Description

   Luka wakes up in the hospital.  He blinks his eyes twice.  How long was he asleep?

  Chole's  POV:

    "Luka, I am here."

       I smile when he opens his eyes.

      "Are you alright?"

       "Yes, I think so."

         I hug him.

         "I am sorry, but what are you doing?"

         "I am hugging you."

         "Yes, but why?"

          "I am your girlfriend."

     I sit there flabbergasted.

Girlfriend, since when?

I knew she looked hot.

I never imagined this blonde babe was my girl.

 I shook my head.

   "Come on Luka!"

    "I am sorry, but I do not know you."

      I saw tears form in her eyes. I felt bad that I was the one to put them there.

      "I will not give up on you. "

       I smiled.

     "What happened to me?"

     
  "You came in 'cause you passed out on your boat."

   "The doctors ran some tests. They found a tumor on your left thigh. It turned out to be cancer."

     "They said you will start treatments soon."

    I frowned.  My mother was dead, my father assumed dead, and now this?

    "What about Juleka, my sister, is she okay?"

   Chole shakes her head.  She starts to sob again.

     "What is wrong, pretty lady?"

      "Luka, your sister has been dead for the last three years."

        "Oh, I must have forgotten."

        "Luka, the doctors found a brain anurysm thanks to cancer in your thigh."

         "I see."

     "He did surgery to remove the anurysm."

      Luka's  POV: 

   I wish I could remember her.

      Why could not I?

   Surely, I would remember someone so cute as her if she dated me, right?

    Chole, I think that is what she said her name was.

     I  reached up and held her hand.

     "Miss, I am sorry. I am not sure why my memory is so vague."

      "Luka, I will wait for you. I will do what it takes to help you get the memories back."

      "I have to cause I can't lose you."

       I nod my head.

     I squeeze her hand.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

   One week later, Luka is out of the hospital.

      Chole's  POV:

     I stand nervously out in the parking lot.

Will he remember me?

    I got permission to sign him out.

    It was because there was no next of kin to do it.

  I see him make his way to the exit.

I  grin as he approaches me.

"Luka, over here."

  "Oh, hi, Miss Chole."

    I frown.  

  There goes the Miss again.

>>>>>>>>>

Luka's  POV:

  I am headed home today.

 Where is it?

  I see a lovely sight in the parking lot.

  It is the same lovely girl who came to see me.

  I can tell it is her.

  I see her wave to me.

  I walk in her direction.

   "Hi, Miss Chole."

    I see her frown.

What brought that up?

  I scratch my arm in confusion.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
     Two years later, the cancer treatments are all finished. The test results came back with good news the cancer is all gone!  Luka is in remission now.
 
 
    

     Chole's  POV:

      "I am so happy for you."

      "Same here."

         I hear him sigh.

          I suppose he is confused.

        "What is the matter?"

        "I thought you promised to wait for me. It seems you were pulling at my heartstrings."

           I  shrug my shoulders.

        What does he mean?

         "Luka, I have waited for you."

         "Oh, yeah, then, who is that over there?"

            I look in the direction he points and laughs.

         "Chole, it is not funny!"

       "Luka, he is my cousin."

     "Wait, what did you just say?"

      I  put my hands go to my lips in surprise.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

      Luka's  POV:

      I hear say how happy she is for me.

    I am happy for her.

   I sigh.

"What is the matter?"

"I thought you promised to wait for me. It seems you were pulling at my heartstrings."

  I see her shrug her shoulders.

    "Luka, I have waited for you."

     "Oh, yeah then who is that over there?"

      I point toward the far corner where he stands.

     I watch her eyes trail the direction my finger points and hear her laughter.

   "Chole, it is not funny."

    "Luka, he is my cousin."

     I breathe a sigh of relief.

   "Wait, what did you just say?"
   
     I see her hands go to her lips in surprise.

       I said,  "Chole, it is not funny!"

       "You said my name.  Oh, Luka, you do remember me!"

       "Yes, I do.  I mean, you are my girlfriend."

       I smirk at her as she blushes.

     So adorable.

    I take out the box and get down on one knee.

    "Chole, you have been there for me through ups and downs, thick and then, through all my sorrows and happiness.  Will you marry me?"

      I wait to see how she reacts.

      I see her lip puff out and tears fill her eyes.

     Do I say something wrong?

       "Yes, I will marry you."

bye-bye, little owlets!

 Summer out!
