Chapter 21

Every night when it was possible Levi would go to the hospital and take a look at her from the door, really, she was very beautiful, but it broke my heart to see her there unconscious, when there was no one he would enter the room, take her hand and whispered to him:

- Goodnight! Miss Luna\, I hope you can hear me\, I don't know how you got my little plaque to end up around your neck with a message\, but apparently they come from the future\, I never believed in time travel\, but I've been studying about it and I found out that they are possible\, I don't know what you went through\, and from what time you returned\, I only know that I will protect you with my life\, and I will not allow anything bad to happen to you\, and when you wake up\, you will have to tell me your adventures

Then he would kiss her on the hand or on the forehead and leave, with a heavy heart, to leave her there alone.

When she woke up, the hospital called to inform him, Levi immediately asked to be discharged that day, hurriedly got out in uniform and stopped by a flower shop on the way to the hospital, bought some roses, when he arrived he knocked on the door:

"Luna is expecting someone?" Mike says.

- Not that I know. she says confused.

- In between. Mike says.

- Good afternoon! says Levi\, shyly entering.

— Buddy, I think you got the room mixed up. There are no soldiers here. Mike says.

"I wasn't confused, no. I came to visit your friend, I was the one who saved her, I found out this morning that she woke up from the coma, I'm sorry I didn't, I arrive earlier, but the journey from where I was is a big one — says Levi seriously looking at Luna, handing her the roses bouquet.

— Thank you... — Luna didn't know what to say, because she was thinking of giving a gift to thank the sailor who had saved her and not receiving one even more so having just come out of the coma.

— I wanted to know if... — Levi can't finish the sentence, when he saw her awake, he was so happy, he had imagined that moment for two months, but now he couldn't finish the sentence, the words escaped him, he didn't know why, but something about her attracted him, he had never felt what he was feeling for that girl.

— I wanted to know what, sir… — says Luna, curious, but still a little confused

— Please, don't call me sir, I'm a soldier, but we're almost the same age — says Levi, blushing, but trying not to show that he was nervous, because he never thought it would be so difficult to talk, as he had spoken several times with she in a coma.

“Your name is Levi, right? Luna asks sweetly.

— Yes, I… — says Levi, he had gone through so much as a soldier, and in training as a pilot, and he had never hesitated, he couldn't believe he was hesitating to talk to that girl.

"Mr. Levi, let me make you lunch when you're discharged, to thank you, my mother will be delighted to meet you." says Luna, smiling innocently.

He takes a deep breath and manages to compose himself to say:

— Just call me Levi, I'd like to ask you to go out with me when I'm discharged. But I don't want you to feel obligated just because I saved you. says Levi, trying not to sound anxious, nor does his nervousness show in his voice.

“Levi, I don't feel obligated, I feel grateful, and I really want you to come to my place for lunch. - says Luna happily, still not knowing why that feeling.

"So you don't feel obligated?" he says, a little more relieved, but no less nervous.

—Of course not, I would really appreciate it if you could tell me about your adventures in automation, I always wanted to see the sea, but I also always wanted to be a geneticist like my father, will you give me the pleasure of having lunch with me when I get out of the hospital?

- Clear.

— Can I go to lunch that day at your house too? So I can explain about my wormhole theories, and how he's a military man…” says Mike.

“Oh Mikeeee, I'm tired of hearing about the worms in your head,” Luna says, and then turns to Levi. — He only knows how to talk about time travel, this last time, he said that a portal would appear, in the middle of the sea near Savannah Beach.

— But Luna, I'd like to tell him about the trip, in time, who knows if he finds something, at sea, he'll tell me.

"I'm sorry, but if you find anything like that in the sea, it will be confidential information, and time travel doesn't exist, sir."

“Another non-believer,” Mike says crossly, leaving Luna's room, upset.

Luna laughs heartily and says to Levi:

— Sorry, my friend, he has a worm in his head.

Levi gets up, takes the roses from Luna's arm:

“Leave me for these roses, in a vase.

Then he goes back to Luna, and gives her the identification plate that he found on it:

"What is this, Levi?" she asks curiously.

“This is my nameplate.

"Why are you giving it to me?"

"Why did I come here to ask you, how did my dog tag end up around your neck in the middle of the sea while I was saving you?" And how was a message in military code written on it in that time?

"I don't understand... what do you mean by that?"

— That you traveled through time and came back, and that you have a proof in your hand, I don't know what you saw and heard there, the only thing I know, is that one of the orders that is on this plate written in code, is to destroy it, but I waited for you to wake up, to see if you would enlighten me, however, from what I see, you don't remember anything, what you experienced, I thought that by handing you the plaque you would remember, but I leave it in your hands.

— No, I want you to destroy it, and don't say anything about it to my friend, because, he would go crazy, this object creates a paradigm.

- Why? Apparently it replaced the object that existed at this time.

“But I want you to destroy it and not say any of this to my friend, or he'll drive me crazy, and he'll drive me crazy wanting me to share details of things I don't remember.

“Wise decision, miss, I see we will get along very well. Levi says with a smile.
