"T A E!", She let out an ear-piercing cry before everything went fuzzy. She saw some sympathetic faces around herself. The public was in panic. She tried to spot Taehyung, but failed. Then slowly everything went from blur to complete black.

3 DAYS LATER

Taehyung opened his eyes and squinted as the bright light attacked his pupils. The first word that came out of his mouth was 'Sri?'. He hoped to see her by his side, to hold her warm hand like always when he used to be sick, instead he saw the doctor.

"She is in the next cabin." The manly voice of the doctor reached his eardrum.

Taehyung thought he was dreaming until he realized that he could actually see, "D-Doctor? I can see!"

"Yes, you can. How do you feel, Mr Kim?" The doctor smiled at him.

Taehyung scanned around himself. He laid on a hospital bed with stitches and bandages around his body. "How is this possible? I mean, I am blind since birth!"

"There is someone who had donated his eye to you."

"Who is this divine soul? May I get a chance to see him?"

The doctor looked down and hesitated before speaking, "The person indeed has a divine soul. But Alas! He has already passed away."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just wanted to express my gratitude towards him. Hope his soul rests in peace." He spoke with empathy.

Then Taehyung remembered his last date with his wife. They were in the bridge when the car hit them. He had fallen face forward on the ground. His had seen his own blood pooling around him. He heard the cry of Sri from the other side. He tried to run and check for her safety, but his body denied and he blacked out.

"S-Sri, m-my wife! H-How is she? I want to meet her, Plea-ease?"

"Calm down. Your health get worse. You are not fit enough."

Taehyung realized that panicking wouldn't do any good. So, he calmed himself down. He exhaled deeply before saying, "Please doc. I just want to see her."

"Okay. But don't stay for long."

Taehyung sensed something was off in his voice. "What happened doctor? Is she not okay?" His body was once again becoming cold at the thought of what the doctor was about to reply. All dark thoughts clouded his mind.

"About that......"

....................................................................

Taehyung opened the door to find Sri sleeping on the bed. She was the most beautiful person Tae had ever seen. She was almost invisible wearing the white gown on the white bedsheet. Her dark brown hair was spread on either side. She seemed to be prettier that his imagination. She looked like a fallen angel even in the sickbed.

Taehyung approached her in slow steps. She was too weak and fragile. Her lifeline seemed to be hanging by a thin thread which could break any moment. She wasn't wearing any bandages except the IV tube. Unlike him, there were not many injuries on her outer body. The injuries were internal and major.

Taehyung sat on the chair beside her bed and took her hand into his. It was cold and dry. He remembered the last time he held her warm hands on the bridge three days ago. He brushed his thumb on her wrist. He looked at her innocent, child-like sleeping face. Her chest rose and fell rhythmically. She looked peaceful. Taehyung slightly smiled. Eventually his lips trembled and his eyes overflowed with tears.

Hearing Taehyung's sobs, Sri slowly opened her eyes. "Are you crying?", her voice came out as a whisper.

Taehyung spoke in between his sobs, "You're dying, Sri!"

Her eyes widened for a split of second then it returned to normal. "Who told you?"

"Do you think you can fool me that easily?! Don't try to hide your pain." Taehyung scolded.

She smiled, "What else did the doctor say?"

"What else do I need to hear!" his tears fell on her hand which he held.

Sri caressed his cheeks, "Are you feeling better? Does it hurt too much?"

"You are still worried for me?!", Taehyung could barely talk. His voice broke every time he tried to speak. "How could you think I will be better after this? It hurts here-*hiccup* Seeing you like this, it hurts here." he placed her palm on his heart.

"I wish I could have some more time to spend with you......" her eyes began to tear up.

"Please don't say these. You love me, right? You know I can see! Yes, I can see how beautiful this world is, how beautiful you are! You have promised me Sri, we will see the stars together. Please just don't leave me! Please..." He clasped her hand, placed his forehead and cried vulnerabily.

