One-shot :: Hanahaki ✅

:: HANAHAKI ::

( english is my second language )

“Petal?”
I found a petal
It’s red
Red like a blood
--
I heard a coughed
Horrible cough
I felt worried
Who was the one coughing
Even though I doesn’t know who
I still felt worried
Because it sounded horrible and hurtful
--
I found a petal again
It’s still red like a blood
--
“Hana?”
Hana shocked
Her mouth had blood and the red petal
“Is the petal... yours?”
Hana ran away
I never saw a person with hanahaki disease before
She must be in pain
--
“Hana,”
Hana saw my face and ran away
I immediately caught her wrist
“Please don’t run away! I want to help you!”
“Why?”
“Because I hate to see people in pain,”
She calmed down
Well... it’s hard to make her calmed down
“So who is the man?”
“Peter,”
“Peter? The nerd one?”
She nodded
“Please don’t tell him,”
“I won’t. But I will give a hint to him okay?”
“O-okay... thanks Chris,”
“Sure Hana. Rest assure and stay strong for me okay?”
She nodded before she coughed a red petal out
--
“Hey Peter!”
“Yeah?”
“Do you know Hana?”
“Yeah I do. I always saw her in library,”
“You think she’s cute?”
“Kinda? Why? You like her?”
“Nah. You want to get to know her?”
“Sure! I saw her reading my favourite manga yesterday. I wish I can talk to her about that manga because it’s rare to see someone who read that gore manga,”
I smiled fakely
I kinda dislike Peter because he is weird...
“You should! I think you and her gonna be a good duo!”
“Really?”
“Yeah!”
Peter nodded and smiled widely
“Maybe I will talked to her,”
--
“Chris! Peter talked to me today! Is this a dream?”
“Surely not a dream. Congrats Hana!”
“Don’t say that. This is a beginni-,”
She coughed again
I watched the red petal falls to the ground
“Stay strong Hana! For yourself!”
Hana smiled palely
“I hope this pain will gone as soon as possible,”
--
“Hey Peter!”
I called Peter who is devoutly watching the netball tournament
“Oh yeah! Hi Chris!”
“You love netball?”
“No,”
“Oh... then why you are watching them?”
“I’m not watching them. I’m watching Violetta,”
“Violetta? The netball captain?”
“Yeah,”
“You have a crush on her?”
Peter blushed
“My relationship with her is a secret but I will tell you because I believe in you Chris,”
“Ouh. Why you believe me?”
“Because you are a good guy man. I love you! No homo,”
“I love you too Peter. No homo LOL,”
“Hehe... Violetta is my girlfriend,”
“You are taken?”
Peter nodded while still watching Violetta
Hana will not be happy about this
--
The coughing gone worse
“You can leave me Chris. It’s hopeless,”
“I can’t... leave you like this... please Hana? Let me be by your side?”
“No... please don’t... you are making me feel miserable,”
“I-I’m sorry...”
--
I sat on the chair while fidgeting with my hand
I am worried
Today I saw Hana on the floor
With a lot of red and pink petals surrounding her
--
“Please Chris... I don’t want to die...”
I cried
I don’t know why
I don’t know how
I don’t know when I fall in love with Hana...
--
I don’t know how many minutes has passes since I stared at that red petal on the floor
I am really in love with Hana
--
Hana becomes more and more critical
And I’m the same
I cried and cried
Doctor never gives up to reassure Hana to do a surgery but Hana will not do it
She is scared
“Hana...”
She gripped my hand tightly
My hand started to hurt
“Chris... thank you for always being by my side,”
I hold my tears
I can’t cry in front of her
“Hana...”
I need to cough the petal
But I can’t cough in front of Hana like this
No matter how hard I try to kept it in
I coughed
The petal fall right on her hand
“Chris?”

“I-I...”
“I love you Hana...”

She cried
“I know... thank you for loving me Chris... I’m sor-,”
“No! Don’t apologize Hana. It’s not your fault...”
--
It’s getting worse
It’s become harder to breathe
“Hana... I’m sorry but I think I will follow your step,”
I missed her
I missed my favourite girl
--
“Chris,”
“Ray?”
“You want to follow Hana?”
Ray...
Hana’s best friend
And now, I guess she is my best friend?
She knows that I love Hana
How?
I don’t even know
“Hana will not be happy to see you like this Chris,”
“I know. I can’t help it,”
I coughed again
The petals is pinkish and the tip is white

“You really wanna leave me alone huh?”
I’m sorry Ray... Hana...
--
“Chris. It’s been a long time,”
Peter greets me with a smile
I couldn’t smile back
“Chris? Are you okay?”
I nodded
“How are you Peter?”
“Great. I am Violetta's fiancée now. It feels like a dream! I am really happy,”
I feel mad
He is living happily
But Hana?
She suffers
Without even thinking it
I punched Peter
Real hard
“Hana suffers because of you. You should suffer as well!”
And I left
--
I’m on the verge of death
The last petal falls and it’s pure white
I lost
