Time pass by quickly and it was already their ten years wedding anniversary. Kole had been thinking of a better anniversary gift this time, something that could topple the other gifts that he had given his husband. He spent the entire month thinking about it but none crossed his mind. He was roaming around the mall, entering all stores until he bumped into a familiar face, "Kai?!" his twin brother. "Oh. What are you doing here?" said Kai without much surprise. "Looking for a gift," he replied. Kole was already comfortable mentioning Sky whenever he was with Kai. His brother had stopped his therapy session with him five years ago when the General miraculously accepts his pursuit. From then on, Kai was well behaved than ever. "What a coincidence, me too. It's my honey's birthday next week," In truth, Kai also spent a lot of time thinking of what gift to give. At the same time, he was planning to propose to his General on his birthday. "Why not buy a ring if you want to propose?
Life is full of unexpected happenings, it could either break you or make you. How to respond to it actually depends on how strong a person's mental capacity is and how strong... one heart is. "Baby, come let's eat. I made your favorite chicken soup. Eat it while it's hot." Sky calls out to Kai like he is calling a child to eat, so patient and so loving. "Wow! my baby is the best. Let me try this soup." Kai excitedly sits at the table and tastes the chicken soup that Sky made. The soup can be compared to the taste of the sea where one doesn't need to make an effort to float. Yes! it's too salty. "Is it good?" Sky asks with eyes wide open in anticipation. "Everything that you made is great. I love this soup; you should make more baby." Kai grins replying to him. "You spoil me too much; I know it's not good. Liar!" Sky pouts his lips and rolls his eyes while objecting to Kai's appreciation. He knows how sweet-tongue his husband is. "Baby, when did I ever lied to you?" Kai asks
The world around him is spinning and spinning and spinning. His head gets dizzy with all the crying. So thin because of dehydration and lack of food.Sky can be considered as skin and bones now; his appearance is too far from his fresh and healthy self from five years ago.That day when Kai died was the day he also died. He is now a living dead waiting for heaven to take away his life. He's been praying for death to come to him so he will be with Kai in the afterlife but..."Baby, ke- keep living. Fi- find some-someone to lo- love you o- okay?"How can he kill himself when Kai's last word is for him to live and find someone to love? He can only wait for Grim Reaper to appear to fulfill Kai's wishes.Someone to love? Will he ever love someone else when all his heart belongs to Kai? When his world is all about Kai? When his heart died along with Kai's."Come live with me son, please?" his mother speaks in a gentle pleading tone.After a year of Kai's death, Sky did not leave their house
This is the first time Sky sleeps well. Something in that Doctor's voice calms his wounded heart. It feels so familiar yet strange. It must be because he is a doctor and used a soothing deep voice when talking to him.He sleeps until seven in the morning, only waking up when a small amount of sunlight shines straight into his eyes. Opening his eyes, a brightly smiling Kai appeared in front of him. Lying sideways, supporting his head with his right hand."Why don't you sleep more?" Kai asks.Sky smiled drowsily and let out a small groan, "Someone is coming baby. Can you prepare some food?"This kind of talk had been made between them in the very same bed before. When he informed Kai of his mother’s visiting them."Who's coming baby, is it Mama?" curiosity is written all over his face."No, baby. It's Dr. Kole." Sky answered in a languid voice."Baby, ca-" Kai did not finish his line when his illusion vanished in the air.Knock! Knock!Hearing the knock, Sky gets up from the bed, slight
As a Psychologist, Kole is well-versed in the actions and reactions of his patients. He is well accustomed to the ways of dealing with an emotionally broken-hearted person.Psychologists and psychiatrists are two different things. The psychiatrist provides medication but the psychologist provides psychotherapy or talk therapy. A sounding board for the people who experience the lowest point in their life.With Sky, the first thing that comes to mind is that this person badly needs someone to pester him and listen to him. At least someone who is sincerely willing to listen and not someone who will thwack him of how pathetic he is. The first step for Sky is to slowly open his heart and accept proper consultation.Seeing the wedding photo, the gloomy and soiled house, and the thin and dejected appearance of Sky, it's enough for him to conclude that Sky's husband left the mortal world.Testing the water, he uttered the forbidden question, "Sky, how did he die?"Sky, who is pouring the hot
Kole went directly to his office, upon arriving he was greeted by his lady assistant estimated to be in her late twenties. There was only three staff in his office, he likes to keep his circle small especially since all of the patient's cases were confidential. "Hey! you're twenty minutes late today. That's rare." his lady assistant commented. Kole never did once come late to the office. It was his golden rule A TRUE AND COMPASSIONATE PERSON WAKES UP EARLY WITH THE WILL TO ALLEVIATE PEOPLE'S SUFFERING. He smiled at his assistant and responded jokingly, "Spare this old man a time to date." "Date? who is the lucky one?" Yara asks with bulging eyes, she looked at Kole with so many questions in her head. Since when did Dr. Kole have an interest to date? The doctor who was devoting his life to healing people, who do not have any interest in blind dates and night out's, friends that can be counted on fingers was saying that he's been on a date? What sorcery was this? She must know the
Upon living the office, he went straight to his favorite restaurant to order easily digestible food. Sky had been eating bread for so long and giving him hard-to-digest food will only upset his stomach. It took him thirty minutes to get his takeout. Kole was a regular so calling in advance for his order was just one of his many perks. After receiving his order, he went back to his car which was parked outside the restaurant. Starting the engine, he merrily and quickly drives to get to Sky's house. It was a twenty-minute ride from the restaurant. There were few cars on the road at nighttime, they were in a rural area so houses and establishments were usually near each other. With both hands full of food bags, he marches towards Sky's door. Knock! Knock! Two knocks, no answer. "Sky?" Still no answer. "Sky? Are you awake?" worry starts to creep into his heart. "Sky!" Was he not at home? Impossible. He was afraid to leave the house surely, he was inside. Did he faint? No! He wasn
He wanted to follow Kai's wishes, he wanted to try living by getting help but how? Every time he sees Kole, he reminded him of Kai, that perfect visage."Doctor, tell me... can you cure me?" Sky's tears streamed down his face blurring the image of the man in front of him.He clasped Kole's hand with both his cold and bone-skin hands. He held on to it tightly and gradually brought it to his now drenched cheeks, caressing his face as if the person in front of him was his lover."Tell me that you can cure me, I'm in too much pain. I lived in an illusion of my husband, I can see and talk to him as if he is here. As if my husband... as if my husband is beside me." He continued telling everything to Kole. Everything that he closely kept in his heart for the past long years.Kole watched him with so much care, this man, who had a beautiful heart and soul was grieving over a deceased beloved. How many people can love this much? How many Sky was there in the world? How many were those who stop
