Chapter 34

Michael tapped his fingers on his left forearm as he sat there and waited for his mother to wake up. Gayatri is also sitting on another chair as she looked at the woman as she frowned.

"It's already been an hour. Did it not work?" Gayatri mused as she looked at her.

"I don't know. But I would like to wait a bit more." Michael said as he looked at his mother.

He has been working ever since his mother went into a coma, he has no problem with waiting some more times for her to wake up as he sat there and waited for her.

Gayatri watched his as she narrowed her eyes as she clenched her jaws as she looked at him as she sighed to herself and sat there.

Time passed as the two of them sat at the hospital room as two hours passed after the operation as Gayatri looked at him as he kept his gaze on his mother.

'He hasn't looked away even once.' Gayatri thought to herself as she looked at him.

She hoped that his mother would wake up as she doesn't want him to be feeling and acting like this. She remembered how he had acted with her before and she didn't like how he is acting in front of her right now.

'That operation better have worked.' Gayatri thought to herself as she looked at him.

They kept at their place as they watched the woman. 15 more minutes passed as they were in the room as Gayatri looked at Michael as he kept his eyes on the figure of his mother. He sighed as he kept on looking at her as Gayatri watched with sad eyes.

'Mayhe I should go and buy something for him to drink.' Gayatri thought to herself as she looked at him.

She contemplated it for a few moments before she decided that it is something that she could do for the moment. So she was about to get up, but then she heard the sound of a groan as her eyes widened.

She looked towards Michael as he is looking at his mom with a surprised and shocked face as she also looked at him.

'Is she?' Gayatri thought to herself as she looked at the woman.

The two of them watched with bated breaths as their eyes widened when they saw the eyes of the woman open slowly. She squinted her eyes in confusion as she slowly lifted her body up and groaned as she held her head.

She looked around with a confused face as she turned and her eyes widened a bit when she saw the two of them. She blinked her eyes a few times and rubbed them, though she felt that her body is a bit weaker than she remembered.

She looked at him as she felt a form of familiarity with him as she looked at him. She looked at him for a few seconds before her eyes widened with a surprised look.

"M-Michael?" The mother calls as she looked at him with confusion.

"Mom." Michael breathed out as he looked at her in shock.

"You... You're Michael right?" The woman asked him as she looked at him.

"Yes, it's me mom." Michael said to her with a smile.

"You... How did you become so big?" The woman asked as she looked him me.

"Mom... I... It's been... 6 years... You-You have been in a coma." Michael said to her as he tried to keep his emotions in check.

His mom, who has been in a coma for 6 years has finally awakened again as she is sitting on the bed and looking at him. He had dreamed about it a few times but now it is becoming reality.

"A coma... For 6 years...?" The woman said in confusion as she held her head in bewilderment.

She tried to remembered what had happened and then her eyes widened as she gasped and held her head as she is watched by Michael and Gayatri.

"Wh-What about your father? Where is he?" The woman asked him as she looked at him after a few moments.

Michael looked down at that as Gayatri let out a breath at that. She knew that it would have to be brought up some time but even then it is not a good topic to bring up.

"He... He died in the accident." Michael said after a few seconds.

The woman gasped when she heard that as tears appeared in her eyes. They fell down her eyes as Michael watched her as he tried to restrain himself.

He is feeling various emotions at the moment, but he is also trying hard to make sure that he doesn't hug her. Lest he crush her with his strength due to not controlling it due to the emotions inside of him.

The woman sobbed at the thought of the fact that her husband is dead as she put her hands on her face.

'Six years... My husband has been dead for six years... Wait, that means... Michael has been living without us for six years...' The woman thought to herself as she realised that fact.

She looked at her son who is looking at her with a face of longing as he clenched his fists as she raised her arms and wrapped it around him as she hugged him. She felt his body stiffen as she put her face on the crook of his neck as she cried and sobbed.

"I'm sorry... Michael... I'm sorry..." The woman cried and sobbed as she hugged and apologized to him.

Michael tentatively wrapped his arms around her as well as he didn't want to use his full strength as he felt her body with his arms. Tears prickled his eyes as he felt his mother hugging him after 6 years as he chuckled a bit.

"I-It's okay, mom." Michael said as he hugged her gently as his mother cried.

Both at the fact that her husband is no longer with her and the fact that she had left her son alone in the world for 6 whole years.

Gayatri watched the two as she couldn't help but smile at the scene playing in front of her. She just hoped that she will be able to be there for him as she wanted to be of help to him.
