There were only five days left before the sixty days is up. I visit her often to make her smile. However, I could tell that she is becoming weaker. "Michael, I think its time for you to stop coming here."
Serene said. (Read Related : Love Hurts Quotes) Her father did not ban me from going to their house but he asked me not enter her room because she didn't want to see me. I was upset and I locked myself in my room for four days. Soon the sixtieth day of our contract arrived and I was crying in my room. My dad came in and talked to me. The gap between my dad and I had vanished after his accident. He became a good father and I guess it’s because he realized that we only have each other in this world. I told him about what happened at Serene's place, how I felt about her and the whole story about how we met. "Son," he said as he patted my back, I rushed to her home after hearing what my dad said. It was raining but I didn't care. All I know was I needed to be by her side. It might have been the last day of our contract but I decided that I'll still visit her at her house until she gets better. I will also tell her how I feel. When I arrived at her place, I saw the doctors running into her room. I ran after them but they did not allow me to enter her room so I waited patiently outside. It was 11.30 p.m. when they told me that I could go in. I saw her lying on the bed sleeping. I also noticed that her condition has deteriorated. Her lips and face were pale and I knew she was suffering. I sat on the chair beside her bed and started crying. (Read Related : Poems that Make You Cry) "Mi-Michael?" Serene asked hesitantly. There was a moment of silence. I didn't know what would be her response but it doesn't matter as I had told her how I felt. If she accepts me, I will stay by her side and if she rejects me, I will never give up until she loves me too. I made up my mind never to leave her again. I noticed that she was crying. I hugged and kissed her on her forehead. I asked her the reason for her tears. She did not answer but hugged me back. Does it mean that she loves me too? I took her guitar and started playing her favorite song, "Your Guardian Angel". She smiled at me while I played the guitar. After the song, she told me that she hides her diary under her pillow. Could it be that she wants me to read it? I kissed her cheeks and watched her as she sleeps. --------------------------------- It was 4.00 a.m. when I woke up. She was still sleeping. I went to the kitchen to get a drink. I saw her father there. "Serene…" Her father said. What?! It can't be! He's kidding right?! I just confessed my feelings for her! It can't be true! I can't lose her! I was having those thoughts as I couldn't accept what he said. I ran back to her room and took her diary from under her pillow. I didn’t want to read it without her permission but it’s the only way to confirm what her dad had said in the kitchen. I opened her diary and started reading.
