing difficulties... but how did you know?", Jay asked.
"Sigh, I checked your old records from other hospital during this one moth..."
"Do you want to know why you used to face such problems?"
Jay nodded his head because he really wanted to know the reason. Also, now he no longer felt the same heavy pressure from breathing that he used to feel earlier.
"Hmm, that's because of the second heart that you had..."
"It was actually a non-useful part which was occupying extra space due to which the lungs were being hindered. And specifically due to that your body growth, diseases and respiratory problems arouse..."
"..."
Jay was completely speechless because now he finally realized why he had been suffering from all this time.
"Sigh, I don't know who were all those doctors who treated you but earlier trust me, they were cheaters or fools...", the doctor said.
Jay had his gazes lowered and didn't say anything. IN reality, he never showed to any doctor about his breathing problem other than just one which was when he was quite young.
"Uh, but now I feel good... why is that?", Jay asked.
"Ah, that's because we removed the second heart on your right side which was literally non-functional."
"It was just like a dead piece of tissue or organ and thus we removed it since it had no use other than hindering your own benefits."
Jay smiled and then thanked the doctor who then soon left and so did others.
He was indeed happy for everything that they had done, but then again he could feel that something was different in his body.

"My heart... why is it restless?"
"..."
"Wait..."
"How did I get my heart back?", he was surprised when he realized that his heart was indeed in his body.
"No way..."
"Just what had happened to me?"
"Did I really meet the vampires..."
"Or was that just a dream?"
To be continued...
