2 years had passed . 

" I still think about Ethan on some days. It's still sad to recall them " Olivia wrote in her journal. 

She had started to keep a journal after she moved into her new house. 

" Maybe , he is still in that same old town , waiti- " 

She started to cough very loudly , Stan immediately hurried in and gave her some water. 

" Ol , you have been coughing like this since a week , do you have cold ? " Stan asked 

"  Think , I have some kind of cough , I'll get it checked with the doctor , Stan " 

" Yup "

                                                                                    ******

Olivia was walking down the aisle . 

" Ms. Somerville " 

Olivia was inexplicably reminded of her job application.

" Yes " She responded 

" Dr. Susan will see you now " 

She walked in . 

" Ah ! A delight again , Olivia "  Dr. Susan spoke but it sounded easily fake. 

" Hello Susan , what do my test reports say? " 

At this Dr. Susan's face fell. 

" I'm very sorry to say this Olivia " 

Olivia was not prepared- 

" You have been diagosed with Lung Fibrosis " 

Her heart skipped a beat.

" What ? How - but I am not smoking or drinking anyhow " 

" This disease , specifically " idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis " is an incurable disease , it happens due to slow failure of lungs " 

Her brain seemed to be going way too slow to grasp this . 

" -And how long do I have ? " 

" I give about 2 months " 

Her heart fell , she was shaking , sweat was dripping down and she was numb.
