There was a particular story in that hospital that many people still remembered until now. In fact, almost all people who would hear that story would become interested about it. These days, many people would say that "Forever doesn't exist". But this story had proved its legacy to those who heard it. It still proved that nothing would last forever, of course.

Even so, it only proved that there's still a kind of love that exists even beyond the forces that govern one's life. The story happened about ten years ago. But up to this day, it would still have an impact to those who would hear it. This was the story of two patients of Room 2984 of the hospital's east wing.

A love story that once belonged to Yamato and Sela.

According to the story, both patients were college students. Living different lives and each were raised in two completely different worlds. Both were simple student, but each had different insights on how to live their lives. It would be impossible for them to meet, right? They were different, after all. But to tell the truth, that wasn't how it happened. In a certain twist of fate, a chance came for their paths to cross.

Sela didn't give much of a care about her life being monotonous in other people's perception. Even though her routine would consist of part-time job, school, and house, it was okay with her. It was because she knew that it won't change. It was like she was just waiting for the right time that she needed. And she was happy about that.

That is, until Yamato came to her life.

Both of them were studying at the same school. In fact, they were even classmates. But just like the usual scenario, they were unaware of each other's existence. An act of heroism was what it it took to change everything. How did that happen? In an attempt to retrieve the test paper that fell from the rooftop, Sela almost fell from there if it wasn't for Yamato pulling her up who happened to be there to unwind for a bit.

"Are you trying to kill yourself? You're still young to even think of that," Yamato rebuked to the girl.

With an annoyed expression, Sela showed the test paper she'd been trying to retrieve from the roof. "If I really had plans to kill myself, I shouldn't have bothered trying to get this test paper. And besides, I should've committed suicide a long time ago if I really wanted to disappear from the face of the earth."

It was those words that made Yamato decide to change Sela's monotonous routine of her life. Maybe it was because of the mystery that those words held for Yamato to continually approach Sela like that. He would be the one to defend her and protect her whenever someone would try to hurt her or insult her.

"Yamato, you don't have to do this. You're only putting yourself into trouble because of what you're doing just to defend me," Sela said to him once when she couldn't take it anymore.

But Yamato only smiled and then said, "I would be the one to decide whether or not I should stop following you and protecting you. But even if you push me away, I'd still think of reasons for me to stay by your side whatever happens."

Those words became the catalyst for Yamato and Sela to finally acknowledge themselves as friends. One day, Yamato invited Sela to go somewhere after her shift at her part-time job. But both of them were surprised to learn something about each other.

"You know about this place?" Sela asked Yamato in surprise when they finally reached the place.

It was a hidden location surrounded by weeping willows that had also an old but still sturdy brick bridge.
