Why? ...just why? ...

Can't we be happy at least for a while...
Why life is so cruel towards us...
Milo was nearly taken away from us just months ago....

But he was back..

He laughed...

He made jokes ...

He teased me and Justin for the cheesy couple we are....

He did well at school just to make us happy and proud....

He did household chores with us ...

Played happily with rebel and rose...

He shined so bright that he lost all his energy and slumped on the ground.....

I thought he will say that it's just one of his stupid pranks...

But when fluid starts to come out of his mouth....

We came to know he wasn't acting..

How dumb are we?

He breathed like he's gonna fade away....

Raspy and struggled......

He was visibly struggling and we can't even do anything to make it stop......

We sat on the hospital waiting area...

Déjà vu ....

But a bad kind....

We wish he would be fine....

Everything was a blur except for the words...

Surgery.....

Transplant....

Critical....

It's a miracle that Justin is a perfect donor...
But it took a lot of courage and love to do something like this....

I felt proud to be an hero's boyfriend......

Or I'll say .... hero's fiance...

The ring shine bright on my shivering fingers...

My whole body is shaking ....

Lips quivering....

With an endless river of tears
....

Waiting killing me... slowly

......

"The surgery went well....both of them made it....we have to wait for Mr.giovanni to wake up...to see whether his body accepts the transplant....both of them will be shifted to the regular ward in few hours...you can see them  after that...."

Those words resurrected me....

My boys made it...

*********

I choked up on my tears as I saw them next to each other separated by a curtain.....

Both of them bundled up with multiple wires....

The unharmonious heart rhythms....

Filling the silent room...

The oxygen helping them to breathe....

Milo had more wires though...

I thought about the pain which made me shiver...

I sat down playing with Justin's hair....

He woke up and gave me a smile

"Hey J.."

"You're my fiance...am not dreaming right?".
