《Mifeln's Short Story Collection》 A Passing Voice
Voices that no matter how much you don¡¯t want to hear them, you will still be able to hear it because those people are everywhere towards your destination. ¡°Hey, have you heard that new idols that just debut?¡± The usual talks of people that I grew bored of. ¡°Hey. This person post some good stuff.¡± Countless voices can be heard in a train, a normal occurrence. A day that doesn¡¯t have anything different from the usual day that I experience everywhere. Sounds that I always hear and voices that was so dull that I got tired of them after hearing those voices for a long time now. Planning to block out the voices around me, I take out my phone and puts an earphones to my ear. ¡°Hello¡­¡± As if a bell made a tiny sound to my ears that woke me up from a deep slumber, I stopped putting my earphones on my ear. I immediately look towards the sound where I heard the voice. Seeing a guy lowering his phone¡¯s volume and taking out his earphones, I saw a girl wearing a mask in a video however as if unsatisfied in that video. The guy exits the video right away. Hearing a voice that has a different sound for the first time made my curiosity flare up. Approaching the guy, I tap his shoulder. ¡°Uhh¡­ who was the one in that video?¡± Feeling confused for getting questioned out of nowhere. ¡°It¡¯s just a random girl that I saw.¡± After telling me the girl¡¯s name. I thanked the guy and went back to where I was standing. Searching her name through my phone, I found out that she¡¯s not popular. Someone who just started from doing her videos, a person that does whatever she wants in the video entertaining those that watches it. Since that day, every time she goes live in her place, I always joins in. From being the first viewer of her, I was able to listen to her voice that was different from the other people that I always encounter. Even though she mentions me as she goes on with what she¡¯s doing in her stream, I continued to listen. ¡°Heeyyyy, are you a bot or something?¡± Listening to her, I see that she stopped playing her game and focused in the chat even though I¡¯m the only one in there. Thinking what to say because she stopped talking, I decided to reply to her. [I¡¯m not a bot.] Getting surprised from my reply, she became excited and continued talking as if being glad that the only viewer of hers is not a bot. ¡°Heyyyy, c¡¯mon talk some more. It¡¯s boring just playing around and talking in the air while my viewer is not saying anything you know.¡± I feel exhausted just by listening from her now as she continues to talk while urging me to make a reply to her. [Forcing your only viewer to reply to you will make that person wants to leave you know?] ¡°OHHH!!! You replied longer now! And I don¡¯t care! My one and only viewer didn¡¯t leave even when I continued talking right?¡± Getting dumbfounded from what she said, I can¡¯t help but make a small smile. She¡¯s weird, she really is. [I would be grateful if you continue playing now, I¡¯m only here to watch and listen.] ¡°Boo! That¡¯s so boring, c¡¯mon talk more.¡± Feeling something different from talking to her, we kept talking and talking for a long time. As we continued to talk for a long time. Some people started to get interested in her videos and stream. Welcoming them, talking to them, thinking that she won¡¯t bother talking to me anymore now that there¡¯s a lot of people that came to watch her, I just continued to listen. ¡°Heyyy, mr. first bot! Don¡¯t act like I don¡¯t know that you are in the stream right now.¡± Even though I stopped talking sometimes and just want to listen to her, she mentions me from time to time to make me talk. For some reason, I felt something in my chest respond every time she mentions me. [What do you want, bored streamer. Let the old man listen peacefully here.] ¡°Bah! Old man you say, we talked so long so I¡¯m sure my age is not that different from yours!¡± For the first time after a long time, I felt dumbfounded again. Looking at the chat, her viewers are laughing from what she said. Touching my forehead, I never thought that she will stay like this even when she becomes famous. [I¡¯m listening here peacefully, stop mentioning my name.] ¡°Listening listening, bah. You always say that since the time you joined this.¡± Acting as if annoyed, she started complaining about me in the chat. Not knowing what to do, I just continued to watch how some people complains about me as well. The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. About how even being the first viewer of her and gets a lot of attention, I ignore her. [You guys, give me a break. I¡¯m only here to listen.] Replying to them that way, I look at her to see her frowning in the video. ¡°You always say listen, listen, listen. You said that as well before. Just what is good with my voice?