WITH YOU

He remembers the days where they always don’t forget to go, their favorite place. Where, all their problems are temporarily gone.

Only laughter, only storytelling prevails. And not the sadness and misfortune of our lives.

Especially on the day of his birthday ..

"Happy birthday!"

"Aww! Did you really prepare for this today? Thanks."

"Blow your candles!"

He happily blew out the candle placed on a small cake. Which, enough of the two of them.

"Thanks for the food!"

.. The day they were both blamed for a sin they did not commit, so they decided not to go home.

"I wonder, maybe we're just adopted."

"I would rather choose that, at least a valid reason to oppress. But no, it is written in the law, we are their legal children."

"I have camping tools with me."

"I have some food with me."

"Let's forget the problem all night."

..And the next day after they couldn't think of going home and their families which was the reason for them to be completely removed from their lives ..

"Should I start to work?"

"Let's have rotation.You work in the morning, I work  in the evening."

"Small apartment."

"Once a week, groceries."

"Once a week same date day off .."

"To give time for ourselves."

He laughed when he remembered that. It was as if they were happier when they were evicted from their own homes, and would live on their own where there were no barriers.

"Ahm, Myle .."

"Hmm?"

"What are we?" Luna asked her as she sat in his arms.

"We? What do you think?"

Luna lifted the blanket covering her naked body and looked at Myle again.

"I'm not really sure .."

Myle chuckled. "Silly, of course we're more than friends. I say, lovers?"

"But .. lovers love each other in a romantic way."

"Don't you love me?"

Luna was off on guard. Avoiding Myle's question, it turned away from him. She felt his hug from behind.

"Because I love you."

"And I'll do everything to make you love me too."

Peace and contentment became their life as lovers. Working together to save, to build their dream home.

But in the days that followed, months, something seemed to be wrong.

"We should check you up. This is a serious matter."

"We don't have a down payment. I'm fine, it's just a simple fever."

"I don't care about the expenses. Come on. I carry you out. I already called a taxi."

Luna didn't struggle and Myle just let her lift her. And as he did so, Luna fainted.

Her body collapsed when she heard what the doctor said about Luna's condition.

"She has Crohn's Disease."

"What is that doc?"

"Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the bowel, usually diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 - 30. And based on the information you shared, she is very healthy but this disease was genetic, meaning it has all the genes. Her family may have some previous history condition. "

"Is there a way to be treated?"

"Ofcourse."

"But it's a bit expensive."

WHEN the doctor came out, he was immediately depressed but took out his wallet to count the remaining money.

He was about to call the bank where they kept the money set aside for their dream house when Luna spoke.

"Life is unfair, but we must accept fate."

"How can you say that in front of me?"

"I'm just being honest."

And she turned to lie down avoiding his gaze.  He just sighed, let it go and stood up.

"I'll go pay the bill. Want some snacks?"

"Hard food please."

"Alright."

Days passed, and more days passed. Luna's body collapsed. The bottom of its eyes are already deep, because of the difficulty of sleeping. Its skin is pale due to anemia which is a symptom of the disease.

"Myle .."

"Please don't say anything .."

"My body .. I can feel they're giving up .."

"Please don't say anything .."

"Myle please .."

"Just more days please. I can complete your operation fees. Just fight babe . Just fight please."

"What if .. not be successful? What if mamat-"

"What will happen to me when you're gone?"

"Myle .."

"How can we fulfill our dreams without you? How can we show our parents that we can be successful without their help? How can we have a family ... without you?"

"How is our dream house without you? We dreamed of it together, it doesn't matter if our dream comes true without you. How do we plan to have a family, two kids right? And we hope it was a girl and boy. The girl will be soft hearted and kind but feisty like you, and the boy will be the version of me who is always protecting and making you laugh. "

"I want to fight too .."

He holds Luna's hands. "This isn't just your fight. This is our fight. We'll strengthen our fate, not for ourselves, for our dreams, for our hearts."

"I love you .."

"I love you more."

"ALTHOUGH the payment for her operation is settled, we can't just run into operation. We must check her health, it is risky to attempt an operation if her body is weak. "

"What? We can't wait .."

"Maybe two days, when his body is okay, when his body is ready for surgery."

He took a deep breath and removed the bad vibes from the body before he entered the bedroom and waved at the smiling girlfriend watching.

"Why are you laughing huh?"

"See how you wake up."

It showed the phone where the video was playing that he was sleeping and would suddenly wake up and fall on the bed because he was lying at the side of the bed.

"Why have a video?" He shyly returned the phone to it.

"Memories? You're blushing, are you shy?"

"Cut it out babe."

