My Husband is a 7th Grader

Chapter 24 - My Everything

*Corona's POV*

I don't know how to react as I'm just here outside seeing my wife being defibrillated to revive her.

I can't cry not because I don't feel anything but because I can no longer cry for my eyes are dried out. I'm just here standing helplessly staring and praying for her safety.

Why was everything taken away from me? What did I do to deserve this? Was I a bad child?

First, you took my Mom away. Then, my child. And now, are you going to take away my wife from me? How can you be so cruel to me, dear lord?

I know I'm not in the position to question you but everything is just so cruel. Do I really deserve this? And why me of all people?

Why can't I do anything for the people I love? I don't want to just stand here doing nothing as they leave me. What can I do for them not to leave me?

Tell me what can I do!

Rika... hang on, my wife...

Please don't leave me alone. I no longer know what will happen to me if ever you leave me. So please... hang on...

I know it's cruel and selfish but can you live for me? Don't leave me alone. I no longer want to be alone anymore.

So please, fight for me...

Live for me...

My wife, live with me...

I no longer know what's happening for all I can see is the ground I'm kneeling on.

"Son, stand up. Be strong for her." Dad told me as he arrived and held me by the arm to lift myself.

"Dad..."

I lean myself to him and hugged him again for I can't bear the things that are happening. It is too much for me...

"Be strong. Believe that she will live for you. Don't you trust your wife?" Dad asked.

"I trust her..."

"Then show her that you really do trust her. She can make it. She won't leave you."

Will she make it? Or will she leave me like everybody else does?

But...

No buts. Rika will live for me.

I believe in her. She'll live for me. She'll live for us.

For all the cruel and bad things that happened in my life, she's the only good thing that I consider despite everything.

She married me even she doesn't like me. She thought of me when no one else does. She cared about me when I, myself, don't do that. She fought for me and told everyone that she's proud of having me as her man when I'm just one feeble kid. She stayed despite her wanting to go back to the man who she really loves. She made me happy despite her hurting herself. She made me happy more than herself. She is so selfless even if she thinks she is selfish. She isn't selfish. In fact, she only thought of me everytime and every single day. She made me feel that I'm loved, that I can still be loved, and showed me that I can still love. She is my everything. Losing her means losing myself and my world and my everything.

So I trust her with all my heart the way she trusts me. I know she will live for us and start anew. She's a strong woman. She'll wake up for me. I know. For she loves me and I love her and our love for each other makes us strong no matter what challenge we face. I know, Rika will wake up for me. She'll fight for us for she loves me as much as I love her.

I will wait for you, my beloved wife, Rika.
