"I need you to slowly stay in position. Now I'm gonna unfold... Adjust your head to upright..."
The warm voice guided her and her heart beat with anticipation. Is it gonna work? Will it really be a new start?
Will it be as expected? Will it....
Thousand of thoughts ran through her mind. Waves of mixed feelings engulfed her, almost throwing her off the center.
The clock ticks monotonously while her heart, beat with a hasten rhythm, like a pop music, like it's gonna overwhelm the clock.
Like it was her first time in love.
She sat so calmy excited, her hands holding on the the bed sheet and her breath steady increasing.
She felt it becoming lighter and lighter, something is starting to take flight, something is striking something approaching...
The cloth got lighter and lighter, she felt more and more excited.
A wave of disappointment swept past her, what if.... If wasn't what she expected... What's if the moon is not what she thought it was.. What if.
It is gonna fail again.
"Ma'am, I want you to slowly, just very slowly move your eyeballs while your eyes are closed and feel the moisture within," the voice guided, so warm so familiar.
She remembered how she imagined. She imagined how she remembered.
A sharp pointy nose.. A bushy eyebrow... A thin but smooth lips... A...
" slowly lift your eyelid a little... "
Her thoughts were interrupted a little and she lift her eyelid according to the voice, a stream of bright light almost blind her, sending an unbearable tingle to the back of her eyes and into her brain.
"ouchhh doctor," she exclaimed.
"easy my dear, slowly, feel the warmth of the light, feel the pain of the light," the doctor explained.
She remembered how he used to hold her hand and gently caress them.
She remember how he used to whisper into her ear, telling her not to bother about others opinion.
She remebered how, she tried to find his features, how she try to get closer how she try...
She remebered how it used to be... This painful
How it used to be so reluctant and so helpless...
"Get used to the light, that's how the world should be, that's what make it beautiful," he guided.
The bright light seem to dim down, slowly adjusting to her sight.
Her eyelids are half opened and a burning sensation raved through her eyeball.
She remembered the tune he used to play on piano, telling her it's last Christmas and it will be the first.
She remebered the cold of the snow when he placed it in her hand, trickling down her hand as it melt due to her temperature.
She remebered whenever, she need, he will be there.
She remebered the stream of brightness, the hustle... She remembered.
She remembered courage she took.
The courage she took to run through and land into his warm hug.
No one gonna say anything anymore.
No one may love like them anymore.
She flung open her eyelid and a stream of light gushed into her pupil.
It was like fire, burning her eyes.
It was passion burning her heart.
Slowly it dimmed and adjusted.
Unbelievable. Beautiful. Amazing....
She start to connect, feel and she know...
The sharp pointed nose, the smooth lips....
"Can you see me now?" He smiled as he look at her pupil starting to tighten.
She remebered the voice, she remembered.
"hey... Omg" she uttered.
"you are just as ugly as I thought," she answered.
"how can you say that to your most handsome eye surgeon.." he sighed a little.
Embarce was what it follows, tears were what was left.
"I guess it worked after 20 years," he said with relief.
She remebered, the day he held her hand and said he will never let go.
She remebered. She love him so much.
"I miss you, dummy," she uttered.
"miss your face and your hair"
The aircon continue to rage while the sun continue to blaze.
Nothing is gonna stop 20 years of love between the blind girl and her sweetheart, not sight, not anymore.
She can see him now. She will love him even more through her perfect eyes.
