As we grown up, we have been wishing for something that we require for ourselves, whether if it's professional or personal life. No matter the outcomes or the judgemental of anyone, we are just keeping our wish to our bucket list. However, even if you got what you wished for, do you really think it will be there for you permanently?

Many people are still regretting to this day that their wishes don't come true, simply because they have some other jobs to do that they intent to ignore their wishes. We all know that time is limited for some particular things, including our life. Think about it, have you ever wondered why millions of people don't end their own life after 100 years of living, which is the maximum lifespan of humans?

We can simply answer the question in just a short one, most people are not lucky enough to live until 100 years old. It will be even worse if some lifes don't witness the world even before they were welcomed. Who is going to be responsible for their death? It would be no one but themselves.

We are born based in a different lifespan, we would never knew our last day. But before it would approach you, try to live happily as much as you can, you can only live for once.

That's how it was in Lily's case, she didn't want to be reminded that she didn't have much time yet to be alive. She would rather to ignore and be joyful to everyone. But the worse things had happened, now Fakhri and Prakash had came to know about her health condition. They didn't see this coming to them when they wanted everything to be perfectly fine.

Now, the truth was coming out minute by minute, pool of thoughts were moving around Lily's mind. She wanted to be the reason to make everyone delightful, not to make them sorrow. She didn't have the thought of telling the secret to anyone except her family, but she knew it will come out somehow even if it's not by her mistake.

Lily was lying on her hospital bed, thinking about the two boys's reaction after they came to know the untold truth. Although she pretended to be strong in front of everyone back in the school, but deep down she was extremely exhausted from her unimproved health condition. As she gained her consciousness, she started to move her body, attempting to wake up from the dark zone she had been for hours.

Lily: Wh....what....what happened to me?.........

Prakash: Lily!! Don't strain yourself!

Prakash came next to Lily and held her tight, he was being with her for the whole time after the treatment. She slowly opened the eyes and the next thing she knew, she's in a hospital ward.

Lily: What.....what am I doing here?.....

Prakash: Lily, you're fainted back in the school, we rushed you to the hospital immediately with your mom and Fakhri.

Lily: Hospital? What.....

That's when Lily suddenly got triggered, she was afraid that Prakash and Fakhri came to know about her secret. It's kind of hard to say, however they have found it out by themselves. After the horrifying news, Fakhri and Prakash can't held it back the shock, they simply can't digest to the fact that Lily was a heart patient. They felt heartbroken and depressed for her critical condition.

Prakash: Why didn't you tell us, Lily?

Lily: Tell you what?

Prakash: About your condition.........

Prakash tried to hold back his tears that was trying to escape from his sorrow eyes, he just wanted this to be a prank but the reality can't let him think like that.

Lily: I.......I.......I'm sorry Prakash.......

Prakash: So it's true?.....you don't have much time left?.......

Prakash cupped his mouth and looked sadly at Lily, she closed her eyes in guilt and nodded her head slightly.

Prakash: ( tears roll down from his eyes ) Please don't go.......

Lily: Prakash.....this is what I am now, I'm already half death inside, and anything could happen to m....

Prakash: Don't you dare say those words!!!!

Prakash raged in anger and looked sharply at Lily with red eyes, she looked away and felt uneasy all of a sudden.

Prakash: How can you think like this Lily?!! You might have a chance to survive!!!

Lily: I don't know if I believe that, Prakash. I can't find a donor or having a surgery to heal my injuries......

Prakash: So what?!! I rather give my heart to you than let you die easily!!!

Lily: PRAKASH!!!!!

Lily shouted in shock when Prakash said those unbelievable words, she was taken aback from him with his outrage and sadness.

Fakhri: If he doesn't give you, then I would give it to you instead of him!!!

Fakhri came inside out of the blue and offered his life to Lily as well. She looked at both of them in shock and tongue-tied. For the first time in her whole life, she was speechless.

Fakhri: If anyone's going to let you die easily, I will kill my with my bare hands!!! Mark my words, Lily!!

Lily: Guys!! Guys!! Calm down!! Why are you both getting raged all of a sudden?!

Prakash: Do you think we will keep quiet after hearing your condition?!!

Fakhri: Yeah, and do you expect us to let it go when we know that you.....

Fakhri closed his eyes and cupped his mouth in sadness.

Fakhri: That you don't have much time left........

Fakhri wanted to cry as well as Prakash. After hearing the news, the boys were crying unstoppably without any control. They felt guilty of not protecting her enough from the crisis back in the school.

Lily: It's fine Fakhri, just let me go if that's how it supposed to happen.

Fakhri: Kau kata apa?!!!

Fakhri walked toward Lily and pressed the bed with so much force.

Prakash: Fakhri, relax.

Fakhri: No, I can't. Did you just hear what she said?!!

Lily: No Fakhri, I tried to say that.....

Before Lily could even say anything, her heart started to beat rapidly. She felt sharp pain on her chest, she clutched her chest in pain and shouted a bit. The monitor gave an alarming sound of her uncoordinated heartbeat. Fakhri and Prakash became terrified and Prakash went to call the doctor.

Prakash: Doctor!!! Somebody!!! Tolong!!! Tolong!!!

Fakhri: Lily!!! Lily!!! Stay calm!!! Stay calm!!!

Fakhri tried to make Lily relax so that her heart can relax as well. Her mother Faiza heard the scream of Prakash and ran towards them.

Faniza: What happened?!

Prakash: Ma'am, Lily's having pain on her chest, call the doctor!!!

Faniza: Doctor!!! Somebody!!! Help!!!!

The doctor arrived by time and checked the heart rate of Lily, her heart managed to beat back to normal, however the condition was still critical. She checked everything from top to toe while Faniza, Prakash and Fakhri stood aside.

Faniza: Is she fine now, doctor?

Doctor: She is fine now, but I told you earlier, her heart is getting weaker and weaker. She has been experiencing uncoordinated heartbeat after the huge impact to her heart, we never knew how long could it maintain to keep her alive.

Faniza covered her face with both of her hands and cried silently.

Prakash: But she can make it, right? She has to make it.

Lily sadly looked at Prakash and Fakhri, they both still had hope that she could survive even after many statements of her condition.

Doctor: Fortunately, we have been looking for a donor, but we haven't get a single news of it. So until then, you need to take a good care of her before her condition gets worse.

Fakhri: So, what are the things that Lily supposed to avoid during this time?

Doctor: Make sure there's no smoke or dust when she's around, check her from time to time to see if her heart is beating normal. And the most importantly, don't let anyone hit on her chest. Because, if they do......... there's no chance of her survive.

With that said, the doctor left the ward, leaving them stuck into their thoughts. Faniza wiped her tears away but she still can't stop flowing her tears. She immediately went next to Lily and caressed her hair.

Lily: Mom, it's fine. Stop crying.

Faniza: I still can't believe it, Lily. If only I have been more careful, you wouldn't had been experiencing this trauma. I'm such a terrible mother, Lily. ( cries )

Lily: Mom, stop blaming yourself. No one expected I would end up like this, this is none of your fault.

Faniza: I can't, Lily. Your father is not by your side now, and your brother is studying somewhere else. You're the only one I can rely on, don't let me live alone, Lily........

Faniza hid her face on Lily's neck and cried silently, Lily rubbed her back to calm her down. She looked slowly at the side, Fakhri and Prakash were crying silently as well, she felt guilty for not telling her condition.

Lily: I'm sorry for hiding this truth from you, I don't want anyone else to find out about my condition.

Fakhri: ...........Lily............

Lily: I just wanted everyone to be happy, don't worry about me, I'll be fine.

Prakash: Are you for real, Lily? After everything the doctor said, you're still claiming you're gonna be fine?!

Faniza: She always tried to shut us up by telling these same words, don't try to get away from us.

Fakhri: I...I have never cried so much after my parents divorced, because the only family I have right now is.....you, Lily!

Prakash: Even I lost one of my precious person when I was a kid, but now you're the only person I can hang out with. Please stay with us, Lily!!

Lily: I....I......I'll

Prakash: Don't your dare say those words again.....

Prakash put a lot pressure on his words to warn Lily, she wanted to say those words again but she decided to change it to make them feel better.

Lily: I'll try, Prakash.

Faniza: Boys, I know that only the two of you know about my daughter's condition. Now, let me get this straight. Starting from today, you both have to take care of Lily while I'm not at the school, make sure no one comes up to go against her. And another thing, let's keep this secret between us. Don't ever let anyone know about this. We will let them know when the time comes. Is that clear?

Prakash: Yes, ma'am. We will look after Lily.

Fakhri: Saya juga, cikgu. She's now in my vision.

Faniza: Ok.....( wipes her tears ) now, let me settle the paperwork for your discharge and go back to our school, let's not tell anyone that you admitted to the hospital.

Faniza left Fakhri and Prakash in charge after she went out, they both went closer to Lily each side and remained silent.

Lily: Promise me you won't tell this to anyone, no matter what.

Fakhri: We promise, Lily. I swear I won't tell a soul.

Prakash: And don't stress yourself in the name of looking after the school.

Lily: Ok, I won't.

Lily started thinking about the school again, she came there just to find the untold secrets that had been hiding there. She suddenly remembered Ariz whom she suspected of his moves.

Lily: Uhh, guys, do you actually know Ariz?

Prakash: Ariz?

Lily: Yeah, that form 4 boy who hang out with Kahar and his friends.

Fakhri: Oh, they're kind of close so they hang out together most of the time. And, I don't really know much about him, aside from the fact that he looks a bit weird.

Prakash: Yeah, kinda look like he's up to something.

Lily: Actually.....there is something which is quite not right about him.

Fakhri and Prakash looked confusingly at Lily.

Prakash: What do you mean?

Lily: One late at night, I was roaming around the school compound when I saw Ariz came out from a store room. And after he left, there was another boy who looked younger than came out as well, he looked a bit spooked, as if he was terrified of something.

Fakhri: The store room?

Prakash: What was he doing with a boy in the store room?

Lily: I dunno, but he's hiding something from us. I want to find that out.

Fakhri: Don't worry Lily, you're not alone in this mission. You now have Prakash and Fakhri to be your new assistants.

Lily: ( chuckles ) Assistants? Really?

Prakash: Yeah, it's your mom's order, to keep an eye on you everytime.

Lily: Fine then, but don't let me down if it's too hard.

Fakhri: Well, I'm sure Prakash would let you down, right?

Prakash: How dare you, Fakhri?!

Lily started to chuckle upon seeing their interaction, she was totally surprised that Fakhri and Prakash were getting along pretty well, she really knew that her presence had started to give a change throughout the school.

Lily MV: Let's hope Kahar won't find out about my condition, he will be heartbroken if he found out. I miss you a lot, Kahar.
