I laugh as a he holds me from behind. I turn around and see him looking at me.

I could help but smile after seeing him.

The love of my life.

My crush from when I was 6.

Luke.

Smiling back at me.

I smile at him. A smile which he returns. I reach forward to touch him.
But he disappears.

Not again.

"Al!" a voice shouts from behind me.

I turn and smile at a mini Luke standing in front of me. I pick him up in my arms.

He has the same brown hair as Luke. Same brown eyes that I'd grown to love.

If only Luke was here....

You must be thinking that Luke must have surely lived, like they do in all books. But no.

Today is the day. The day Luke died. 9 years ago. Today is New year eve.

I have graduated college and now am a doctor, saving all the Mini Lukes who are suffering from cancer.

I take out the paper from my pocket and read it again.

Like I do everyday.

DEAR ALI....

If you are reading this then probably I'm not with you. Because if I was alive, I would have never let you read it.

I'm sorry I didn't told you about my....condition. So I've written this letter for you. It has all the unspoken things I've yet to say to you.

You remember the day I met you. When we were 6. You were the most pretty and confident girl I've ever met. I was sure it was the day I started falling for you.

Remember the day when teacher assigned us the play of Romeo and Juliet? I was Romeo and you were my Juliet. That was the luckiest.... No second luckiest...... No third luckiest day for me.

I remember all the days you came to my house and practiced. I was really happy that I took pictures of you secretly. I guess you must have found the photos attached to this letter.

You were the best thing that happened in my life. A bright light that brightened my dark life. A dark life full of diseases, sadness and pain. Pain of being alone and dying.

But after I met you, I suddenly felt a connection. An attraction. You always got on my nerves and irritated me. But that irritation lit the fuse to my already crush on you, which was hidden somewhere in the corner of my heart.

That day when you kissed me in the play, in front of everybody was my second luckiest day. I just wanted to hold you in my arms and confess to you. But I was scared. Scared that if saw the beast inside me that was killing me, you would run away.

But today, on new year I'll confess. I don't know how much time I have left. But now I cannot waste any time left staying away from you. I'll tell you my feelings and spend the rest of my life with you.

If you'll yes, then this will be the luckiest day for me. For a beast, who has got his beauty.

So if I'm not able to confess then this is a confession. If I am then this is a letter of my true feelings for you.

I just have one request. If you somehow, love me back, maybe more than I do, which is quite impossible, then please do cry if I leave. I know how selfish I am to ask you to cry over me. But I've seen you and and known you for long enough to know that you always keep your feeling inside you and never cry. So if you do are feeling sad, please cry.

And do find a shoulder to cry on.

And last thing.

You have to live. Live so that our story wouldn't have a tragic end as that of Romeo and Juliet.

Even though the romeo died, but the Juliet has to live and marry someone else, who can love her as much as Romeo or maybe more.

Just remember, we have a story much better than that of Romeo and Juliet.

Your romeo...
Luke

I put the paper back in my doctor's coat's pocket. And continue with my work in hospital.
