Author's P.O.V

Two children was listening to a old woman, while holding a old journal. She's reading a wonderful story of a two male, bound to love in a right place but in a wrong time...

"Phi Off and Nong Gun were enemies before Phi Off fell for him..."

"Phi Off earned Nong Gun's trust and didn't even noticed that he earned Gun's love too..."

"Nong Gun fell in love deeply for him, but it wasn't their time like what Phi Tay said..."

"Sadly, Nong Gun passed away without continuing their love story..."

"Years after Gun's death, Off followed him..."

Yes, 4 years after Gun's death, Off got into a car accident that led him to his death...

Off didn't make it...

"In the last page of his journal, Phi Off quoted..."

'Love must be so painful that it killed me inside, it never bloomed again and died along with my love for Gun...'

"I saw this journal beside Nong Gun's ashes..." A old woman said, smiling...

"That's it?! Where's the rest of the story??" A girl asked, furious.

"Calm down my dear, grandma must be tired. Let her rest..." A nurse said, calming these curious children...

"I'm not tired, I can tell more..." Grandma said...

"Tell us, tell us!!" A cute boy said, excited.

"You see, even though their love story ended tragically, I'm sure they'll see each other in another life and this time, they'll stay together..." Grandma said.

"What Phi Off said was true. Love will always be painful. That's why you must be prepared to risk everything for it..."

"What about Phi Tay and Phi New? What happened to them?" A cute girl asked her.

"Phi Tay died at the age of 62 while Phi New died just a year apart from his husband..."

"What about Phi Arm?" The boy asked her.

"He died at the age of 58, he didn't make it either..." Grandma sadly said...

"What about Phi Gunther? Isn't he also part of Phi Off's journal?" The girl asked, curious...

Grandma was about to answer her but an unexpected visitor arrived...

"Aunt Kitty!!" A young fine gentleman arrived.

"Gunther..." Grandma kitty said, happily looking at him.

"How are you? I bought gifts for the kids!" Gunther said, smiling...

"I'm glad you're here. I was just telling a story about your Uncle Off and Uncle Gun's love story..." Grandma said, chucking.

"When your son and I grew up, you keep telling us their story. I wasn't expecting that you're gonna pass this story to my nieces..." Gunther said, chuckled.

"Their story is worth to be told. The history should continue..." Grandma said.

"I'm already 31 years old and yet I'm still hearing this story..." Gunther.

"Have some patience for me. I'm already old, I have to tell this in order for them to pass this story for their future children..." Grandma.

"You didn't change aunt kitty, still the same..." Gunther said, laughing lightly.

"You see, we all know I'm dying. I'm just waiting for the right moment for me to sleep in peace. That's why, while I'm here, I'm gonna tell them everything they need to learn in order for them to grow happily..." Grandma kitty said, smiling.
