Chapter 1: Surround

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.

 When did Kai lie? Never. He never lies. Not once in their two years of marriage. Kai is the epitome of a perfect husband. Whatever promises he made, he always keeps. He never lies. Not once except...

 "You said you will never leave me... you said you'll stay with me! Why? Why can't I hold you anymore?!" Sky's surroundings suddenly change to a dim light living room, only a small amount of light from the moon manages to enter through the half-open window. 

 The table that was once full of vibrant color food is now bowls of water and plates of pieces of bread. The house is full of cobwebs and dust, seems as if months have passed since the last time it was thoroughly clean. The image of grief and loss is evident.

 Tears slowly run down his thin face. Slowly until one can hear the light sobs from him. He lowers his head and closes his fist as he pours out his painful feelings into his loud screams.

"Why?! Why did you take him away from me?” he whimpered in pain clutching into his chest, his voice fading as he added, “What wrong have I done for you to punish me this way?" 

Sky screams at the top of his lungs and whispers that even he couldn’t hear asking heaven the reason for his agony. His husband, the one person who devoted his life and love to him is gone.

 "Why… why did you take him? It should be me. It s-should be me who died..." he chokes in between words. Crying as hard as he can.

It has been five years, five painful years of living without Kai. And in those five years, Sky has been living in the illusion of Kai being there by his side. Holding him, caressing him, and making love with him. 

How could he forget such a man? The man who is full of love and integrity. The man who made him feel that the world is the best place to live in. 

A cold hand enveloped Sky’s back while crying, brushing his hair gently, humming a very familiar tune. "Don't cry, baby. I will always be here for you." Kai kisses him softly and continues saying, "Let's finish our meal."

This is how Kai comforted him before, this is how he remembers Kai and everything in his illusion is what he remembers Kai when he was alive. His loving husband.

Sky wipes his tears and smiles brightly, "Mm. The soup is getting cold."

They both dig into the salty soup merrily, laughing and talking about the first time they met.

When did they meet? It was during senior year when they were both chosen to be part of the basketball team. Sky was good at playing basketball while Kai was so-so but his height was fitted to be a basketball player.

Sky as the team captain trained him always before the tournament, they were fighting like cats and dogs the first time they play. "Remember when you told me I'm all height and no skills?" Kai laughs loudly recalling those memories.

"You are! Why did they even let you on the team? Tsk." Sky chuckled responding to the still-laughing man.

"Team captain is so great at teaching; I fell for him." He looks at Sky with a sweet smile on his lips, staring at him with sparkling eyes. 

"You're a slut in college seducing me during training." Sky rebuts.

"Cause my baby was so charming in his red jersey, how can I not seduce such a beauty?" 

Kai speaks every word in a flirty tone while biting his lower lips. Something that Sky is already familiar with. That action means something nasty.

"Oh no! don't dare bite that lip of yours."

Yes. This move, this action, these are the tactics Kai used before. Biting his lower lips, a coquettish man in his twenties. 

Every time they train, Kai will not fail to make a move, to say something cheesy and flirty words to him. Unknowingly, he liked it. He's looking forward to it every day. Looking forward to seeing those beautiful innocent smiles. 

"Baby, you look hot tonight." Kai the coy that he is, speaks in his breath, licking his lower lip.

"No, baby. Not tonight..." Sky half-heartedly objects to Kai's proposal.

Kai slowly stands up and walks to Sky's side, slowly and slowly he walks, his index and middle finger moving along with him at the table. Locking his target to the man in black silky pajamas.

"No. no... wait! Kai don't I still need to wash the dishes." Sky stands up too and tries to get away from the hungry beast that's trying to devour him. He runs to the bedroom wanting to close the door but Kai was already inside waiting for him. 

"I know you wanted me too, baby." Kai gives him a smirk and pounces him on the bed. 

He behaves and stares at the handsome face above him, Sky is in utter disbelief, how can a man such as Kai fall for him? He lifts his hand and fondle Kai's snow-white face and said, "I'm glad I met you."

Kai kisses his lips in his response.

Then, just like that, Kai disappears from his sight again.

Sky curled up in the bed, hands on his stomach while tears flow in his eyes. He weeps bitterly and painfully for the third time today.

He is exhausted already, it's been five years of living like this, living in the memories of Kai. He is aware of his condition; he is aware but is afraid to let go of that one thin thread of this memory. Afraid that if he let go, he will lose Kai forever.

Wiping his tears, he took the phone and the calling card from the table left by his mother on her last visit. 

Kring! Kring!

"Hello?" a soft deep voice answered on the other line.

"I need help. Please help me. Help me forget him!"

Chapter 3: Light
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

Chapter 4: Pipe dream
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

Chapter 5: East wind blows
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

Chapter 6: One step closer
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

Chapter 7: Silent emotion
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

Chapter 8: Heartburn
Like a magnet pulling him back with much force, Kole quickly turned back to look at Sky. His eyes contain anticipation, and his heart was expecting something from those words but... what he saw was a sleeping man.It was only a dream. A dream he badly wanted to know. For now, he could only hope that one day Sky will get better and continue to live his life so he could live his life too.Kole closed the door of the house double checking if it was safely locked before leaving. He was thinking of what to cook for breakfast that will suit Sky's taste and will not trigger his memory of Kai."Kole?" Just when he got out a voice in her fifties called out.Kole froze in place. That voice was too familiar, his heart pounded so fast and his throat moved up and down sending tense feelings to his stomach. This was one of the voices he did not want to remember nor wanted to see."Is that you?" asked the woman.Kole did not dare to look back nor dare to make any sound. He wanted to move but his fee

Chapter 9: Hypermnesia
“Did… did we lose them?” Sky asks the person heavily panting beside him. They have been running for so long.“I don’t know… let’s find somewhere to hide first,” answered the person. His face was blurry and his whole body was drenched with sweat. Both of them ran towards the thick bush to hide their slim figures. It was around six in the evening and they were cornered in a forest away from the city.The two boys were nervous and helpless. They had been running for nearly two hours now. They barely escaped from the black van that took them in front of their school if not for the tactics used by the boys.“Sky, even if you are feverish, we have to leave here alive, okay?” the boy said in a commanding tone with no room to debate. He was determined to save Sky and himself. He still wanted to go home and eat his favorite hot pot and stir-fry bullfrog. They needed to survive and surviving means taking risks. If the worst scenario happened, at least Sky should leave here alive.They were out

Chapter 10: Safe zone
It was around eight in the morning when Kole arrived at Sky's house. Sleeping was not his best friend; he was always forcibly woken up by his mind. "Sky, I brought you breakfast." He had his unabashed smile hanging on his face while waving the wrapped food in his hand. "Doctor, I... I already had my breakfast." Scratching his head lightly, Sky answered him honestly. "Oh?" For the past few days, he noticed that Sky was not fond of eating breakfast, "then, I have an idea. This food should not go to waste." Kole said in high spirits. He can take advantage of this situation to slowly open Sky's closed heart and the food should not go to waste, last night was enough. "Can I come in?" asked Kole cheerily. Kole has been standing outside the whole time. The first time he visited, he let himself in. This time he wanted Sky to invite him in or to allow him to come in. This will help him assimilate if Sky was ready to accept people in his safe zone. Kole caught the uneasiness lurking in Sky'
