Chapter 9: The Sleeping Beau (Tai's POV)
I woke up several times this morning. It was all because of the strange dream of Matt drowning. Every image of the dream appeared again and again – we were playing together, then he fell and drowned… I could still hear his screams for help…
I wonder why couldn't I save him? I just ran following the river that dragged Matt away from me…
Argh! Kami-sama, tell me what happened!!
"Tai-chan, denwa! (Tai, your call!)" I heard Mother called me. Instantly I rushed over the phone. Nobody would call me in this early morning unless for something important. I know this is rude, but I'm worried about Matt right now and if this call is from Mr. Ishida or whoever…
"Moshi-moshi, Taichi desu (Hello, Tai speaking)," I said once I got the receiver.
"Tai?" I recognized the voice. None other than Mr. Ishida, then who else? "Listen, we are going to the hospital now. Matt…" I barely heard the rest of the sentence as I heard one of the most frightening news I least expect to hear.
Matt's now in the ICU.
************************************************************************
The first thing I did when we reached the hospital was to go to where Matt was. He wasn't in the usual SARS patients' ward, but a doctor in the ward showed us to Matt's room.
I didn't know how to express my feelings when I saw him. He was in this very little room, but unlike the usual ward, this room had a respiratory machine, and some other machines I don't know their names. I couldn't stand seeing Matt covered by colourful wires and tubes, and wearing an oxygen mask…
Matt's father was so hurt he quickly turned his face away from his son. I knew he couldn't bear seeing Mat in such condition any longer. And the saddest thing is that neither of us could go any nearer, as we were only able to see him through a window.
But somehow, Matt seemed so calm, like he was serenely slumbering.
Matt has now turned into a 'Sleeping Beau'.
