ProtectI don't know for how long I've been laying like this, with no strength, not even enough to just open my eyes.
I felt those hands always checking me, soothing my wounds, caressing my face.. Whoever that was, he stood my by side all this time.
One day, I felt the sunlight slightly touching my face like a mother, making me feel warm. I finally opened my eyes and looked around. I couldn't understand how I'd end up here.
Where was I?
What happened?
Why did I feel so weak?
How many days have passed?
I just couldn't understand all those questions that kept popping out in my mind, causing me a bad headache. My stomach hurt.. I had a bandage.. I felt thirsty.. There was no water.. I couldn't even raise my hand.
I tried to call out someone.. It was hard even to speak.. I then saw a silhouette appearing in the middle of the sunlight, coming slowly towards me until I could see him clearly..
A boy with short black hair, tall, handsome, with cute panda-like eyes.
He was holding a tray.. probably some food. I suddenly felt hungry.. He got near the bed, put the tray down and helped me get up, and leaned against the headboard. I tried to stay awake, even though I felt so dizzy.. He helped me eat. Wondered for how long will he continue to do all this for me.. He didn't even know me.
Guy : "How are you feeling?"
I tried to speak, but it seemed as if I forgot how.. I just kept staring at him, asking myself what was that warmth inside my heart..
What was happening to me?
Who was he?
Guy : "Do you like the food?"
I nodded slowly, reaching for his hand and squeezing it gently.. He smiled at me and pinched my cheek then stood up and headed to the door.
Me : "Who are you?"
He turned his head smiling, resting his hand on the doorknob.. I felt like sleeping.. Whether it was a dream or not, that voice remained engraved deep inside my heart, making me feel peaceful.
Guy : "I'm Tao, but you can call me panda."
