Dream Lovers (Part IX)
The car finally pulls up to the hospital. Mat pulls himself from the car and plops down into the wheelchair. His father pushes him to the room where Hannah lies in a coma. He knocks on the door and Hannah's mother opens it. She looks down at Mat and says," You must be Mat." She bends down and hugs him. He recognized her. She was just as she appeared in his dream. " It's nice to see you again, Mrs. Stevens," he said. She straightens up and looks down at him and asks," When did we meet, young man? I don't remember meeting you before." He smiles at her and replies," It's hard to explain, ma'am. Can I see Hannah please?" She steps aside as his father pushes him into the room. He pushes him next to her bed so he can see her clearly.
Mat sits and stares at her and starts to cry.
He turns to look at the rest of them and says," It's her, dad! It's really her! I have found her!" He reaches and takes her hand in his. He pulls himself up so he can look down at her. He bends over and puts his head next to hers and whispers into her ear, " I'm here Hannah. I'm right next to you. I love you and I will never leave you again." Everyone stood watching with tears flowing down their faces. How could this be real? He squeezes her hand and continues," I'm here, Hannah. Please open your eyes and look at me. Don't leave me alone. I need you! Please open your eyes."
As he lay next to her, a tear forms in her eye and slowly falls down her cheek. Suddenly, she starts to move. She squeezes his hand. Everyone watched as she slowly opens her eyes. She turns to see Mat staring back into her eyes. Mat cries as he puts his arm across her. She stares deeply into his eyes and asks, " Where have you been? I have been looking for you. We were walking in the park and you just disappeared. I have been looking all over for you!" He holds her close as he cries and replies," I'm sorry that I left you, darling.
I promise that I will never do it again. We will always be together." She lifts her left arm slowly into the air, although it was hard, and looked at her fingers. She turns and looks at him and asks," Where is the ring that you put on my hand. I haven't lost it have I?" He laughs and replies," No darling, you haven't lost it. I took it off for safe keeping." She looks into his eyes and smiles," By the way, the answer is Yes, I will marry you." Everyone stood with their mouths open and tears flowing as they watched everything that happened. They had to admit that a miracle had just taken place.
