It’s dark, it’s cold, it’s winter. The wind blew so hard, hitting a rusty house. The creaky sound was echoing the entire house. A young boy had lived in the house for years without having anyone else except his mom. He had a terrible cancer that could take him down and losing his battle. Only his mother that he concerned and worried all the time. He did not even care about his own life anymore.
“Mom, why do I have to live like this? This is not fair. I don’t want to leave you”
His mom cried so much at that moment. She couldn’t give him any good answer. The house with its creaky sound turned the moment just like they were cursed with a painful silence and sorrow.
The storm finally over and another day had begun yet the boy and his mom still the same. They lived the useless life. For the boy, he had no hope to live, and for the mom, she had nothing to cure his beloved son.
One day, the boy went up to the city. Miraculously, that day was one momentous day that could be the day he raised and started living his life again. He saw a girl in a CD store. Just like everyone else, he fell in love with the girl. However, he could not take the risk that he had a terrible cancer and it might be taking him away from everyone he loved at anytime and anywhere.
He left the city and went back home. His mom was also there. Seeing every moment that her boy had been through all the day made her upset.
The mom got into her room and opened a letter from a doctor a week ago. The doctor said in the letter that the boy only had one month left to live with his cancer. The mom was crying a lot knowing that his son just fell in love while having a limited time to live.
Day by day, the boy always thought about the girl. One night, he had a dream, in his dream he met a stranger in black with a scythe. The stranger talked to him that he could get the girl if he wanted to and be healthy again while swinging his scythe to the boy. The boy suddenly awaken, he were smiling and much happier just because of a dream. He ran towards his mom’s room and told her about the dream.
“I was dreaming about a stranger telling me that I could get the girl that I saw in the city. What is it? Is it a hope for me?”
“No, my boy. It is not just a hope, it is a reason for you to fight.”
“Will you always by my side, mom? Whether I win or lose?”
“Yes … yes my boy, I will.”
The boy then went back to sleep again while his mom couldn’t continue her sleep. She arose and pray to the god.
“Is this the way you wanted to take my son then I will be okay. Thank you for putting a smile on his face again.”
On the next day, the boy went up to the city again. This time he wanted to make sure about his dream. He walked in the CD store and get a CD then paid it to the girl. He did it every day. He bought a CD every day just to talk to her but he couldn’t tell about his feeling to the girl.
A month had passed and the boy never showed up again in the CD store. The girl wondered and went to his home. She asked about the boy. His mother told her that he is dead and took her to his room.
The girl then had her tears falling down. She saw all the CD packs unopened.. she cried and cried.. she cried a lot because she had kept her own love letter inside the CD packs.. she also loved him……
THE END
