Heart Heart Heart
Can't!
With only his second passport and registered directly to the Registry Of Marriages Singapore, finally Vincent and the Princess married. If all this time a marriage is filled with happiness, but not with these two brides who have pledged their sacred vows together.
There is no wedding dress, just a simple white dress. Without a reception, let alone a magnificent party like his dreams. Just sign on a white paper in the civil record because their intention is only to get a marriage certificate.
"Thank you... You granted my last wish, though I knew you had to," said Vincent inwardly, looking at his beautiful bride today.
"In the end, I did choose you to have me. Because this is all I can do for you, my heart has returned to her." - The princess also when her eyes meet the sad gaze of Vincent that leads to her.

On the way to the hotel where they were staying, Vincent was more silent. He just kept looking at his wife's face, as if he was afraid to forget that beautiful face again.
Even at the hotel, Vincent occasionally showed off his handsome smile to everyone who greeted him while they and their families enjoyed dinner together, but not the happiness that the Princess caught, it's like some lara Vincent's trying to hide.
Vincent approached the Princess who was still sitting enjoying his dinner, whereas Vincent himself had only a few mouthfuls of eating his dinner. Vincent smiled softly at the woman who was already his rightful wife, then hugged her from behind.
Long enough he hugged her, making the Princess can feel the hand of Vincent embracing her trembling. "Thank you... Ilove you... Loves you... I beg you, forgive me for all this time." he said with a trembling voice holding back his cries, then kissed the head of his old wife so gently.
Then, without saying anything more, Vincent passed leaving the Princess pecking with her tears. "Why do I feel this scared when I see you like this? What is this fear?" the Inner Word of the Princess.
Until dinner ends, Vincent does not appear again, making the Princess more infested with fear. The princess also tried to find Vincent in their room, it turns out that her husband was sleeping peacefully.
Long time ago, the Princess noticed the handsome face that had ruled her heart. I don't know why, his heart hurts. He shouldn't have given his heart back to Kei. Supposedly, he stayed waiting for him. Supposedly, this marriage makes them happy because this is what they dreamed so far, but still his heart feels sore.
The longer, the Princess watched the face, the more she realized her face was too calm to be said to be asleep, even Vincent did not respond at all when the Princess tried to wake her up.
"But! Brother!" call the Princess repeatedly while patting Vincent's cheek gently, also shaking his shoulder, but still no response. "Abang! Awake, Bang!" call the Princess who began to panic and cry, she was getting scared, afraid of losing this man who had become her husband.
The princess checked Vincent's body. Vincent is still breathing and his heartbeat can still be heard when he puts his ear on Vincent's chest. The princess grabbed Vincent's hand to check his heart rate, but he gasped when he touched her hand, cold!
The princess was getting scared, her hands were shaking, "Please, get up.." she said, kissing the hand, even the back of Vincent's hand was wet with the Princess' tears.
"Wake, Bang! Open your eyes brother! I said, open it!" said the Princess loudly. Truly, now the Princess was really afraid that those eyes would not open again. The princess panicked even more, running out to call out anyone she could find. "Hurry now! I don't want anything to happen to her. I won't allow it!" the princess started to hysterically scream.

