Waiting

Waiting



She sat and waited, for hours until he came to her. He told her that her husband was hurt and was in the hospital. That can’t be true, she thought to herself. He never got hurt, never. Unless, the man in front of her had told the wrong wife. That’s it, she thought. But, as to not make the man feel like he messed up, she went with him to the hospital.

What she found there was like stepping into a nightmare. She saw her husband, lying on a bed, wrapped in bandages. He didn’t move or speak. She sat down next to him and took his hand. Still warm, that’s good. So, she sat with him for days, waiting again. Waiting for him to wake up. Then it happened. As she had her head on the bed, he awoke. And so did she. she was so happy to see her husband wake, she squealed. Her husband, Legolas. Legolas took her hand in his and kissed it. He was alright and she didn’t have to wait any longer.
