Awake

“Ah.. it’s like this.. Hold on.. Calm your heart down okay.. Don’t be over excited…” She reminded but when she saw that her dad’s eyes became fiercer, she didn’t wait anymore and just blurted the news. “Mom is awake. She’s conscious, Dad! Dad? Hello? Are you okay? I knew it.. I should have said it more slowly.. Dad.. breathe… don’t freeze..”

Edgar Atwood stood frozen for what seemed like a long time. Katherine kept waving her hands in front of him, calling his attention so many times.

Until she jiggled her keys, about to leave the house. Only then Edgar snapped out of his trance, hurriedly putting on shoes and coat.

“You okay, dad?” She asked one more time as they buckled their seat belts. She drove the car instead of her dad.

Edgar nodded robotically. “I can’t believe it.. After all these years..”

“Yeah.. 7 years..” She whispered.