But she just laughed and watched his video again. He  just watched his woman comforting herself in his video, his woman is resisting and fighting  as they promised each other. So he wonders why his girlfriend can't have surgery right away.

"Look, it's you when snoring." He winced.

"You really like filming at my worst."

"Maybe you're eating in you  dream babe, coz. You're choking here." And it laughed again.

So he decided.

"Babe just wait here for a moment."

"Where are you going?"

"Doctor's office."

"Aren't you just good don?"

"Hmm. They said you're not allowed to have surgery because your body is weak."

"My body is in good condition. It's their mistake they don't always monitor me . Go on, talk to them."

He comes out of the room smiling, he's happy how his woman really works hard for both of them. And he can see that this will work like they pray.

"Yes, I'm sorry for our mistaken, her body is perfectly fine for the operation. "And with that statement, his whole being suddenly shook.

Trembling, afraid of what will happen surgery.

"Dont be such a chicken. Come on. I want cake for my successful operation."

"Yes! Cake! Got it babe."

And she laughed at him and took his palm. "It's gonna be okay, just like what you said. Let's be strengthen our fate."

"Fate..yes our fate. I love you babe."

"And I love you too. Wait for me here .."

And the last word we're unheard.

He sat down on the bench outside the operation room and waited for his girlfriend. Hoping and praying that everything will be alright. Until the lights we're off.

"Pull out the generator! Who's in the underground floor! Come on can't you contact them!"

His heart we're pounding. "Doc?" He can see some lights coming from its phone.

"Hey it's okay, the operation will continue when the generator turns on."

"Oh o-okay."

"Turn it on!"

"Doc! The patient's having a cardiac arrest!"

"What? Turn on the generator now!"

"Doc the patient's Crohn's has been removed!"

He moved to see the open door of the operation room to see what was happening inside but the doctor entered the room and forcely closed the door to prevent him from seeing the operation.

Then the lights turn on, he guess the generator was on. And the door of the operating room opened again, and the doctor came out. 

From the looks of it. "We're sorry, we had removed the Crohn's, but the machine used to keep her heart beating. The open wounds we're already close to avoid the bloodlost. This is the hospital's mistake, we'll pay for the treatment. cremate her body. "

"What .."

"We're sorry for your lost."

HE looks up to see the sun we're already hiding behind the moon. As he watched, various memories flowed through his mind.

'I want cake for my successful operation'

'Let's strengthen our fate.'

'I love you more. '

He couldn't stop his tears from falling in the place where they often meet after class. A place where they always meet to forget the problem of their own family.

But why now? He could not forget what had happened the day before. Is it because..isn't that a problem? But bad memories?

Then he remembers the letter from his woman. 

To my lovely snoring man

In case I might die in a unexpectedly way I wanted to give you this letter. 

I want you to grow up and be a success at whatever you attempt to do. The time that I did spend with you was a wonderful and enjoyable time in my life and you helped make it that way. This letter is very hard for me to write because I keep starting to cry, knowing that I will not be here when you are reading this. The sadness keeps overwhelming me and tears are flowing down my face. I'm so very proud of you and you have shown me just how smart you are already. I expect you to grow and be able to use your head to think things out and to be able to ask questions if you don't understand something.

... I want you to face life and the problems that it gives you with a positive outlook, because if you think of the bright things in life, it makes the bad things not so bad after all! You are a beautiful and smart boy and I wish you all the luck and good fortune a person could ever want or need.  please just always remember that I love you more than anything in this whole world, and even if I'm not with you, you are always and forever in my heart and mind.

He bent down and wiped away the tears, before walking in the sunlight on the ground, which in a few minutes would be gone forever. That the light will be gone.

But the only thing not going to lose, was the light given by his girlfriend.

'My Luna, is my brightest sunshine of all.'

He walks stepping out on the sunshine that use to be their favorite creation of god. Walking like nothing has happen. 

And then suddenly someone throw a ball straight to his head. 

"Stupid! Are you just going to leave me here?!"

He runs towards the person who throws the ball at him. "You are the stupid! "

A person who makes fun of her own life, making fun of his own feelings. 

Making the doctor said that she was dead. But actually not. 

"Ahhh!"

"Making the hospital staff say that your dead! Stop running!"

"Noooo! Your gonna tickled me!"

"It's payment for making me cry! "

"Babe stop chasing me!"

"Then stop running!"

"Helppp---"

"Gotcha. " 

"Your a crying man. Crying for nothing. "

He sat properly and so his girlfriend did, sitting between his to legs. So he hug her from behind.

"It is not nothing. When it comes to you, there's no word of nothing."

"Really? How do you say so?"

"How?"

"Hmm. "

"Because you are my everything."