Sri managed a faint smile and rubbed the tears off his cheeks. "It's good news that you can see. I am so happy for you!", she tried to show some excitement although she felt terribly weak. It took all her energy to speak even small sentences at the moment. She could feel her days to live were over. Only if she had some more time.

"Please stay with me I can't leave without you--", Taehyung cried.

Sri pressed her finger on his lips to shut him up. "Silly boy. Who said I am leaving you? My body may be not there with you, but my soul... It will always be there with you."

Taehyung cried harder.

"Now promise me, you won't do anything stupid when I'm gone." She laid out the pinkie of her free hand. Taehyung shook his head.

"Consider it my last wish. Please?" Her pleading eyes were fixed on her husband.  "You will move on in life. You will frame your own world." Taehyung took her hand while she continued, "Whenever you miss me, just close your eyes. I will be there in front of you. Now give me a smile, stupid boy."

Taehyung gave her a last boxy smile with eyes full of tears and breath unsteady. It made her life fulfilled. She would definitely debate with God for snatching away her love. "If I ever get to reborn again, I promise to come back to you. I will be Taehyung's  Sri. And that time we will last long, together."

Sri raised herself with an effort. Taehyung understood what she wanted. He leaned in. Their lips touched each other's. Their eyes overflowed with tears but they had smile on their faces. Their lips moved in sync.

Sri got reminded of the uncountable love and affection she had received from Taehyung. She was happy to feel him on her for the last time. She could not ask anything more. Gradually her lips slowed down and finally came to a halt. Her eyes remained closed, never to be open again. Taehyung felt her last warm breath on his face. The last rose petal which had witnessed the passionate love between the two youths, fell off from the vase.

She was gone....... gone forever.

Taehyung saw ther heartline become straight on the monitor. He laid his head on her lifeless chest and cried desperately. He wished to turn back time, turn back everything that happened in the past few days. He could do anything, pay any price, only to get her back. But now everything was over. She was gone and that's the reality.

He reminisced his happy memories with her while he cried.

// "I cannot see, I am blind."

...............................

"Sir, don't doubt me, I may be blind but I will prove myself more efficient than any other normal girl."

..........................................

Taehyung: "I think I-I like you."

Sri: "I LOVE YOU!"

Taehyung: "Stop calling me 'sir', will you? Call me Taehyung. Say Tae-Hyung?"

Sri: "T-Tae-H-Hyung"

..............................................

Sri: "let it out. Its okay." She slowly stroked his hair while Tae wept.

Taehyung: "no, you get me to sleep." He made a pout face.

Sri: "Tae......Argghh fine!"

........................................................

Sri: "I am deadly serious; I have a plan..."

..................................

Taehyung: "You're incredible! I can't believe it had actually worked."

...................................

Sri: "Yah! Sleepy head. How can you doze off at this moment?!"  //

He recalled the previous night's dinner when he had gifted her the necklace. It still shone on her neck. He didn't realize a night had passed mourning. His heart felt so heavy. His was out of tears. How would he get back to normal lifestyle? How could he forget her? Would he ever get over this grief?

"I've promised you Sri. I will be strong only for you. I'll try to move on only for you. Hope you will be happy wherever you are now." Then he reluctantly left the room with a heavy heart after kissing her forehead, for the last time. "Remember I will love you, always, my Sri."

1 YEAR LATER

Taehyung hadn't changed much since Sri had died. His room was full of her pictures and other memories. It was surprising that he hadn't shed a single drop of tear after that day. This was because he didn't need to. He always felt her presence around himself. She was a part of him.

Taehyung had also progressed in his business. His company now stretched beyond Korea's border and he frequently needed to go abroad for that. His vision boosted his efficiency. Today morning he had returned from India.

It was 8pm when John entered his room. Taehyung looked at him without an expression. His emotions died with his beloved.

"Sir, I've received this letter today morning. I had forgot to give it to you. Pardon me." John handed him over the letter and left the room.

Taehyung nonchalantly took it out of the envelope. He assumed it to be another wearing business letter. But the name inscribed on it caught is attention. The world almost stopped around him. He stumbled and sat on the nearest chair.

"Kim SRI."
