The cold chill that pierced up to the bone marrow he did not feel. Two hours he stood without shifting even an inch.
"Until when are you going into a coma, honey?" Gibran stood by the window and stared straight ahead, out the hospital window in his wife's ward.
"I died once, why don't I just take your place now?" His mind glared far away at a vast, crowded, and narrow space, but he felt lonely. In fact, the bright light of the sun made his eyes blind because everything he saw was only dark.
"Why am I being stupid? Obviously it was me who made him sick and in a coma, but it was me that you replaced him. Ants laugh at my stupidity." Gibran picked up the black ant that out of nowhere could be on his cheek. The little ant was as if it was laughing mocking its completely stupid self.
"You're not wrong if you laugh at me." The ant crept out the wall from the window as Gibran lowered it there.
He turned around, staring at the slim body in hospital clothes that contrasted sharply with his pale face.
Beautiful scenery as well as stifling his chest cavity. Want to get angry, but to whom?
His feet led him to walk towards his wife. However, as their distance eroded further, he turned again, staring in the other direction, his eyes uncompromising to stare at the pale face of ayu with no life emanating.
"Lord, punish me!" He walked out of the ward and chose to
calm down at the hospital.
He could only smile when he heard the inner voice of his people looking at him with sympathetic gazes. Those who secretly pray for themselves to be strong in the face of the problems God is testing.

Jasmine POV's
I can hear all your complaints, I can hear every word you say. Words of love, regret, hope, and prayer. However, would it be my fault if I followed the play of the Lord asking me to take a break and avoid the hustle and bustle of the world today.
I want to laugh actually, because my husband's jealousy is too excessive, now don't blame me if I punish you by leaving you alone.
God put me in a soft, comfortable chair, and made me not want to get up. In front of my eyes was a huge screen, and from there I could see everything I used to see with my eyes open.
Pilu, my heart feels slashed when I see all about you. Mom, I love you, don't blame yourself for what I'm going through right now. Why do you feel lonely when beside you so many people pass by.
Haha, I know the reason. You need me, you want me to be with you, so if the world and everyone on earth leaves you, you won't feel lonely if I'm by your side.
Oops, God loves me. I promise, our lives will be beautiful in and happy. However, through the path named wound and in it is full of pain.
I want to see, until when you survive.