It's been an hour, Vincent was rushed to the hospital, but there's no sign he'll wake up. The princess sat down waiting outside the ICU because no one was allowed to enter but doctors and nurses.
Madame Adhitama came to give a paper bag to the Princess. "Change your clothes first! Let mom and dad wait here" he said. With a heavy heart, the Princess left the room.
On the other hand, in the ICU room, where Vincent was being treated, without anyone knowing, he opened his eyes slowly, silently glued to the ceiling of the room. Every now and then, he blinked his eyes while looking around the room that seemed familiar to him.
A moment later, Vincent closed his eyes again, then inhaled in the antiseptic scent that filled this room. With a quivering and raucous voice, he tried to speak, "Will that be... naughty rabbit?" lirih.
Silent! There is no lawfulness. Only the sound of heartbeats could be heard twitching each other. In addition to Vincent's heartbeat, which also filled the room, there were other heartbeats.
A weak sound from the monitor that was behind the closed dividing curtain, signifying that there were other patients there. Kei Alexis Dexter, the patient who had occupied the room first.
"I know you heard me." said Vincent. Again, Vincent tried to get his voice out, although it was very difficult. Vincent removed the oxygen mask that covered his mouth, "Bother!" thought.
"Did you know.today." said Vincent paused to take a deep breath, "i'm very happy, '" he continued. Vincent smiled with paled lips, "I... Kei.." he said with a breath that began to feel heavy.
Every now and then, Vincent smokes his dry lips. With great difficulty, he swallowed his saliva, "Sorry.I did not invite you.." he said again, chuckling as he adjusted his short breath.
"If you see it.." continued Vincent, smiling again, though no one saw it, "beautiful!" she closed her eyes with tears flowing at the end of her eyes.
"Daughter.. is very beautiful.with her white dress.." - shrieked Vincent in an increasingly almost inaudible voice. Vincent began to cry sobbing, feeling a tightness in his chest and a pain that began to strike back at his head.
Long enough no sound was heard, only a sigh of Vincent was heard occasionally. He covered his lips with his eyes closed, his hands clenched withstanding the agonizing pain.
With his breathing beginning to falter, Vincent again continued his conversation with his sidekick, "I. have kept my promise... I... remain...love him..until the end...."
Tiiit...! A few seconds later, an alarm sounded in the room, sending doctors and nurses running in.
Not long after, the Princess who had just come out of the bathroom at the end of the hallway, her steps came to a halt when she caught the panic of the nurses, then he ran with the nurse who passed in front of him when he realized that the purpose of the nurses was the ICU room.
But not yet there, the Princess' body is held by Arjuna. From a distance, the Princess saw her father and her mother who hugged each other crying together, making her tears spill.
The Princess' heart rate is getting out of control. "Take care of him, Put.." said Arjuna, crying, but the Princess would not hear him.
The Princess was increasingly in Arjuna's arms, when she saw the nurses who hurriedly pushed a gurney out of the room and the Princess ran after her.
The princess ran as fast as she could, no matter how many people she hit while going through it, "No! This is not true! That's not a brother! Tell me you're okay!" he said in his heart without a sound, only his tears flowing profusely refused to accept the reality, but the closer he got to the gurney, the clearer the face of Vincent who was already deathly pale.
Until the Princess' hand reached the end of the gurney, "Wait!" said gasping. "I'm sorry, but we have to have surgery on both of these patients as soon as possible" replied the nurse who pulled the gurney.
"What's? The operation? My husband's alive, isn't he?" the princess asked confusedly as she tightly grasped the nurse's hand. There was a glimmer of hope in his heart that Vincent was still alive. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but your husband just died." replied the nurse again crushed the Princess's hopes.
The princess let go of her hand and stepped back, "No! This must be a dream... He could not have died." - He watered with tears constantly flowing.
"We're very sorry, but we have to get your husband to the operating room right away because your husband donated his heart to a patient named Kei Alexis Dexter," the nurse said it was like a bolt of lightning in the Princess' ear, before the nurse pushed the gurney back.
Once again, the Princess rounded her eyes in disbelief as she looked at the other gurney passing in front of her. His body was completely hollowed out looking at Kei who was lying weakly on top of the gurney.
Madame Adhitama who saw it, ran to hug the Princess. The princess was crying hysterically in the arms of her father. The three of them were both crying over the departure of their loved ones, until the Princess fainted in their arms.
...Why is fate so cruel toying with me?...
...When I was a kid, fate took both my parents for good....
...When I was with Vincent, it was fate that made him forget me....
...But, when I decided to go back to Kei, fate separated me....
...And now, when I chose Vincent, fate took him back from me forever....

"Abang, I'm coming." said the Princess as she placed a bunch of flowers on a tombstone. The princess looked at the tombstone bearing her husband's name "Vincent Adhitama".
The princess sighed before starting to speak, "What's there, happy brother? Brother definitely does not feel pain anymore," he said as he began sobbing. "Abang is really evil! Not a day my brother married me, my brother made me a widow" she said, chuckling, as if she was joking with him.
However, behind her laughter, the Princess could not hold back her tears anymore. He cried in the tomb alone. Especially when he remembered the letter he found this morning on Vincent's desk.

...When you were with Kei, then I understood that I was really in love with you. I was so devastated to see you married, but I kept it in my heart because I didn't want to take you away from my best friend....
...I want you to choose me yourself. Therefore, when Kei leaves, I start to approach you. I'm so happy when you accept my feelings, even if it takes a long time to convince you....
...Honey, you know, my heart hurts so much when my memory comes back because I also remember well how I hurt you....
...Pardon me......
...I'm sorry I forgot about you. Maybe it's the punishment for me that always makes you cry at the time....
...I was really devastated when I found out my life was soon, when I just remembered you. There's still so much I haven't done with you....

...Pardon me......
...Pardon me......
...Pardon me......
...I know how much I apologize to you, it's useless because it's too late, but really, please forgive me.......
...I want to ask you one last thing, marry Kei....
...Come back to him because you should be together....
...I know how Kei loves you, maybe even more than I love you....
...From the beginning, he was the one who deserved you....
...And sorry......
...I secretly donated my heart to her, without telling you in advance because that is all I can give you....
...I know with this heart, I still can't survive, but with this heart, I can keep you together, make you happy from here....
...Pardon me......
...If this letter isn't romantic because it's the first letter I've written to a woman and you're the only woman who's ever received a letter from me....

...I love you, my wife....
...Really, really, really love you....
...Always be happy, but don't forget me....
...You know, I would never allow it because even if my body was rotting and breaking, but trust me, my love and heart will always live for you....
...Goodbye, my love......
...From your handsome brother and your stupid alien lover who always loved you....
...Vincent....
