FROM THE DARK TO THE LIGHT
RACHEL TREATED

AT 23:40

HOSPITAL ROOM NO.234, LOTUS WARD

RS. THE LOTUS MEDICAL CENTER

Rachel blinked a few times to gather her focus. He only saw a gray ceiling, a hanging lamp, a weakly-sounding electrocardiogram, a bag and an infusion hose connected to Rachel's right hand. The thick blanket, the cushion, and the soft mattress became his friend lying down now. Rachel's nose felt a little itchy and tingly because she was on a ventilator.

"Are you aware?", asked a new voice entering from the door of the room that Rachel occupied.

"Lo?. Aish pain", Rachel's thesis is holding her painful temple.

"Don't do most haphazard movements first. Drink first", said Hans while taking a glass of water at the table beside Rachel's bed, and then help the girl drink because Rachel's body is still very weak.

After the drink was finished. Hans put the empty glass back on the table and sat down on the swaddling chair to Rachel's right.

"Gue why are you here?. Fainted?", asked Rachel.

"Yes, you fainted. After the Maghrib prayer, I took a walk around the lake and accidentally squirmed a human under a tree that was rolled like a chicken to wait, so I took it to the hospital. Calm down, Alora I'm telling you. He was crying until he almost fainted too, but fortunately was won over by the Elions. Tuh Alora", Hans explained, pointing at a snow-white girl who was lying quietly on the sofa with both eyes closed. Hans gave her a blanket before the girl fell asleep. Alora was exhausted and ended up falling asleep soundly on the sofa.

"Elions were out of the air, he said, seeking the wind", Hans continued.

"Thanks Hans's. I don't know",

"Laper right?. Eat first yes. I just bought green bean porridge mixed with red beans as black sticky rice. After eating this, you have to take medicine. After taking the medicine, you sleep. Let the spit heal. There's a dance tomorrow. I don't want to dance alone", Hans went at length and took a bowl of mixed green bean porridge from the plastic crackle he brought when he went into Rachel's nursery.

Actually, the porridge was for him for dinner, but seeing Rachel was conscious, Hans preferred if the porridge was eaten by Rachel.

"Gue can eat by himself", Rachel said in a hoarse and soft voice as Hans scooped up the porridge for her.

"Related?. Yaudah held it well", Hans placed the bowl of porridge on Rachel's left palm.

Rachel tried to hold her spoon as hard as she could and took a mouthful of porridge. But his spoon fell several times into the bowl because of the fingers and his hands were still very weak.

Although her voice was clearly running out, Rachel still did not want to look weak in front of Hans.

"Pffft where there is weight. I am the one who lemes again. Here", Hans immediately took back the bowl with the spoon from Rachel's hand and scooped a mouthful of porridge for Rachel. Rachel tried to retrieve the bowl again, but Hans immediately prevented it.

"Heh diem's. Lackeys. Just this once. Aaa.",ask Hans.

Rachel, who was still powerless to refute Hans, finally complied and opened her mouth. Rachel then chewed the porridge that Hans had fed into her mouth earlier and swallowed it.

Hans patiently fed Rachel, dabbed her porridge-affected lips, helped her drink water, and took the medicine the doctor had given her. After all, Hans brought the former food and drink Rachel into the mini kitchen available in the VVIP room to wash it.

After finishing washing dishes, spoon, and glasses. Hans put it on the plate rack and then sat back in the swishing chair. In the patient's bed, Rachel had fallen asleep. But both of his eyes shed tears. Hans wiped Rachel's tears with his fingers so as not to drip onto the pillow.

"Ssssttt. Is it a nightmare?. Shhsttt...Rachel's a good boy. Good boy", whisper Hans while gently patting Rachel's head.

Moments later, Rachel stopped crying and her breathing regained order.

Hans stroked his head gently while singing a song for Rachel.

"As long as this heart beats, I will always take care of you until the end of time...

As long as this breath blows, there will be no other love until old together...

Hmm.", humming Hans with a soft and melodious voice.

Rachel grew calmer in her sleep due to the simple yet sweet chant from Hans just now.

AT 01:23 IN THE MORNING

"Cklek" heard Rachel's bedroom door open.

Elions enters while looking at Hans who gives him the code to keep quiet. Elions nodded and covered to sit on the sofa that was beside Alora sleeping. Because tired, eventually Elions also fell asleep with a sitting position, but with his head leaning on the soft and comfortable sofa. Both of his arms were folded in front of his chest and both of his eyes were closed.

For 30 minutes, Hans stroked Rachel's head and hair until she felt sleepy. Unable to withstand sleepiness and fatigue, Hans finally fell asleep with his head on his arms folded on the edge of Rachel's mattress. Hans was still sitting in the swaddling chair.

Seriate...
