The Transition - 3

A couple of minutes later David arrived at the nursing home and went inside the private ICU section. He found Raymond lying on the bed, just like before but without any respiratory assistance. Two nurses and a doctor was on stand by next to him, constantly monitoring his vitals.

Then looking at the doctor he asked,

"Now he can breathe on his own?"

"Yes, he did. It was a bit painful for him initially, so we have injected some sedatives. So he will wake up in some time. Don't worry about it".

Taking a deep breath, David walked up to Sebastian and asked,

"Did he talk or anything?"

"No".

"Did he see you?"

Taking a deep breath, Sebastian answered,

"No".

David touched his forehead all worried and then asked,

"At least now can I tell that poor girl. She again went to his grave today morning. Why are you punishing her like this for the last one and a half year? Why not tell her at least now?"

"Tell her? Are you kidding me, David?"
