*BROOKE'S POV*

Merry Xmas, everyone! Such a special day. Hari ini natal pertama gue di Canada setelah 2 tahun gue ga balik, dan juga natal pertama gue bareng Kak Cam aka my beloved.

"Merry Christmas, honey." sambut Mom waktu gue turun dari kamar.

"Merry Christmas, Mom, Dad." kata gue seneng.

"Uh, Mom, do you know where's Cam? I didn't see him." tanya gue. Gue udah muter-muter di lantai atas tapi gaada Kak Cam.

"Sorry, sweetheart, I don't know. Maybe he's in the kitchen or in the backyard." jawab Mom.

"Uh, okay, I'll find him." kata gue lalu jalan ke dapur. Waktu lewat pohon natal yang gue taro di deket tangga, gue liat kado yang super gede. Gue liat kartu yang nempel di belakangnya. Guess what? Itu buat gue. Wow. Tapi gaada nama pengirimnya.

"Uh, Mom, is it really for me?" tanya gue ke Mom lagi.

"Yeah, sweetie. Just open it." katanya.

"Oh, okay." gue buka pitanya, lalu kertasnya. Keknya hadiahnya bener-bener fab. Gue buka kotaknya pelan-pelan.

"Merry Christmas, sweetheart!" teriak Kak Cam dari dalem kotak kayu itu. Gue kaget banget. Jantung gue kek mau copot.

"Oh My God, baby." kata gue masih berusaha ngatur nafas.

"Hey, it's for you." katanya sambil nyodorin boneka beruang seukuran gue.

"Godness, Cam!" kata gue lalu meluk Kak Cam erat. Kami kehilangan keseimbangan. Akhirnya gue & Kak Cam jatoh di atas boneka itu.

"Hahah, hey. Do you like it?" tanya Kak Cam.

"I love it, Oh My God." jerit gue. Gue reflek nyium Kak Cam.

"It's so cute." kata gue lalu meluk boneka itu.

"Woah, you kissed me so hard." katanya.

"Sorry, I'm so excited." kata gue malu.

"Hey, it's okay. I like it." katanya lalu ngerangkul gue.

"Thank you so much, baby." kata gue.

"My pleasure, sweetheart." kata Kak Cam lalu nyengir.

"I can't even repay your kindness."

"Just give me your love and your smile. It's enough." katanya lalu nyubit pipi gue.

"Aw, baby. I love you so much."

"I love you more, my Brooklyn."

*CAM'S POV*

So, as you know, she really loves my gift. Gue seneng liat dia senyum, apalagi karena gue. What a heaven.

"Baby?" panggil gue.

"Yeah?"

"I don't know how to express my feelings but I just want you to know that I really love you and I want to protect you as long as I'm alive." kata gue sambil liat langit yang cukup cerah malem itu. Kata-kata gue tersendat di tenggorokan. I'm alive. Gue keinget lagi sama penyakit gue. Ah elah, kenapa gue harus begini sih?

"I believe you, babe. And I also try my best to protect you." katanya. Dia gandeng tangan gue.

"Stay with me. Okay? I love you." bisiknya. Hati gue mencelos. Gimana kalo gue gabisa jagain dia lagi? Gimana kalo dia kenapa-kenapa? Gimana kalo gue mati terus bikin dia patah hati? Godness.

"I'll stay with you forever. Believe me." kata gue. Gue pengen meluk anak 16 tahun ini. Gue pengen jagain dia. Gue pengen jagain hatinya. Dia terlalu muda untuk patah hati.

"I can't live without you." kata Brooke. Air mata gue terus mendesak pengen keluar.

"I pray for us. I pray for our relationship. I pray for you." kata gue lalu tiduran di pangkuan Brooke, supaya air mata gue ngga jatuh sia-sia. Brooke membelai rambut gue.

Gue kebangun karena suara Brooke yang lembut di telinga gue.

"Hey, good morning." sapanya.

"Good morning, muffin." kata gue.

"It's getting warmer outside." katanya. Gue jadi keinget kejadian semalem.

"Uh, did you wake me up to move to my room last night?" tanya gue.

"Wake you up? No." katanya bingung. Lah, jangan-jangan gue mimpi. Kampret.

"So, you didn't wake me up? And we didn't talk outside last night?" tanya gue.

"No. You said you're so tired after the family dinner and you fell asleep from 7pm." katanya.

"Is something wrong?" tanyanya lagi.

"No, no, sweetheart, I just dreamt about you. Sorry, I didn't realize." kata gue.

"Oh."

"I had such a good dream about you."

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah. You said that you love me so much, and you try your best to protect me." kata gue sambil membelai rambut Brooke.

"I really do that in the real life, baby." katanya lalu senyum.

Kembang api yang udah diluncurin ke angkasa. Tahun 2014 udah pergi, digantiin tahun 2015. Brooke meluk gue erat di tengah orang-orang yang sibuk teriak kata Happy New Year. Gue angkat Brooke ke udara.

"I'm so happy." katanya.

"Me either." jawab gue lalu nyium dia. Tanpa peduli tatapan orang-orang ke kami. Ya, mereka tau mereka gabisa ngehalang-halangin cinta dua anak SMA yang masih lugu dan ngga punya pengalaman, yang lagi berusaha keras buat ngerti apa yang namanya cinta sejati, yang ngga tau apa pilihan mereka itu bener, apa pilihan mereka itu pasangan hidup mereka yang sesungguhnya.

"I love you so much, Cameron Alexander Dallas." kata Brooke.

"And I love you more, Brooklyn Cassidy." jawab gue.

Hari itu bener-bener malem yang indah. Lebih dari indah buat gue. Apalagi Brooke, yang bener-bener selalu ada buat gue sejak awal, sampe hari ini, gue bisa bertahan di tempat ini, tanpa ngerasain sakit apapun, Brooke bener-bener kek udah bikin kanker gue jadi ilang. She's my lifesaver. She's my life, and she owns my life.
