She had already tried so many times, many calls, many voice mails but she got no response.
"Please pick up please", she was again dialing his number, with a hope that he might pick up but there was still no answer. She was frustrated because she had been calling him for past week and he hasn't contacted her once, she throw her phone because of frustration, but soon realizing that it was dumb to do so because she couldn't find where her phone was now but suddenly, the sound of her ringtone buzz through the atmosphere. She was crawling on the floor, trying to find her phone but she lost her hope when the ringing stop just to again ring and that gives her hopes a support and this time she was able to find it.
" Why the hell you didn't answer my calls earlier, I thought something happened to you or you have left me", she said hurriedly not giving a chance to the person on the other side of the phone to talk. She was about to say something when the person on the other side said. " Are you Kim Sa-rang"
"Yes, I am" she realized that this was not the person she was waiting for.
" I am calling from the hospital"
"Hospital?", She was confused.
"Yeah, we want to inform you that we got a donor for your cornea, the surgery can be done in two days but you need to get admitt tomorrow morning for tests and other stuff".
"What?.... But-t I was told that-t it might take many-y years" her voice was shaky because of the sudden confession.
"It just turns out to be like that, do you want us to pick you up, or you can manage on your own", the stuff member asked her.
"It will be great if you pick me up", she said excitedly.
"Okay, please get ready in the mory, we will be picking you up", he confirmed.
"Okay". She said and the line cut.
"I am so happy, finally I will be able to see, I would be able to see Dong-Soo", she said, and realized that he isn't picking her calls.
"Dong-Soo ah, I'm getting my eyes back, I will be able to see you please be at the hospital tomorrow, I want to see you please", she said another voice note.
The next morning she was picked up from her house, she tried calling him as many times as she could. She was happy but her happiness were incomplete without him. Before getting into surgery she asked about the donor, where she learned that he was just a 23 years old boy with holes in her heart, he has been an hopeless case since childhood and was only completing the days left in his plate.
The surgery went well but the results were not clear until after one week, the bandage was removed. Before removing bandage , doctors warned her not to open her eyes immediately. She was not happy, she wants to be happy but the person she wants to see was not beside her. She decided to look for him after getting her eyes, even she had to travel all around the globe.
Doctors removed the bandage, and asked her to open her eyes slowly. She was afraid, that she might not be able to see again. Flashes of memories run through her mind, memories of past four years when she closed her eyes and then open them to only get disappointed because everything was dark no matter if her eyes were opened or closed.
She felt like someone grabbed her hands, in an attempt to give her courage. Smile drew on her face. "Dong-Soo is that you?", "Yes", she heard. At that moment she took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes. Only a creak was opened but she could still witnessed all the lights. She again tried to open her eyes more and see could witnessed everything. Lights were still blinding her sight, and it was not clear but see could tell everything that was surrounding her.
Doctors asked her some questions but she was looking for someone. "Dong-Soo where are you?" She asked looking at her left from where his voice came from.
No one was on her left, she looked at her right but she couldn't see anyone. She asked doctors that was there anyone but doctor replied that the room was just filled with her and nurses. "But he said yes", she cried. " No one said yes", doctor claimed.
She was asked few questions about her sight and she answered, she was asked to rest for a while and keep her eyes closed. Everyone left except one nurse who was checking her pulse, " Nobody came?"
"No mam" she responds.
She frowns. " Okay, can I ask you one more thing"
"Yes"
" The funeral of my donor, I want to give him my respect, can you tell me about that?, She asked politely.
"Oh,the funeral hall is in our basement, I can take you there" she said politely while smiling.
"Thank you" Sa-rang smiled.
The nurse took her to the funeral hall, she was sad because she couldn't thank the person who has helped her getting the blessing she has onced lost, she was uneasy, her heart was in pain, with her soul cracking with each minute passing.
Tears rolled down her eyes when she saw the person who has given her his eyes. It was him, she couldn't ever imagine to do so.
