Golden Triangle

Ch. 34 : Another Dimension

Six months later...

A young boy runs in the hospital corridor. He is wearing a graduation gown. In his hands, he carries his graduation certificate and a bouquet of flowers. People already seem familiar with the presence of this child. They just shake their heads seeing the patient's family so excited today.

Knock! Knock!

"Good afternoon, Uncle Gupgup! Fotfot is here~"

There is no answer in words. Only the sounds of some medical equipment fill the room. Fort looks sadly at his uncle who has been sleeping for a long time. Even until the day of Fort's graduation, Gulf still hasn't woken up from his coma. However, he never gives up. He always waits patiently beside his uncle. Sometimes he is frustrated, but he keeps convincing himself that Gulf will recover. His uncle would definitely be healthy again. He repeats those words in his mind which ultimately return his smile and spirits.

"Unclee, look! I've graduated! I'm cool with my graduation gown, right? My handsomeness definitely beats Uncle's handsomeness now~"

Knock! Knock!

"Oh! You're here, Fort!"

"Hello, Dr. Mark!"

"Hi! Congratulations on your graduation!"

"Thank you, doc!"

"You're welcome! Now, let's check your Uncle!", Dr. Mark then does his job.

This young doctor is doctor-in-charge of Gulf. Since he was admitted to the hospital six months ago, Dr. Mark has become the first doctor who treats him. At that time, Gulf's condition was truly critical. Apparently, the poison had damaged several of his organs. Plus, he was late in receiving treatment because his location was very far away and many hospitals refused to treat him. His condition was very serious at that time, but Dr. Mark didn't give up. When other doctors chose to reject after learning about the poisoning case, he was the only one who offered to treat him.

"Doctor, how is my Uncle's condition today?"

"Khun Gulf's condition is stable. His organ functions have improved a lot."

"Is that a sign that Uncle will soon wake up?"

"I can't answer that, Fort. It all goes back to your Uncle. All we can do is waiting."

"Sigh... I just want uncle to wake up from coma... It will be the most beautiful gift in my entire life...", the doctor taps his shoulder and smiles.

"Don't give up, Fort! Let's fight together for your Uncle! I will continue to check the condition of his body and you should keep talking to him so he knows his beloved nephew is waiting for him to wake up on this special day."

Dr. Mark's words make him feel better. He becomes cheerful again. He smiles widely. He is determined to continue talking to his uncle until his uncle woke up.

"Okay, doctor! I will keep talking to Uncle Gupgup until he gets bored of my voice and immediately wakes up. Good plan, right?"

"Hahaha! That's a good idea!"

After the doctor left, Fort returns to his Uncle's side. He looks at his uncle's face which seems to be sleeping soundly. Even though in the past he only hoped that his uncle could sleep well. He never thought that once his uncle slept so soundly, it would last this long. Since lying in a coma, his body has changed drastically. Gulf becomes thin and pale. He pokes his uncle's hand.

"Ding dong! Hello, Uncle Gulf~ When will you wake up? Tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday and Fourth's one month old celebration. Don't you want to see me blow out the candles and make a wish? Don't you also want to hold my baby brother? Get up quickly, Uncle! When Uncle wakes up, I will give the first slice of my cake to Uncle. Fotfot promises!", the nephew raises three fingers.
