Meet Romeo (epilogue)
Juliet of Julya lil late but oh well...this is rushed version...it was supposed to be longer but guess what....? a y ending~ yay~
"Juliet wanted you to have this, and also, the red cardigan you're wearing. The rest, she wanted to donate to be used for patients sneaking out from hospital." The nurse smiled and handed the colourful knitted beanie that always worn by July like a princess' crown, the glands and veins in her eyes probably holding all the tears from dripping out. Because Juliet wouldn't like it, said July.
I couldn't believe the last I had seen her was...why didn't I stay with her? It's all because of him. That bastard.
"She also left you this letter."
Tremblingly, I reached out to accept it, and held the envelope close to my heart.
"Are you ready to leave?" He tapped on my shoulder and smiled.
I nodded, without standing up from the bench at the hospital compound. He joined next to me instead, not saying a word.
"I think I'll miss her a lot." I stared down at the letter in my hands.
"You can always visit her here."
"Well, that won't be easy, unless I get sick or get myself into accidents often."
"On a second thought, maybe you can visit her in your dreams."
I laughed lightly and shook my head.
"Let's go." I stood up. "Oh, by the way...Jerry ssi...about the wedding...so, uhm, who are you going with?"
"I thought I asked you the other day, did you still not recover and lost your memory again?"
"No, just checking in case you've found someone else to go with."
"Does that mean it's a yes?"
I thought to myself of Juliet, still smiling brightly, pursuing her Romeo, wishing she had found him, wishing she wouldn't be lonely there at this time, wishing she's thinking of me too, wishing we could both be happy in our own little fairy tales so called. Even if i'm still yet to find my own tale, since I can't be a Cinderella no more without my Fairy Godmother even if Prince Charming is just right next to me. It's still surreal how quickly everything happened and ended. Life is so short and relationships between human, so temporary. But the memories and attachments could linger on for a lifetime.
"Yeah." I nodded with a smile.
