CHAPTER 10
*3 Days Later*
Hiro's POV
I opened my brown eyes, the first thing I saw is the hospital ceiling. I turned my head to the right to see Aunt Cass was still sleeping beside me in sit position.
"Ow" I moaned because suddenly I felt a little pain on my chest when I tried to sit.
"Hiro?" Aunt Cass awoke.
"Aunt Cass" I replied and tried to sit again.
"No, no, no… don't too much move. Dr. Hemsworth said you need a rest for a while until your wounds have no pain" Aunt Cass prevented me.
"O-okay…" I decided to obey her. "So where are the others?" I asked.
"They're at home" Aunt Cass replied.
"Including (Y/N)? Is (Y/N) alright?" I asked her again.
"I don't know about (Y/N) I haven't saw her these days" she replied. "But you can text her if you want to know about her condition" she handed my phone to me.
"Alright then, thanks Aunt Cass" I smiled widely.
"You're welcome sweetie" Aunt Cass ruffles my hair. "Okay, I'll call Dr. Hemsworth to check your currently condition, don't too much move, okay?" she said as she arrived on the door.
"Okay" I replied then I opened my phone as Aunt Cass left the room. I began to send message to (Y/N). I hope she is alright after the incident several days ago.

I smiled as I finished sending the last message. Yeah, although she wasn't here at least I know that she was alright.
"Texting with girlfriend, eh?" I heard a voice of man spoke up.
I turned my head to see who he is, "Dr. Hemsworth" I said after reading his name tag. "I'm sorry, I didn't notice that you were in there" I put my phone on the table near the bed.
"It's okay, I recently came here, how are you feeling now?" He came approached me.
"Just… little pain in my chest, maybe it was an effect of my wound " I replied and smiled. Turns out, he was kind.
"Okay, I'll check your health now" I saw he took out his stethoscope and did what he said.
"How was his condition, Dr. Hemsworth?" I heard Aunt Cass spoke while closing the door.
"The cure is working well, his stitches maybe will be dry in a few hours and he can go home if the pain disappear" Dr. Hemsworth replied.
"Wait, stitches?" I frowned as I heard his answer.
"Yes, stitches. We just did a heart operation for you yesterday. Because of that bullet you had a serious wound in your heart until your heart has to be replaced by another heart. But don't worry, someone had donate a heart for you and the operation is success" the doctor explained.
I thought of something, who had donate his/her heart for me? I should be really thanked to him/her. "Who has do it for me?" Finally I asked to that long blonde haired doctor.
Aunt Cass and Dr. Hemsworth turned their heads each other, like hiding something from me, what makes them difficult to tell it to me? Is he/she is one of my friends?.
"You'll know it soon, Hiro" suddenly Aunt Cass spoke up.
"She's right. You'd better to wait until your body recovered" Dr. Hemsworth added.
*4 Days Later*
My life like has no one except for me, it was so lonely without (Y/N) here. Although I kept texting with her, but I felt there's something different. She bit changed, she always reject my phone call, the reason is same, she don't want her uncle know that there's a phone call. Why? What happened? I bit don't believe her excuses but, yeah… what could I do if it was right?
While standing, I stared the melted snow that staying on the ground from the café window. I just heard from TV news that this snowy winter this year will be replaced by rain again because the temperature in the air is always rising and make the snows melted in the air.
"Hiro" some people called me. Turns out, they're my friends, Aunt Cass and Dr. Hemsworth.
"Um, guys… why are you wearing funeral clothes?" I'm confused as I saw what they wore.
"Replace your clothes, we'll invite you to come to a funeral" Gogo replied.
"Who's dead?" I asked.
"It was one of SFIT students, and she was also my patient" Dr. Hemsworth replied.
"But, did I know her?" I asked again.
"Hmm.. maybe, because all of SFIT Students are come to her funeral" Wasabi replied.
"O-okay" instantly I walked upstairs to replace my clothes. An idea popped up in my brain as I opened my wardrobe. I took my phone to do my idea.
Me
Hi (Y/N)! Whatcha doin' now?
Today, 10.00 AM
(Y/N)
Oh, Hi Hiro! As usual, I help my uncle's employees on his laundry. What makes you texted me? Is there any problem?
