Chapter 1: Who are you?

"We aren't sure when she'll wake up.. so you have to be patient." a calm voice sounded.

"Patient.. I've been patient for a year and there is still no sign of her waking up.. It's been a year I've seen her beautiful eyes or heard her soothing voice.. it's like I'm dying each day.. It's breaking me." another voice interjected.

" I know it is hard for you, take care. I have to go check other patients. Call me if you need anything. I'm here for you." the calm voice said followed by some footsteps and sound of a door closing indicating that the said person has left.

Yu Yan who was lying on a hospital bed was disturbed by these voices, felt someone holding her hand. She wanted to wake up but when she tried opening her eyes, it felt like they were glued shut. When she couldn't open her eyes after some more trying, she began panicking, it became difficult for her to breath.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

There was shouting and shuffling around her but she couldn't hear them clearly anymore. And then she felt a pinch on her arm maybe they were injecting her, she found herself realxing. She could breath again. She tried opening her eyes once again and this time she succeeded.

Her eyes fluttered adjusting to the bright light in the room. All of the people around her were staring at her as if they never expected her to wake up. Then her gaze met another pair of eyes that were looking at her with tears in them. There was so many emotions in them that she couldn't understand.

An hour ago..

Lu Qiang, entered the hospital room which he has grown too familiar with in this past year. As he entered the room, his eyes directly went to the tiny frame of a women resting on the hospital bed.

The woman on the hospital bed was about 26 years old with a light blue hospital gown on her skinny body. Her face is pale and hair are lifeless. She looks a lot different to the lively girl in his memory.

He sighed. It's been a year and every single day he has been waiting here for her to wake up. But it has been the same silence each day as if she didn't want to wake up from her sleep.

Doctor came in at his regular time to check on her again. And it was the same reply as it has been all these days. There was no progress. No sign of her waking up at all. It frustrated him.

Usually when doctor tells him about her condition he maintains his calm. but today he felt like he couldn't hold on anymore.

"We aren't sure when she'll wake up.. so you have to be patient" doctor said.

"Patient.. I've been patient for a year and there is still no sign of her waking up.. It's been a year I've seen her beautiful eyes or heard her soothing voice.. It's like I'm dying each day.. It's breaking me." Lu Qiang said.

" I know it is hard fir you, take care. I have to go check other patients. Call me if you need anything. I'm here for you." Doctor tried comforting him by patting his shoulder.

He knew it was no point holding on, she won't wake up. Many specialists have seen her case and they all told him the same thing. But it was difficult for him to let go. Deep down he held onto the hope.

Lu Qiang looked back at the bed after he heard doctor leave. He walked and sat by her side, looking at her pale face. He held her bony hand in his. After a few moments, he noticed that she's having difficulty in breathing.

He immediately pressed the button to call the doctor and within seconds Doctor and some nurses came through the door. They gave her an injection and she relaxed, able to breath normally. And then something unimaginable happened, she opened her eyes. She woke up.

All the people were so shocked. They couldn't believe she actually woke up.

Her gaze moved across room adjusting to bright light and finally met him.

Lu Qiang felt too many things, he didn't know if he was dreaming again. Her beautiful forest green eyes were staring at him. Before he could comprehend anything he felt her eyes drooping again and his heart sank. What if she didn't wake up again?

He looked at the Doctor in panic and asked, "What's happening? Why did she close her eyes again?"

"Mr Lu, it's really a miracle that she woke up from her coma. It's normal for the patient to sleep again as she doesn't have enough energy right now. Don't worry, she will wake up."

"She will wake up.." Lu Qiang said as if he couldn't believe the words.

Doctor nodded, "Yes, Please inform me when she does. We have to run some tests."

Lu Qiang nodded, his sight never leaving her. He felt so happy that he wanted to scream. He moved closer to her and held her hand.

"Wake up soon Yu Yan.. I'm waiting for you.. "

It's been an hour and she's still sleeping.

Lu Qiang was beginning to feel restless. Just as he was about to call the doctor, he felt her hand move in his hold.

He looked at her and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Yu Yan.. " he whispered, not finding any words to say.

She stared at him for a few seconds and then looked across the room again. Her gaze on him felt so empty that he felt hurt. She again looked at him and this time she wanted to say something but was unable to.

He called the doctor informing him that she was awake. He noticed her looking at the glass of water on the table.

"Do you want some water?"

She nodded weakly. He helped her drink water.

"Who are you?" She asked, her scratchy voice from not speaking for so long.

He felt dumbfounded by her question. Before he could say anything. Doctor came in and told him to wait outside.
