Short Story 2: 7 Days (PART 1)

#28
14th March

Well, I'm write another short story again. This time, the title is "7 Days". In your mind, what happen if you only have 7 days of life? This story will bring you into the world full of frustrations and ways to save your days and fulfill your life with wonderful memories.

This is the first part of the short story. Maybe I will use three days to write it all.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sorry, you are suffered from liver cancer. There's nothing can help you. You only have 7 days of life..." Adrian thinks back the words again. Adrian still standing at the outdoor of the doctor's room. He then thinks again the words "7 days of life". 7 days? Only a week? Why I can't live for more time? Adrian still can't believe that he will die soon.


Adrian stepped out from the hospital. He looks at the sky. A lot of questions pondering around his mind. Adrian is about 30 years old now. But now, his death will come soon. There will never 31-years-old Adrian anymore.

After 7 days, is 8 August, his birthday. Will the death to be one of his presents by that time. Adrian confused. He doesn't want to hear any death around him again, but his heart, can't leave it.


Adrian travels himself to the well-known Big Ben Clock.

The bell sounds by the time, it is 12 noon. Adrian starred at the clock face. The minute hand passing over the hour hand. Adrian thinks for a long time... Why the time can't stop? Why it's still going? Adrian's heart totally crash.

But, the time still going. Nothing, no one can stop it. This is the fixed and can't change rule. Everyone need to comply it.


Adrian walks slowly to his home. His wife, Swift, standing at the door waiting her lovely husband.

Swift waits for a long time. Then, she sits on the chair in a small garden, drinking a cup of England tea and a butter cupcake full with colourful, sweet creams. Swift likes reading novels. She picking up a novel titled "A Tangled Web". Now, she is reading chapter 14 of the novel.

Swift touch with the story as she likes the characters in the novel. Sometimes, she also hopes that she can be one of the characters in some kind of novel, or even her novel. Swift wrote a novel before, the title is "Frustrations' Life".

The synopsis of "Frustrations' Life" storying around a lady named Beatrix Poler. Christina Jayinghuson is an orphan who adopted by Beatrix. Beatrix become the stepmother of Christina. Beatrix take care Christina until she become adult. Beatrix doesn't has any kid because she is not married. The time Beatrix take care Christina, she met a lot of problems and frustrations. But she doesn't give up. She through a lot of storms and finally she success. Christina become the best teenager in America. Christina felt proud and happy and also thankful to Beatrix. Christina works hard to gratitude Beatrix.


The time is 4.30 PM. Swift waits for a long time. Finally, she sees her husband. Swift quickly rushes to her husband and give a hug.

Adrian pushes out Swift hard. He wants to tell the truth to Swift, but he afraid that Swift will sad of his death.

"Honey... Where have you been for?"

"Oh! I met find my friend in the street. We drank lemon teas as snack in a restaurant."

"Okay! Let's us step into the house. It's dusk now. I want to take shower."

"Go for it. I'll wait you."

Swift kisses Adrian's face and walks into her house. Leave Adrian at the garden. Adrian has not enough brave to tell the truth to her wife. But, the time still going. He need to tell his wife too.


Adrian starring at the calendar while his wife is taking the shower.

8 August, his birthday, his deadline too.

After dinner, Adrian sits on the sofa. Swift sits beside him. They are watching the television program. Adrian doesn't say anything to Swift. Adrian wants to tell the truth to her wife tonight. Adrian will try to calm down Swift as Swift will be sad.


Until 10.15 PM, is the time to bed. Swift switch off the television and walks to the main room. Adrian follows her.

"Swift, I have something to tell you..."

Swift heard and takes a turn and eying at Adrian's face. And then, she says.

"Honey, tell me if you want."

Adrian breaths hard and speaks out.

"Actually... I sick..."

"What? Sick? Okay, I fetch you to clinic."

"Swift! Wait! This is not the common sick..."

"Then, what happened on you?"

"I... suffered from..."

"Quick! Honey!"

"I... suffered from... liver cancer..."

Swift shocked. She doesn't believe it. She thinks Adrian is joking to her. Before she wants to laugh Adrian, Adrian says quicker than her.

"I only have... 7 days of... life..."

Swift totally shocked. Now, she believes. Tears rolls down from her cheeks.

"Why? Why? Why? Why you never tell me earlier?"

"I'm sorry, Swift. I don't want you sad and cry like this..."

"NO WAY! You must tell me earlier! I can help you! I have money! You can save your life!"

"Swift, it's too late... There's nothing can help me..."


------------------------------------TO BE CONTINUE-----------------------------------------

I stop at here. I write it so emotionally. Would Adrian calms down Swift? Could Swift accepts the truth? The next 6 days, Adrian how to fulfill his life before his death?

I will present out the answers tomorrow.

Bye!