Today, 10.02 AM
Me
No, no problem I just want to ask u. Have u heard about one of SFIT Students that dies today?
Today, 10.04 AM
(Y/N)
What? There was a person died? Who's it?
Today, 10.06 AM
Me
I dunno my friends didn't tell her name. But yeah I will know it if I arrived on there
Today, 10.08 AM
(Y/N)
You said 'her' ? It has to be female. So, u will come to her funeral now?
Today, 10.10 AM
Me
Yes. Wasabi said that all of SFIT students are coming to there..
Today, 10.11 AM
(Y/N)
Ouh, I hope I can come. Please say to her family that "I'm sorry for her death".
Today, 10.13 AM
Me
Okay, I will
Today, 10.14 AM
(Y/N)
Thanks!
Today, 10.15 AM
Me
Anytime, sweetheart. Alright then, I have to go now. I'll text you again later. Bye!
Today, 10.17 AM
(Y/N)
Bye!
Today, 10.18 AM
"Hey there! Until when you will stay in your bedroom?" I heard Gogo shouted from downstairs.
"Uh, sorry. Wait a second" As I finished replacing my clothes, I put my phone on my bed and quickly ran downstairs.
After passing a few minutes of journey. We arrived in the funeral home. Turns out, Wasabi was right so many SFIT students and lecturers came to this place, and there also Mr. Daniel. They glanced at me in tears as I stepped into this building as if they wanna say something that they can't say before I see the one who died by myself.
Slowly, I let my feet to approach the coffin in there to see who was died now. Then my eyes caught a photo above the coffin. Photo of a familiar one. To my surprise it was photo of…
"(Y/N)" I murmured and instantly ran closer to the coffin. Without hesitation, I removed the transparent cloth that covered the coffin and see the one who laid in it. "It couldn't be…" Oh my God, I can't believe this..
Is this a nightmare?
Or
Are they pranking me with this thing?
You know, I just texted with her earlier. But… why was suddenly she died? Unbelievable.
Seriously, is this a nightmare?
My tears started to rolling in my cheeks as I touch her face. There was no mistaking, it's really (Y/N). I took her cold hand and checked her artery. No... This is impossible. This is really fucking IMPOSSIBLE. Why was her artery doesn't working?
"(Y/N), wake up (Y/N)! Wake up! Please… don't leave me" I shook her lifeless body.
"You shouldn't have do it, Hiro. She was dead" I heard Honey Lemon spoke up while holding my shoulder.
Instantly I stood up and faced her. "Tell me why suddenly she's dead? Did that fucking Robert D kill her?! Or are you guys pranking me now?!" I shouted until my voice echoed filling the room.
"No, but she died because she had donate her heart for you" she shook her head.
"What?" I gasped in disbelief. "Honey, I wasn't kidding now" I continued.
"So am I" she replied.
"Then, why were you guys didn't tell me about this?! Why were you guys let her to donate her heart for me?! Why don't you find anyone else who would donate his/her heart for me? Why it should be (Y/N)?! Why?! Did anyone can answer?!" I erupted my emotion with my yelling questions. How cruel they are.
With anger I instantly faced Dr. Hemsworth that standing not far from the coffin and clutched his collar. "Dr. Hemsworth, did you demand (Y/N) to donate her heart for me, huh?!".
Suddenly my body pushed by Gogo. "Hiro, what the hell are you doing?! You should've thanked to (Y/N) and Dr. Hemsworth, without them you will not alive until now!" she said.
"No, Gogo. You don't understand!" I snapped to her.
"Hiro, hold your emotion. What will (Y/N) say if she saw you're shouting angrily like a lunatic on her funeral?" Wasabi hold my shoulders— tried to calm me, but I took his hand from my shoulder.
"Hiro, let me tell you (Y/N)'s words before she donates her heart" I heard Honey Lemon spoke.
- Flashback -
Honey Lemon's POV
"Doctor, I know who deserve to do that…"(Y/N) said.
"Who?" Fred asked.
"Me"(Y/N) said.
"What?!" everyone gasped.
"No, (Y/N). You have to stay alive. Let one of us that donate our heart for Hiro. If you did this, Hiro's efforts to protect you will be dropped in vain" I told her.
