Time has passed, and my life is over. I feel like I'm going to die at any time; my body feels stiff, and it feels like I'm breaking apart every single day.
I stared at the white ceiling since now I'm in the hospital waiting for death to come to me.
Then I heard giggling and laughter outside my window, and I saw a group of teenagers teasing a guy with a plaster bandage on his right arm.
"It's good to be young," I mumbled. Out of dozing, I heard someone knocking at my door.
"Miss Jane? May I come in? " She says, in a soft voice.
"Yes," she says, then she comes in while holding a tray full of food and soup.
"Today our lunch is Rosemary Chicken Soup plus a healthy dessert," she says in a cheerful voice.
"Thank you, Ms. Juliet," I say while bitterly smiling at her.
She is a good girl, a cheerful girl. She always helps me, so I think of her as my daughter. Since I don't have a family, a husband, or kids, I just live alone in a big mansion, so before I die, I will give my inheritance to an orphanage and this kid. It's my thanks for taking care of me.
After I ate some, Juliet never lived at my side. Out of curiosity, I looked into my window again, where I could see a big tree without any leaves.
"Juliet, do you know when the spring will come?"
"I think 3 months for now and the spring will come," she said while peeling the apples
"3 months, it's too long."
Then I look into the blue sky. I saw that Juliet was staring at me.
"Miss Jane, do you like spring?" She said while looking at me with a full heart of sincerity.
"Yes, spring is the most beautiful yet the most painful one "
she just stared at me, like waiting for me to tell speak
"You know, every single day when I was young, I always waited for spring to come. I love the view of our village, where there are many cherry blossoms and colorful flowers. I miss the days when I was rushing to the gate so that I wouldn't be late. I miss how we sing, dance, laugh, and cry, and the most memorable moments in my life are when we fight because of love. "I said softly that I felt like crying when I remembered our days together."I saw Juliet biting her lips so she to not cry.
what a kindhearted girl I think so I continue
" I have a lot of regrets in my life. If I try to resolve our misunderstanding, if I try to convince her to pursue her dreams, if I cheer him up, if I take notice of what her situation is, and if I tell the teacher what really happen that day, none of this will happen. I thought it was none of my concern because I was focused on my future and studies. I thought being number one, getting into a fine university, finishing my studies, and getting a good job was OK. What a childish way of thinking I had"
Then I looked at Juliet's eyes, which were full of sadness. It was like she was going to cry, so I ended my story.
"But don't worry, staying here in the hospital for too long makes me happy. That's why I want to thank you, Ms. Juliet, for taking care of me." I smile at her and she also smiles.
"Don't worry, Miss. Jane; just call me and I'll come to you," she said as she exited the room.
I felt stuffed since I had eaten a lot, but even though my stomach was full, my heart was empty.
"How long do I have to wait before I see you all?"
For a whole day, I just stared at my window until night.
Another night, another dream. What will my dream be this time?
I always dreamt of the past, a painful past that always hunting me, so I tried to close my eyes.
I suddenly heard someone talking to me, so I opened my eyes, and I was shocked to see a younger version of myself in front of me talking about something. At first, I couldn't understand her language.
"Who..are you?" And what are you talking about? "I couldn't understand what you were saying," I said, then she frowned at me and sighed, reaching out her finger and pointing it at my forehead. I can't scream for help. It feels heavy. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my head. It felt like I was going to die because of the pain. Suddenly, the pain disappeared.
"Can't you understand me?" She said, and I nodded out of panic.
"OK, let me start again. I'm Asmodeus, one of the princes of hell," she said. Then I got terrified since the person in front of me is a demon that has my younger image.
"You, do you have any kind of wish?"
"Wish," I murmured.
"YES!, any kind of wish, such as wanting to be younger, richer, or even travel back in time," she says. It feels like she is staring into my soul eyes.
"You have a lot of regret in your life. Going back in time will be a chance for you to make your mistakes right." Then she smiled devilishly, making my whole body tremble out of fear.
"NOW, Jane, say your wish and I will grant it."
"My wish." I have a lot of wishes but.. I know what I'm going to do is going to cost me a lot, but if it's for them, If I try to understand them, if I cherish them all, I'm not going to be alone for my whole life.
That's what I think, so this is a chance for me to make my mistake right.
"I wish to go back in the past and make my mistake right." Then she laughed viciously. After that, she stopped and now in front of me
"Your wish is my command." She looks into my eyes.
"don't forget every wish has a price and the price will be given at the end of your life"
"Good luck, Jane Heredist."
Then she snapped her fingers and everything went black.
