Van Pov
I saw my love, standing at the corner of the house. I walk to her and hug her

"Why so clingy?" She said, and that voice was music to my ears. I smiled

"I love you" I said.

I look into her eyes, those eyes that shines on its own, those pretty little eyes that witnessed our love that we built for many years.

"You're so sweet" she said and touch my nose.

"I'm so lucky to have you" she smiled

"I'm so lucky to find you, Alice. And I promise that I won't ever leave your side" I said as I put forehead to hers..

..

The promise, that I won't ever fulfill.


The promise, that will never happen, even if the days pass by


Why?


Its not like I don't want it to happen


Its not like I don't plan to make it happen


..

I am here at the hospital, lying on my deathbed. I got into accident, my injuries were severe, and I can hear the doctors say "He won't make it"

I can feel my body slowly losing all my strength, my eyes are going heavy, my breathing were becoming weak. I tried to open my eyes and wander at the surroundings.

I can feel a touch on my hand, there she is, my wife. The one who I will leave alone. She was looking at me, she's crying, I don't want to see her cry. I tried to reach her face and touch her, I want to wipe her tears, but my body won't let me. All I can do is just watch her, crying over me. I tried to collect all of the strength that's left in me, I open my mouth.

"I...I'm sorry...I..can't fulfill....my promise" I said, then she touch my face..

"Don't think about it." she said, and her tears were flowing down her face..

"I love you, Van. And I will always love you" she said and put our foreheads together..I closed my eyes..I smiled

I don't want to leave, but...there's nothing that I can do to stop this...I'm losing all my strength. I can feel its near, my death..

"I'm sorry, Alice. I won't get to make it happen. The last promise that I had. I will leave you, I won't be at your side, I'm sorry, my love"
