Nial's Point of View
"You fulfilled my request Cams, thank you."
"Didn't ... I-I told you, Master. I'm your genie," she answered me in a weak voice.
I can't explain how happy I am. Thank you Camerron, thank you.

She was not allowed to leave the hospital again due to her condition. They also installed a machine to help his heart function. It hurts me to see her repeatedly struggling every time she is having an attack and having trouble breathing but I can't do anything for her.
I always go to her every time I go home from school to take care for her when her mom is not around and also Claire.
She even dropped out of school. It hurts, it hurts to think that they seem to be completely losing hope that she will recover but I am not.
I will never stop praying for her recovery.
Sometimes my mom also went to the hospital to visit and it's a good thing that Camerron was happy while they talked. I feel like they are closer now.
Even though it hurts I have to stand firm in front of her. Every day, hour by hour and minute by minute I make her feel how much I love her. I wasted no opportunity. I don't want to be scared anymore, even if she says it's impossible for me to continue. She deserved to be love.
"M-master what's your last wish?"
I just laughed at her awkwardly even though she had a hard time speaking. She smiles at me, I will never get tired of that smile. The smile seems to have no problem. Everything seems to be fine.
"I don't want to wish?"
Even though she already asked me this question many times, she still didn't get tired of asking me every day, I've been giving her the same answer over and over again but she's too stubborn to stop.
"I don't want to wish, because I won't be your master after that"
"Aish, just give your last wish master."
I smile at her and hold her hand tightly. They are right, God always has a plan for everything. But there's only one thing I want now, that's to hold her hand forever.
I only have one wish, but how, what if I also don't want to consume it because I also don't want to lose her.
"Master?" she asked me in a low voice.
"Oh?"
"Do you believe in dreams?"
I’d like to say yes because she’s one of the proof of that. But how can I tell her that I have been seeing her in my dreams for a long time.
"Why do you ask?" I replied smiling.
"Because I do believe on it, just like you. You look ... you look like a dream that suddenly came true." I smiled at what she said.
You too, Camerron. You are a dream that has become reality.
"Master?"
"Oh? You know what, you're talking too much. That's bad for your condition."
She still kept smiling at me. Damn that smile.
"Can I also wish? At least one."
"Okay, even if I'm the master, I'll still give you a wish," I joked.
Even if it's 100 more wishes, I'll just give it to the woman I love.

"Dude, what's the update?" I asked Dave.
He is one of my bandmates and a friend of mine as well.
I have already arranged my belongings after our last teacher left. I had to hurry because I wanted to go to the hospital to see and be with Camerron.
"Oh about that dude, actually yes. I'm about to tell you that I've found what you're looking for and you can go anytime." He was wearing his bag while telling me that.
"Thank you dude, it's such a great help."
"That's what friends are for." He said while smiling.
"Don't worry next time I'll just pay you back." I wear my bag. I'm ready to leave. I'm really excited.
"You know dude I see how much you really love her. You will do everything for her." He smiled at me.
I smiled at him too and tapped his shoulder. Before I finally left, he handed me a piece of paper with the address of the place I was looking for written on it.
I ride a taxi to get to the hospital right away but I got annoyed because the traffic had already caught up with me. I miss my genie already. I wonder what she's doing now, maybe she's sleeping again. Even though I can't admit it to myself, my two eyes can see that her condition continues to worsen. Every day it gets worse.
"Master?"
I almost run to Camerron, who was sitting on her bed, she up to me when I opened the door of her room. She's smiling so sweet as ever.
"Cams why aren't you lying down, you should be resting now," I told her immediately.
"Master! I've always been lying down why can't I stand up?"
She spoke as if her energy had returned. She also looks bright now. She just smirked at me while flexing her invisible musle.
"I feel really well, master, I have a feeling that I'll get better."
"Cams ..." I hug her.
Damn, I really want this, her strength is back. How I wish she was healed.
"Do you really miss me that much?"
She lightly laugh while I'm hugging her even tighter. Yes, I really miss you so much.
"Wait, has your doctor come here yet? What did he say?" I asked her while still hugging her thin body.
"Yes master, actually I also asked him if I could go out now to breathe some fresh air and he allowed me." The excitement was obvious in her voice. I knew she wanted to get out of here.
"Are you sure you can?" I let go of her hug and give her a worried look.
But maybe it's just right to tell her my good news.
"By the way, I have good news for you."
"What's it master?"
She looks so excited, I hope she's always like this. The ones that just seem normal, the ones that don't hurt and have difficulty.
"I'm going to grant your wish today."
-
"Master where are we?"
I stopped the car and got out to open it. I helped her down until we were about to walk into the area. She no longer uses a wheelchair because she says she can walk and it will be even harder for her if we take it all the way here.
"You'll see Cams." I'm trying not to spoil the moment. I get excited as well.
We were just a few steps away when we were greeted by a very large gate with "Garden of Destiny" written on it. I opened the gate and the two of us entered.
"Wow!"
There was a look of amazement on her face, even me, when we could finally get inside.
This is the only request she made to me. She asked me to take her to the garden of roses. This is also the thing that I asked my friend to find. Fortunately, he found it right away.
But I didn't know that I would be stunned by what I can see. A familiar place, I know this very well because it was one of my dreams to be with Camerron.
I don’t know why all the places in my dream match and what’s happening right now. First the big tree and now this.
"M-master."
I looked at her. Her tears started dripping so I immediately wiped them away.
"Why are you crying? Didn't I tell you that I will fulfill your request." I said while still wiping away her tears.
"But this place ...."
She looked around. She was crying but I could see in her eyes the great joy.
There are a variety of roses here. It is even more beautiful because of the butterflies flying around it. They also come in different colors. The long road we were walking also had a row of roses that were very brightly colored. And since this garden of roses is also very fragrant all around,
I saw the carpet I was setting up for our picnic so I supported her again to go there. He could barely speak in amazement around so I just let her go. I really like seeing her happy.
"Did you like it?"
She looked sick and suddenly his tears fell again.
"Hey, you might have a hard time breathing again because you're crying." I held her back and helped her sit on the carpet. Even with the padding, the grass on the floor still feels soft and super comfortable to seat. I also sat down next to her when I made sure she was comfortable.
"I'm just happy master, this place is very familiar to me. T-this is where I first saw you," she took a deep breath before speaking again.
"I wanted to tell you this since I bumped into you on the stairs. I've known you for a long time, it's been a long time. Because I've been dreaming of you ever since. The one in the dark room, here in the garden, in the tree, in the church , in the park and soon on the dark road. "
I think I was affected by her crying because my tears were already dripping. It means I am in her dream too, it means we have been together for a long time.
"Every 6 months?"
She nodded at my question which means yes.
"I also do, Cammeron, I also dream of you all this time." I tried not to break my voice because of crying.
We are both shocked, shocked at things we thought were impossible. We are destined to dream of each other as well as our meeting in real life.
"I love you Cammeron, my genie who is very naughty, my genie who is very cute when sulking and angry. I love you, I love you so much" I told her in the middle of my tears. Now nothing can stop me from loving you even when you are sick.
"I love you too Nial"
As soon as I heard her say that, I closed my eyes and slowly moved my face closer to her face until our lips met.
I kissed her.
A kiss that is not in a dream and a kiss that I will never forget.
We stay there while I'm hugging her from her back. We enjoy every minute we are together. I hope time stops, I hope it doesn't end. Hopefully, but it won’t happen. After that, we have to face the truth again.
We decided to return to the hospital before sunset. I need to take her back to the hospital for her to take medicine. I helped her stand up again because she seemed to be weakening again.
We were right at the gate when she suddenly stopped walking.
"Master what's your last wish?" she asked smiling.
"Cams, don't you know what I'm going to answer?"
"Please master" "
"I just want you to get well. Can you do that for me?" I looked her in the eyes while I still held her hands and supported her.
"Another wish, master." We were both shocked when suddenly butterflies approached us and surrounded us.
The feeling around me changed, the feeling that I was in a dream again while Camerron was looking into my eyes.
"Master, if I lose what you want to ask me. Your last wish, master."
"Don't say that, you won't leave me" I touched her cheek and forced a smile.
"Please master ... my day will be complete when I hear what your wish is." Seriously, she's so skinny.
I stared at her for a long time. I don't want to think that I will lose her but I also want her to be happy.
"If you leave me ... all I want is to see you again. I hope to see you and be with you again, hold you, hug you. Even in a dream."
It hurts, it hurts so much to think of everything. She just gave me a sweet smile. She is really beautiful.
"W-wish noted, master!" She even saluted me.
Her tears flowed again but she was still smiling. The smile tells me that everything will be ok too. Hopefully Camerron.
"But you won't leave me, will you?" I asked softly as I wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"I won't leave you master, I'm just always here by your side. You're always with me." She also held my hand that was holding her cheek.
I don't want to take my gaze away from her anymore. A white butterfly landed on her shoulder. Very beautiful.
"Master, can I ask again?"
I smiled at her.
"Sure, at least a few more."
Suddenly her breathing deepened. I was confused because she might be attacked here, the hospital was too far away and something bad might happen to her.
"Cams are you ok? Let's go back to the hospital!"
She told me she didn't want to before she spoke again.
"Take care of mommy… f-for me please?" her voice also suddenly weakened.
"Cams ..."
"M-master ... I hope ... I hope when you see the woman who is really for you ... I hope I'm still there. I hope ... I still have a part in your heart…"
I still couldn't answer when the butterfly that landed on her shoulder suddenly flew away as Camerron fell into my arms and lost consciousness.
MY LAST WISH: I hope ... I hope to see her again.
