At the university, Catalina bumped into Stephanie, they exchanged greetings and strolled towards their classroom. Stephanie noticed Catalina seemed serious.
They both took their seats, as usual, they were among the first to arrive...
Stephanie: Cat...
...
...
Stephanie: CAT...
Catalina: What's up, why are you yelling?
Stephanie: You seem to be on another planet, what's wrong?
Catalina: Nothing, all good.
Stephanie: Are you sure?
Catalina: Yes, well, yesterday a patient came into the emergency at the hospital, my colleagues weren't there and I was taken into the operating room.
Stephanie: Really? I'm so jealous, it's always been our dream to be in such a moment.
Catalina: I know, I always wanted to be an important nurse and help in situations like that, but after experiencing it, I don't know, it's a very intense experience, I'm left with a strange feeling.
Stephanie: Could it be that you felt bad for the guy? Did you like him?
Catalina: Don't even joke about that, you know my stance on that. I felt worse for his family, especially his mother, she looked so distressed. I think it's because I miss my own mother, seeing her made me feel this way, his mother is still waiting to embrace him.
Stephanie: Oh friend, forgive me, I'm always so thoughtless. You know you can count on me.
Catalina: I know, don't worry. Although, I must admit I feel a certain unease. He had a head injury that looked pretty bad; he stayed under observation but I don't know what happened afterward, I hope he's doing better now.
Stephanie: Don't worry, friend, everything will be alright, you're just a bit sensitive right now.
Catalina: Yeah, I started my period this morning.
Stephanie: I'll buy you your favorite ice cream in a bit.
Catalina: Thanks, love you.
Then, the girls' teacher arrived and class began. Afterward, as her friend had promised, Stephanie bought her favorite ice cream as they left school and even drove her home. There Catalina met her sister. The three ate together, and after Stephanie left because she wasn't free that afternoon and had to go to practice at another hospital, Catalina and Sofia finished watching some movies they had started and then had dinner and went to bed. The next day was the same, and after lunch, Catalina went to the hospital for her practicum. As always, she organized her space and belongings and was about to sit down to sort some papers when she saw Bruno's mother passing by with a cup of coffee, arm in arm with her daughter.
Catalina quickly got up and approached her.
Catalina: Ma'am, how are you?
Mrs.: Hello, I hadn't seen you again.
Catalina: I only come here until Saturday and because we stayed a few extra hours with your son's case, I was given yesterday off. How is he doing?
Bruno's mother began to cry, and her daughter with her upon seeing her.
Mrs.: My son, my little boy, is not doing well.
Catalina: What did the doctor say?
Mrs.: He's in a coma. The doctor said that it was a blow to the head that put him into the coma.
Catalina: I'm very sorry.
Mrs.: The doctor said it's very likely he won't wake up, and if he does, it won't be for a long time, and he won't be the same. But you know something? I'm going to keep faith, just like you suggested.
Catalina: I'm really sorry about what's happening. That injury he had left me worried, but you’ll see, with all the love he receives, he will recover. Love can conquer all, and where there's life, there's hope.
Mrs.: Thank you for your kind words. By the way, my name is Sandra, it's nice to meet you.
Catalina: The pleasure is mine, Mrs. Sandra. My name is Catalina, and I'm at your service...
