Chapter 6

Maru's POV 

"You should eat." Someone's voice is commanding me but I don't have any energy to do anything for this day. 

It's been a week since I got home from the hospital, I don't know but I feel okay despite the condition they were saying about my health. 

"Maru, please?" I looked in my sister's direction, her eyes were swollen again. I took a deep breath before walking towards her and get the food that she was handing. 

I know that I'm the reason why she is always crying but I can't help feeling this way. All of the diagnosis and tests that they performed to me were all accurate, more thinking that it was true that my days are counted and I'll die sooner or later. 

A small amount of laughter suddenly came out from mine, the world is too cruel for me huh? 

None of my dreams have already been reached and one of them was to truly fall in love. 

I slowly looked back at my sister, I saw her again directly looking at me with those sad eyes of her. I just gave her a small smile before going back to my room. I don't really know what to do with my life knowing that I can't do anymore like I was doing before. 

My hands are slowly moving to reach the spoon and taste this food that my sister made, I can't let her down so I can't do anything but to taste this one. 

As I chew every spoonful that I made, some little tears slowly fall from my eyes and a small smile forms on my face. 

"It still tastes bad." I whispered but continued to eat. A while later a knock from my door started to make noise, so I immediately stood up to reach it. 

A wide smile from a familiar person greets my eyes, "How are you?" He asked right away after I opened the door of my room that he was knocking. 

"I'm not fine." I answered and gave him a way to access my room. 

From the day that I woke up and went back home, he always visits me even though he's on duty. Dr. Renz Kiyo, my personal doctor and also the fiance of my sister, is always assisting me from then on. 

He is still wearing his professional white coat along with his white long sleeve polo and a gray necktie below a dark shade vest and gray slacks for his bottom. His hair is fixed upwards, you can clearly tell that he was stressed for the long duty he's been with but his aura and charisma are still the same as when I first meet him. 

I lean my head as I closed my eyes before thinking about everything that I won't be able to do because of this shit that makes me feel nothing but a turtle without a shell. 

"I want to meet that girl." I said from nowhere. I'm still leaning my head when flashbacks start to come up. The girl who pushed me down to the pind for me to wake up. 

"Who?" He asks but I still keep quiet as I said earlier I don't have any energy to do something right now or even talk about various things. 

I just want to sleep then sleep and sleep again until I reach my limit but these guys won't allow me to do that. 

"I already prepared your medicine, make sure to take it." Renz said as I slowly opened my eyes and lamely looked at him. 

He was standing near my night table preparing and giving all the prescription and medicine that I have to take. It's more than 4 medicines that I need to take at once. 

"Why do I need to take that, if I'll just die?" I asked emotionless, he smiled in my direction but I can't reply to the kind of smiling he's giving. 

"You'll need to take this cause I know you can still be treated-"

"You're lying." I cut him off as I stood up and got the book that I was reading these past few days. I opened the book and went through some pages that I marked earlier. 

"Not all people using white lies can make other people feels great, something the truth is the most valuable words that we can hear even though it hurts." I loudly read one phrase from the book. 

"I know you understand that." I added as I looked back at him but he was still smiling with his comfortable look. 

"I'm not lying Maru, I know you can be treated but you need to follow my instruction for that you need to help yourself for me to do that favor for you." He responded. 

Believe it or not, a little bit of hope crossed my mind but suddenly disappear knowing that I know that I'm in my last stage. The hope that I feel earlier is now fade as I looked at my self reflection in front of my stainless center counter of my clock. 

"Thank you for the comfort but I think for now my sister is more likely to need comfort, and please I want you to know if that day comes I want you to stay besides my sister." I nagged as I closed my eyes and sat back at my swivel chair. 

I can't only think for myself, I'm not ready to die but I'll accept anything that could happen and I need to prepare for that day. I don't want my sister to feel lonely because I'm gone, I want her to be happy knowing that I'm always here for her no matter what happens. 

My door shuts as I open my eyes knowing that Dr. Kiyo already leaves my room. I take my medicines even though I don't want to and immediately fall asleep. 

Deene's POV

I woke up feeling heavy, I took a nap to rest but my body feels so tired. I'm holding the attention of my butterfly stuffed toy as I walk down our mansion's hallway. 

My eyes are still blurry and I know that I still feel so sleepy but I want choco milk so I decided to get up and grab it for myself. As I walked down the hallway, I smiled at every person that I passed into even though I'm still half asleep. 

I'm wearing my pink satin night dress with a long sleeve coat to cover my top. I always dress like this if I'm sleeping cause it's cute and It's pink so I love it. 

I already reached our kitchen when I saw mommy reaching something from the fridge. I immediately runs through her direction and hug her from the back while holding my butterfly stuff toy. 

"Mommy..." 

As soon as I reached her back, I hugged her really tight. I dump my face against her back while still hugging her. 

"Did you get a good sleep baby?" She asked so I looked at her, she was smiling with her gorgeous smile. 

I nodded as I answered her. I backed up a little for her to koves I saw her holding some fruits so I tilt my head making me confused about what she's about to make. 

"You'll give me that?" I ask innocently, she gives me a small smile before giving me a kiss on my forehead. 

"Of Course honey ." She said as she walks towards the kitchen counter and reached for the knife. 

I just wait for her as I lean my chin on the counter. I still feel tired I think some monsters took my energy that's why I feel this way even though I rest. 

I looked at our ceiling when I saw some images as I remember the guy that I pushed on my dream. I don't know why he's crying that moment while looking at me so I pushed him. 

I hope he's okay. I didn't really mean to push him, it's just my hand who moves for it hehe. 

"Maru.." I whispered while looking at my butterfly stuffed toy. 

"Maru? Who's Maru baby?" Mommy asked, I smiled at her. "He's the guy I met in my dream." I answered. I saw her walking in my direction while holding the fruits that she made. 

I love when mommy's making some fruit because it is shaped like a butterfly and I really love butterflies. I get the watermelon as I chew in one. 

"Slow down, no one will take those." She nagged, I got another one before swallowing the whole. 

"Mommy, I like Maru." I said. 

"Maru? Why?" She looks confused as I chat those words. 

I don't know if he's real but I like him, I kike how he looked at me from ny dream and I don't know why maybe he's a prince from my favorite story that visit me on my dream. 

"Cause he's nice." I answered and ran back upstairs and locked my door. This feeling of mine is unfamiliar. I feel that my butterflies are inside my stomach!
