Strangers
"Thud,"
Regina was meditating when she suddenly heard something falling in her father's room. She stood up and rushed to find the cause.
When she saw the scene, her eyes became moist. A metal glass lay on the ground. Khandi's hand was pressed against the table where the glass was placed. Khandi's hand moved of its own accord for the first time since he lost consciousness. The day when he regained his consciousness was not far off.
She reached her father and put the hand back in the comfortable position. "How long will you take to wake up, Father?" She said in a quavering voice.

"Boss, there is bad news," An unknown person in the dark not far from Regina's house spoke on the phone. It was hard to distinguish the gender of the voice.
"What happened?" The unknown person heard the hoarse voice in their head.
"Boss, Khandi's hand had started moving. It looks like he'll wake up soon," They responded.
