The Memories


Streams of water flowed down my face. I tasted and found salt in the rain. Just realizing the tears had escape, i wiped them away without letting him know.
No, i don't have to hide it anymore. He isn't there since that day. The day he turned around and moved into that room.

The sun shined brightly, creating an effect whereby the grass shines. Due to the overnight rain droplets. It is today, finally, the day has arrived upon our hardships of going through everything. I picked up my phone, press speed dial no.1. He picked up the phone almost instantly.
"Happy 2 years anniversary!"Both of us shouted through the phone together at the same time.
As usual we ended up laughing.
"I will be picking you up in 20 minutes."Sky said.
"Sure i will see you soon then!"With that the call ended.
i put on my usual long black pants and a grey and white tank top. Drew my eyeliner and went out to the living room, waiting for the knock on the door.
A few minutes later, Sky knocked on the door, i opened and found him smiling like a small boy, who just found something he like for a very long time. Pulling away from my thoughts, i opened the gate, stepped out and went into his arms. I locked the door and went off to the nearby shopping center for lunch. After lunch we went to shop around for winter clothings as winter was coming in another 1week time. During the evening we went to the park to enjoy the sunset.
"Lya you know something?"Sky questioned
"Yes? what is it?"
"You have to know i am leaving soon."
I laughed , thinking he was playing a prank on me.
"Going home soon?" I teased.
"No. i am serious. The operation has only a chance of 20% that i would survive."
I stared at him, eyes wide open, unable to digest whatever he just said. His face mirroring mine, our eyes locked for 2 seconds and Sky turned away.
"What surgery?"I swallowed back my tears and questioned
"Brain tumor. It has been with me for more than a year."
"When is the surgery?"
"In two days. Amazing isn't it? Time suddenly seem so precious."
I cut him off halfway."Think on the bright side, there is still 20% of staying alive"
"No. the percentage is too low, it will never succeed."
"Let's just leave it there. Let's stop arguing about it okay?"
"Sure"
Throughout the whole night , silence filled the sir around us. Trying to remember all the happy memories that surround us. Tears leaked out of our eyes. Despite knowing the likely results of the surgery, we wanted to avoid it. Thinking of how unfair fate is to make such a nice guy die. Why is life so unfair?
"Let's go. t's time for you to go home."Sky broke the awe silence between us.
"Let's go."

Two days later at the hospital, that was the last time i seen him moving. He was surprised when he spotted me beside his family.
"I hope i could walk out of that room."
"i will be waiting."
"I will miss you. I would think of you every second in there."
"I will too. Come back to me soon."
He brush his lips against mine and that was the last touch i got from him. The next moment was seeing his lifeless body lying on the bed. Unknowingly, tears escape from the side of my eyes. I bid farewell to his family members and left. Convincing myself that that is not Sky, Sky might be still hanging around at the void deck waiting for me.
*
The tears stinging my eyes brought me back to reality. I stood in front of his grave.
"Happy 3year anniversary."
With that i knelt down and broke down in front of him during the winter season. Hoping i could join him soon. Very soon.
