Flora and Aisha were sitting in Flora's bedroom eating noodles. Flora had on a white blouse with a pink booty shorts while Aisha had on a purple booty shorts with a white blouse.
"Yes! This smells good." Aisha mentioned, looking at her food.
Flora ate some of her food before commenting. "I can never make it this good."
"You were never a good cook to begin with." Aisha chuckled for a moment. "Flo on a more serious note. Do you love Helia?"
Flora smiled. "Yes, I do. What about you? Do you love Nabu?"
"Of course." Aisha answered, happily.
"Go tell him before its too late." Flora encouraged her.
"Yeah." Aisha nodded.
"Aisha, one more thing. Can you promise me something?" Flora was a bit hesitant at first to bring it up.
"What is it?"
"Take care of my parents and baby sister for me." Flora answered.
"Yeah." Aisha sadly answered. "I think I hear someone knocking on the door."
Aisha got up and headed outside.
Once she reached, Aisha began to cry thinking about her best friend leaving her forever.
While in the bedroom Flora was also crying.
Later
It was after nine in the night when Flora was lying on her bed and heard rain. She had on the same clothes from earlier.
Getting up to close the window she saw Helia standing in front of the house. He seemed nervous about knocking on the door.
He had on a navy jacket with a white shirt, black pants and shoes.
Flora yelled. "You fool! You will get sick standing in the rain. What are you doing here?"
Helia was surprised to hear Flora's voice. He looked over to the window for a moment before running over to talk to her.
"I came to see you, Flora." Helia told her.
"I told you I didn't want to see you again." Flora cried.
Helia went into his jacket pocket and took out a piece of paper. "I got you proof that I apologized to every female I ever have been with and hurt."
Flora took the paper as the tears continued to fall. She unfolded it to see the signatures of the women.
Helia continued. "I apologized to them and I have Nabu as my witness to confirm it. Flora, I love you."
Flora yelled. "You fool! I am dying."
"I still love you." Helia didn't care how much time Flora had left on this planet just as long as he could spend every minute she had left with him. "I love you, Flora."
Flora opened the window wide enough for her to go through before hugging Helia.
"I love you too, Helia." Flora admitted, hugging him tightly.
Helia hugged her back.
The Next Day
Helia was sitting in his office with Nabu.
Both had on grey suits with a white inside shirt and black shoes.
Helia asked. "Nabu, do you remember when we started this company?"
"Of course. We were in your mother's basement trying to create a game." Nabu remembered the hardship they endured to build the company. "We had only a computer."
"I will always remember those days." Helia mentioned.
Nabu looked at his best friend and asked. "Will you be okay?"
"What?" Helia asked.
"Flora."
Helia sighed, not knowing the answer.
Almost a minute later the room door opened to reveal Flora. She had on blue jeans with a pink blouse.
"Helia, I am bored. Let's go." Flora went over to drag him out of the chair. Looking over at Nabu, she added. "Aisha likes guys who are strong yet not afraid to admit their feelings. So go get her, Nabu."
Nabu looked happy upon hearing that.
Helia and Flora were in the male's car with Helia in the driver's seat.
Helia asked. "Where do you want to go?"
"I don't know." Flora replied before Helia accidentally ran a red light.
"Oh." Helia groaned, knowing he would soon get a ticket for that.
Flora smiled.
Helia looked at her and smiled, knowing what she had in mind.
Let down the top of the car, Helia ran through every red light with both making silly faces when the camera near the stop light took their picture.
They continued till reaching a restaurant.
Nabu was standing in front of a trailer that Aisha with a bouquet of red roses in his hands. He had on the same suit from earlier.
Aisha was inside combing the wigs for the movie. She had on purple jeans pants with a strapless black blouse and short sleeve purple jacket. On her feet were purple wedge heels.
She heard a knock coming from the door.
"Come in." She answered.
A few seconds later the door opened and Nabu entered.
Aisha turned around to see the male coming towards her with the roses. She put down the comb and smiled, seeing Nabu.
Once the male was in front of her, he confessed. "Aisha, I love you so much. I love you more than I thought I could ever love anyone before."
