?WINGLESS AND BEAUTIFUL?
?EPISODE 95?
“I think it only happens when you have a deep emotional connection with the person you’re with. I don’tthink we’ll have a problem connecting that way again.”
Heleaned forward and gave me a kiss on the lips. Then hestared back at me. “Sleep now. We have an early starttomorrow.”
“What do you plan to do?”
He pushed a lock of stray hair away from my face.
“There was something I wished I could have done for youbefore, but couldn’t because I was blind,” he replied. “I’mnot blind anymore. So I could do it now.”
I drew my brows together and asked. “What’s that?”
He smiled at me gently. “I will teach you how to swim.”
I stared back at him, remembering our first date whenhe first found out I couldn’t swim to save my life.
I saw paincross his face when he said he wished he met me before hisaccident because he would have loved to give meswimming lessons.
Back then, I didn’t know it was still possible for him to see but I didn’t care at all.
But being with him now, in this little piece of heaven, where nothing washindering him from seeing me, protecting me, taking care of me, I was quite thankful that we were given a chance like this.
We were given a chance to make our love story evenmore amazing than it was before.
“Do you know who your donor was?” I asked.
He shook his head. “I don’t think I’m allowed to know.
Most transplant organs are donated anonymously.
But whoever he was… I would be forever thankful that he madea decision that saved my future.”
I smiled, tears welling up my eyes. Hunter’s donor mayhave passed, but his or her corneas still lived to give Hunterthe most precious gift of life… the gift of seeing howbeautiful the world around him was.
I thought about those people who passed away butsome parts of them continue to live on because they chosenot to be selfish.
Their lives may have ended but because they cared enough… were selfless enough… they were ableto save the lives of others.
Suddenly a thought occurred to me. Nobody everwanted to confront issues like these because they wereafraid… because they thought that not thinking or talkingabout death would make it evitable. But it isn’t. And rightnow…
I’m making a decision that if ever something happened to me and I could not move on in this life…
Then I would give whatever I could to make sure that the others,who needed that part of myself, could still have a chance ofsurviving… of living longer so they could still be with their loved ones.
Just like Hunter’s donor. If he didn’t choose to give awayhis corneas when he passed away, then Hunter would notbe here with me.
Because of him, Hunter would have thebest memories in the world… the most beautiful images ofme and the life we would live together.
Because of that selfless choice, Hunter and I were given a chance to
continue our extraordinary love story.
“I’m thankful for him too,” I whispered. “Because he gave me a chance to show you how beautiful our love was,and how wonderful our life together was going to be.”
Hunter stared at me for a long moment and then he shifted so that I was lying on my back and he was on top of me.
“I will always thank my donor because he gave me a chance to take care of you and protect you with my life.”
He leaned forward and gave me a thorough kiss on thelips. After the kiss, I looked into his eyes lovingly.
“You are my guardian angel in human form, Hunter. You may be wingless… but you’re just as magnificent, just asbeautiful as an angel would be. I love you.”
“I love you more.” he said gently kissing my lips again.
I raised a brow at him.
“Really? How could you be sosure that you love me more?”
He gave me a playful grin.
Then in a serious voice, hesaid, “Because I traded my wings just to be with you,beautiful.”
As we kissed again under the stars and the lovers’moon, I vowed to prove him wrong.
I have the rest of ourlives to show him that I love him… exactly as much as heloves me.
