You, Like the Stars in the Sky

Prologue

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young woman and a dashing young man. They were best of friends. The man slowly fell in love with the woman and decided to propose to her.

One day, he asked her to have dinner with him to which she said yes.

After they had dinner together, he got down on one knee and looked at the young woman.

"Will you marry me?" he asked her with a very anxious look.

She can't believe her ears. She's too happy to say anything. Even so, she nodded and said yes to him again.

He didn't expect that she would actually say yes. His heart leaped up for joy. His face lit up right away and he got up to hug her.

Anyone can see that they were in their own happy world. Happiness was evident on their faces.

They both got married to one another and lived together inside a cosy little house. It's not too big or too small, just perfect to start a new family.

In their first three years together, they were already expecting a baby. They don't really care if it's a girl or a boy. They promised to themselves that they would treasure their child.

After nine months, the woman went into labour.

"Dear! The child. It's... it's coming!" she cried. She grabbed her stomach and her other hand was searching for something to support her weight.

Suddenly, she felt something grabbed her hand. It's her husband's hand, supporting and helping her.

She knew that at that time, he was definitely the one that she need.

...

After the child; their daughter was brought into the world, she can't breathe. There's no pulse and her heart wasn't beating. She's dead.

The couple could only shed their tears and mourn for her. They clasp both of their hands and pray so that her soul can rest in peace.

"My daughter... why did you have to go?" the woman mourned. She got on her knees and sat beside her daughter. She closed her eyes and cried.

The man also sat beside his beloved daughter and grabbed his hand with the woman's. He closed his eyes and tried to control his emotions but almost failing miserably.

When the Angel of Death heard them when it wanted to reap their child's soul, it pitied them and make it so that they both can see it.

The angel decided to give them two choices. The first one; both of them has to go with their daughter, to die with her. The other one; it can give their daughter the chance to live. The parents have to give half of their lives to the child. If they choose the latter, they will live shorter and so does their daughter.

Both of the parents no doubt chose the latter. They will do whatever it takes to make their child live a happy life.

The angel never stated exactly at what age when the child will die but it did say that there will be a sign when she will die by its hands.
