49 Days: Getting Into the Body of a Vegetative Man
2. Go home to a foreigner

The news about Andres who had come to his senses from the coma, made his entire extended family shocked. Especially the brother who did not expect this at all.

"Andres, it's a miracle that you've finally regained consciousness" said Keenan, Andres' brother.

Tagara, who is now overshadowing Andres' body, must try to adjust to his new family. He used to live without a family, a kara, but with Andres' body, he could feel that he had a family. A handsome older brother, also seemed to care deeply for him.

"I'm sorry that the other day I asked the hospital to take out all your life support tools, it's all because I've been desperate waiting for you to recover for the past year, also because the company is collapsing," obviously Keenan for everything that happened. His face was filled with guilt.

"Y-yes, I understand it," Tagara replied as Andres. Maybe his voice sounded stiff.

"Do you want to go home soon after this?" ask Keenan.

"Of course" replied Tagara.

"Alright, I'll take care of everything so you can go back home, but ..." Keenan's face seemed to change, moody all of a sudden.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"We can no longer stay in the old house, Andres. The house has been confiscated to pay off various debts related to the settlement of corporate affairs."

Tagara quietly did not respond, but in the next minute he said slowly. "No problem, brother. The important thing is that I have to get home from this hospital immediately" he said.

"alright. I'll take care of it soon."

Keenan also realized his speech, that afternoon he also invited Tagara to come home. Of course he thought it was Andres, his sister. He did not know that his sister's body had been possessed by another soul. Neither did Tagara, he did not tell Keenan that he was not the real Andres. He allowed this state, which Keenan considered Andres to be, to have their lives run as they should have been before Andres was in a coma. After all, Jordan had already explained to her about Andres' family background.

Andres has an older brother named Keenan, they are two brothers. Their mother and father are gone.

Keenan was given a legacy in the form of a paper factory to be managed, while Andres was trusted to develop the company in the field of Electronics. All of that is based on the interests of the two of them, because the late father knew the ability and value of each of his sons.

"This is our home now, Andres!" keenan

Tagara was quite surprised by the house that must be the current residence of Andres. Although in his previous life Tagara was also not a person to be, but he knew Andres was a wealthy man. Although reportedly the company managed by Andres has gone bankrupt, can only leave a small house that looks rickety to live in now?

All this is beyond Tagara's logic. I don't know what Andres felt if he was also still alive and watching the appearance of his residence now?

"We don't have much money to buy another house" Keenan said as if he could read his sister's silent expression.

Suddenly, Tagara recalls that Jordan also said that Keenan takes care of the paper mill. Was the venture bankrupt as well so they really have to stay here now?

"Does the paper mill keep running and growing as long as I'm in a coma?" ask Tagara.

"yeah. But it doesn't make so much profit. The profits are being turned around for further capital, paying for workers' services, also supporting the cost of living like our food and clothing, can't expect so much from factory output" Keenan said.

Tagara felt there was an awkwardness. But he tried to act ordinary.

Seeing Andres' silent reaction, Keenan finally invited him into the house. He pushed the wheelchair occupied by Andres' body.

"This is your room, there's a housekeeper who can help you here. He'll come every 8am and come home at 5pm."

"Before, I didn't know if you were going back home today, so I didn't ask him to come here today."

"All right." Tagara asked no further.

"Okay, then I'll go."

Tagara flinched with Keenan's speech. Is this brother of Andres going to leave him alone? Wasn't Keenan supposed to be near Andres who had just come home and was in a state where no one was home, because Andres was paralyzed and sitting in a wheelchair, Keenan should not leave him alone in a foreign house.

This house is not only foreign to Tagara, but certainly also foreign to Andres if he is still alive and here.

"You're leaving?" Finally Tagara voiced her curiosity.

"Yes, I can't leave the factory for too long. I'm sorry, Andres."

"Then me?"

Keenan looked at the clock on his wrist at a glance. "It's too late to call Qia. How about I ask Jordan to accompany you here?" abugn. Qia was the Household Assistant that she mentioned earlier, it was impossible to ask her to come because the situation already showed the time outside of Qia's working hours.

"Well, just call Jordan to come here" Tagara dropped out. He thinks it's good to see Jordan again, ask him things he doesn't know, after all only Jordan knows if he can walk this time, it looks like it will be more free to move in front of Jordan, he thought.

...****...

Andres Wu, the youngest son of Steven Wu and Veni Tan, has an older brother, Keenan Wu. Keenan has been married, divorced from his wife and has no children. Andres had never been married, but the last time before his accident and coma, he was once engaged to a girl named Agatha Shu. Reportedly, Agatha still frequented him while he was lying in the Hospital.

"So, am I engaged?" ask Tagara. Of course what he meant as 'me' here was Andres, he asked about Andres again to Jordan who came with him after being contacted by Keenan a while ago.

"Yes. Agatha is always faithfully waiting for you to recover" Jordan replied.

Tagara did not know why she had to trust Jordan from the beginning of her meeting with the man. Not only did Jordan claim to be Andres's best friend, but his side of his heart did say that he could trust the man.

"Then, where is he now? Does he know I'm recovering?" ask Tagara.

"I think he knows."

"Why didn't he come visit me? Is it because I'm broke now?"

Jordan shakes. "No, of course Agatha is not that kind of girl. He'll definitely meet you later but now he's out of the country, taking care of his family's business."

Tagara nodded her head. "Can I trust him?" tanyakanya.

"Of course, Agatha loves you very much." Jordan seemed convinced by his words.

Tagara thought, he should meet first with the girl named Agatha, he would see for himself if the girl was trustworthy, she said, or rather the girl should he suspect about everything that has befallen Andres to cause him to coma.
