The morning sun casts its gentle glow upon the hospital, illuminating the corridors and infusing the air with a sense of hope. Outside in Shane's room, Sara stood alongside with her parents, their eyes filled with anticipation. Ivan and Shane's old boyfriend, though initially apprehensive, shared in the collective hope that hung in the air.
Time seemed to pass slowly as they waited, the sounds of chirping birds outside contrasting with the hushed whispers inside the hospital. Finally, the door swung open and Dr. Celo emerged, his expression a medley of emotions.
As he met their expectant gazes, he began, "Well, I have both good news and bad news. The bad news is that time seems to be slipping away rapidly, and we must remain vigilant. But the good news is that Shane's progress has been astounding. I have witnessed her recovery at a rate I've never seen before. The love and support she receives from all of you have undoubtedly played an significant role in this." Sara, couldn't contain her joy, rushing into her mother's arms to embrace a celebration of hope and resilience.
Shane's father reached out to Ivan, patting him on the shoulder, acknowledging his unwavering presence and dedication. Even Shane's old boyfriend, initially unsure of his place, couldn't help but smile, witnessing the love and unity that surrounded them, with a glimmer of optimism in his eyes, Dr. Carter added, "Let's continue to hold onto this hope, for it has the power to work wonders. Let us believe Shane's strength and resilience as we strive for the best possible outcome."
The room brimmed with a renewed sense of purpose as if the collective determination had breathed life into the hospital walls as they all gathered in the hospital room, their anticipation was met with a sudden shift in Ivan's behaviour. He began searching frantically, his eyes scanning the room for something that eluded everyone's understanding.
Sara, observed his frantic movements, her intuition guiding her towards a realization. She quietly followed Ivan as he hurried to the spot where they had shared a conversation the day before. There, amidst the whirlwind of emotions, she approached him wth a mixture of concern and curiosity with a heavy sigh, Ivan sank down onto a nearby bench his face reflecting the weight of his search. Memories of his childhood, the love he had shared with his parents, flooded his mind. He closed his eyes, seeking solace in those cherished moments.
Seeing Ivan's distress, Sara approached him cautiously a glimmer of hope shining in her eyes. "Ivan," she spoke softly, "is this what you've been searching for?" She held out the photograph that had slipped out of his hands the day before, understanding its significance.
Ivan's eyes widened in surprise and relief as he saw the photograph in Sara's hands. It was as if a missing piece of his heart had been restored. He reached out, taking the picture from her with trembling hands. "Sara, I can't believe you found it. This means everything to me." Sara smiled, her heart swelling with joy at having been able to help. "I saw it fall when you were rushing to Shane's room. I held onto it, hoping to give it back to you when the time was right." Sara's voice quivered with a mix of curiosity and concern. "Ivan, I can't help but wonder... Who are you really? You're so mysterious lately and this picture how is it possible for Shane to be in it? It seems like it was taken when she was around by five years old and who is the little boy standing beside her and a couple behind them. I can't ignore these connections, Ivan. Please don't hide it from me. I need to understand, don't worry."
Ivan's gaze is locked with Sara's, his expression filled with a mixture of determination and vulnerability. He paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts before he responded, his voice resolute.
"Do you think I just appeared out of nowhere and fell in love with Shane? If that were the case, why did Shane reciprocate my feelings so quickly? My presence here goes beyond just loving her. I came here to fulfill a long-held promise, one that I made a while ago. I have no other choice but to awaken Shane, to reveal to the world the reason why I am here."
