Chereads / The Last Tears / Chapter 8 - CHAPTER EIGHT: THE SONG

Chapter 8 - CHAPTER EIGHT: THE SONG

Arya sat on the bed cross legged eagerly waiting. Naysa pulled the chair and sat down pulled the guitar on her laps, then her fingers started moving on the strings.

I was too lonely, I needed company

Watching the last ray of sun sink deep in the western horizon, I let my poor heart bleed

Until then, I know deep down I need company,

Sister am waiting...

She was too pretty, too shy when she arrived,

Sweet sister you didn't want to see the world,

Mommy remind my sister to be brave and face the world,

Open your eyes baby sister, open your eyes and look at me, am waiting,

Everytime the beeping stopped, the whole world would come to a stand still,

Open your eyes and look at me, your determination to live is far beyond what everyone excepts,

Don't close your eyes, don't sleep, I just want to stare into your sky blue eyes,

You're brave sister, I want to walk around with you and show everyone your cute pretty face,

Smile for me, never be sad,

At my last moment,I want to stare into your eyes, that's the last thing I want to see before I fall into an eternal sleep,

Hold on there sister, it's too early to leave,

Be with me Arya, keep me company,

I love you sweet sister.

Naysa stopped, her hands midway the strings of the guitar. Arya smiled and wiped the tears off her her.

"I like your sweet voice. Everything about you is charming." Arya said.

Someone clapped. It was there dad who arrived just this same evening. He had heard his daughter sing and had listened to all her lines. He was touched.

" Dad... I need music instruments." Naysa smiled.

" That's good of you my daughter. I'll get them for you." He replied proudly.

"Dad... I don't want to die, I don't want to go. I want to stay a bit longer. I want to be with my sister forever. Daddy please..." Arya finally burst into tears. Naysa pulled her into a warm embrace.

" Shh!!! You won't die... Arya you'll be here with me, and I'll sing for as long as you feel like." Naysa comforted her.

" No... Sister no... I heard it, the doctor said I won't hold on for long." Arya cried. Mr. Haven was lost of words. It was true the doctor said that, but he didn't know that his daughter heard. Just now he didn't know how to comfort her or how to face the truth either. Arya was already too weak. Arya cried to sleep. Naysa wept inwardly. It was Soo heartbreaking.

Mr. Haven went back to the military the next day and life went on as usual.

Naysa was uneasy in class. She felt everything was not all right today but couldn't guess what was it. Finally she decided to permit herself and go home. Ok getting home, uncle Tarran had come and he handed her a card. Naysa took a taxi to hospital.

Arya had lost conscious and hadn't recovered yet. The doctors were all hopeless as they looked at her small pretty sleeping face. When Naysa arrived, she needed not to ask what happened. She just hugged her unconscious sister tight. Her mother told her that her dad had called two hours ago saying he was boarding a plane here but he hasn't shown up and no one is picking his call.
