"So what do you prepare?"

Together they started to build a new bond. Alexander tried to share their love story but Alexandra didn't have the idea that the girl in his story was she.

Suddenly,the smile on Alexandra's face vanished.

"What is it? Did I say something wrong?" Alexander asked.

"No,it's nothing. I just wish I had what you had. That love you were talking about." she emotionally explained.

"You had. We had."

"What?"

"Don't mind it,I was just kidding." Then he smiled bitterly.

As days passed by,Alexander gave his full effort just to make Alexandra feel special.

He tried to bring back all their happy memories together. Day after day,Alexandra started to get weaker and weaker. Even Alexander felt the symptoms of aging,but it didn't matter to him. He tried to be strong for her. He tried to stand for her.
