Horangi

10 years of living together hand in hand. Thoughts of a shared future, engagement and children filled your head every second, making hope flicker in your heart and only strengthening your bond with each passing day.

One evening everything collapsed. Unexpectedly and unpleasantly.

You come home early from work and prepare a delicious dinner for your beloved to please him after a long shift. The table is set in contrasting colors - white tones and two candles adding soft light, his favorite pasta in beautiful plates and wine in glasses. Heavy steps and the creaking of the door are heard from the hallway, and you greet Horangi with a smile. You come closer, stand on your tiptoes to kiss the man, but he stops you. His eyes reflect incredible fatigue, making you tense up and ask what happened. But you were not ready for his words.

• At the hospital they said I have terminal leukemia... I'm sorry, honey, I have to go. This is not what I wish for you.
