It was another dense week for Neymar to attend his daily therapy and seek out for an opportunity of recovering his legs paralysis. He was tired of living such a routine without knowing when will he get better. If it wasn't for Alana's words of encouragement and her assistance, Neymar would probably prefer to stop all the treatments right away and decided to accept his faith.

"Trust me, there will be a good news today! I have this gut feelings about it." Alana spoke as she push Neymar's wheelchair throughout hospital hallway. Neymar replies to her with a smile formed at the corner of his lips.

As they arrived at the therapy room, Ali helps Neymar to get on the hospital bed and putting all the electrical therapy equipments on his leg. The whole procedure usually take an hour or two, but this time Neymar doesn't want to have his legs wrapped on the therapy machine for so long, therefore the doctor gave him an adjustment for only 30 minutes. Alana sits by Neymar's side and sometimes she took several photos and videos to send to Rafaella for updates on her brother.

"Wait a minute!" Alana shrieked while holding her cellphone. "Did you just move your toes?"

"What? It moves?" Neymar got surprised when he heard that. Alana immediately stops her recording and shows Neymar and Dr. Antoine about what she caught on her camera earlier. It turns out, Neymar made a big progress at this therapy session and he's starting to gain his hopes back.

Dr. Antoine gave a long explanation about how the electrical therapy send Neymar's nerves system a trigger signal, then the nerves system itself sent back a little movement as a response. He's also thanking Alana's positive encouragement and Ali's obedient works that helps Neymar to gain his recovery. Ali was told by Dr. Antoine to monitor Neymar's movement updates when he went back home and if he's continously enable to move his toes, the hospital will adds another therapy methods.

"See? I told you to always trust my gut feelings."

"After you send that video to Rafa, my phone won't stop ringing." Neymar give Alana a glimpse at his flooding phone notifications. Alana looked closely, until she found one notification that catch her attention first.

"I think i saw Bruna Marquezine's name there."

"You're delusional. I haven't spoke to her since one and a half year ago." Alana turn the phone screen back at Neymar, he was also surprised by the sudden bold gesture from Bruna, after a long silent term between both of them.

"What did she say?" Alana's face turn into wonder. She peeked out her head from Neymar's right shoulder to see Bruna's text, but Neymar pushed her head back with his pointy finger because he thought she's being nosy.

"You're no fun." Alana frowned and being sulky to Neymar by leaving him all alone and approaching Ali that was still talking to Dr. Antoine. Neymar chuckles a little bit after seeing Alana's subtle reaction and focusing his gaze on the phone notification; his smile fades as soon as he read what's inside the message.