¡± Feeling a headache from her questions and their complaints, I started typing what I really came for. [Your voice is different. I like it, so stop complaining about me and continue playing. The stream is not about your complaints and talk, it¡¯s a gaming stream today.] Reading what I said aloud in her stream, she slowly goes quiet. And started saying stupid thing about me as she goes back to playing her game. ¡°... You irresponsible viewer.¡± Hearing her say those words even though it was so small that people barely heard it. I sighed while looking at the ceiling as I listen to her complain. As day pass by, months and years. A day came where she announced something that soured my mood. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m very sorry but I will be stopping my stream because I will be focusing in my real life from now on. I am very sorry! I am so glad that you people were with me till this day and I¡¯m so glad that you guys didn¡¯t leave me for a long time.¡± Having a mixed feeling, I felt regretful that I won¡¯t be able to listen to her voice again. And for some reason, I felt something in my chest aches. [Well it would be good if you focus with your life, it¡¯s been 6 years since you started.] Sending that message, I saw her look sad as she reads what I sent. ¡°Hehehe, I guess so. Thank you again for watching me mr. first bot!¡± Calling me that for the last time, her stream ended. Looking at the blank screen, I felt empty. A sense of emptiness that I never felt. ¡°I guess this will bring me back to that dull life.¡± Finishing my studies and reaching college was harder than I thought before I was able to hear her. That changed me and felt that it¡¯s not so bad continuing, now I felt that everything feels harder and making me unable to continue them. For the first time, I found out how much I relied to her, and how I used her as my reason to continue doing everything. Thinking that something is wrong to me, I went to a district that I rarely go to. Looking at the stores around the street, I entered one of them and chose a seat next to the window. Ordering a slice of cake and a coffee, I was able to relax and felt that the shop is not that bad. Feeling my mood slightly improves, I continued to go to the caf¨¦. Once a week, twice, until I started going there as a regular. Sitting near the window that I always choose, I still felt empty. Feeling that listening to that girl¡¯s voice after a long time, I went a played one of the songs that she did. A different voice from the one that I remembered, too different that the bell like ring that I hear from her voice disappeared. Removing my earphones, I called a waitress to give my order. Seeing a different girl for the first time, I immediately knew that she¡¯s someone new in the caf¨¦. ¡°I¡¯ll my regular order. Just tell the person in the counter that I¡¯m taking the regular order.¡± Saying those words, I look outside the window feeling the same emptiness from the first time that I went in here. ¡°Ok!¡± Hearing a bell like voice once again echoes to my ears, I immediately looks back to the girl¡¯s back as she goes to the counter stiffly. A voice that I never thought that I will ever hear again, it was so unexpected that I felt conflicted whether I just confused her voice to that girl in that stream. Feeling that conflicting feeling, I resolve myself to do one thing. As she picks my order, she starts walking towards me. Feeling nervous from what I will ask, I felt my hand become sweaty. Maybe¡­ just maybe¡­ Thinking about those, I strengthened my resolve. Placing my order on the table, she thanked me for ordering. Hearing her voice again that was too different from everyone else, I lost my reasoning. As she turns around to go back from work, I grabbed her hand. ¡°Eh?¡± For the first time in my life, I was able to find the thing that I¡¯ve been missing. Just like a passing voice, sometimes it disappears, sometimes it will appear once again. I was able to hear that voice that I wanted to hear for a long time. Starry Sky Watching the starry skies, I always felt that everything would be peaceful. A scene where I can relax and have fun through my life as I continue watching her. That was the best kind of life that I wanted to experience, a life that I hope to happen. Sitting beside a bed as I watch the starry skies, I look at the person sleeping on the bed. Without an oxygen mask on her face, she would be seen as someone sleeping soundly and peacefully like a princess. Something that I will be able to watch as long as I get to see her open her eyes. Combing her silver hair as it shines from the light of the night, I watch her face hoping that she would open her eyes as if it¡¯s morning. The moments in which she would greet me with good morning and a smiling face, a greeting that I long for. Looking at the time, I take my jacket and starts preparing to leave while I glance at her from time to time. Putting on my coat, I approach her and wipes the hair on her face fixing it to the sides. Just looking at her peaceful sleeping face made me feel happy but sad. ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving for now. Let¡¯s see each other again tomorrow.