Chapter 5
Kong POV
I rush toward the water and save AIOON, it's been 10 minutes since he jumped, I can't find him.
Kong: AIOON!! Where are you?? AIOON, please, AIOON
I didn't stop until, I found him, I swim faster to reach him.
Kong: AIOON, PLEASE STAY WITH ME!!!,
When I reach the edge of the lake, I resuscitate him, but there is no response from him.
Kong: HELP!! CAN ANYONE HERE ME!!, PLEASE HELP US!! I'M BEGGING YOU, PLEASE, AIOON

It's been 8 years.
"I'm smiling looking around. The right time has come, the preparations are all set, the venue, the caterer, the music is lovely. It's all done, all I need to do is to calm myself, smile and wait for.
KONG POV
It's been a year and what happened is still fresh, he jumped at the lake, and we rushed him to the hospital but...
"It feels like a lifetime, a thousand days have passed by
Since I held you close to me
If I could see that smile from my friend
I know that I could live again
I need you here with me"
KONG: AIOON don't leave me please, AIOON don't leave me. All the doctor and nurse approach AIOON's body and I'm still crying. What, I have done I don't want to lose him. God please save him.
"Heaven knows what to say
Even though for right now you're so far away
I hope and I Pray
Somewhere in your heart I'll always stay"
They approach AIOON's body, they gave me a towel to dry myself, I sat down for a moment. Since it is fresh to me, I got nervous when I heard the siren an ambulance. All the nurses run toward to the body. I'll try to look, she's looked familiar.
Nurse: What happened here?
Assistant: She got a car accident and she fatal right now!! Call the doctor and relatives immediately!!
?????: Kong, where are you? Kong, where are you?
I heard she called my name, her voice calling me, her voice is familiar, I approach her, my eye starts to cry again and I felt shocked, because it is Kate, and I'm not recovering from the first incident and now here's another one I hold her hand. I saw weakness in her eyes as she looks at me, she holds my hands too, and tried to talk to me as much as she can.
Kate: Kong sorry!
(and tear drops from her eyes)
Kate: I'm sorry Kongpob.
Then she slowly released my hand and I noticed a piece of paper she left for me.
Kate: I…. Love you …. Sorry
That is the last word I heard from her.
Mr. Awarayut: Where's my daughter! Kongpob, where's my daughter?
I can't answer him, the only thing I can do is to look to the corridor where they rushed Kate's body.
Mr. Awarayut: Kongpob, what happened?
That time I can't give him the answer for I know, I can't reciprocate the feeling that Kate's gave to me. Kate's dad ran towards the doctor's and asked how critical her daughter is. They tried to calm him, they decided to go to her room. For all I know that she is safe now but when her father approached me again.
Mr. Awarayut: Kong, my daughter passed away, she told me that not to be angry with you she also told me that if you need helps, I'll need to provide anything for you. Kong my daughters really love you. It is the first time that I saw her like that. Kong
Kate's dad cannot continue, he burst and sit down. On the other hand, I'm still worried with AIOON, as of this moment the I didn't hear any news about him, it's been 30 minutes since we arrived here.
Doctor: Who's with patient Arthit
I froze for a while and looked at the Doctor, I tried to calm myself and ask what the problem was.
Doctor: Mr. Kongpob, you need to find a heart donor, your friend has a weak heart, if we cannot do a heart transplant right now, he will die.
I got shocked from the news, where in the world I can find a heart, but, but if I can't find one, one thing is for sure I'll lose him.
Kong: Can, can I see him, just for a moment. I just want to check if he is okay. Please Doctor, I badly want to see him.
The doctor assisted me, and we went to AIOON's room. From what I see he's peacefully sleeping. I approach him and hold his hands it's warm and soft, I hold it tight for him to realize that I'm here. I checked the room and what I saw is a life supporting machine to help him to survive. Seeing him like this also makes me in pain.
Kong: AIOON sorry for what I have done, sorry please fight for your life, for our future. You remember right we promise that we are going to confess with my family, also you promise that we are going to marry soon.
I stand up and from my pocket get the ring that I intended to give him.
Kong: I know that this is not the right time to give you this but, what if the right time never comes? AIOON I want you to know that I love you for the rest of my life. This ring will symbolize all it. I want you to know that I'm here to fight for you; I'll fight for our love. AIOON, please wait for me. And get better.
