"Half of your beauty comes from the way you speak"..

I slowly slid down on the tiles floor as tears cascaded my view,what my eyes are showing me is breaking my heart to pieces..

He doesn't deserve this..

I looked around the hospital room which was silent only the beeping sound of the machine was there,I looked at the person on the bed as I felt my walls shattering into pieces..

Usman..

I am the main cause of all this,am the one who gave him cold water to drink even though Aunty Quraish warned me against it..

Usman is not a Nigerian but they come once in a while,he was my childhood best friend,he is a very nice guy,he is 27 years old and also an author..

I ran to his mom and hugged her tightly as I rained apologies on her..

"It is fine Hal":She said smiling..

"Usman is suffering from cancer,last stage":she said as tears slipped down her eyes.

I stumbled a little as I sat on the chair behind me with a loud thud,Ya Allah so Usman is sick and he never told me in the two weeks of their stay,yes he had dropped hints like "Afterall I don't have enough time left",how could I not understand what he meant..

"He had the wish of coming to Nigeria to meet you hence we came,he had been really happy since when we came unlike their he was always moody and tensioned":she said as she smiled a little..

"Aunt am here,he is my bestfriend and he still is":I said smiling sadly..

"I will make him so happy and we will go to alot of places especially when Are....."I didn't finish when we heard someone breathing..

Usman was breathing rapidly as he slowly moved his fingers..

"I love you Mirhal,please marry me":he said in a low voice still closing his eyes..

My eyes went wide as I heard his little confession or rather big..

"It is the injection that is making him blab,he will wake up in some minutes from now":the Dr said smiling as he went out..

Aunt turned and looked at me with pleading eyes..

"Will you fulfil my son's wish?":She asked ..

"Aunt I.... I......I":I couldn't find my voice anymore..

How could I refuse her?

But Areef,our love story..

But I can't be selfish too right..

"Think about it Hal,consider this as a plea from a mother who is on the verge of losing her son and trying to make him happy in every possible way":she said patting my back..

"Yes Aunt":I managed to say..

"I will leave you two together,I trust you":she said making her way out..
