It had been a week since August and Daniel in the hospital where Alexander his brother was being held victim of a coma that had all his colleagues and teachers without explanation.
It was like ten forty minutes in the morning when a nurse ran out of the room where Alejandro was, his screams echoed in that place.
Immediately Daniel and Augusto enter the room and see how surprisingly Alejandro is sitting on the bed smiling looking at them like when you come back from a long trip.
- Boy I thought you left us! - Daniel says embracing him.
Enter the doctor's door and start to hide, could not believe that he was sitting in bed when a few hours ago he was in an inexplicable coma.
He turns to tell Dr. Daniel that he does not understand what happened that he would proceed to do some tests to determine that it could happen that he did not despair and that he told his brother that his brother had returned.
Augustus was crying, hugging his brother, who gradually spoke again, but slowly.
- Do not cry any more Augustus, I am here.
- You know you're an uncle now.
"If I know, and as soon as we get out of here, I'm going to meet my nephew."
A nurse on the instructions of the doctor who was there took the visitors out of the room so as not to overwhelm Alejandro while they were doing the tests.
Augusto tells Daniel that they should notify Rosmargaret in Venezuela, that they must surely be worried because they had not heard anything from them.
Daniel looks at him and goes to the doctor's office that received them. They knock on the door and announce themselves, and then asks his colleague for a favor that, if they can use the phone, he accesses and marks the call. Josefa answers the phone and tells him that it will happen to Augustus that she calls the night from the embassy to tell her better.
- Josefa, please pass me to Rosmargaret.
- Hello, Augustus greet me!
- Hello, excuse me, Josefa, I have good news.
- Okay, I'll let you know Rosmargaret.
Alo love!
- Hello my love, Alejandro came back from death!
And so they began to talk for a long time about what happened, from his arrival at the hospital and how he took his brother's hand and remembered the words of Felipe that miraculous day.
- Really love!
- If today he awoke from a coma that overwhelmed him!
- My good Vallita is truly miraculous, she has heard you!
Both began to cry like children, so much so that the doctor who was there was moved to see it and suddenly also began to dry a few tears.
Daniel was telling his colleague that he had never witnessed a miracle, as well as Alexander's. After the conversation, Daniel takes the opportunity to ask his colleague, when they would register Alejandro. He replies that in a few hours depending on the result of the routine exams that reminds me that he is a patient who was in a coma for a good time I invite you to have a little patience.
Augusto looked at him and said he was saying, Daniel looks at him.
- He says he's going to leave soon, let your nuisance out!
- He really thinks it's a nuisance that my brother is like this!
- Calm down, Augustus, we have to wait, besides we will not leave without Alejandro, I can assure you.
They both looked at each other and sighed, knowing that what had happened to Alexander escaped any possible explanation, it was as if life had conspired to give him another chance.
Outside in the waiting room, Augusto leans back from the chair where he sat. There he fell asleep from the hustle of the day. Daniel left him for a moment just to take advantage of going to the bathroom and continue talking with his colleague to know a little more about his patient.
Close to Augustus, there sits a mysterious brunette woman, fat, tall and with jet-black hair with a peculiar smile. Augustus suddenly wakes up and he notices the presence of this woman, who kept looking at him.
Augustus sees that strange thing and forgetting that he was not in his country and he did not speak the language, he decides to ask her if she knows him, she looks at him and smiles at him in English that she does not understand what she says.
Augustus gets up quickly to go and find Daniel so he can talk to the lady and tell her to ask. He ran to the end of the corridor and got Daniel who just left the doctor's office that received them, tells him what happened to him and leaving the two look for the mysterious lady, this one goes telling him that, if he is sure of what which says, do not waste your time.
- No Daniel is not a lie she was talking to me, but I did not understand.
- "Oh Augustus, you would not be dreaming!"
- I swear he looked at me and smiled and said something, but I do not know how to speak English.
At the site they observe that there is no one there, Daniel sees some old men and asks if they have seen a lady with the description that Augusto had told him. These affirm that not that they saw his companion asleep and that suddenly he got up and ran out. Daniel looks at him angrily and tells him to leave the paranoia that he behaves to remember that he is in a hospital in another country, that if wants to call a taxi and sends him to a hotel.
Augusto distressed lowers his head and was thoughtful, he came to think that he was asleep, the pain that invaded Augustus was great. A nurse approaches them telling Daniel that the doctor who he needed to see him urgently in his office. He accompanies her immediately and tells Augusto to sit down and wait for him not to go to sleep.
He looks at him indifferently and goes to sit down, while Daniel walks away with the nurse, he looks at the elders as if blaming them for the scolding that Daniel made him. In the office the doctor tells him to come in and feel that he is worried about the results of Alexander's tests, apparently he is completely healthy and does not understand how this improvement turned out, explains that many fellow eminence hospital and of the University where the patient finishes the studies, they have happened to observe the state of Alexander do not conceive the result of the examinations that realized to him after awakening of the coma.
- Daniel says to him that neither he understands nothing, he asks to him if it is going away to him to be discharged and the doctor tells him that he will leave it for the rest of the day and that tomorrow he will safely go home.
Daniel shakes his hand, thanking him for everything they have done for him. He leaves the office and goes to find Augusto where he gets him asleep in the chair, this moves him to wake up.
- I have some good news. something happened to my brother! Not on the contrary, Alexander did well in the exams and tomorrow we take them home.
