The long wait for Gabriel's consciousness was truly agonizing. I had been bearing this fear of uncertainty and fear of loss for more than a month already. This was by far the most excruciating lie in wait I had in my life. I have to hang in fire and be at the interlude with hell for God knows how long, which was painfully unbearable and mind-breaking.
Gabriel's father was starting to lose hope that his son would still be awakened. Although he wasn't showing it and was still masking his facade with positivity, I could feel his fear as well. His doctors have also advised us to be prepared for what might be the conclusion of Gabriel's condition. There was no assurance from them whatsoever. No one could give us the guarantee that may suffice our fears, not even those highly specialized doctors who do wonders and were gods in the field couldn't give us the undertaking we needed for us not to give up on him.
