"She's getting weaker and weaker" Mrs. Kurama told Mr. Kurama that morning.

"It's because of Sendoh" Mr. Kurama said. "If she didn't fall in love, she may live longer than expected."

"But I still thank Sendoh for making her happy in the last of her days" Mrs. Kurama said.

"That's true" Mr. Kurama said. "If only she pass me that disease, I've lived my life! I can die already so Anica will have a chance to be with Sendoh"

"Oh, don't say those things" Mrs. Kurama said. "It makes me cry"

After eating breakfast and taking a bath, Sendoh hurriedly checked his email.

She sent it already, Sendoh said to himself.

*Anica's Favorite Songs*

It's full of love songs, he thought.

Sendoh replied to Cori saying:

-Cori,

-Thanks for your help. Can you please call Anica and tell her to meet me in the court tomorrow morning? Thank you. If she says no, try to persuade her and if she still refuses, please call me immediately. Thanks!

-Sendoh.

Cori checked her mail and read the email of Sendoh.

"It's so straight-forward" she said. "It sounds so urgent"

"Hello?" Kenshee answered.

"Hello may I speak with Anica, please"

"Who's this?" Kenshee asked.

"Cori"

"Cori *the traitor*?"

"Take away *the traitor* - that's who I am"

"You have no right to call Anica!"

"Please, let me talk to her.."

"Who's that Kenshee?" Mrs. Kurama asked.

"It's Cori *the traitor*" Kenshee whispered.

"They're friends now, give Anica the phone!" Mrs. Kurama said.

"Oh!" Kenshee said. "I'm sorry Cori, please wait"

"Anica, you have a call!" Kenshee shouted.

"Okay, I'll go down!" Anica shouted.

After a few seconds, Anica went down, pale-faced.

"Hello?" Anica said.

"Hi Anica! It's Cori!"

"Oh, hi Cori! Why'd you call?"

"Sendoh wants to meet you tomorrow morning, at the court"

"Really?"

"You're getting excited, aren't you?"

"You got me there!"

[laughs] "Enjoy tomorrow!"

"Okay, bye!"

"Bye!"

"Why'd she call?" Mr. Kurama asked, when Anica put down the phone.

"Sendoh wants to see me tomorrow"

"Oh, so he's for real" her dad said.

"Pa, stop it!!!"

"You're blushing!"

[laughs] "Pa, stop it!" Anica said, walking out of the living room.

"Have fun tomorrow!"

The following day, a school day, Sendoh woke up early to go to the Baksetball court. He was, for the first time, 1st to arrive there.

Maybe she isn't coming, Sendoh thought after 5 mins. of waiting.

He started practicing and a voice behind him said: "Why'd you want me to go here?"

Sendoh turned around to see Anica, not in rubber shoes but in sandals.

"Looks like you're not going to play" Sendoh said.

"Yeah, I'm not! So, why?"

"I just want to tell you that I'm still here, I'm not going to leave you"

"I can see that"

"But there's another thing, I want to know more about you, may I treat you to a cup of coffee?"

"But you have school today"

"Oh, that's okay! A day of absence won't hurt me!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah! 100 percent!"

@--,--___--,--@

"So, uhh.. How do we start this?" Sendoh asked Anica when they got their seats.

"Well, it depends, what do you want to know?" Anica said.

"When did you know you had cancer?" Sendoh asked.

"2 years ago, I visited my doctor for my monthly check-up, and on that day, the doctor told me I had 2 years to live"

"What did your parents tell you?"

"They told me not to go out so I won't associate with anyone so my death won't be painful for other people, only to them"

"But.. How come you go to the Basketball court everyday?"

"Kenshee suggested to my parents that I also need fresh air and no one will see me at 5-7 in the morning at the Basketball court"

"What did your parents tell you when you introduced me to them?"

"They were shocked and disappointed at the same time"

"Why disappointed?"

"Because I didn't keep my promise and made friends"

"But that's not wrong!"

"Yeah, now they know that meeting you is not wrong"

Their coffee's finally arrived and they kept quiet for a few seconds.

"I hope you won't get offended or anything" Sendoh said. "How many days do you have?"

"Several, I'm really tired and I'm getting weaker and weaker everyday"

"I'll take you home now"

"Okay, Thanks!"

"So, how'd your date go?" Cori asked, when Sendoh called her.

"Fine, Nice, not out of the ordinary" Sendoh said.

"So, why did you call?"

"I need some help"

"Help on what?"

"To make the sweetest thing for Anica"

"Oh.. Is that all?"

"Yeah!!!"

"Don't worry! Let the b*tch handle everything!"
