"Ji'er"

why?  Why did it felt like... You're bidding a farewell?
This perhaps was in Jiyang's mind but he didn't say it out loud, he couldn't... He doesn't want to... instead he just listened to her

"Yangyang,  Jiyang, my Yangyang take good care of yourself hm? " she cupped his partner's cheek and started caressing it....

"This face... This face that is making my heart go crazy everyday,  every hour,  every minute,  every second,  this face where I feel the warm... This face where I feel my home... This face that I really love.. This handsome face.. " Ajie curved her lips upward, her silver eyes were now so teary that she couldn't clearly see the face she was describing

"How can I.... How can I exactly...let go... Of this face...? " Ajie's tears finally fell.

Pero papaano niya siya bibitawan? Paano niya iiwan ang lalakeng walang ibang ginawa kundi mahalin siya ng lubos at hindi siya nagsasawa na iparamdam na mahalaga siya na mahal na mahal niya nito?
How can she leave the man who love her for his whole life? 
She really don't want it?  Who does!? 
Kung mayroong chance na natitira, kung mayroong genie na biglang lalabas, hihilingin niya na manatili sa piling ng kanyang asawa hanggang sa katapusan ng mundo... But there was no genie nor another chances...  Perhaps, she's too greedy if it'll happen

As the moment she cried,  Jiyang's  tear fell on Ajie's cheek...

He was also crying... 

Hinawakan ni Jiyang ng mahigpit ang mga kamay ni Ajie na parang ayaw niya siyang i let go at iwan siya nito

Because of the sight, Ajie breathed deeply and made up her mind.

"Jiyang... Yangyang look at me look at me... Hundreds,  thousands even million years may pass... The time... The right time...  Our fate will meet again..  That time...  Whether I am a girl,  a boy,  a scary dog,  a flower or a beast. I will still stick to you?  I will forever yours Yangyang" he tried to wipe her tears

Jiyang nodded "...fate will meet... Will stick to you... Will forever yours... Mine... Alone... Ji'er... "

"Yes Yangyang... Yours and Yours alone. Don't cry my Yangyang"

Ajie suddenly held her chest...
It is undoubtedly... The time...

"Hey... Jiyang... I'm sleepy... Ji'er is sleepy... " she coughed

Jiyang gripped his hand tighter, he bit his lower lip hard and closed his eyes tight

"Yangyang can you sing a song for me?"

".... "

"Can you sing that song again then? The one that you used to sing for me. I wanted to hear it... I wanted to listen to it again... For the last time..." ulit niyang sabi kay Jiyang

'for the last time' as soon as Jiyang heard it

His heart was as if stabbed by a thousand sharp swords.

But how can he refused her? 

How can he refused his beloved's.... last request?

He held the thin hand of his wife,  he intertwined their fingers...  Now,  the blood from Ajie's palm stained his but he never cared about it...  He gripped the weak hand tighter and started to hum..

As soon as the first tone went out on his throat, flashbacks were playing on his mind.

"Ehhhh ano nang itatawag ko saiyo? Jiyang?, o Yangyang?, or Peacock?!"

"Let's just pretend you didn't see me okay? "

"Jiyang!  Saan ka pupuntaaaa sandaleee antayin mo kooo"

"Maybe... You like Lady Lin?!"

"Jiyang oh Jiyang what am I to you? "

"I didn't at least flirt you"

"HAHAAHAHAH Jiyang! W-w-wait Jiyang don't --"

"Yangyang... Mag iingat kaaa.. "

"Jiyang stop talking nonsense "

"Hindi ako sasama sayo"

"I will not go with you, how many times do i have to tell you that!"

"Jiyang? Song Jiyang? Prince Jiyang?"

"Jingyi! Mingyu! it's me again I'm here to disturb you two again...."

"I like you, I wanted to sleep with you everyday, I fancy you,  I love you,  I wanted to be with you, I can't stop thinking about you!"

"Jiyanggg hug me tight... HUG ME TIGHTER!! "

"Halimbawa ayokong mamatay kasi gusto kong makasama pa si Jiyang"

"I love you Jiyang "

"My Jiyang"

"Jiyanggggg~"

"Jiyang,  my Yangyang I love you so much"

Tears continued falling on his eyes, it were tears of happiness and joy...

That in his life, he got the chance to meet a wonderful person...

A person worth fighting for,  worth sacrificing for...

A person he want to be with for the rest of his life... Forever...

Yet life really wanted to play a little trick for them.

As soon as he hummed the first line of chorus,  Ajie murmured in a very minimal and weakened voice she asked

"Yangyang... Husband is it alright if Ji'er will... have her deep slumber before you...? "

Jiyang bit his lower lip, it was hard that it bled.
But nothing is harder than hearing these words from the love of his life..

"M-mhn." Jiyang forced a smile and look at his beloved
"J-Ji'er...y-you s-should rest well, o-okay? "

Ajie smiled "Thank you... Jiyang....."

At this very moment,  for Jiyang, everything was in silence...

He could hear no one,  even the flow of water,  the sound of grasses dancing through the wind,  birds singing.

He can't hear it. He couldn't heard anything for a minute.

The tight grip from each fingers started to loose.

Ajie's hand was as if trying to let go of Jiyang's yet Jiyang's fingers refused.
