Prologue

While sipping my coffee early in the morning, I heard a commotion near the hallway. I put my coffee on the table and approach the nurse who is shouting.

"What happened?" I asked.

" Patient 105 tried-----"

I didn't even let her finish her sentence. I run as fast as I could to room 105.

I opened the door and saw the old lady lying on the floor.

I approached her and she weakly smiles at me.

" I'm sorry if I make you worry."

"What happened? why are you lying here? Didn't I tell you yesterday to just rest on the bed?"

" I just wanted to look at the scenery. It makes me relax"

" Why can't you just call me if you wanted to do that?"

" I've been a burden to you." she cried.

My tears started to fall down.

" I should have left you if you are burdened to me." I said while helping her to stand up.

" We don't even share blood yet you are so good to me"

I put the blanket on her. " I told you, I treated you as if you're my grandmother."

" And you are the only one who listens to me."

I wiped my tears. " Please don't make us worry. Everyone here loves you. Just please let us know if you need help."

"My death is near... I can feel it" she whispered.

" Don't say that."

she holds my hand " If I die, please keep my belongings".

"Please...." my tears started to fall again.

" I will be reuniting with my lover soon"

I can sense in her voice that she is tired and weak. She is too old to hold on. Even if it hurts, I need to assure her that I will be okay if she will leave the earth.

I kissed her hand and hug her.
