When Laura came back, she was very tired from the flight, she laid on bed, unable to talk, eat, nor to do anything at all.
I missed all my week classes to stay home with her, she needed care more than ever and I could rely on none of her friends, I knew I had to do it myself. The first three days were scary, she was pale and slept for whole two days without any food nor water. I got very afraid about her that I couldn’t be a second away from the bed where she was resting, only when I go to bring her food or help her go to the bathroom. As the situation was getting worse day after day; she would throw up, and cough hard until her face turns totally red. I sometimes cried when I saw her going through that. When I trembled while holding her hands, she would keep her eyes closed, facing the rooftop, ignoring my presence. I felt alone in a cell like a prisoner; she was like Snow White on bed, like a princess I would kiss to wake her up, but that was only something that simply could not happen.
-“Laura!” I said the moment she opened her eyes.
She looked at me and smiled and all I could do in return is smile back, I felt my heart reassured. I got closer to her, caressed her hair and kissed her forehead.
She tried to get up, and eventually sat straight her eyes still tired from the long journey. She held my hand, led me to the garden and we both laid on the grass.
-“is there anything you want to tell me my dear?”
-“keep holding my hand as I tell”.
When she said that statement, I was sure something was disturbing her throughout her homestay, the only place she thought that could be changed after her long absence.
-“I was...” she covered her face and started to weep suddenly in my arms.
I wrapped my arms around her and let her cry until all her emotional pain came out.
-“I was diagnosed with a heart problem” she murmured.
- “you will be fine my dear, don’t worry, we will fight this together” I reassured “remember? If there is anything we must do, we’ll do it together”.
I looked her in the eyes and whispered:
-“ if anything shall happen, let it happen. We are beside each other, love, if death must come, let it come, we’ll die like flowers. As long as we are together, fear nothing but god my dear, we still can hold these tears” I said.
She couldn’t say a word, but her silence for me could make some meaning. Her thought couldn’t stop, and the disease could not leave her head since the diagnose day.