¡± Whispering those words to her, I kiss her forehead and walks away from her. As I open the door to go outside, I look back to her and feel my insides hurt. For a long time, I kept going on and on for her, waiting, waiting for the day where I can see that smile again. Walking out of the room and closing the door behind. I walk towards the desk to leave her care to them. ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving her in your care again.¡± ¡°Leave it to us, Sir. We will make sure nothing happens to her as always!¡± Smiling at her, I walk towards the exit. ¡°He¡¯s so pitiful.¡± ¡°I know right¡­ waiting for almost 15 years¡­ no it should be 16 now right?¡± ¡°Yeah, this is the 16 th year of that girl in here. I remember someone saying that she was admitted here when she was around 12 years old.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yeah, the seniors pitied the guy because he was the same age as her that time and he kept waiting and waiting till today.¡± ¡°What a waste, he looks handsome as well.¡± Even though I was a fair bit of a distance from them, I was able to hear their conversation as if I¡¯m beside them. Since as a child, I got a different level of hearing than other kids that it made me different to them. However, she was the only one who continued to stay with me even as someone labeled as a weird kid in the neighborhood. As we became 12, she got into an accident. An accident that deeply scarred me. An accident that was supposed to happen to me was stopped. In a price of her being the one who got involved in it. Through months, she was able to recover from the injuries but she never woke up since that day. She was declared brain dead but I was so sure that she was not. I don¡¯t know why, but every night after that accident, I can hear an inaudible sound, a voice of hers. You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. Even though I cannot understand any of it, I believed through that even though it might have been an illusion. Staying with her for years and years, I was able to finish everything and become someone successful and fund her stay in the hospital. I waited and waited for long time. Not giving up any hopes of her waking up, I continued to wait for her. Even though we were kids that time, I wanted to fulfill a promise. A promise that has to be fulfilled even at the cost of my life. As I travel to my house, I look at the dark front of the house. Even though being a successful man, I stayed in this old house as to wait for her. Putting my coat in a chair, I sit down in front of the glass door facing the garden. Watching the garden, I relax. Hearing an inaudible voice from somewhere, I can¡¯t help but open my eyes. ¡°Just when are you planning to wake up?¡± As if answering to my question, a different tone came out of the inaudible voice. ¡°You¡¯ve been making me wait for a long time now.¡± Smiling as I say those words, I listen to the inaudible voice. Spending the whole night as I converse without understanding the voice, I continued to talk and talk until I fell asleep. ¡®Are you going to make me wait now that I¡¯m awake?¡¯ Waking up from my sleep, I look around the room while feeling my heart beat fast. Outside the glass door in front of me, is a starry sky. A sky so beautiful that I thought I was dreaming but through that, I hoped I was not dreaming. As if confirming what I just heard while I was asleep, my phone starts ringing. Without hesitation, I start running outside without care of cleaning my face or taking a shower. I take my keys and drives towards the hospital as fast as I can. As I approach the hospital, my heart beats faster and faster. Deep inside, I keep hoping that what I just heard is not a dream. Parking in an empty spot that I saw, I leave the car and ran towards the hospital. Nurses that knows me saw me hurrying and as if trying to tell me the news, they approach me. Ignoring them, I continue running to see the doctor leaving the room. Without caring about me being rude or not, I push him lightly and enters the room. Seeing a girl with her silver hair sitting on the bed looking at the starry sky. I can¡¯t help but feel something in my chest become light. Walking towards her as slowly as I can hoping that everything is not a dream. I got near her and as if just noticing that I arrived, the girl turns around. Looking at her light blue eyes like that of a sky, I can¡¯t help but smile. Seeing me smile, she smiles at me as she extends her hand towards mine. ¡°Good morning~¡± Even with a hoarse voice after not speaking after a long time, she smiles at me with the smile that I was hoping to see for a long time. ¡°Yeah¡­ good morning¡­ sorry I got late.¡± Saying those words I hug the girl as gentle as I can. Seeing the starry sky outside as I hug her, I am glad that this is not a dream. Gift Meeting her for the first time was the most precious gift that I got. A gift that I treasured for as long as she lives, a gift that I wanted to be with forever. She was the one that I never wanted to let go even for a second. ¡°I was so glad that I met you, you know. You made me feel like I was so special even when I¡¯m just a blind girl that time.