"It looks like that, Luis. The doctor said it's not likely to happen to him. So let's just pray that everything will be okay."He looked at me. He took my hand and stroked my hair with his other hand. "But son, whether you remember us or not, I'm happy because you're awake."I could not understand what was being said but I could see that his eyes seemed to light up and he was satisfied with what had just happened. I saw the same young man in my bed when I turned here.My father came up to me and kissed me on the forehead.There was something I felt that caused me to close up and feel the kiss he gave me.A feeling that I hold when I look back at a time I never thought was part of my past. I woke up to the light hitting my cheek. I looked around and found myself lying on a soft bed.I got up quickly and there I felt the weight of my body and its pain. I immediately gave up

               Her eyes widened and she laughed and said, "Hala! I'm not the one who decides how many minutes or hours you don no! It's not my fault!""Tss."I could still hear her faint laughter as I turned to the TV to watch children’s movies. He didn't speak to tease me about my impatience."By the way ..." he began. "Your mama and papa will be here later in the afternoon. They're just taking care of something important so they'll be a little late."So that means I'm alone in this room again. Whew, okay."Oh don't worry, sweetheart. If you need to be with me now, I'm just here to be with you.""Nah, don't bother. You have another patient to go to, right?" I balk at him. "I'll just be okay here, I'll just watch.""Are you sure? I can accompany you h

          "T-thank you?""Haha all right, I'll be the first."Hmm. I seem to have become famous all over the hospital when I woke up from a coma. But am I the only patient who woke up from a coma here?I was stranded in a place where other patients like me were lying. I sat on the bench near the window where I peeked at the things outside.It was windy on that side so I thought of hanging out there. The sky was a bit shady so it wasn't too hot in my seat.Later a woman sat next to me. She is carrying a baby and is cradling it in her seat.I stared baby. He's very small but his cheeks are swollen, it's like I want to squeeze them. I was curious how it felt when I touched those cheeks!Suddenly the child's mother looked at me as I stared at them intently. It smiled and greeted me, "Hi.""H-hi," I greeted him as

    He just smiled and looked back. "Come in, he's awake," he said to the man at the door.I tilted my head to see who he was talking to. My eye caught sight of a woman who looked as tall and only as old as me.This is the first time I got visited by someone.I don’t know if I’ll be happy for myself or regret it because I don’t remember him.He walked slowly, until his face was completely exposed in front of me.She has a beautiful body, her skin is white, she has a lot of pimples on her face but it can't hide her beautiful face with a sharp nose, bright eyes and thin lips.They were face to face when an actress I saw on TV, Barbie Forteza. Hehe."Where is he?" My sister asked him a weak question and he only answered with a shake.He sighed and turned to me again to introduce what he said was my guest."Maxine, this is Catrina Tabugno. You used to be friends since high

              "No, I'm not." He just shook his head, then get off his car. He walks towards me after. "Look, I'm just trying to give you a ride, okay? Nothing else. And I'm sorry for what I said earlier. Just think of this as a form of ... well, peace offering? And another thing, you’ve been wandering around this place before. Isn't that a misleading name? "He has a point.I sighed in defeat. "Okay, you win. I'm not going with you though because I like you as a person. Just for the peace offering.""Peace offering it is." then he flashed me again a grin, showing his perfect set of teeth.I didn’t say a word as he drove to our town house, even though he was talking to me. I also didn't ask why he knew my house since he and Math are friends. And yes, they were teamm
