chap 16

_Leo I gotta tell u something that u may not like it...
They're in a cab and be at the assisted home in a few mins, Leo looks at mina in silent
_he was blind all this 25 years...
Leo frowns on this word and looks out of the window without saying a word, his heart aches bad.
"if it is true, does that mean he has left me alone all this years! mina doesn’t know him exactly, she may be wrong..."
Leo’s thought is out of his control.
They get out of the car and walks toward the big building in the middle of the garden. After some steps they saw Ravi sitting on a bench and enjoying the sun light. They goes a lil closer but stops when they hear Ravi’s voice

×Leo...how is it!?...I know u hate sun light but lets stay a lil longer...

"He is obviously talking to himself, something like living in his imagination."
Leo thoughts to himself
Mina goes to management to talk about how they know Ravi and take permission of taking him home with themselves.
After some mins Ravi stands up to go inside and is there when Leo goes to him and takes his hand to help.
But Ravi stands there and asks in his husky voice.
×who are u!?...Do I know u!?...
Leo lets his forming tears to shed and sobs quietly.
Ravi touches Leo’s clothes and smells him
×u don’t have nurse dress and u smell good...so I guess...u're a visitor...well who u want to visit...I’m here for years maybe I can help...
Leo says a "u" but he himself either can’t hear his voice.
×sorry...u can’t hear or speak...it's ok I myself...well I can’t...
But he is cut by Leo’s words
+Ravi....Kim Ravi...
×sorry...we don’t have a patient here under that name...
Then he takes his hand off of Leo’s and turns to go inside
+Ravi...
Leo calls and back hugs him, but Ravi protest and tries to free himself again.
×sir...I told u there's no one under that name...
Then he walks in fast steps toward the door even though he trips but he gets up and goes inside
+Ravi…
Leo is behind him and begging to stop for a sec, right after they get inside, Ravi faint and crashed on the ground.
+Ravi...
In a second all the nurses are around him, and take Ravi into a room but one of them stops Leo and says
_sir...plz have a seat in the lobby and waits...
After half an hour a middle aged doctor comes to them
_hi im doctor park...ceo of this assisted home...i heard ure one of the beneficent...
Leo stays silent and let mina to respond
_yes we are and it’s our honor but for now we are Ravi’s family and we are curios about his condition
_ok...but before answering ur question let me ask u a question that I’m curios about...where have you been all this 25 years?...
_27 years ago he was involved in a car accident and all this time we thought he was dead...
_oh...I see...well about his condition...he has a tumor and 27 years ago he went under a surgery...they cut all the tumor in his brain successfully but it was near the vision area and as a result his vision had some problem afterward...but after the surgery he had cried for several months though doctors warned him a lot about losing his vision...near 2 years after the surgery he came hear as his vision was so poor...he barely could see anything...we tried our best to help him but u know they say "if the patient himself doesn't want to get better, even God cant cure him"...something similar has happened to him...a year after he came here he started to live in his imagination and soon he lost his vision completely....
+what about now!?...for what reason he just faint!?...
Leo asks in such a low voice that he doubts the doctor hears him
_well...every time he gets nervous or mad he faints...side effects of the surgery...
+what if he didn't go under surgery that time!?...
_he would die in a month or 2...
+when he will wake up!?...
_around noon...an hour later...u can rest in visitor room until he wakes up...

Around 2 hour later they goes to cafeteria to eating lunch.
They find Ravi sitting alone at a table and eating lunch. Mina signals Leo to sit at Ravi’s table and herself goes to sit at another one.
Leo sits silently on the chair next to Ravi’s.
×who’s there!?...
Leo stays silent
×Leo...
+yes...
×why u're here!?...
He asks and takes noodles in his chopstick
+let me help
Leo tries to take his chopstick but Ravi push his hands away
×I can do it...I’m used to living on my own...
He growls and Leo gets upset a lil and humbles
+I just wanted to help...
×what do u want....why u don’t go to ur beautiful life and leave me here alone?
Ravi's word makes him upset and angry. he makes a fist to control his anger, takes a deep breath and brings his hand to Ravi’s white hair to caress it. as Ravi feels Leo’s gentle touch he turns his head, so Leo takes back his hand.
_Ravi...dr. park wants to see u and have a chat with u...
One of the nurses says with a big smile on her face, slowly Ravi gets up and raises his hand for help
×miyeon...will u help me?
She takes Ravi’s hand and Leo watches Ravi until he passes the exit door of cafeteria.
"why Ravi cant believe that I’m just worry and want to help!?...My guilt feeling is taking over me and he’s making me feel more guilty by his attitudes"
He thinks to himself while playing to the cold food before him now.
Half an hour later Ravi is back to Leo and sits next to him with the help of the nurse.
+is everything ok!?...
×can I talk to u!?...
+of course...im all ears...
×ahm...what happened to ur marriage!?...
+we're cool...I mean...a happy life is what we’ve had all this years...
×where is she now!?...does she know yre here!?...
+yesterday she came back home and said that she has found u...so we came here early at morning...
×so she's here now?
+she's sitting over there...
×can u call her to come here...I wanna talk to u both...
Leo waves his hand and signals mina to go to them. Mina sits next to Leo and says with warmth