¡± Saying those words as she held my hand tightly, I let her rest as she leans on my shoulder. A feeling that I was so happy that I experienced. Just watching her with her eyes closed and smiling as the both of us relaxes, that was the time that I never wanted to pass. ¡°You know¡­ I really wanted¡­ to stay¡­¡± Holding my hand weakly, I sit beside her bed. Not leaving or letting her hand go even for a second. I never wanted to. A thin hand, a hand that is full of signs of old age and being near her death. A scene that I never wanted to experience again. ¡°I¡­ I really¡­ envy of your immortality¡­ I envy it so bad¡­ I want to stay beside you¡­ forever.¡± Crying as I hold her thin hand, I hug her as she slowly stops breathing. Feeling the sadness of losing someone, I started hating being an immortal being. A being that should have been the best thing became the most hateful thing. A being that will never be able to be with his most beloved person no matter what happens. Watching the sky as I hug her under the tree. Looking at me and showing the smile, I can¡¯t help but kiss her forehead. Smiling brightly, she takes out a book and writes something. ¡®I am so happy! Being with you, staying with you¡­ I REALLY AM LUCKY!!!¡¯ Reading those words, I can¡¯t help but hug her tightly. A hug that I never wanted to let go, a moment that I never wanted to pass by. She was the gift that I wanted, a gift that I wanted to protect so much. The gift that disappeared from me once, a gift that I never wanted to disappear once more. If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Sitting on a bench in front of a white building, we watch the flowers as I feel her head rest on my shoulder. A bony hand, as thin as I can remember from the time that she disappeared. Feeling the desperation, I never left her. I held her as tight as I can, not wasting any second with her. Words that begged her to never leave me comes out of my mouth. Writing something on my arm, I already know what she wrote. ¡®Don¡¯t be sad¡­ I¡¯ll always be with you, so please don¡¯t be sad! You are the reason why I was so happy through my whole life!¡¯ Just knowing those words, tears that I held back started pouring. I wanted to be with her, I don¡¯t want to lose her again. ¡®Stop crying. I want you to smile you know. The smile that you always showed me when we¡¯re together.¡¯ Stopping myself from crying, I kiss her wrinkly forehead. With an old face, her bright smile never disappeared, a smile that I always wanted to see every day. ¡°I¡¯ll find you¡­ I will search for you even if millions of years pass by¡­ Just wait for me¡­ I¡¯ll find you again.¡± Whispering those words to her, her smile grows brighter. The last smile that she was able to do as she loses life beside me. Remembering those times, I continue to watch the sky, a sky full of stars that lights it making me see a beautiful scene. ¡°You¡¯re always watching the star around this time huh¡­ I¡¯m surprised you¡¯re not getting bored¡­ well not like I can differentiate myself.¡± Sitting beside me while wearing a thick coat. I look to my side to see a girl smile as she sips her beverage. A smile that I will never be able to forget no matter how many times she disappear¡­ a smile that was engraved to my mind. The smile of the person that I thought of as a gift¡­ a precious gift that was given to my never ending life. A gift that I will search no matter how long it takes, no matter how many times it takes, no matter how many times I get hurt. The gift that I will never let go no matter how many times she disappear in front of me. A Father This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.Arriving in front of it, I smash my sword with everything that I have. Feeling it getting destroyed, I was sure that my sword shattered along with it. Peaceful Flow Watching the flow of things, I can¡¯t help but know that everything that I see will disappear as time passes by. A fleeting scene, a fleeting smile and a fleeting life. A being that was once saw the end of a world, I can¡¯t help but hate how much of a pain it gives to someone who experienced it once. A pain that was too painful for even a person that experienced it a lot of times can¡¯t bear to contain. ¡°Why do you look at the sky blankly every time I visit you?¡± A fleeting voice that I was sure that I always hear every time I watch everything ends. A voice that sounds so different that it was familiar. ¡°Well I just want to appreciate how beautiful the sky today.¡± Answering those things, I walk towards the house to prepare for food. ¡°Is it really beautiful? Last time, the sky looks so dark but you still said that it was beautiful.¡± Following me back inside the house, I can¡¯t help but smile wryly. ¡°The sky is always beautiful, no matter how different it is to the sunny days, it will always be beautiful for me.¡± ¡°I guess what you say is true. Then why do you like rain so much?