Our relationship is already perfect not until the summer vacation came. Every summer vacation, Eve and her parents are going to America for having a vacation. Starting off the summer vacation her parents decided to go to America as soon as possible because of their reason that Eve's grandparents are waiting.
"I know you will be sad when I'm not around but I'll be back before the school year started. When I'm back here let's go to the amusement park and ride all of them. See you! Always take care, Sei!"
When Eve was saying goodbye, It feels like she was not coming back. I don't want her to leave but they need to leave because her grandparents are waiting for her. I'll wait the day when she comes back here and we'll go to the amusement park together. She will be gone for how many months only and she'll quickly back home. I am always calling her phone to talk to her and ask her if she were fine, on the tone of her voice she is fine and she tells me that I don't need to worry. She was cheerfully sharing the day with her grandparents and it looks like she was happy but I feel this strange feeling whenever I talk to Eve. I think there's something off about her, there's something wrong. The other month is going well not until when I heard her voice is not cheerful like the other day.
"Are you alright? It seems you're not fine, your voice seems sad"
"Don't worry Sei, I'm fine. I think I am having a cold because we're going out almost every day. I just need a rest and I'll be fine. You should take care of yourself, I'll call you later."
He does not need to know about my condition because I'm scared. He did not know that whenever I went here to America my doctor checking the status of my condition. I notice that I am being weak and always feel exhausted before coming here. I resist all of the pain in front of Sei and everyone because I don't want them to worry about me, I just want them to keep smiling. They always see a cheerful Eve, I don't want to change the Eve that they loved. This is me but then when I got this illness I'm always pretending that I did not feel the pain, every time I am walking I feel my bones of are collapsing. Every night, I feel the worst pain, and sometimes it is swelling. I can't sleep at night because of the pain but I need to fight this disease because Bartender is still waiting for me. I feel that my illness is getting worse than I ever thought. I am here at the hospital lying on my bed and suddenly my doctor came.
"I'm so sorry, your illness is getting worse because you're always used your legs rather than having limited movement. Your treatment is not effective at all. You should go for surgery to remove all of the cancer and spare the limb. I could not guarantee that you'll survive the surgery because the cancer cells are spreading to your body. You're in the final stage of your illness, I'm sorry"
After hearing those words my parents and grandparents are drowning in tears but me I just smiled bitterly. I fight for many years but I think it's my time to go but I should keep fighting because I made a promise to you Sei that I'll go home and we'll go to the amusement park together. I am always lying on my bed and to be honest, I am bored here at the hospital because I am doing nothing. Whenever Sei calls me, he gives me strength, and I always pretend that I was fine.
"Hello? Is this Sei the childhood friend of my daughter, Eve?"
"Yes! This is Sei, how could I help you, Auntie?"
I got an unknown call but I decided to answer because I have a strange feeling from the day when Eve left this town. I pick up the phone and I heard the voice of Eve's mother. She reveals the condition of Eve and she explains everything to me. To be honest, I don't know how would I respond because I was shocked when I heard all of those words, it's like my world was paused in a moment. For all of the years that I am on Eve's side, I did not know anything, I did not know that she suffered a lot for many years and I did not notice anything. Her mother told me that Eve will be undergoing the surgery and she wanted me to be on the side of Eve, without hesitation, I agree. I tell this stuff to Mikoto and he tells this stuff also to Kou because he knew that he loves Eve so much. We packed all of the things that we needed and we headed to America.
"Yes, I'll send you the name of the hospital. I'll see you soon!"
"Who's that, mom?"
"I'm sorry honey, but I tell everything to Sei. I don't want to see you sad"
I smiled bitterly, I know this day will happen and It is happening right now. I know that Sei will be mad at me because I keep this a secret, I need to be ready. My surgery will begin five days from now, I asked my mom to get a paper and a ball pen because I want to give a letter to Sei. I write all of the things that I wanted to tell Sei, he gives me a lot of strength and happiness. After two days, Sei arrived at the hospital with Kou and Mikoto.
