He continued drinking while laughing and crying at the same time.. in short he looks like crazy... but i guess i'm crazier than him.

" Are you laughing because you are happy or you are laughing because you want to release the pain that you are experiencing right now" i suddenly asked him

He stopped laughing and starred at me.

" i'm happy.. you know why? Because you are here.. because we are together, i'm happy because even though i lost my wealth and all you are still here on my side" he said and gulped the beer that he was holding

" okay" i said and stood up, i'm ready to walk when he pulled my hands and hugged me from the back

" Hey..get off .. me.." i said as i move my body to avoid him

" please give me 5 minutes, let's stay like this for 5 minutes" he said and bowed his head on my nape

I keep still, my heart beats very fast right now, i don't know if he can feel it or what.

We were on that position when i felt a water flowing down from my nape.

Is he crying?

I faced him and held his face

" hey.. why are you crying?" I asked as i lift his chin up to face me

He smiled in response " tears of joy" he said while sniffing

" i don't know our real status back then, i don't know how long we stayed together, the things happened to us and i don't know the word US, but right now i assure you that i will be on your side" i said as i wiped the tears on his eyes

" am i being selfish right now?" He suddenly asked

" why?"

"Because i rebel against my fathers will?, because i chose my happiness more than them?"

I don't know how to answer his question right now, i don't know what to do.

I hugged him tight, a hugged that simply says that i will always be with you.

" money is nothing you can easily earn that" i said "right now the hardest part is not loosing everything you have it is loosing your parents on your side, loosing the people who helped and mold you" i added

He sat and opened the beer and gulped it, i  tried stopping him but i can't he can easily block me using his big hands.

I stopped and sat in front of him

" Off, always remember that God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but he promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way, the pain you are experiencing right now are just challenges that you need to fight for, challenges that will teach you to be stronger than before, no one will help you survive through it except yourself"

I don't know what i'm saying right now, all i just want is to uplift his mood and lessen the pain he feels right now.

" cry as hard as you want, but just make sure that when you stop crying, you'll never cry again for the same resason." I added

" how can i ever do that? Right now i lost my parents because i fight them back, i lost my wealth and i lost you?" He said and starred at me with his swollen eyes

" what do you mean you lost me?, i'm still here sitting in front of you" i answered and smiled

" i lost you.... i lost the old you..because of me the old you leave me.. you can't remember everything because of me"he continued talking

" i lost my memories Off but that doesn't mean that i lost my heart too right?, i can't remember everything right here" i said an pointed my head " but this" then i pointed my heart " this remembers everything, the joy, care and the love that you showed me, it all stayed safe right here"

" thank you m" he said and hugged me

" Stop crying na ja, your getting uglier haha" i laughed

We were staring at each other when his phone rung.

" pick it up, that might be an emergency" i said

he slowly pick his phone and i saw MOM flashed on the screen

I released a sigh...wait what?... why do i need to feel scared when i heard his phone rung... why did i felt annoyed thinking that Jeed is calling him.. did i just felt JEALOUS right now?.... no.. no... i shook my head

" I'll just answer it quick" he saidandwentto the terrace

I stood up and started cleaning the mess on the floor, im busy cleaning when i saw a piece of paper.. a paper that i never thought that will change me again. I slowly flipped it and saw a letter.. letter from the doctor? What's this? And what's with the attached picture what is this?

" okay mom thank you"

I immediately hide the paper when i heard his voice

" hey what happened to you? You look like you saw a ghost ?" He suddenly asked me

"None haha i'm sorry" i shook my head " i'll just go downstairs to cook ramen for you, okay?"
I didn't wait him to talk i run down instantly

My heart is beating so fast, i'm getting scared right now, what's the meaning of this paper, i need an answer i need someone to talk to, i need mom right now.

I took my phoneand dialed mom's number, at 3 rigns she immediately answered the call

" Mom where are you right now?" I asked

" here at phuket, taking care of your grandmom, by the way i'll be home the day after tomorrow, okay, take care of yourself" she said

" Okay mom, tou take care too" i answered and ended the call

I guess this will remain a mystery first, i wish i'm just mistaken, i wish i got the wrong tought about this.

I went to the kitchen and cooked ramen for him, after cooking i went back to my room to give the food to him, but i saw him lying down on my bed hugging a picture frame, i guess thst picture frame came from his backpack. I slowly walked and acedthe ramen on the desk and sloy walked ear him, i slowly took the picture frame and i was shocked to see what's in it. It is our picture a stolen picture that shows how happy we are. I read a note on the bottom of it

Taken by Krist

" magic can be found in stolen moments."

" you are my happiness and you will always be"

" i will love you not because you stayed on my side for so many years, but because you are the reason behind those smiles."

— Off Jumpol

I didn't notice that i am already crying. I hurriedly wiped the tears on my eyes.

I starred at his face, his face full of pain, the way he breath its like he is carrying a heavy rock inside him, his brows are almost forming a straight line, i sat next to him and give him a kiss on the forehead.

" i will wokf hard to remember every single details about us, i will help you fight and i will stay by your side" i whispered on his ears.

I saw he moved and faced the other side of the bed, i slowly stood up and went to the kitched to bring the cold ramen back, i guess i will nust cook for him tomorrow.

I turned off the ligjts and went back to my room to sleep, still he is sleeping peacefully, i crawl to bed and laid next to him, i closed my eyes and fell asleep instantly.

" tomorrow is another battle to fight and we need to win and survive from it."