¡± Cutting pieces of the vegetables that I stocked up, I can¡¯t help but remember the rainy days. The days where I can¡¯t save them, days where I have to abandon them and the days where I never left their side. ¡°Well there¡¯s a certain charm in rains than the usual sunny days.¡± Checking where I placed the salt, I throw some wood to the stove as to make sure that the fire will never run out. ¡°The way it soaks everything, I can¡¯t help but think of how calming it is as those drops falls down.¡± ¡°You really are weird sometimes.¡± ¡°Well you always say that to me so I can only agree.¡± ¡°What do you mean? Always?¡± Moving as I control the fire, I put the ingredients that I cut to the pot one by one while making sure that I don¡¯t make a mistake. If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ¡°Did you know, nature itself always needs rain?¡± ¡°Well of course it will dry things up if there¡¯s no rain.¡± Making sure that I never missed a single ingredient, I start stirring the pot gently as I watch the fire calmly burning. ¡°We humans needs the rain as well. Though sometimes there are humans that hates it because it harms them.¡± ¡°What got into you for being philosophical today?¡± ¡°Nothing much. It¡¯s just that, I just want to appreciate what I see, or anything that is in front of me.¡± Putting a lid to the pot, I take out the plates and other cutleries. Preparing the table neatly, I look up to see a beautiful pair of eyes looking straight at me as if she¡¯s curious about something. ¡°Do you appreciate me as well?¡± Hearing her question, I was forced to smile bitterly. ¡°No matter how many times you ask that, I will always answer the same.¡± ¡°Huh? The same? What do you mean? I never asked you about this even once though?¡± Ignoring her words, I finish preparing the table and goes back to the pot. Smelling a good fragrant, I start putting the stew that I made on a small bowl enough for the two of us. ¡°Well you might ask that again in the future so I will just say that.¡± ¡°But you still haven¡¯t answered my question! Do you appreciate me?¡± Placing every food at the table, I take a seat while looking at her having a tantrum. ¡°How about you just take seat here right now and eat first. Thinking with an empty stomach is not going to help you, you know?¡± ¡°But I am the one that should not be thinking! You just have to say yes or no!¡± ¡°Oh come on, don¡¯t trouble yourself with that and just eat with me right now. It will taste bad if it gets cold.¡± Smiling at her calmly, she glares at me angrily then takes a seat at the opposite side of mine. ¡°Just stop thinking about complicated stuff and enjoy your visit here. It¡¯s not like I will be going somewhere that you will not be able to ask me again.¡± Accepting what I said, she started eating the food. Watching her expression change to different kinds as she enjoys the food, I can¡¯t help but smile and start eating as well. ¡°Do you like your peaceful life here at the country side?¡± Looking up at her, I can¡¯t help but chuckle a bit seeing her avoiding my eyes. ¡°Well¡­ I do? This place is extremely peaceful and not like any other monsters or demons will come in here demanding something heavy.¡± A place where there¡¯s no one will ruin the peaceful atmosphere. A place that I can watch the world flow peacefully while doing something that I wanted to do. ¡°How about you? Would you want to move in to this country side that I stay at?¡± Taking some spoonful and eating bread as I wait for her answer, she looks at me as if wanting to say something. ¡°¡­ I still can¡¯t. I still have a lot of work to do before I can do that.¡± Taking a deep breath, her eyes shows a strong determination. ¡°I see¡­ I guess the work of a princess and a commander is too stressful as well that¡¯s why you always come here.¡± ¡°I know right, they always ask me to do a lot of stuff and even those new recruits that Jacob got are too undisciplined so I got more headaches.¡± As she starts ranting off, I can¡¯t help but see that she is enjoying it. A face that almost looks like she has no expression, a white hair that has that makes her looks like a cold person. Just looking at her beautiful pair of eyes that has the same color of ruby. I can¡¯t help but just admire her beauty, a beauty that any person will have to admire by just looking at them. ¡°Father even wants me to marry someone capable from some military family. Even though I always tell him that I already have someone in my heart.¡± ¡°Well I guess your father wants to see a grandchild and to ease your burden from military.¡± ¡°That¡¯s what he wants but I don¡¯t want to marry some stiff guy that only thinks of their work.¡± Eating and conversing, I can¡¯t help but remember moments that I forgot after living for a long time. ¡°Well as long as you do the things that you are happy to do, then I will support you. Just remember that if you ever feel stressed then come here, maybe when I get a good catch at the forest I will be able to cook your favorite food.