As I speaking to him, someone approached me behind my back,
Mr. Awarayut: Kong don't cry, I can help you to find a heart donor. I'm one of the stockholders here and this is one of Kate last wish to help you in time like this.
He suddenly approached the doctor. I didn't know what they are talking about, I'm still confuse. One of the staff approach me and assist me to go outside. I'll ask the staff where I can find a chapel. He gave me the direction and I went there. As I entered the chapel, I kneel down and ask forgiveness for all the wrong things I've done, I asked him to give AIOON another life, and I promise him that I'll protect and Love AIOON for the rest of my life.
While I'm praying.
*radio frequency*
???: Calling the attention of Mr. Kongpob, please proceed to the room of the patient. Again, please proceed to the patient's room
I rushed towards AIOON's room when I heard it; I wonder what will happen if AIOON will not survive. I reached the room and from what I see they try to revive AIOON, everyone's panic.
????: BP FLAT SIGNED, His heartbeat stops, get me the apparatus,
Kong: Please do anything for him. Please let him survive!! AIOON don't do this to me.
A couple minute pass and luckily, they revive AIOON.
????: We recover him, but I think he cannot survive for a long, unless he undergone the operations.
????: Kong, we found a donor, and you need to explain me all.
I search for the voice and when I see my father I hug him tight.
Kong: Thank you Dad!!
My eyes get blurry and I went exhausted. When I opened my eye, my father approaches me.
Mr. Sutchilack: At last you awake it's been 2 days since you collapsed, luckily were here at the hospital.
Kong: What Dad 2 days! Why I'm here at the first place?
Mr. Sutchilack: Son you rushed here two days ago with Arthit; do you remember.
In a flash I remember everything
Kong: Dad!!, Where's AIOON. Dad!! Tell me that he survived, Dad please answer me, where is he?
Mr. Sutchilack: Son please calm down; I'm going to call the nurse to assist us.
He approached the teleprompter to call a nurse. While we are walking in the corridor, we saw Kate's dad, he glances at me and approach us.
Mr. Awarayut: Kong, thank god your awake now,
Kate's dad looked straight to my father. I felt something is wrong,
Kong: Dad, where is AIOON? I want to see him, please.
After hearing my plea, they accompany me both, but in my amazement, we are going somewhere else. It like a morgue. I looked to the both. My tears drop, and from what I see there's a body lying with white mantle.
Kong: Is that,
My father hugs me as I start to cry, I rush toward the body, and...
---
What a memory it had been, but the wounds are still here. Today is the day that I need to be happy and joyful but. Ah I missed you.
Mr. Sutchilak: Kong, let's go, don't make your wife to be wait too much. It's already time, give me a lot of grandsons. I want 1 football team.
Kong: Dad!!, let's go or else, I'll run from this wedding. You knew for sure that I only love one person. You knew that we promise that we belong to each other, but a tragedy happened and because of that I got the courage to do this. Dad!! Thank you for your support.
We arrived at the church. Today is our wedding, I got nervous, what if, I want to question myself but.
I'm in this moment when the music start
"You were just a dream that I once knew
I never thought I would be right for you
I just can't compare you with
Anything in this world
You're all I need to be here with forevermore"
All our guest moved forward to their respective sits. As they are hear the song
"Time and again
There are these changes that we cannot end
Sure, a star that keeps going on and on
My Love for you will be forevermore"
And the most awaited person is here, the church doors open, and from what I see, is Kate, her heart is alive and beating but, as the person near and approach my hands. I knew it is AIOON, the one who I promise to love and the one who I knew that I can have for rest of my life. Thinking this one makes my tears drop, remembering all the problem we face through. But then again, our love survived.
Mr. Sutchilak: Son your bride is the Most Handsome man I see
Kong: Dad!! Stop teasing me.
I reached his hand and we sit down, the wedding start.
Father: And now kiss the bride.
I hold his hands and approach his lips.
Arthit: Yuck!!
All our guest laughed as they hear what Arthit said.
Kong: AIOON, I always love you, and I promise, I'll protect as well as that heart that you have.
We raise our face upward
AIOON and KONG: Kate thank you, for this gift.

After the wedding I reached my table and from there I saw the last piece of paper left with me by Kate. I opened it and read it.
Kongpob,