Aisha replied, hugging Nabu's neck. "Good because I love you too."
Nabu hugged the brunette's waist before planting his lips onto Aisha's own for a passionate kiss.
Later
Helia was in his and Nabu's apartment. He had changed into a blue and white shirt with black jeans and black shoes. He quickly opened Nabu's room door and looked to see the male asleep.
Helia looked on the wall near the bed to see several pictures of the two males on several adventures.
Helia closed the door before preparing to head out and go to the beach to think and get some fresh air.
Helia soon stopped walking when he felt a massive headache. He fell to the ground in pain.
Helia used his right hand which was shaking and went into his pocket to take out a small bottle of medication.
It took him a while to open it since both hands were shaking and take one of the pills he was prescribed by the Doctor.
Once he took the pill Helia felt his phone vibrating.
Taking it out, he saw Aisha's name on the screen. Answering it, Helia said. "Hello?"
"Helia come to the hospital immediately. It's Flora!" Aisha said, worriedly.
Helia hung up the phone. He woke up Nabu before they rushed over to the hospital.
Aisha was standing in Flora's room with Nurse Bloom.
Aisha had on a purple mini skirt with a white blouse and purple knee length high heel boots.
Bloom had on her mandatory pink and white work uniform.
Flora was lying on the bed, wearing a white and blue hospital gown.
She had several tubes which were connected to her and a machine.
Flora looked at Bloom and asked. "How are you? You look well."
Bloom was about to say something when Helia rushed into the room, worried.
He asked. "How are you, Flora?"
Flora indicated to Bloom to answer since she was checking the machines.
Bloom answered. "She is in stable condition now."
Flora slowly sat up to see Helia better. She said. "Let's go home."
"No Flora. I don't need to remain you how bad your disease is." Bloom wasn't going to let her leave this time.
"What's the point of staying? Can you make me better?" Flora questioned.
"Flora." Helia shook his head. "Stay."
"Can everyone give me some space?" Flora asked.
Helia went outside to sit down while Aisha went to the canteen to eat and Bloom left to get Sky.
Helia was outside for nearly fifteen minutes when Nabu was seen running down the hallway with a folder in his right hand.
He had on a purple shirt with blue jeans and black shoes.
When Nabu sat beside him, Helia asked. "Where did you run off to?"
"How could you do this to me?" Nabu threw the folder down, frustrated.
Helia looked down to see some x-rays had come out of the folder.
"Doctor Sky was calling for you when we entered the hospital but you were too concerned about Flora to hear him. I stopped and asked what the matter was? After I told him my name and he recognized it as your emergency contact he told me everything." Nabu was trying not to cry. "Helia, how could you not tell me that you had a brain tumour? You were going to wait till you were dead and the hospital to call me to say that you had one."
"Nabu." Helia whispered.
"No! Let's get a second opinion." Nabu didn't want his best friend to leave him so soon.
"Nabu, it's too late for me now." Helia muttered.
"No, it's not. We can go to Zenith. That country is known for being the best when it came to medical skills." Nabu said, sounding depressed. "We find the best Doctors in the world there and you can get you the surgery."
"And what? Stay in the hospital waiting to die?" Helia asked. "The Doctor said the chances of the surgery being successful are slim. Besides, what if I forget about Flora? I don't want that. Nabu, I am happy."
Helia heard Flora calling his name.
He hurried and went inside.
Flora told him. "Helia, I want to go somewhere tomorrow. I want to visit my family for a few hours."
Helia agreed, seeing how passionate she felt about it.
The Next Day
Bloom went into Flora's room and saw that the brunette wasn't there. "Damn it. That girl is hard of hearing."
Flora was sitting around a table with Helia and her family.
Flora had on a pink and white dress with a white jacket and pink wedge heel shoes.
Helia was sitting beside Flora. He had on a white shirt with a blue jacket, black pants and black shoes.
Sitting across from the two were Flora's parents and little sister.
Rhodos, Flora's father had light brown hair, light skin and dark eyes. He had on a green shirt with blue jeans pants and black shoes.
