When Lisa woke up from her sleep, the first thing she saw was the blinding rays from the hospital room's lighting. She could not see the shadows of objects around her clearly.
Lisa shifted her gaze to a figure sleeping on the chair next to her bed. The figure seemed to be grasping Lisa's left hand. The woman could feel heat flowing from the person's palm that was gripping Lisa's tiny palm.
Lisa moved her body a little. She got up from her bed slowly and wiped her eyes which felt heavy. The back of her head still hurt.
The incident yesterday was really unexpected. She fought Karina until she was temporarily blind and was referred to the hospital. Though she could not see clearly, she could hear Oscar's voice talking to Rangga when she was brought in the ER.
The big and strong hand still gripped Lisa's palm with gentle cares. Her thought then wandered for a moment, remembering the touch of the hand of the man sitting beside her bed.
