Promise

After finished the agreement earlier, he went straight to room 301 where his wife had been warded. Thanks to his long legs, less than thirty second, he arrived in front of the room. Slowly slide the front door to open, he peered inside the room and saw his wife is still asleep on hospital bed. He steps in and close back the door.

He sit on the chair next to his wife's bed. He look at her face. Still look so pale like before, her shining eyes is still close, there's no smile on her beautiful lips. Her lips are blue as well. He tried not to let out his tears out again. Not in front of her. He can't let her see how weak he is when it comes to her. Slowly, he takes her left hand and grabbed it warmly. All he can just do now is pray. Her hand cold, her whole body still stiff. He kiss her hand and place it to his cheek. Suddenly, her left hand moves slowly and automatically his eyes glance to her face.

"Namjoo?" he called her name two or three more times before finally his wife open her eyes. She stare up in the ceiling before she turn her face toward him.

"Se...Sehun?" her voice still tremble and weak.

He stood up a little bit from his chair to hug his wife. His tears can't stand to hold anymore and slide down his cheek again. He put his face into her hair. Then, he drew back and sit back on the chair. His hand still wrapped safely around her small hand while other hand caressed her hair softly.

"I'm sorry, Sehun...it's all my fault. I do want to tell you about my disease, but...but I can't." he saw her tears slowly slide down on her cheek.

"Why? Why you can't tell me? I'm your husband. I can't just let you go through all this alone. Me, you have me by your side, okay?" his voice shaking.

"It's just that, I don't want to make you worry about me. I don't want to be a burden for you...and...and I don't want to see you to become like this...crying for me..." she caressed softly his cheek to wipe out the tears.

His tears slide down more faster this time. He bow down his head to hide all the tears. Why? Why all this had to happen to them? Can't they just live happily as a husband and wife? Why? He really can't accept all this fact.

"Sehun...look at me, please?" he wiped out his tears before slowly held up his head to look at her calm face. She really didn't seem to bother. Like there's nothing happen right now. Her tears all had gone. It's surprised him. She held up her left hand to touch his side face. She smiled. He didn't understand, how come she can still let out a smile in her condition?

"Can you promise me something?"

He just wait for her to finish her sentences, didn't respond. He not so sure if he can fulfil or promise all things that she wants this time.

"When that time had come for me to go, or if I can't hold this disease anymore longer, can you promise me to stay alive? Live happily like we always do. If you feels alone, I'm giving my permission for you to find someone that can make you happy. That can make you smile again when I can't do that. Even if I'm not being able to be around you anymore, I still want you to be happy. Can you promise that to me?"

"Wha...whatt are you talking about? You don't have to go anywhere. You will stay with me forever. I'm sure, once you get your treatment, you will be healthy again. Like before. Please, Namjoo, don't speak nonsense, I don't want to hear it, and I will not ever to replace you. No one can replace you from my heart. For sure. Please, don't do this to me..." again, the tears rushed falling out on the floor.

"I just want you to be happy, Sehun. That's all what I want. If God had planned like this, like or not, I have to accept this. Please, Sehun...can you promise that to me?" she asked again in her slow voices.
