The Last Wish

Dinner

Ash is calling...

"Hey."

"What?"

"You sounded grumpy? Did I disturb you?"

"hahaha.Crazy. Wazzup?"

"Let's have dinner tonight," he said.

"Your treat? hahaha," I said jokingly.

"Yeah. I know you won't come if it is not a treat. hahaha."

"hahaha. Of course not. see you.Bye."

"You look pretty tonight," he said

"I am not pretty. I am a goddess." I said and laughed. He is used to it. hahaha.

"Yeah, I know. I know. hahaha"

"Reservation hah? What's going on? Why did you suddenly ask me for a dinner? "

"Let's eat our dinner first. I know you are starving." he said. I shrugged.

Just like the ordinary dinner, we are talking about his upcoming art exhibit. He will be going to Thailand for the Art Exhibit.

"Fiona Meana Smith, I don't want to hide it anymore," he said. I just listened to him.

"But I hope everything tonight won't ruin the friendship that we have. I didn't know when it started but one thing that I am sure of, I love you. Whatever your response, I'll accept it because you are important to me." He said sincerely while holding on to my hands. I closed my eyes for a moment and I looked at him. He is a nice guy. He is attractive but he is not the man that I love. I don't want to hurt him nor reject him but I cared for him.

"There is a better woman for you. I know someday you'll find the other piece of your heart. You'll meet the other piece to complete yourself. I'm sorry but it is not me. As much as possible, I don't want to hurt you Ash but this is the best thing that we could do. I don't deserve you. You are too good to be true." I said. He smiled at me.

"I anticipated it to be your answer. I understand. I respect your decision. But at least I tried. " he said.

"Thank you. I hope you'll find her."

"Soon but not now. It is still you. He is lucky. But at the same time jackass for not noticing you." he said.

"Don't worry. We are still friends." I assured him.

"I know. hahaha. I expect that would you be your answer. But I'm just risking the possibility that there is." he said."Don't worry. I am not hurt. Just a little bit. hahaha." he said humorously.

"Crazy," I said

"Crazy for you. hahaha," he said jokingly but I know he meant it.

"I'll just go to the comfort room first."

"Go on."

I was about to stand but everything went black. I heard Ash's voice then I lost my consciousness.

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. It is all white. Did I die? Am I in heaven? Is it too early to die?

"Finally, you are awake. I was so worried about you. Wait for a while, I'll call the doctor." Ash said. I see. I am in the hospital. I sighed deeply. Did he know already?

The Doctor together with the nurse and Ashton checked on me. Then, he asked the nurse and Ash to go outside for a while.

"Doc?" I whispered

"Did you tell them? he asked.

I shook my head to say no.

" I can't Doc. I don't want them to worry about me. I accept my fate. I don't want to add burden to their shoulders." I said while sobbing.

"But they have to know especially your family." He said calmly.

"I will but not now."

"You have to tell as soon as possible. The medicines that I gave you are not enough to prolong your life."

"I know Doc. How many months left for me to live?"

"I can't tell. You have to undergo treatment. Your immune system is starting to weaken. he said and sighed.

I asked him not to tell my condition about my family. It is too much but that is the best thing that I could do. Whatever happens, I accept it.

" How are you?", Ash asked me

"I'm fine." I replied

"What is the finding of the doctor?"

"It was just an over fatigue. I just need to take a rest." I lied.

"I told you to take a rest but you don't listen to me Fiona Meana." He said in annoyance.

"Sorry, father. hahaha," I said trying to lighten up the atmosphere. He glared at me that made me laugh. He is like that when I do reckless things.

"Ash, sorry..." I said and trying to look sad to ease him.

"It will not work to me, Fiona Meana Smith. Not now," he said in my full name. He was really mad. I pout. I lay on the hospital bed and cover my face on the blanket.

I heard him sigh and that is a sign of defeat. I laughed silently. It worked.

"Okay fine.But next time. Take care of yourself, Fiona. You are not a cat who has 9 lives." he said. I removed the blanket from my face and smile widely at him.

"Yes. I promise." I said and raised my pinky fingers.

"Don't promise. Do it," he said.

"Okay," I said and smile again.

"Anyway, you'll be discharged later. I already pay the bill," he said.

"Thank you, Ash. "I said.
