Imperfect

"Those stars are so perfect and problem free up there" he said as looked I him.

"Everything seems perfect from this far" I stepped towards the river. "I don't know much about science but I do know that when we will discover them, we will find a lot of limitations and ' dis ' in it. They won't be perfect" I looked at the stars.
"Remember Alec, when you said that I have a perfect life?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I'm so sorry about that. I wasn't knowing your problems. Sorry for being a jerk" he said, rolling his eyes.
"No Alec, all I'm saying is that you were right. I have a father who earns and lead my family, I have a mother who cooks and cares for me. I have a house where all of us live and share lovely moments. But that doesn't mean that we don't have small arguments here and there. We do quarrel sometimes. But that's something which makes our bond even more stronger. Imperfect things combine together to make perfect things because perfection is just an illusion. No one is perfect in this world" I looked at him. "You thought that I'm perfect but no, I have my own disease to destroy me. So....what did you understand from my speech?" I chuckled.

"That things seem perfect only when they are imperfect. And all of us are imperfect freaks" he smiled and I joined him. "If you don't mind Harm, can I ask you about your --"

"It's glioblastoma" I said as his raised his eyebrows in shock. I continued " When we got the confirmation about me being effected with it, I already lost two months from my twelve left over months. Then, I decided that I'll live my last ten months flawlessly. I'll pretend to be stronger to live nicely. But today you forced it out of me. You reminded me again , that I don't have time, I won't live longer. But I'm happy because I guess, this gave me some kind of spark of confidence"

"How much time do you have now?" He seemed furious.

"Two and a half months approximately" when I looked at him, he seemed ashamed. "No Alec, I don't regret the time when I was here. Not anymore." I wiped my tears.
Today, Alec was too quiet. He was just watching me with all his focus. He walked towards me and his finger wiped my tears.

"What did you think of me when you saw me for the first time?" He asked, changing the topic. Ugh! His bloody questions are here again.

"Umm....I thought that you are a dickhead" I laughed at his dumbstruck face. He narrowed his eyes. "What else do you expect me to think about you? A guy who wants to kill me at any cost, and also someone who gave me a pet name without my permission, HARM" I laughed again.

"Okay so I change your pet name to banana head" he can't just call me a banana head because of my yellow hairs.

"No! Hell no!" I said as he laughed.

"Why? Atleast it isn't as abusing as dickhead"

"No way! It's too lame. Atleast dickhead seems stylish"

"And what's so fucking stylish about it huh?" He shrugged and I couldn't help but laugh at this truly annoyed man.

"Stop laughing, otherwise.....otherwise I'll give you another pet name, tumor head" he said and I stopped laughing. Alec looked down in embarassment as he realised what he just said. He thinks I'm hurt. But no. I'm not. Thanks to Alec.

I looked at him and laughed, as he joined me.
It seems so long ago when I had this kind of fun. This laugh of mine is rare just like Alec's sexy smile.

God! Today this world seems so imperfect, but beautiful!
