Between Two Hearts
Chapter 118

"I want to talk to you." Dara helps Windu to lean his back. His eyes felt poignant, holding tightness in his own chest.

"About what?"

"About transplant surgery..."

"Why? is there a problem?" Windu asked, he was a little tense looking at Dara's attitude that seemed so strange.

"The donor changed his mind?"

"Isn't that?"

"Why?"

"I want you to promise "

"promised? Promise what?"

"Never say no to me."

Windu looked at Dara's face.

"What's up, baby?" Windu grabbed Dara's fingers, now the look was confused and looked a little wary.

"Have I ever said no to you?" windu's question softened, there was a thick fog hanging in his wife's eyes.

"Please promise.Can you promise me, Brother Win?"

Windu looked at Dara deeply, if Dara called him with Brother Win then he knew, there was something unusual.

"What are you asking for?" Windu asked as he chuckled expelling the tension himself.

"Don't ask me to give you a honeymoon in Bali again.I don't have the strength for it yet." Windu laughed hoarsely, trying to melt the atmosphere. But instead of laughing Dara even cried sobbing in his chest.

"What's wrong, my dear? Why are you weird like this, usually you always give me strength and comfort me, why are you being like this?" Windu stroked Dara's hair which he tied soberly.

"Let me give you one of my kidneys."

The sentence was like thunder in Windu's ear.

"What are you talking about?" Windu was stunned, though,

"Let me donate one of my kidneys to you." Said Dara among her prank.

"Don't joke!"

"I'm not kidding..."

Windu clutched Dara's shoulder which did not lift her face from her chest, she avoided having their eyes met.

"Don't you say you've found someone who fits me?"

Dara bit her lips, she raised her face.

"We've been here for weeks, no kidney's really matched with you. You're getting weaker, the dialysis can't last forever..."

"Darling..what do you mean?"

"Do you know what you're saying?" Windu interrupted his huff, even now he seemed to want to rebel from all the hoses that connected to his body.

"Darling, you promised not to reject me." Dara Whine.

"I haven't said anything and I'm not promising anything. I'd rather die if I had to accept a kidney donor from you!" Windu's voice rose even to the point of coughing, to shout even he looked weak.

"Doctors say, a person can still live a normal life with one kidney. If I have two, what's wrong with me giving one to someone I love?"Dara's eyes flooded by puddles of tears.

"I'm willing to accept a kidney from anyone, even from the dead if possible to survive for you and Sunny. But, I'd rather die if I had to take it from you." Reject Windu firmly.

"Darling, I can't see you suffering any longer." Dara wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

"I don't want you to do that to me either. You know the risk? If this operation fails then we can both lose our lives! If anything happens to you, what about our Sunny? He can live without me but not without you!"

"I know, this is not going to fail, we're going to live together for Sunny."

"Darling, stop this nonsense."

"Darling, I can't live without you, let me extend our time in the world, even though for that I give half of my life. I can't watch you suffer any longer, I can't..."

Windu's pale lips trembled, his tears melted seeing as Dara inched to her feet. And hugged and kissed Windu's legs, with his body shaken.

"Receive this devotion of mine, I will regret it all my life if I lose you just because you rejected me. Please, as a wife and as someone who loves you. Don't reject me."

Windu felt his feet wet with tears, he wept looking at his wife even though he had no voice.

He did not understand why he was so special that he received such a sacrifice from his wife.

"Why are you doing this to me, Dara? Why?"

"I don't want to live if you're not in this world. If I live, I will be like dead. The only person I have in this world is you, other than our son. But didn't you promise to take care of me in this world? How can you keep your promise if you're dying like this? I want you to live so I can live, too." Dara replied with an unbroken sentence, her voice faltering in between her half-hunting breath.

"What about Sunny? Why do you only think of us without thinking of our children?"

"I'm doing this, because I'm thinking about Sunny. I'm afraid Sunny can't hug her father, like me. I'm afraid Sunny doesn't have any memories of her father, because it's so painful." Dara's tears were unstoppable.

Dara was sobbing at Windu's feet, she was crying so much that she spilled all her feelings she had kept, shedding all the fear and anxiety she held.

All this time he tried to be strong and comfort himself even though his soul was fragile. He has lost a lot in his life, his father and brother who died before he was born even Dara's face did not know, his mother who also left before even had to take him to security.

He is only attached to Windu, a man who has the heart of his brother and is now the father of his son.

How could he possibly lose again? He was willing to bet his life to fight for this man.

"I love you, Dara, don't make me owe you more." Windu's voice was like a hoarse whisper, his hands touching his own chest, his chest was painful. His heart felt like it was pounding hard and it made him short of breath.

"A husband never owes his wife anything, you owe me nothing, except for the debt you promised to keep me."
