"
Can you please hold this for me. I need to rush to the ladies."He took the book. A minute later I walked out the ladies and saw him holding the book, waiting for me quite patiently. We walked to the elevator and was chatting quite merrily. We were about two minutes away from the place where we would part and then the topic came.It had been about six months, we calculated roughly. Her eyes were still closed but he held on to her hand, waiting patiently for her to come back. He changed his job and took a pay cut, all because he wanted to be there for her. They had been together for about four years. He looked stressed and we could see it from his receding hairline."How is she?""Her condition is stable now. Thanks for asking."But she had not woke up for six months. How could that be stable? Is this even possible? You saw the person you love, surrounded by beeping machines and oxygen tanks. Is she really still breathing? Is this even possible? You came down without fail with hope that she would opened her eyes and smile at you. Would she do exactly that...soon? Is it even possible?"Three...four years. This is what you called true love. I think he wanted to propose to her...but."He didn't finish the sentence but I thought I knew what he wanted to say."Yeah I know. He told us about that."Please wake up...he's waiting for you.~ (C) ramia
