yahui's.

i fold the letter as i read it for the nth time.

its been a year.

i miss him so much.

i never expected for all this to happen.

i should have noticed.

there were times when he'd say after a walk that he wanted to sit down for a while but i'd tease him that between the two of us i was the one sick where in fact both us were.

i sighed as i remember that tragic day.

//

yahui squeezed her mother's hand as she felt her chest tighting up.

her mom frantically called for help.

"she needs to get operated now. we have no other choice" the doctor told the mother after examining the girl.

"now? we don't even have a donor" she worried.

"your daughter's boyfriend, xiaojun, am i right?" the mother nodded "his parents came over, handed over a letter and signed the waver for the young boy. xiaojun went to us to be tested and it came out positive that he can be a donor for yahui. seems like his accident might have been a blessing in disguise as his cancer was slowly spreading through his body."

//

i let the tears roll down my cheeks as i sat in front of xiaojun's grave.

"hey xiao, its been a year. i-i miss you so much" i help but cry.

"so much has happened. by the way your sister graduated with honors. are you proud of her? and now i'm becoming an older sister. funny how mama and papa just did that. i'll be having a baby brother soon." i smiled as i talked to him like he was with me.

"i love you so much, xiaojun. things won't be the same without you by my side."

i felt the wind pass by for a quick second and it smelled like his favorite flowers. he must be with me right now and so i smiled.

"thank you, xiaojun. i owe it all to you."