"No, Honey. I don't want Hiro died and I don't want one of you do this. Maybe this is the best way for me. I don't want to see more fucking people like Robert D that chasing behind me. I had enough to deal with my misery life. I better to sacrifice myself to keep the person I loved alive as what my family did for me. With it, I can meet my family in a better place and there will no fear, sadness and misery anymore in my life after I donated my heart for him. Please… let me do this. Don't worry about Hiro, he will be fine, and I'll never leave him because I will always being his heart that is always accompanying him every second" (Y/N) said, she looked like spilling her words from bottom of her heart.
No words came out of my mouth. Maybe if I was on her position, I'll do the same thing with her. Oh, God… how kind she was.
"But, what if Hiro's asking about you?" Wasabi asked.
"Tell him to text me and one of you can pretend as me" (Y/N) replied. "Please, don't tell Hiro about this before he recovered, I don't want he gets heart failure after operation" she continued.
"Of course, (Y/N). We will" then, I hugged her. Let my tears soaked her (H/C) hair. "You're so kind, (Y/N). Hiro must be so proud to had a girlfriend like you, he surely will always remember your kindness. And please (Y/N)… don't forget us" I continued my words.
"She's right, please don't forget us" in tears, Gogo joined into embrace.
Shortly, Wasabi and Fred also joined into the hug. "Be happy in there (Y/N). I wish you find a better place" Wasabi said.
"Yeah, I got nothing to say but in the point, please don't forget us" Fred added.
"Of course I will, guys" (Y/N) replied.
Then, we let go of her.
"So, doctor… shall we start the operation now?" (Y/N) asked to Dr. Hemsworth.
"If it is the best way… I can't do anything. We shall" Dr. Hemsworth replied.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Hemsworth" suddenly (Y/N) hugged him.
*Before Operation*
Your POV
I stood seeing Hiro that lying on the bed, in closed eyes and in state of low heartbeat. Honestly, I can't stand to see him like this. He shouldn't have got this.
"Hiro, maybe this is the last time I saw you. I don't want to see more good person to make a sacrifice to protect me. I don't want you die, Hiro. I want you stay alive. Please, keep your life for me" I whispered to his ear. Then, I kissed his forehead for the last time and let my last tear dropped on his cheek.
"I love you, Hiro" I whispered to his ear for the last time before Dr. Hemsworth tell me to lie on the bed to do the heart operation.
"Sayonara, Hiro" I said my last words before the darkness came out filling my vision.
- Present Day -
Hiro's POV
I hung my head in tears as Honey Lemon finished telling about (Y/N)'s acts and words before she donates her heart for me.
How foolish I am…
Gogo was right, I should've thanked to (Y/N) for her kindness. Afterwards, I approached (Y/N)'s coffin again. Knelt while taking her hand. "Thank you so much, sweetheart. I'll never forget your kindness and I will keep my promise to keep my life for you" I kissed her cold hand and then kissed her forehead for the last time as I finished my sentence. Then, I stood. "We'd better to quicken her funeral" I suggested.
The rain came along when some people buried (Y/N)'s coffin to the earth. I can't do anything. I can't say anything. Just stared the pieces of the ground that slowly burying her. I feel I was failed to protect her. I feel I was such a bad boyfriend for her. But… I shouldn't have blamed myself or blame her.
She was right, at least her sacrifice can bring her into the happiness on the heaven with her family. At least her sacrifice can throw away her fear, her sadness and her misery. And at least her sacrifice will not make more good person died because of sacrifice.
Yes, I'm so proud of her, she was so kind. She was a perfect girl for me.
When the ground completely covered her coffin, I crouched down while holding her tombstone, I stared her name on it. "You're so kind to me, (Y/N). I hope I can pay your kindness. I hope you find a better place in there, (Y/N). Thanks for your sacrifice, thanks for being my perfect girlfriend, thanks for everything, (Y/N). I'll keep your heart on my chest… and I swear I'll keep my life for you" I kissed her tombstone, and smiled while wiping my tears.
Afterwards, I decided to leave her grave and let her sleeps in there quietly and peacefully.
And again…. (Y/N)… I love you, I swear I'll keep my life for you…
