The Back To 2012

47. Thank You For Everything

If Winter is destined not to live long, it may have been a way of life that God intended for him. The fate is not well received by Spring, where he could not willingly let Winter go into the hands of God.

Spring is still optimistic about Winter's recovery, but another case with Winter himself who has resigned if the pain does not heal. If indeed God cannot side with him, then for now all Winter needs to do is convince Spring to stay strong in the face of reality.

During her treatment, Winter repeatedly asked Spring to accept whatever results the doctor told her later.

Every day Spring never tired of accompanying Winter in the hospital. Even though Spring was in the hospital every day, it did not mean he forgot his school. Every day he went to school even though he would go home to accompany Winter in the hospital.

Two months have passed, Winter's body is getting thinner, his face is getting pale, until his hair is already falling out due to chemotherapy that is in his path. Sometimes Spring had to hide when he wanted to cry because he could not see the condition of his lover. What's more when Winter is in pain, sometimes Spring reflex cries in front of him.

Spring had always hoped that her lover would recover from her illness, but doctors had predicted that Winter's life would only last another 10 months. Cancer that has spread throughout the body can no longer be controlled. The thing to do in this Spring is to increase the time with Winter and multiply making good memories for him.

Spring sobbed when the words of the doctor kept coming to his head, making Winter woke up from his sleep because he heard the sound of crying from his lover.

"Why are you crying, what makes you cry?" ask Winter with a worried look.

Spring simply shook his head without saying a word and unwillingly stopped from crying. Winter then held tightly to the body of the woman who was crying sobbing.

"If you cry because of me, stop crying. I'm fine, Spring. As long as you're by my side, I feel fine."

"Why can the doctor predict your death, he's just an ordinary man, he's not a god or a god with power. Why can he say, if you only last for 10 months," said Spring with sobs.

Winter takes off her arms, then wipes the tears in Spring's face. "Stop crying, because I'm still with you. Forget all the things that worry you, because today I'll make her forget." Winter then kisses Spring's forehead and eyes in turns. The crying of Spring stopped after Winter dipped it.

"I don't think I'd be satisfied if it was just your forehead and your eyes that I kissed." Winter smiled with focused eyes staring at the tiny lips of his lover. His hands began to touch Spring's cheeks, and his lips slowly drew closer. Spring was swept in her lover's cradle, her eyes moved shut when her lips began to clash with each other.

True to what Winter said, Spring forgot everything when he was lulled into great pleasure. The kiss that Winter did was able to make Spring feel calm. He could not feel the anxiety and fear that had been haunting him all this time.

The eyebrows stick together and the eyes stare at each other when the kiss is over. Spring's face flushed red as Winter looked at her with a sweet smile.

"Do you feel happy now?"

Spring immediately shifted his gaze. "Stop looking at me like that, right now I'm too embarrassed to see it."

Winter chuckles. "Are you ashamed that we kissed. Shouldn't you be used to it, because we've done it a few times."

Spring sigh. "Oh, it looks like my heart is still not used to it. I don't know why my heart is so fast beating."

Winter smiled, he immediately pulled Spring up to make his body come closer. "Do we need to do it again, so that you get used to it."

Spring immediately swallowed his saliva, his heart was pounding faster and faster than before. "It needs to be done once more, so I can get used to it."

"Of course." Winter started to bring her lips back closer. However, just as his lips were about to land themselves, suddenly someone came over.

"Truly very disgusting" said the man.

Winter and Spring also reflexes to look at the person. And it turns out that the person who came was Skylar.

"I miss you, so I insisted on coming here" said Skylar.

Winter also sighed harshly. "It's not worth it that you miss the woman I already have."

Skylar chuckles. "I'm just kidding, I just came to see you all giving you good-bye."

Just like in his previous life, Skylar left Chicago on summer vacation.

"Are you going to Paris?" ask Spring.

"Where did you know I was going to Paris?" ask Skylar who was surprised by Spring who suddenly knew the city he was going to meet.

"I'm just guessing," replied Spring.

Spring couldn't explain how he knew where Skylar was going. Because if told, Skylar will definitely not trust the Spring explanation.

"Is our heart still connected, so you can know where I'm going" Skylar smiled.

Winter immediately throttled. "Ehem... Can you stop teasing her."

Skylar again chuckled to see Winter who was in the bend of annoyance. "All right, I'll stop teasing her. Hm, but before I leave, I'd like to ask your permission first, Winter."

"Izin for what?" ask Winter.

"May I hug Spring for the last time" Skylar asked.

Winter sighed, though he disliked Skylar's embrace of Spring, but Winter couldn't consider Skylar's request to be a form of affection, because Skylar's request is a form of his farewell.

Winter had to allow it. "You can hold her for a moment."

Skylar smiled with excitement. "Thank you." He quickly hugged his ex-girlfriend. "Thank you Spring for being a part of my life. For just a moment, I could feel a great happiness. Even if you cannot be my last love, you will always be my first love. Be kind, never grieve or cry."

"I'm sorry I hurt you, and I'm so grateful to you that you've always been there in my time of need" Spring said, thanking Skylar.

Skylar slowly let go of his embrace, although in fact he was not satisfied to hug his ex-lover.

"I'll go now. One more message for you, keep smiling even if your heart is sad. And for you Winter, even though Spring is healthier than you, doesn't mean he's stronger than you. He is the most fragile creature, please take care of him even if you are sick at this time" Skylar said with a joint look.

Winter nodded. "As long as it's me, I'll make sure she's always okay."

Although his steps felt heavy, Skylar forced his legs to move with his two eyes that seemed to be glazed.

Skylar is not the man that Spring loves, but Skylar is one of the most valuable people in his life, despite only being given the status of an ex-lover and friend. Spring was very grateful to Skylar for always being there even though he never cared about it. I don't know why his heart ached after Skylar left the room. Either feeling guilty or feeling the loss of a good man like Skylar. Spring was very saddened by Skylar's passing.
