Hope
Rory’s family was prepared for a long wait. They could wait for months and years. All they want was Rory. His parents were optimistic and were ready to take care of their beloved son until he regains his consciousness. They never listened to their relatives and waited with utter patience.
Unheard Calls
The young footballer was being missed by everyone, especially by his team. The grounds became vacant when he was in the coma state. He used to bind his team together and was the sole reason why their practices were held on time. The coach was equally upset seeing the future of football game bedridden.
Counting Days
Rory spent his three days not being active physically. Being a sports enthusiast it was a matter of shame that he wasted his three days lying on the same bed when he could have utilized it in his training. Had he been conscious enough, he would have run to the field juggling the football or aiming at the goalpost. He could do nothing in this scenario making him vulnerable.
Hard Times
Rory’s parents did as much as they could. They never gave up on their child. On seeing that condition of Rory, they made themselves strong by remembering the childhood of Rory. This gave them lots of strength to withstand that hard time and encouraged them to be more strong-willed than they were ever before.
A New Day
It was the sixth day for Rory in the hospital. Although it was a new day for the world, Rory was not able to sense anything. For others, he was a dead man with a pumping heart. Whereas, Rory’s parents never treated their only child that way. His parents never lost their faith and tried everything in their power to bring Rory back to life.
Questions
Every single day, Rory’s parents used to face some sort of monotonous questions like, “When is he going to gain consciousness?” “Is he going to continue his football career once he wakes up?” “Are you guys not tired of taking care of the child?” and many more. Rory’s parents used to avoid these questions as much as they could but could not escape from these.
