"Daddy, are they going to send mattresses to our house today?"
Harriet had asked the same question over and over again. Maybe about five times. Yes, as promised Sean would buy Harriet a new mattress in a really big size, and Sean had kept his promise to his little daughter. They even just got out of the furniture shop and they haven't reached the car yet. But his little daughter was too impatient to see the new mattress in the house.
"Yes dear. Harriet's new mattress will be delivered this afternoon."
"Yes! Tonight I'm going to sleep in a big bed! Thank you, daddy!"
"Yeah, you're welcome, honey."
Harriet shook her hand which was in Sean's grip excitedly. Her little feet were also jum
Angel woke up in the middle of the night with wet cheeks. She was dreaming. Not a bad dream that befell Angel, but a beautiful dream.Angel dreams that she is on vacation with her little family in a villa. In her dream, Sean is teaching Harriet to swim. Meanwhile Angel saw herself preparing snacks for them. There is no wheelchair that Angel uses. Her body was not thin like now. There was only laughter between them.Oh, the dream was so beautiful that she woke up feeling shattered. Can't Angel just live in her dream?"Honey? Why did you wake up?" Sean asked. Sean, who was already asleep, had to wake up hearing Angel's sobs. After that Sean got up from his lying position to caress that beautiful face. "Hey, did you have a bad dream?"An
"Bye, Grandma! We'll be home the day after tomorrow. Don't miss me hehe."Harriet kissed Anne on the cheek, then she ran to put her favorite doll in the trunk. Anne smiled before her gaze turned to Angel. As soon as their eyes met, Angel could see the great concern in Anne's expression."Are you sure, Angel? Wouldn't it be better if you all stayed home?" Asked Anne to make sure."I'm sure, Mom. We're only gone for two days anyway. We won't be gone for long.""Which villa are you guys going to?""I've already sent the name of the villa to your cellphone, Mom." This time Sean came to them after closing the trunk of the car. Sean kissed the top of Angel's head, then he gripped both side
The beach they came to was at the end of London. Not so many tourists who come, only a few people. Maybe because today is not a weekend so those who come here can be counted on the fingers. This is much better. So they can enjoy this beautiful view without any significant disturbance."The wind is very strong here." Angel said as soon as Sean sat her in the wheelchair. Angel's thin brown hair was carried by the beach breeze."Yes, we will play on the beach right before sunset. For now we will rest first." Sean's words coincided with him placing the sleeping Harriet into Angel's lap. "Are you sure you can carry her? Harriet is heavy enough now."Angel snorted. "I'm not that weak.""I have to admit it. Last night you were so great at ac
"Daddy! This doesn't look like a princess's house!" Harriet said to Sean.Sean is making Harriet a princess house using beach sand. Yes, it was late afternoon and they were all playing together on the beach. After swimming in the villa pool, Harriet didn't look tired at all. The spirit of her little daughter is full until now."Princess's house is really like this. Daddy used to watch cartoons as a kid too, so Daddy knows for sure." Sean didn't want to lose.Harriet and Sean were both sitting playing in the sand, while Angel was sitting under a large umbrella. Angel was preparing snacks for them, and now she was cutting bananas for Harriet. Sean is someone who can eat just about anything and isn't the picky type. So Angel prepared a cheese sandwich.
What happened yesterday felt like a dream, or rather this was Angel's dream come true. Angel, Harriet and Sean's happiness was so beautiful as if there was no trouble. But this morning they were faced with a fact that had to happen. When Angel woke up, she vomited blood again after a few days of stopping. Harriet who saw this immediately screamed hysterically and burst into tears. Sean, who had just finished taking a shower, was shocked."Honey, what's wrong with you?!" Sean screamed in panic as he ran to Angel.Angel could only shake her head limply, then Sean helped Angel to lean on the bed."Mommy.... Mommy what's wrong with you? Why is Mommy vomiting blood again?" Harriet sobbed as she looked up at Angel. Her little fingers squeezed Angel's clothes tightly in fear.
"Daddy, I want to accompany Mommy inside." Harriet sobs to Sean.Harriet couldn't stop crying hysterically, especially when Angel entered the operating room and the nurse didn't let anyone in, including Sean and Harriet. The two of them could only wait outside the room. An hour had passed, but it felt like much longer than that. Sean seemed to be experiencing the same deja vu over and over again. He was always in this position waiting for good news.Sean picked up Harriet who was sitting on the floor, then he shook his head. "We can't go inside. If we go in, the doctor will be annoyed and not focused on helping Mommy.""But...but, Daddy. Mommy must be lonely without us. Mommy must be scared because she's alone."Tears rolled down Harr
Angel turned her head to the open bedroom door. Her smile was etched upon seeing her little daughter. Harriet's head peeked first before she finally dared to walk over to Angel who was lying weakly on the bed. Harriet's eyes were still red as her little daughter had been crying for a long time. Angel also remembers how hysterical Harriet was when she was separated from Angel, who had received emergency surgery. Angel really couldn't imagine how Harriet would live without her."Harriet... Come here with Mommy." Call Angel in a weak voice.Harriet took small steps closer to the bed. Harriet looked at all the heavy objects around Angel, then she watched Angel closely. Harriet's fingers slowly gripped Angel's. Harriet found an IV line in Angel's hand, and there was some blood on it."Mommy
"No, Sean. I'm full."Angel refused to eat after three bites. Hospital food was always bad because it was too bland, and Angel never liked that. Angel is sick of eating hospital food."Just one more bite."Sean took a spoonful of rice and tofu, then put it in front of Angel's lips. Sean wished Angel could eat a little more. Angel needs a lot of intake after the emergency surgery this morning."Okay, just one more bite. After that don't force me anymore." Angel said, then she opened hihers mouth slowly to accept the food from Sean."My girlfriend is very smart." Praise Sean while stroking Angel's brown hair."I know I'm smart."
