The Wedding
36. Finding You's
(Flashback )
Tony ran slowly down the hospital hallway. He stopped his steps in front of the VIP room occupied by Cora. With a breath of breath he stood right in front of the white door. After getting word from Cora's father, Tony drove his car straight to the hospital. Cora, who had been in a coma for six months, suddenly woke up from her coma. The news made Tony happy and wanted to see the woman he loved immediately.
"Our prayers have been answered. . ." Charista said sobbing, "We are still entrusted by God to take care of you. Mama's worried about you so much, baby, and Tony's never stopped seeing you in this hospital, he's been by your side for six months." Charista hugged his daughter tightly, stroking Cora's head.
"Who's Tony?" Cora frowned Charista released her embrace and looked at Cora questioningly. The woman's words stopped Tony's steps, he stood glued to the door of the hospital and he looked down at the woman's face through the opening of the door slightly open.
"What do you mean Cora? you don't know Tony, Anthony eul Collin?" Charley looked at the astonished daughter who had forgotten her fiance.
"Is he my friend? do I know anyone named Anthony eul Collin?" cora's words were like a knife piercing Tony's heart. He felt a tremendous pain in his heart at this moment, he looked sadly at Cora's bewildered face upon hearing her name. The face of the woman who seemed to think hard when she heard his name and all that makes Tony's heart sore. The woman had forgotten him.
"My head hurts, ma" Cora massaged her head, "Cora doesn't know that Anthony, Cora wants to sleep." Cora spread out her body, she felt a tremendous pain upon hearing that name. Both his heart and head became so sick, a pain that he could not understand the reason.
Tony smiled as he listened to the words of the woman. The woman was so close, but felt so far away. The woman's name was always in her prayers, but she could not remember her name. The woman was always in his heart and mind, but he did not know why she could just forget about him.
Cora's father, who saw Tony's presence, began to walk toward the man. Charley tightly closed the door beside them and patted Tony's shoulder quietly. "He forgot about you Tony, maybe that's best for you. Papa please stay away from Cora, she's better off without you Tony. Papa doesn't want him to remember past events that would have hurt him. If you love Cora, you'd want to see her happy, wouldn't you?" Charley stared at Tony intensely.
Tony could not say anything, he knew that all this time he had always made Cora hurt, maybe Cora hoped to forget about it and now the woman had completely forgotten about it.
"Cora needs time. . If you were meant to be together, she would come back to you, but now is not the time. Papa please listen to this papa request. . ." Charley said softly. Tony smiled softly and nodded his head slowly. He looked at the door beside him that had been tightly closed with a sad look, then he walked away from Charley.
Leave everything to destiny? Can he hope fate will reunite them? Isn't destiny cruel. Fate treated him unfairly. How that cruel fate could reunite them, what if he wanted to fight the will of fate and reclaim the only woman he wanted.

Tony laid his body on a sofa in his room. He stared blankly at the ceiling of his room. The room felt so quiet without the presence of the woman and all her life felt so quiet like the room she was in.
Tony massaged his temple, already for a week he could not close his eyes. As he wanted to close his eyes, he remembered Cora's face that looked so hurt. His heart felt so tight and sore when he remembered the woman, the woman who had never disappeared from his heart or mind.
The woman he let go of left him, the woman he let go of by his side. Although deep in his heart he did not want to lose Cora a second time, but he could not act selfishly. Cora's happiness is her biggest dream, if her love only hurts her woman, it's better she chooses to give in and let her own feelings hurt. Life without Cora was the same as death, her body was still alive, but not with her heart. The woman had taken her heart away along with the woman's departure.
"Tony, get you out!!" Charley shouted in front of his daughter-in-law's room, Tony who heard her father-in-law's voice quickly opened the door to his room.
"Nrank. . ."
Charley released a fist right into Tony's face, Tony grimacing in pain as he received a blow from his father-in-law. He looked at the astonishment of his two in-laws who were currently standing before him.
"What are you doing Cora? you betrayed our trust. . We gave you a second chance to make Cora happy, not hurt her. Where's Cora?" Charley yelled at Tony, Tony was surprised to hear the question from his father-in-law.
"We have pa. . . while we sit down to speak. Maybe Tony's son can explain something to us." Charista clasped her husband's arm tightly, Tony came out of the room and led her in-laws to sit on a sofa not far from her room.
The three of them sat and looked at each other, silence trapping the three before Charista handed Tony a piece of paper. "This is a letter from Cora, this letter just arrived this morning. You got any explanations?" Tony took the paper out of Charista's hands. She read the letter Cora sent to her parents.

Dear mom and dad, dear,
Maafin Cora yes ma.pa...
Cora can't say goodbye to mom and dad, Cora has to go somewhere. Cora wanted to find the meaning of life there. Please don't worry about Cora, don't look for Cora. Cora please trust Cora, believe that if your daughter is always happy there later, Cora will always smile happily. Cora promises that one day if Cora finds the meaning of life and Cora is ready to return, Cora will come back to you. Please don't blame Tony for Cora's departure, Cora's departure has nothing to do with Tony. Perhaps he also did not know of Cora's departure. Cora left Tony because Cora loved him so much. Love you both. May your mom and dad always be in good health until we meet again.
From: Your daughter
