AUTHOR'S NOTE: Finally, at long last. I've finished the whole story of The
Time Is Short. Here's the Epilogue 2 HoPe YoU'll eNjOy IT!!!
Makino POV:
After Sakurako's death, I was lucky enough to have found a donor. Even though I'm still alive, deep in my heart I knew that Doumyoji and I have to an end.
'Makino,' Doumyoji called out to me, ' I've come to fetch you home. Let's go' He took my luggage and we left the hospital. 'Makino,' he said while he was driving, 'I know a lot had happened recently but I just want to ask you if you could always stay by my side.'
'I'm sorry Doumyoji, I can't,' I replied and I looked away. Tears slowly flowed down my cheeks. I wanted to tell Doumyoji that I love him. With all my heart, I love him, I wanted to stay by his side, share all his woes and happiness. I WANTED TO. But I knew this will never happen. As long as I have my conscious, I would never be with Doumyoji.
Night soon came and I laid on my bed crying. I'm crying because a part of me missed Sakurako very much and a part of me is unwilling to give Doumyoji up. 'Why am I so unlucky?' I wailed. 'Why can't I be with Doumyoji? Why must Sakurako die?' After much crying, I fell asleep.
'Makino,' a voice called out to me, 'Makino' My eyes opened. Standing beside my bed was Sakurako!
'Sakurako, you are alive,' I said as I wept tears of joy. Sakurako smiled.
'I wished I'm alive but I'm not,' she said to me tenderly. 'Oh Makino, I'm so sorry that I've wronged you. After I died, I knew that I was wrong. You've never betrayed me. The light that shine around proves that you were sincere in being my friend. Makino, please forgive.'
'Sakurako, you did nothing wrong. If only I pushed Doumyoji away when he tried to hug me, all this would not happened. It was my fault.'
'No darling. It was my fault. I knew long ago that you love Doumyoji but instead of giving him up to you, I made use of you to get him closer to me. I was the evil one. Makino please, give me a chance to redeem my mistakes.'
'Sakurako, you are my friend and no matter what you have done wrong, I'll forgive you. You don't have to do anything.'
'Yes, I have to Makino. It's time for me to do a good deed. Makino, please be with Doumyoji..'
'I can't Sakurako. My conscious doesn't allow me to.'
'Where does your conscious lies?' Sakurako asked.
'It lies in my heart,' I answered.
'Makino, maybe you don't know about, but I was the donor who gave you the heart.'
'It can't be. I mean it's impossible.'
'It sounds impossible but it's the truth. When I committed suicide, all my organs in my body except my heart were all smashed up. This heart was then given to you. So I'm your heart, your conscious, and I allow you to be with Doumyoji.'
'It. it can't be.'
'Please be with Doumyoji and fulfil my last wish. please. pleas. plea.' Sakurako's voice trailed off.
I woke up. What a strange dream I had. I guess I've been thinking of Sakurako too much. I got out of bed and I saw the strangest thing that was beside my slippers. The friendship band that I gave Sakurako half a year ago. It was supposedly buried underground with Sakurako. This means that Sakurako was really here! 'Sakurako,' I muttered under my breath, 'I'll be with Doumyoji and fulfil your last wish.'
