His mouth is terribly dry and a bitter taste contorts his face. He raises his head a little in the almost complete darkness and after a few seconds of adjusting to the darkness, he sees Eliran staring at him with her deep eyes in a streak of yellowish light that invades the room through the slit in the window shutter.
YEHOSHUA (IN A HOARSE VOICE)
where are we?
Eliran, who cannot speak, being mute and whose dim lighting does not allow her to write him notes, hugs him excitedly around his neck. He gives her a gentle kiss on the cheek, but she moves just right and it turns out that he kisses her ear.
YEHOSHUA
Was that you in my dreams? I woke up several times before and it seemed to me that you were here the whole time.
Eliran's eyes shine in the dark and confirm what he asked. Eliran suddenly puts her finger on Joshua's dry lips, gets up suddenly and leaves the room to return after a short time with her sister Raya.
She quickly began to speak in the language of the deaf and mute with her sister.
RAYA (TRANSLATING)
She waited almost 24 hours for you to wake up. She didn't sleep or eat, she almost went crazy from the moment you was injured.
YEHOSHUA
Tell her, thank you. I don't understand why she takes it so much to heart?
Raya hesitates and then says.