¡± ¡°Really?!¡± ¡°Yeah. I promise it.¡± Saying those things with a smile, I can¡¯t help but think of how peaceful this life is. A life where I can enjoy every bits of my life without suffering. A life that I can just watch the flow until the time for me to join in the flow and move along the cycle. ¡°Living a peaceful life really is the best, so I will be waiting for you to finish those work of yours.¡± The Wind That Never Leaves It was a stormy day when we met, a day that I thought everything should have ended. The day in which I was able to feel warmth through the cold winds that I always wanted to escape from. "Continue your life, there''s nothing to lose even if you continue forward. Maybe you will find something that will make you stay instead of escaping." Hearing those words as she holds me in her embrace as if she never wanted me to escape. I decided to continue living because of her warmth. As I live through each day, I was able to find what she meant. The ''something'' that will make me stop escaping from the cold winds that I''ve always hated. ~ "Hey! Stop spacing out and help me move these boxes inside! Seriously you kept telling me to live with you and yet here you are, just looking at me." Looking at her bright smile, my world brightens. Carrying a box, I see a picture frame of us inside. A box that contains my memories with the wind that kept me warm inside. The wind that brought me out of that miserable cold. The wind that brought warmth amidst the cold wind. ~ "Hehe~ I was able to pass the exam to my dream university! How about you?" Watching her skip around while waving the letter from the university. I show her the letter that I received from the same university. "Ah! You applied to the same university~ Look at you wanting to stay by my side even in there, how cute~" Watching her smile as she pat my head like a child, I can''t help but smile once again. Her smile that shines bright and gives warmth, I can''t help but think ''Ah... staying really is the best choice.'' ~ "I never thought the guy that I saved would be the one that catches my heart~" Watching her face slightly flushed, I can''t help but smile as she talks about our past as she drink. "You were so cute when you visited me to say thanks~ you were so cute that I can''t help but skip a beat, you know~ then suddenly you became so cool~ so dependable and... and..." Listening to her as she slowly fall doze off while trying to finish her word made me smile. Looking at her smile as she sleeps made me feel warm. ''Ah... I really can''t stop loving you.'' As that thought appears in my mind, I hug her. ~ This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. Feeling the cold winds, I can''t help but remember my past. "We''re finally a full fledged adult now~!" As if waking me up from a nightmare, I look at her jumping around like a child, I follow her wherever she goes. Watching her hugging her friends as they cheer made me feel happy as well. Seeing me smile while looking at her, she approaches me and holds my hand as we start walking home. "Now that we graduated, we shall start living with our happiness in mind~! Let''s live as long as we can, be happy as long as we can~!" Hearing her declaration made the cold winds that I was feeling disappear as if it was an illusion. ~ "Staying in the house is making me feel antsy~!" Sitting on the couch as she caress her belly, she smiles while humming a familiar tune. "We''re going to be a happy family~ so grow faster, my lovely baby~!" Watching her talk to her bulging belly made me smile. ~ "My parents always told me to cherish those that I deem as precious. And you know, you two are my precious family so I will always cherish you and our daughter~" As she whisper those words to me, I can''t help but tighten my embrace to her and our daughter. I look at her, I see her looking back at me with a smile that spreads her warmth and happiness, I smile back at her. However, beneath those warmth that I feel from her. Cold wind brushes behind me, as if threatening to take away my the ones that gives me warmth. ~ As my vision slowly blurs, I look at her and our child unconscious beneath me. I hold on to my consciousness not caring about the cold that''s slowly creeping up through my body. "... You were the one who gave me warmth... the one who was shining so bright and warm that I was able to find a way out... the one who made me stay..." Whispering those words, I kept holding on without letting the rubble crush us. "... I... I want you... to live happily with her... no... I wanted to... watch you two be happy... you and our daughter... be happy in front of me..." Feeling the weakness and cold slowly take over my body, the weight suddenly disappears. Collapsing beside them, I hug the two of them lightly. Feeling their warmth as the coldness takes over my body. Knowing that the both of them are safe from now on, every strength leaves my body. ''... I really love the both you...'' Those thoughts appeared in my mind as my consciousness disappears.
