Hope flower
In the corner of the spacious room, the crown of flowers wrapped around his body fell slowly and it showed the whole situation as if making a good atmosphere.
The contents of my view were not diverted at all.
The silence that covered the hospital room looked like the surface of a frozen lake, full of cruel cold.
His face was lamenting at the moment that it had dropped the flower crown that was right on it. His knee bones were rising upward slowly and the shape of a tight indentation on the side of his sleeping blanket.
Lia's sad voice continued to echo in this space, just like back then.
“... I'm gonna get well, brother, so, please, accompany me! Sister.”
Back then, no one spoke after hearing Lia say so, and no one knew what else to look like. The thing that saved him from this ignorance is that I will answer him. Yes, sister will accompany you here until you recover, my sweet sister Lia.
“Ah, so? It's the same as back then.”
I looked with a little bit of worry. When I woke up, I realized that there was an empty chair beside him.
“Here who served as brother is Aam, so, please my sweet sister, Lia asked me! What don't you know, Lia?”
I said to Lia with a smiling face and a funny tone.
Lia stopped plucking the crown of the flower, looked at me, then gulped her saliva and slightly regulated her breathing. Every now and then he reviewed this room with an unfriendly look and his face was filled with sadness.
My little sister Lia's lips and inexplicably dry it slowly uttered a few words coming out of the cold atmosphere.
“Sister, what in the world is there nothing that cannot be seen from happiness and love, sis? I still can't understand about it.”
After listening to a long enough sentence that came out of his mouth, I was astonished and continued to maintain this frozen state of silence, my sister Lia was like revealing what her heart was.
I will try to think rationally and calmly this time.
But it's all just a collection of imaginations. It has no particular meaning. As soon as I thought about it, I couldn't even remember he said. The echo of his voice in my ears had also disappeared.
Even so, my heart was beating so fast. My chest strangely felt heavy. My whole body is sweating. For a moment, I took a deep breath, and tried to answer it.
“There is something in this world that no one has ever seen, happiness and love. If anyone knew, everyone would want to have it. This world has hidden so well, that it is difficult to obtain it, which is why no one has ever seen it.”
“Hmmm…? So yes.”
Lia slowly turned her gaze away from my face with a blank look, then went to throw her thoughts towards the outside of the window.
“You didn't listen from earlier?”
“Mmmm... I'm not so, ahemmm. While accompanied by brother, just deh.”
Suddenly, Lia said something awkward and silent.
“Hahhh... Don't be so Lia!”
Wait, is that the problem? I thought wondering, and when I regained consciousness, I sat down quietly again. All the events, feelings, views of the future, doubts, and despair were mixed up inside me, and it felt like my heart was about to explode.
Lia and I again complained of breath because they wanted to feel calm. This was why Lia was dissatisfied about my answer, not that I answered her question with the circumstances I was presenting right now.
The wind whispered softly. When I looked back to watch it, behind the window was a collection of clouds and rows of trees that were silent, calm, and completely uninterested in all of this.
