I walked outside my office since I'm done with Ken's files, I'm waiting for him at the front desk near the main entrance door. It took minutes for me to wait then a strong wind suddenly came into the hospital and flew all Ken's files. "ughhh seriously?" I groaned as I started to pick them all up then a siren of an ambulance is wailing so that made me curious. Nurses started to run towards the entrance with a stretchers so I rushed to arrange the files and ask one of the nurses.
"Uhm...excuse me, what's going on?" I ask
"There's an accident at the Sixth Street Viaduct so please excuse me" she pass right through me and runs away
I was about to turn my back and walk back to my office then... "Ken! my son!!! Kenji!" I heard Mrs. Cyrus voice so I immediately turned my back to the entrance and saw Ken lying on the stretcher. I put the file on the front desk and run towards them.
"Ken? KEN?!" I exclaimed while chasing them towards the ER.
As I got it, I saw Mrs. Cyrus and she also saw me, she hugged me tight and crying so hard "Mom what's wrong?!" I ask her while shaking her off
"Someone shot Ken!" She sobs
"Huh?" I run to the nearest area where mrs.. Cyrus is standing and then I saw Ken lying on the stretcher with his stomach filled with blood. I pushed all the staffs around him and hold his cheeks as I began to cry
"Ken! Ken! Wake up KEN!" I screamed then he opens his eyes, the nurses placed a breathing mask into his nose and mouth. "Rose?"
"Ken who did this to you?!" I ask while holding his face even though my hands are shaking in fear. "Ken don't die please"I beg as I hold his hand and kisses it. I couldn't stand watching his whole body field with blood, I raise up his sweater and the gunshot is pretty deep. Blood won't just stop flowing so I pulled out one of the towels from the medical cart and keep the pressure.
"Ken stay with me... STAY WITH ME!" I shouted at him as I keep on tapping his cheeks just to make sure he's awake. He suddenly hold my hand and then after my cheeks and wipe off the tears rolling down. "Rose, a flower that is fragile and sensitive like you... " He said as his voice started to break
I couldn't stop crying while looking at him in this situation "Please live... I'm not yet ready" I begged him as I kneeled down onto my knees "Please...KEN!" I kept on screaming his name and begged harder
"I don't want you to look back from the past, step forward and don't look back at your past" He said softly
"KEN!" I shouted... "please stay..." My voice became softer since I'm running out of air after crying so hard and scream in the bottom of my lungs. I stood up and look at him in the eye. He holds my hand and place it on my heart, "a beat that will move forward" and then he holds my cheeks and place it back to his "Ken... " I sob
"je vous aime" He smiled and closes his eyes, I pulled his hand and hold it tightly, then I heard the ECG monitor wailing and showed a flatline. "NO!" i shouted "Bring the defibrillator!" I ordered them and they rushed to attached it to him "200 joules!" I aver and they charge it to him. Its still on flatline and so I tried it "again!" but then it never worked on him.
I pushed the defibrillator and then it fall down and smashed into pieces. I proceed the CPR and tried to bring his heartbeat back "Dont leave me! DON'T LEAVE ME YOU SH*T! " I cried then I stopped as I couldn't take his heartbeat back. I have no choice than to accept, I hugged his corpse and cried all my pain. I looked at the time and move away from him
"15th of April, Time of death: 12:51 pm, reason gunshot" I stated, I hold his chest and said "a last beat for love" and so they take him away from us...
Its hard to accept that I couldn't have him back, I haven't even replied to him that I love him and now he's dead. There's nothing I can do about it, so I went home alone and went straight to my bedroom. Staring at the photographs of Ken and I that we both took during our trip. My tears aren't stopping from rolling down yet as I feel really unacceptable for Ken's death. I slowly take all the Polaroids off my wall and kept it in my drawers, I pass through a mirror and saw the necklace that Ken gave me around my neck, I decided not to take it off for the memory of Ken.
The day of his funeral came, Brianna run towards me and hug me wearing her cute little smile. "Rose, are you crying?" she asks sweetly
"Sorry Bree, Rose is just sad" I answer her as I tuck her hair behind her ears. She started to lool over for someone until then she asks me
"Where is Ken?" I was surprised when she ask so I looked at Mrs Cyrus
"No, I haven't told her" Mrs Cyrus replied
I let Brianna sit into my lap as I was about to tell her "Bree, Ken can't come to us anymore" I replied
"Why?" She asks ao innocently
"He's sleeping and he can never wake up. That's what we called dead" I explained to her
"So I can't see Kenken anymore?" She asks and she started to pout and cry. I wipe her tears and then she hugs and cried out. "Its okay Brianna... Rose is here" I cheered her up even though that I am crying as well.
"Rose?" Heiley called me."Sorry for your lost" she hugged me and gave me a sad smile "You heard what he said, don't look back"
"I don't know Heiley..."I sob
His coffin was already burried underneath the ground and that is the last time that we will see him. Everyone walks away until I'm the only one left in the cementary, I hold his gravestone for the last time and walk away, just like he said... (don't look back) so I step out of the cememtary without looking back with a smile on my face.
