After hearing everything, I can't calm down enough to think about miracles or anything, I just know that I need to save his life, but my expression hasn't changed since hearing the story, trying to look calm. to put his mother and Anh Huy in peace.
"Brother Duong, how much time is left?"
Huy looked at me with pitying eyes, hesitantly answered
“At most 2 years”
"Yes, I know."
I got up and went back to my room, it was his room, not mine. Lying on the bed, where his warmth used to be, where he endured the worst pain every night but I didn't know anything, I wondered 'did myself in the time I spent with him? Can you do anything for me?' I held him in pain and cried and cried and fell asleep, in my dream, I saw him about to fall into the abyss, I panicked and ran to pull his hand but didn't. Before long, tears naturally fell down a pillow. Until the evening, when I woke up at 7 o'clock, I slept all day long, woken up by a knock on the door, it was three. He hugged me in his arms: “Daughter, happy birthday to you. Dad came back on time, didn't he? I still have adoptive parents, and my parents are always proud of me, try to be a girl." I guess Dad just got home and heard Mom tell me about today. But I am still very touched, because every year when it comes to my birthday, my adoptive parents and Anh celebrate my birthday with me. This year too, everything is the same as previous years, just missing one person.
Celebrating my birthday with my parents and Mr. Huy, I received gifts from everyone, and my smile was also more, I don't want everyone to lose their joy on their own birthday, so I always try to smile and watch. like nothing happened, of course, everyone got along well with me.
"The letter, the gift box from last night was Duong's, and this is your gift," said Huy and presented a beautiful gift box in front of me.
"Thank you". I smile back
After seeing Mr. Huy off, I quietly walked up to the room and opened my phone to take a look. Reading messages from all my friends, maybe that lifts my mood a little. Reaching for the British gift box, it was a sparkling platinum necklace, the pendant was a smile, in the heart-filled letter with the familiar handwriting "Stupid girl, always smile like that, wear it and remember me, I'm sorry I can't celebrate your birthday with you, but remember, if you're tired, come back, I'm waiting for you. Happy birthday, my little princess." Tears have not known since when at this moment I really miss you, really want to lie in that arms. For me, that's a huge loss.
I clicked on a group video chat with my childhood friends.... well, after picking up the phone, the song "Happy Birthday" sounded, and gradually the typical faces were revealed. We talked happily but the conversation was not very long because everyone had to go to bed to prepare for tomorrow. I suddenly thought of Luc Duong, his family must have arrived now, and decided to give him surgery, he's awake, and that heart is still beating, which means he still has the ability to exist." If I couldn't be by your side to take good care of you during the days when you were sick, then now I will take good care of your future heart, so that I know you still exist in my heart." I couldn't help but immediately ran to the hospital. I went to Anh's room, under the moonlight and night my face longed to appear, He is still the same, even though 2 years have passed, but his handsome face is still there. never reach for it, it's just that now that face is more angular, I sit down next to the bed, reaching out and grabbing his warm hand.
"You've become very sick," I said as I raised his hand and placed it on my pale face
"Can you feel it, it's me, An Thu here, you'll be surprised why I'm here, right? You're so stupid, why hide from me, why don't you let me be by your side through these days, but I won't blame you, I know you're worried about me, I'm always a fool It's silly, without you it wouldn't be possible. Today is my birthday, I already received your gift, the gift is very beautiful, I like it very much, I cry again when I see your gift. Believe me, I won't let you fall off the cliff like in my dreams, just wait for me, baby."
After that, I adjusted the blanket for Anh, then walked out of the hospital room. It was late at night, but the hospital's lights were always on. I quietly walked down the corridor, found his room, sneaked into the hospital room, and saw no one staying to take care of him, I sat down sadly beside the bed, looked at him, and then looked at where his heart was beating. Involuntarily raising my ear to gently press his heart, I felt each heartbeat in my chest, tears suddenly flowed out, and the corners of my eyes were stinging again because I felt the familiarity of this heartbeat, which used to be very familiar. as if I had heard it somewhere many times before.
“What are you doing” I jumped up when I heard that voice
"You, are you awake?"
"I asked you what are you doing," he said as he reached up and grabbed my arm that was still resting lightly on his chest, his eyes flickering with vagueness. I quickly pulled my hand back, and finally saw that my embarrassed face was turning red
"I, I don't do anything"
"Why did you come here, how did you know I was here?" It was almost as if he had just woken up from a coma that made his memory disappear. Going to ask a question without knowing any gratitude to the benefactor who just saved me.
"It was I who brought you here, but why can't I see your family, and the beautiful Thien Kim, you've been in a coma for so long, no one is looking for you?" I looked around suspiciously, not really seeing a trace of anyone but me.
"I don't need anyone to come, you go home." It turned out that he didn't inform his family, so who took care of him all day today, maybe he was like that. My heart suddenly throbbed, a little painful.
"I'll take care of you from now on, just tell me what you need, and I'll help you"
"Please go back." He looked at me with dark, dark eyes, his voice was deliberately louder, pretending to be "the owner chasing the guests".
"No matter what you say, I won't go back, I'm the one who brought you here, it's my responsibility to take you out, don't say more, don't think you can send me back." I shrugged, didn't even look at him, and walked over to the sofa in the middle of the room.
He didn't answer, he just lay with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep
"Today is my birthday, can you wish me a happy birthday?" I said subconsciously just hoping he could accommodate this little request. But there was still silence, and then I fell asleep on the small sofa. That night I had a dream. I met him, and he said "happy birthday, my little angel". I ran to hug him "I will definitely get that heart for you, wait for me"
Waking up early in the morning, seeing him still asleep, I ran to buy food, some fruit, and a bunch of flowers. After preparing breakfast and fruit for Luc Duong, I silently carried the flower bouquet to Anh's room, carefully arranged each flowering branch, so beautiful, and opened the curtains to let the sunlight in, looking like he was just sleeping. He's still the same, handsome, familiar face, all very familiar
"Wait for me, I will definitely beg him to donate his heart to save your life."
