first steps on an unknown planet
Elena looks around. It’s dark and the sky has a black color without any stars. She thinks about his boyfriend. “There is no chance that he died! I know him for twelve years and he is strong enough. I will see him again. I’m sure about that. She hears nothing but the silence. Never before has she heard absolutely nothing. And suddenly she realizes that she is alone. There are no creatures on this planet. Everything is destroyed. A teardrop rolls over her pale face. And she takes the first step on this unknown planet.
Elena went to her room to get some rest. However, she felt a cold wind and suddenly became afraid. She heard a familiar voice said "why do you want to see me?", Elena said to her boyfriend, because I really miss you, it's been a long time since you're gone. I still remember those times we spent together at the park, holding hands while walking and having good conversations. But suddenly all those happy moments with you turned out to become a memory. I wish I could have a time machine because you made me the happiest girl in the whole world but you left me, you're unfair you told me that we’re getting married. Then why? Why did you leave me if you know it's hard to move on Sean” Elena said. After she asked Sean He replied, "you don't understand my situation. Maybe, it really happened for a reason”.
The room filled with silence and Elena's parents entered the room and her mom said " I hope you will finally wake up, we miss you." as she caressed the strands of Elena's hair.
Elena’s parents had a conversation with Sean
Sean asks” Aunt Melissa what’s the recent news about Elena's condition?,” Aunt Melissa answered Sean’s question ”Hopefully Elena will be cured so that she can be with us and make more memories.”
Three days later a hopeful wait came, aunt Melissa saw Elena's hand moving and rushed to Sean to announce what had happened.
"Finally! After you showed a movement from your hands, you also came to consciousness and finally we can talk to you", Sean said. "Where am I?, Elena uttered. "You are in the hospital and you lost consciousness after the plane crash. You have been unconscious for a long time", Aunt Melissa said.
Her mom called the doctor, then said " your daughter has been awake all this time she's not in a coma" . Sean was about to enter Elena's room but he suddenly heard the conversation of Elena's mom and the doctor.
This shocked him and realized that Elena knew all things he did. He did not have strength to face her and even her family. Then come one time that he really needed to apologize to her so he went back to the hospital but the attending nurse said that Elena was sent home already. He then went to Elena's house even if its raining intensely. Elena peek through the window and saw Sean outside soaking wet. So she went outside to meet him. "Why did you come? It's raining so hard you might get sick, " Elena said. "I came to apologize for everything I said, and done to you. I never knew you were awake all this time." Sean replied. Elena did not forgive Sean and it caused a heart problem. Elena is in the hospital and she knows that she has a serious heart problem so she told her doctor not to tell her parents or anyone. But Elena can no longer handle her feelings so it is getting weaker and weaker, then she told her parents that she would give up because he didn’t want to make it difficult for them both. Elena cried after she told her parents and her last will was “please take care of yourselves and I promise i will always be watching over you.” Elena said. Then after few minutes Elena died and Sean went to see Elena for the last and I can see that he was too much to blame and Sean said to Elena "sorry my moon for what I did, I just did that because I miss you your presence, and I hope you will forgive me.
