There was a boy who really love a girl. The boy was very silent or rather secretive about his feelings for the girl. He wanted to do all the possible means of getting to know the girl more but there seems to be an urge that always stopped him from doing so.
He once gave a gift to the girl. The girl accepted it but did not open it. He also tried speaking with her but the girl was not interested at all.
The boy sometimes thought that his acts were not working at all. Even school works did not give the boy any opportunity to do things which will make the girl realize that she was liked.
The only way the two communicated was through online messaging. The boy appeared as if someone's blocking his fingers from tapping the letters "I' "L' "O" "V" "E" "Y" "O" "U" in the keyboard. Even such blockage exists, the boy was still happy thinking the fact that the girl she liked ever since was communicating with her.
Days and month passed, the two communicated silently. No other feelings aroused from the boy aside from love. On the girl's part, nothing was felt at all. It seems the girl is not aware, for a very long time, that the boy, to whom she was chatting with, liked her so much.
It was when the boy found out that he has a brain tumor. The doctor told his parents that his life was at its limit. The boy was hospitalized for the hope of his sickness to be cured, unfortunately, there were no improvements at all. Neither a chance of life extension.
The whole class, as well as the girl, received the news and decided to visit the boy in the hospital. They did not know that their classmate was just holding his death and expecting for the girl to come.
All of them came. One by one, they talked with the boy. The boy, pale, unable to move and has difficulty in speaking, was very happy at that very moment. When it was the girl's turn to, tears trickled down his cheeks. The girl cried when he saw the boy.
"I have a lot of things to say." The boy said. Ore tears fell from his eyes. "I'm going to say it online if it's okay with you? Let's chat tonight or I'll just leave you a message."
The girl was still crying. She could not say or utter any word because of her sympathy for the boy until she ran outside the door. She could not resist seeing the boy's bodily appearance.
Inside, the boy stared at nothingness, as if he's rejected. But suddenly, he smiled. The widest smile he had ever done.
The visitation continued and ended with a big sigh. Unexpectedly, the boy died that night. The family mourned for the boy's death.
The girl prayed all night for the improvement of the boy's health. She didn't know that the boy is already dead. She slept with tears in her eyes and the boy inside his mind.
The next day, early in the morning, the girl checked her e-mail. There was a message. She opened the message. The message was:
"I love you Akira. I should have confessed that to you when I first felt this. I'm sorry."
It was from Tadashi.
