Chapter nine

You are not able to articulate any words, you do not know what is happening and you are afraid to know ...

Everyone around you moves in slow motion and you can only take your little sister's hand and squeeze it.

You pray for her to open those beautiful eyes and smile at you ...

You have been in the hospital for hours, your eyes only go from the clock that hangs on the wall above to your hands intertwined on your legs.

Your right foot does not stop moving with nervousness and anguish, your hands tremble every time you separate them.

Your despair is unbearable, you don't know what happened to her, why now you find yourself in this situation.

Isn't your life bad enough?

The doctor surprises you with his presence, you stop quickly and walk awkwardly towards him.

He just shakes his head and you swallow the lump that has formed in your throat.
