New Year's Eve

What will you do when someone tells you he will die soon?

***

Death is inevitable. That is what Fidel Laurente believes in; at 26, he was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia. For an average person like him, a new like that is heartbreaking, but it was nothing to him. Somehow he got used to receiving bad news. He was so ready to leave everything behind while overlooking the city, and random thoughts were rushing through his mind, especially his death - he was so glad to say goodbye until she came.

A classic boy-meets-girl, under the stars, drowning from the aroma of flowers, a one epic exchanging of stories, building tight connections, all against the odds. Fidel saw the life he'd left behind once the unfortunate tragedy came. Everything feels surreal, magical, a non-stop New Year's celebration, but one story always has come to an end; it must always face its downfall, fireworks don't last long, and just like what Fidel believes in - his death is already around the corner, dressed in happiness - an inexorable tragedy wrapped in betrayal.

Death is inevitable. That is what Fidel believes in, it is just a matter of how or when it will happen. Now, the question is, what if someone told you he's going to die? What will you do? Would you let him be or stay with him until he disappears like fireworks in the dark?
