"Albert? Albert? Babe? Where are you?"I heard my wife finding me. I'm in the kitchen and I was preparing a foods for my wife a simple date in our house will do. Everything was settled. I immediately run into the back of the door and hide.
"Albert? Where are you?" still my wife and I feel that she's walking towards my direction so I off the light and silently hiding. I heard the doorknob is moving sign of my wife is about to open it. And seconds pass the door widely open.
"Albert? Are you in there? Hey Albert?"my wife still finding in me and the whole kitchen is so silent when I open the light. I slowly show her and there I saw my wife shockingly staring at the table I prepared.
"You like it babe?"I asked and hugged her back and kiss her cheeks.
"Of course I like it babe!" aggressively she answered. I guide her to the table until she sit. I'm too happy that even it is just a simple date with my wife it's still memorable for me. It is damn special for me. Because Claire is special to me now.
"Babe, what if I can't live longer?" I automatically stop wjen Claire ask me about it.
"Don't say that babe. I know you can live longer."I force myself not to shake my voice.
"Babe... what if I am sick? What if my sickness is too dangerous?"-Claire
"Stop it babe. What are you talking about? Don't joke at me like that babe. You're not sick babe."-Albert
"Babe I have something to tell you."-Claire
"Spill it babe."-Albert
"Babe I h-have a c-cancer.... I'm so sorry babe. I can't live with you longer."-Claire said while crying. I stand and hug her tightly. "Shh... Stop crying I know you will survive this. We will syrvive, ok?"
"How? How can we survive babe? My cancer is getting worst. It's now uncontrollable. Huhuhu I don't want to die Albert. I want to be with you. Albert what should I gonna do? I can't leave you alone babe huhu. I want to be at your side time by time huhu."she's crying and her body is shaking because of too much crying. "Don't say that babe. If you want to stay by my side always then I'll make or find ways just to extend your life babe. Even if my life will be the exchange of it. So please stop crying. It's too early to cry babe. We just enjoy our simple date babe."after that she nodded I go back to my chair and sit. I grabbed her hand and hold it tight. If my life will be the exchange just to let my wife live longer. I will accept it just to let my wife happy. I looked at her and give her a wide smile.She smiled at me back and we both continue eating our foods.
"Thank you Albert. Thank you that you learn how to love me back now. And if I'll die I will put the thouht in my heart that there is you who loves me forever."
