The steps collide with the asphalt
kupijaki. Every now and then my shoulder hits the shoulder of someone else who walks
obstruct me. My tears flowed without asking. My chest's been tight ever since
I heard from Brother Andrian ten minutes ago.
My steps are getting runnin' even though I know
it will all end in vain. My voice was muffled by my own crying. Thundering
the wind deliberately hit my body. I'm tired, I think I'm already
run as far and as fast as I can. Who would have thought, my head
looking back, it was only two blocks that I passed through from the speed of that step
i pacu.
From where I stand now, I even
I can still see my shop which is only two blocks away. I repeat, only two
block.
Two large palms led me.
My head turned towards the left side, and my eyes caught the tinngi figure with a motor
it's black, which I don't know when the bike came.
One hand rubbed my shoulder,
switch to wipe away the tears that litter my cheeks. Kenzie came and
told me to get on the iron horse immediately.
No need for long talks, my feet straight
I took him on Kenzie's black motorcycle. Both my hands were pulled
ahead, I know what he means, the kid wants me to hold on to him. And
right, after the motorbike was back on, Kenzie forwarded the motor
split the city of Seoul that afternoon.
All the way my eyes closed. Wind that
flying my hair, I ignored it. Some vehicle horn
greeted us. Whether it's a warning to us to be careful or
warning us to lower the speed of the motor.
My heart is beating faster. More
fast compared to when I received Andrian's message and sacrificed
one of my newly budding roses fell on the floor.
The rose I accidentally dropped
hands after I read the contents of Andrian's message.My eyes blurred along
my life was silent without a sound. My legs are soaking, even my whole body
almost eye taste.
Lucky Kenzie came straight and
caught my body that almost fell to the floor. I know, the kid must be
got the same message from Andrian.
Five minutes I restored my consciousness,
and for five minutes I rebelled against the Creator. I said with
loud through my heart ‘This is a lie right? What other drama are you doing
with my life?’
A little compulsion, I forced my feet to
race to the place where Brother Andrian told me. Although my feet
give up on the second step, but my body still forces me to go back
stride over.
Hyerah,
Dhafin's sister was unconscious and rushed to the Hospital.
That short message, but enough to make me
the heat of the fog almost died because of the breath that suddenly felt tight. ‘Don't now,
I begu’. That's the word I always say from the moment I force a step. ‘Cure
my brother, I beg’ and other prayers come with me.
Kenzie motor stops at the intersection of the lights
reds. My eyes caught a lot of people walking in the middle of that highway
black and white stripes where they cross.
My memories instantly floated on the food
also the medicine I prepared for my sister. Did I eat wrong? What
Fuck with becus no becus.
No matter how good I am at taking care of Dhafin,
I should have known that today would come. I should have known that fate
can't be foxed. Many times I have advised others about this,
about the coming and going of man, but stupidly I did not apply to
myself.
Can talk, but cannot act.
Cowardly. Idiotically. Just keep trying without prayer.
The tears that stopped came back
sliding across my cheek. I don't know, I didn't know these tears were falling
many times. All I know is, maybe tomorrow there won't be any more stock of tears,
because my tears are drained today.
“Ra,”
If only I could meet an angel
death and making a life covenant for my brother, I want my life and my life
Dhafin brother in exchange.
“Ra,”
I want Dhafin's brother to live longer.
Much longer.
“Ra,”
I'm the one with the defect that should have been me leaving. I
which is a lot of shortcomings I should have a deadly pain. Why should
my perfect brother?
“Hyera,”
I know pain can't be asked for. I
pain can be brought to anyone. No matter you are content
or shortages. It doesn't matter if you are beautiful or not. No matter you are old
or young.
Pain and death can come at any time without
could request.
“Hyera!”
Both my eyes blinked. My heart is back
it's ticking.
“We have arrived. Come down.”
My eyes stared beautifully at the two beads that were in the
ahead of me through the rearview mirror of the motor. Then my eyes shifted to the big building
but it looks calm and quiet in front of me. This hospital, I remember
nya.
Not the hospital I used to visit
for children with cancer. But this hospital, the house where my father and mother
take the last breath. The hospital where we were treated 12 years ago.
“Ayo.”
I grabbed Kenzie's invitation. Get off the motor
and immediately stepped in the footsteps of the boy.
The interior is still the same. The hospital smell
the typical will smell of medicine instantly stinging as my feet step in more
inside the hospital area.
I thought, it's all the same. There's no one
changed completely even though the time has passed for 12 years.
I was 5 years old, but
I vividly remember how the details of the hospital bear witness to the
the deadly incident that took the lives of my parents. Occurrences
that, that cry, that feeling of loss, came back ringing in
my mind.
Please, don't let it happen 12 years
it happened again in this hospital.