Alyssa, Flora's mother had brown hair, tan skin and black eyes. She had on a purple dress with matching colour slippers.
Miele, the brunette's younger teenaged sister had honey colour hair, light skin and green coloured eyes. She had on a pink and white dress with peach colour slippers.
Miele cheered. "Flora, I am so glad you are home and with your boyfriend."
"I am glad to see you too, Miele." Flora responded.
"Miele, sweetie can you go to the garden and pick some herbs for me?" Alyssa requested. "It the same herbs I mentioned early I wanted to use to cook the soup."
"Okay." Miele replied before getting up to do what her mother said.
Once the adults were alone, Rhodos said. "Flora, what are you doing out of the hospital?"
"I am out now." Flora explained.
Alyssa asked. "Flora, how did you meet Helia? You have been in the hospital for a while now."
"I was waiting for a bus on a raining day and he splashed me." Flora informed the two.
"Okay." Alyssa said. "How about you two stay for lunch. I make a great soup."
"Alright. I am going to show Helia around the village and come back later." Flora told her parents. "Tell Miele I will be back soon."
Helia and Flora were walking on the sand barefooted.
"So how do you like the village I grew up in?" Flora asked, after they took a little tour of the place.
"It's great. We should come here again soon." Helia answered.
"Um…" Flora muttered.
Helia soon fell to his knees feeling dizzy.
Flora stopped walking and kneeled beside Helia. "Helia, what's wrong?"
When he stopped feeling dizzy, he answered. "I am okay now. I felt a little dizzy. How about we go and see the tree you and your sister planted a few years ago."
Flora sighed, knowing that Helia didn't want to take about it.
They stood up and put on their shoes before heading to the tree.
When Helia and Flora reached the tree, Flora gasped. "It has gotten so big."
"Do you want to stay here for a while before going back?" Helia asked.
"Yes." Flora replied.
They went to sit down on a brown bench near the tree.
After spending the day with Flora's family Helia and the brunette were on a train, heading back to the city.
When they almost reach their destination Helia went to use the bathroom.
After Helia was finished using the bathroom he went to sit beside Flora.
When he sat beside her Helia saw that Flora's eyes were close and she was coughing.
"Flora?" Helia felt her temperature.
She was starting to feel cold.
Helia yelled. "Is there a Doctor on broad? Someone help!"
Helia was running behind a doctor and two nurses that were pushing Flora towards a room.
They were now at the hospital Flora usually attends.
As they reached a long hallway Helia began to experience a massive headache.
He collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.
The doctor and two nurses that were ahead of him didn't notice that Helia was on the ground since they were more focused on Flora.
Nabu and Aisha were on their way to the hospital. Helia had called them on the way over.
Helia began sweating a lot as he managed to get up and drag himself towards the room Flora was in.
Upon reaching the room Helia saw Sky, Bloom along with the Doctor and two nurses that carried Flora into the room.
Bloom looked at Helia and shook her head while tears were flowing from her eyes.
Helia collapsed to his knees as the tears released. The pain he felt a while ago didn't compare to the pain he felt now.
Flora, his love was now gone.
Aisha and Nabu soon came and saw the male on the floor. Both knew what that meant and began to cry.
Helia, Nabu and Aisha went to the village Flora grew up in. Since Aisha was close to Flora's family she wanted to be the one to break the news to them.
After spending most of the day together mourning Flora not being here anymore, Helia went to the place he and Flora spent their last time alone.
He wanted to spend some time alone before going back to the city.
The blue hair male sat on the bench he and Flora sat on and began to cry.
Helia had on a grey shirt with blue jeans and black shoes.
Helia felt his phone vibrating.
He took it out to see a video message.
He played it and saw Flora.
'She did this when we came here together.' Helia thought.
On the video, Flora said. "Hey. Are you surprised? You can say I am a copycat by following you. You miss me already, don't you? I know I don't have much time left. The day we met was one of the happiest days of my life. The day we went to the restaurant and the waiter played a melody for me was really my birthday. I wish we could have done more together. You have given me much more than I think I deserved."
She paused for a second as tears began to flow.
"I thought I was the only one between the two of us that had something killing them from the inside." Flora continued. "You thought I didn't know you had a tumour? Do you know how hard it is waiting for you to tell me? You are a fool for suffering by yourself. Helia, I don't want you to be sad. Try and find a way to get better. There is a chance for you to live so live and enjoy yourself. I also want thank you for giving something important, your love."
Helia missed her so much.
"Helia!" The video continued. "Sky and Bloom most likely forgot but they have a gift for you. That gift requires you to be alive and around. And Helia. I love you unconditionally."
The video ended.
After Helia stopped crying he went to meet Nabu and Aisha before heading back to the city.
Sky and Bloom were sitting in the male's office, still sad over Flora's passing.
It was twelve in the afternoon and they were on their break.
They soon heard a knock coming from the door.
"Come in." Sky called out.
The door opened and revealed Helia, Aisha and Nabu.
Helia had on a blue and white shirt with black pants and black shoes.
Aisha had on purple skirt with a purple and black blouse and black flat shoes.
Nabu wore black pants with a white blouse and black shoes.
"Hi. What are you three doing here?" Bloom was surprised to see them.
Entering the room Helia said. "Flora sent me a video message before she passed away and said she had a gift for me and should come to you two for it."
"Gift?" Sky and Bloom looked at each other wondering what gift was that.
"Flora didn't leave anything with us." Sky mentioned.
Aisha sighed.
Nabu asked. "What's wrong Aisha?"
"I can hear the babies crying from the nursery from right here and I remembered that Flora wanted to have a family one day." Aisha mentioned, wrapping her hands around Nabu's right arm.
Bloom's eyes widen. "Oh! That's it."
"What's it?" Helia asked.
"Last year we took out some of Flora's eggs and froze them before we started to treat her." Bloom recalled that day. "Another nurse and I assisted Sky with the operation and stored them in this very hospital."
"You know what that means, Helia?" Nabu said.
"Yes, I do." Helia replied.
"I could be a surrogate. That's if you want me to, that is." Aisha offered.
Helia nodded before looking at Sky. "Sky, is it too late for me to do the surgery?"
"No, it's not but like I said before it could be a risky one." Sky said. "You may not survive and if you do then it is a fifty-fifty chance of having amnesia."
"That is a chance I am willing to take to in order to live for not for myself but a product of Flora's and I's love." Helia replied, now willing to take that risk.
"Don't worry Helia. If you do forget, you have Aisha and I here to remind you of what you forget." Nabu reassured him.
One Year Later
Helia was laying on his bed in the mansion he shared with Nabu and Aisha and Flora's family.
The blue hair male had on a white shirt with blue shorts.
Lying on his chest were two baby girl with blue hair, light skin and blue eyes. She had on a white diaper with a light blue shirt. Her name was Macy. The other was also a girl with brown hair, with slightly tan skin and jade coloured eyes. She had on a light pink shirt with a white diaper. Her name was Rose.
Both were girls were a month old and his.
Before Helia were to do the surgery he gave several samples to Sky and Bloom. It was enough for them to do the in vitro with Aisha as the surrogate.
With the surgery and chemo, Helia had become sterile.
After several tries and all the batches were used, it wasn't until the last batch of Flora's eggs and Helia swimmers that the babies were created.
Helia survived the surgery but parts of his memories were gone. The good thing is that Nabu and Aisha were there to help him out.
After the fraternal twins were born, Helia did a DNA test to ensure that there was no mistake.
The hospital had Flora's DNA on the system already and used that along with Helia DNA to run the test.
The good thing is the test proved that Helia that his and Flora's love will live on physically though those girls.
Helia was watching a video Flora's family had sent him.
He remembered Flora but not enough to tell his girls about her so the videos and the pictures received were what they had to know the woman that taught Helia an important lesson. A lesson he would pass on to not only their daughters but to other people as well.
The lesson was to live life. Life is too short and is too much of a blessing to not enjoy it.
