It was getting hard with every passing second. Doctors kept saying that Nivritti might wake up any moment now, but she was like Sleeping Beauty. Everyone thought she needed some miracle to wake her up. All were sitting down with their heads placed over their fists and constantly staring at Nivritti.
Sheela and Anil were sitting on the chair next to Nivritti's bed. The doctor said that her vitals were good, her breathing was fine, yet she was not awake. Sheela had her daughter's hand in her hands. Anil was softly caressing Nivritti's forehead making sure not to touch her bandage. He didn't want his daughter to be in pain.
After an hour or so everyone heard a faint groan. All sat up straight and looked at each other. They wanted to know if everyone heard the sound. Apeksha and Jae-Hwa ran close to Nivritti.
"Ritti! Ritti!" said Jae-Hwa.
"Di!" said Apeksha.
