The Dark Secret of the Actress
Chapter 95 RGSA - Totally Conscious

Catalina.

He was stunned and silent like an idiot.

Getting news like this, he should be prancing around like crazy. But strangely he didn't do it and somehow he didn't. He froze in his place like a fool.

The frenzy took a while and Catalina only returned the doctor's hand when Nick helped move her hand. He suddenly regained his senses and hurriedly spoke, "He's really conscious? Really?" ask him in disbelief.

Tatiana sober?

Is he really conscious?

Catalina had no idea what she was thinking. But his whole mind and heart were filled with happiness. An indescribable happiness. The dream that he thought was just a dream, now became real. How excellent. Maybe the wind started to blow in the right direction?

The girl he thought would not be able to survive, turned out to be able to get through all this. What should he do now? He once said he would give it all to Tatiana if she was conscious, but now that Tatiana is conscious, she doesn't know what to do.

Doctor nodded. "Right, Miss Tatiana is conscious. But we still have to monitor it. For a while he may not speak or wake up. But it's not a big deal. It's just a matter of time. He had been unconscious for a long time and his body had been motionless for a long time. He needs more time to adapt post-coma." The doctor explained seriously though no one asked. "Also, he will do a series of therapies if his condition starts to improve" he added.

Catalina nodded quickly. "certain. Fine then," he replied. No matter how much time Tatiana needs to recuperate, to correct her condition, no matter how much therapy Tatiana will undergo, she said, he would always stand by her and would never leave her. "Then can I see it up close? And touch?" Catalina continued. He's not here to watch. He wanted to hug her, tell her a story, sing a song, he wanted to do everything he could to speed up her recovery.

Who knew with her presence here, Tatiana had more wishes and could recover faster?

"Yes, sure. You can keep him by his side. Invite him to talk and make more stimulation so that he gets used to his new life immediately after waking up from a coma" the doctor explained.

"Okay, thank you" Catalina said.

"Then, we'll excuse you." Both doctors resigned. Not long after, the two nurses also resigned. Leave Catalina and Nick looking at each other, and Tatiana who is still lying in her bed.

After the departure of doctors and nurses, Catalina walked towards Tatiana with her heart beating fast. Between nervousness and joy, he could no longer tell the difference. But it was clear that he felt both emotions.

While Nick, he walked beside Catalina and clasped her hand, equally nervous. But he looked much calmer than Catalina who blatantly showed his nervousness.

After reaching the bed where Tatiana was lying, Catalina did see Tatiana's eyes open. Totally open, wide. The girl who usually only slept and slept when she came, now solemnly opened her eyes.

Catalina let go of Nick's hand and grasped Tatiana's fingers carefully. The infusion embedded in the back of Tatiana's hand was one of the most important in sustaining her life during the coma.

Nick brings a chair closer and presses Catalina's shoulder so the girl doesn't make things difficult for herself. The girl sat down obediently and started touching Tatiana's face.

Tatiana, who was already conscious, could feel a gentle touch on her face. This warmth, a warmth he had not felt for a long time. He knew the touch was coming from Catalina. Her sister. His twin sister. The sister he hadn't met in a long time, was also the only person he really wanted to meet.

He wants to do something.

He wants to embrace her. But his body is too weak. Even to raise his hand he could not. A drop of light fell from the corner of his eye. He's very sad. Being helpless is really stifling. But she was grateful that this was no longer a dream. This is reality. Catalina's presence here is a reality. What a beautiful reality.

He refrained from being sad after realizing that.

Because no matter what happened to her, no matter what her circumstances, she was sure Catalina would never leave her.

Catalina rubbed the tears that fell at the corner of Tatiana's eyes and commented a thin smile. "Tatiana, you're finally awake. Don't grieve. Please," he said, looking to the side and Nick nodded slightly. Please allow Catalina to say whatever she wants to say. "I'm so happy, don't ruin this happiness" he added.

Tatiana moved her fingers, and Catalina immediately grasped them. "How are you doing now? Do you feel better? Where does it hurt? Which part is uncomfortable?" Catalina leaned over a few questions to Tatiana impatiently.

Tatiana was eager to reply to his words. But he really can't. Throat's dry. Even after the doctor who had examined him gave him a drink, he still felt dryness in his throat. It made him unable to say a word even though he wanted to.

Seeing that Tatiana's sight looked weak as if she was going to fall asleep again, Catalina went back to her voice, "You know, it's four in the morning. And I won't let you sleep. I mean, I'm afraid that if you close your eyes, you're gonna go back to sleep, long, long, long enough to make people around you desperate." He paused for a moment his words. "If you want, let's not go to sleep until later, until I'm sure you've slept only for a little while, not for hours, not days, not weeks, not months," he continued while holding back the tears that had accumulated in his eyes so as not to fall.

Every word that came out of his mouth was a reality that still made him uneasy. He was afraid that if Tatiana closed her eyes, the girl would not wake up again.

Like the fear that had been terrorizing him all along. The same fear still did not go away even after Tatiana came to her senses. He knew he might need psychiatric help. But he was pretty sure the psychiatrist wouldn't be much help either because the only way to make it better was Tatiana.

If one could guarantee Tatiana would not be in a coma again, perhaps her mental state would improve that very second.

Nick touched Catalina's shoulder and patted her gently. "Tatiana will improve. Believe me," he said.

"Do you think so?" He asked in a low voice.

Nick nodded. "certain. I'm so sure."

Catalina commented a thin smile. "It was the best entertainment I've ever heard." All this time, only he knew. He hid it very well because he knew it was his weakness. He does not want to show his weakness to others. But Nick, the guy always knows what's on his mind. His fear, anxiety, as well as anxiety, the man knew it all. And he always tried to help her defuse her.
