Weeks have passed, the operation goes well and today is the day that the doctor will remove the bandage from Jiyong's eyes. The whole three weeks no Dee comes to visit him, to check on him, how's the operation, how's he's doing. She didn't come back after what happened between them. She just vanished.
Those three whole weeks is hell for Jiyong, he cried every night waiting for her. It was harder waiting for her for three weeks than waiting for an eye donor for two years. He asked all the nurses and doctors that checked on him every day if they saw her? Why she didn't come anymore, but no one knows her.
Jiyong asked his parents to look for her, but they failed. They check all the employees at the hospital but no employee has a name like her.
"Mom, please find her." Jiyong pleaded to his mother. "Please Mom, this is the only favor I'm asking from you, please find her."
His parents were happy coz for the first time their son asked for their help, but the help he was asking for, they don't know if they can fulfill. "Jiyong, where do we find her. You only know her as Dee." Her mother whispered hugging him.
"Just look for her please, please Mom."
"We'll try, but we can't guarantee you that we can find her quickly, it will take long Jiyong." His mother explains.
"It's okay, just find her." Her mother sigh and soothingly patted his back.
"Jiyong are you ready?" The doctor asked, stepping inside the room with the four nurses behind him.
"Doc, can all the nurses that attended on me this past two years can be here when you remove my bandage?" Jiyong asked.
"They're here with me because they wanted you to see them when you open your eyes." The doctor said smiling. Jiyong smile, hoping that one of them is Dee.
The doctor slowly remove the bandage from his eyes with the help of one of the nurses while the other just watched smiling. Jiyong's heart was thundering inside his chest, scared, nervous, excited, he don't know what he was feeling right now, but the only thing he prayed is to see her in front of him as soon as he open his eyes.
"Don't open your eyes until I said so." The doctor told him, and he nodded his head in response. His parents were standing just a meter away from him, nervously watching him.
"Open your eyes now, slowly." The doctor said after he removed all the bandages from his eyes. Jiyong very slowly open his eyes but he quickly closed them when the brightness of the day greeted his eyes. His face contorted a little, his eyes hurt a little.
"It's okay, It's normal, do it again." The doctor said.
He slowly open his eyes again, but he quickly covered it with his palm, then slowly open it again, he lower his hand, and at first, his vision was blurry, but slowly It's getting clearer and the first thing he saw is a girl standing at the door smiling at him. He close his eyes again, thinking that it was his hallucination and when he open his eyes again, the figure at the door was gone.
"It can't be her, it can't be Dara, what she's doing in my room anyway." He thought. He roamed his eyes around and the next thing he saw is his parents crying hugging each other.
"Mom, Dad." He whispered.
"Can you see us?" His mother asked with tears streaming from her eyes. Jiyong smiled and nodded his head. His parent broke into tears and hug him tightly.
"Jiyong, do your eyes hurt or you felt anything or you felt dizzy?" The doctor asked.
"I don't feel any pain, I'm good." He answered looking at the four nurses that were standing beside him. He looks at them one by one but no one of them has short hair.
