Chapter 3
I sigh and went outside. "Len….." I looked down and whispered to myself, "If i can't make enough money…..will you still love me as you did before?" Then Len came from behind me and hugged me tightly. "But of course i would Rin. Didn't i promise i'll love you…" I blushed. "Len…." "Rin…you have not eaten yet…have you?" I look over to him and he was starring blankly to the floor. "I-i have…" "Rin! Don't lie to me…please…" Len put his face on my shoulder and i felt silent tears hit it. One by one. The felt…warm…and sad.. "Len…i don't want you to worry about me. I don't need it! I don't care on what happened to me! I just want you to be happy and well." Len shot up, "I'm always happy when i'm with you! And i don't want to lose you! Please Rin…." I smiled and hugged him and nodded and carried him back to bed and tucked him in. He was sleeping peacefully. I stood up and went to my weaving room and started to weave. At the end of the night i made seven blankets. I was tired. I haven't slept ever since Len has fallen ill…. "Rin?" I heard a soft voice enter the room. I look up. It was Len. His face was pale and full of worry. He came and kneeled down to me and he put my head on his shoulder and stroked my hair. "Rin…." I don't want to fall asleep. I can't… "Rin…What were you doing? You didn't come back to bed. Please don't tell me you were up to all night…" I stayed silent. I don't want him to worry. "Rin, answer me!" Len hugged me tightly. He was cold. He was like ice. I started to cry. I couldn't lose Len. I….No. Please god….don't take his life alway from me.. "Rin? What's wrong? Your crying.." "I don't want to lose you!" I hugged him tightly. He smiled and wiped my tears alway and kissed my forehead. "You won't okay? I won't let you be alone ever again. I promise." I nodded. The Len started to cough into his sleeve. I starred at him. He coughed again. And again. And again. The last cough made me cry. He coughed up blood. "R-Rin…don't worry…" I helped him in bed and picked up my blankets and went to town to sell them. After i sold them i bought medicine and ran back home and prepared it. I was still crying. I was scared. I don't want to lose Len… No…please…Tears came down and i started to wipe them. After that, the medicine was already finished. I went to Len and gave it to him. He hates taking medicine. I had to force him. After he fell asleep, i go to my regular work. I started to weave. And as i was weaving my mind trailed off. Just then i cut my hand and it was a large scar. Blood came pouring out. I starred at it and look over to Len to see if he was still sleeping. "Bandages…" I got up and went to the kitchen and fixed my hand. I sighed. "I should't show Len….He will worry more…"
