Making memories is important to others.
___________________________
Now, today is Haru's birthday, and this is what Carmen, Tyler, and Nicole really don't want because they know in themselves that they will only have a few hours or days to hide what they know from everyone. Tyler looked around and here he saw the laughing Nikki and their colleagues in the hospice, his gaze turned to Arche's father and Katelyn's current wife, who was grilled, then his gaze turned to Katelyn and Callista, that the mother and daughter were playing happily, and last, he turned his gaze back to Nicole and Jasper were watching sadly looking at Arche and Haru, who were laughing happily.
"Are you hurting too?"
Tyler immediately looked at the person speaking next to him.
"What if I say yes, can you do anything?"
"Maybe, I don't know."
 
"Arche, take a picture of me here, faster!" Haru shouted loudly at Arche, and she stood facing the river. Arche immediately took a picture of her, and they happily looked at the photos.
"Happy birthday Haru!"
"Happy birthday, daughter."
Carmen and Tyler looked at each other at the same time when they heard the shout of Freya and Kean approaching Arche and Haru. Arche quickly stood up so he could give Kean, Freya, and Haru some time. Arche approached where his father was.
"Good boy," when Amelia saw Arche, she greeted him while Arche just smiled at the old woman and went straight to where his father was.
"Haru, why did you want to celebrate your birthday here?"
"Because when I didn't meet Arche and you, this place witnessed my sorrows, so now that it's my birthday, I want this place to witness how happy I am to have you all here with me."
Carmen and Tyler heard Freya and Haru talking as they sat on the bench not far from where Carmen and Tyler were sitting on the grass.
"Haru, I do not let you feel the sadness you felt before. Your brother and I promised you never feel that again."
"I would like to ask something."
"What is it? Just for my little sister, I will do it."
Kean suddenly said, Tyler and Carmen are just listening to their conversation even though they can't see their faces because they are turned away from them.
"When Tyler takes me to America, can we all bond here again before that day? I want to leave them with happy memories while I heal there." Tyler took a deep breath because of what he heard from Haru.
"Of course,"
Carmen stood up quietly and approached Nicole, and she helped her mother Emma stand up at the same time, and they approached where Haru was sitting.
"I'll take the three of you a picture. Mom, Nicole, stay there on the side first. I'll take pictures of three of them first." Carmen said, and she adjusted the camera she was holding and pointed it at them.
"One, two, three, smile."
Big smiles flashed on Freya, Haru, and Kean.
 
"Mom and Nicole joined them."
Kean stood up and made Emma sit on the bench between Emma and Freya. Haru was sitting in the center of them. Kean and Nicole positioned themselves behind the three.
"One, two, three, smile."
Carmen repeatedly takes pictures of them because she is happy with the smiles she sees until Tyler stands up and approaches them and he takes Carmen’s holding camera.
"Come with them. I'll take you a picture with them."
Carmen quickly stood behind Haru and stood next to Nicole.
"I want a big smile to see all of you guys, okay? Ready."
As Tyler said a big smile he saw to all of them. He repeatedly takes pictures of them.
"Can come with them?" Nikki shouted and Tyler was nodded so all their companions ran towards them.
"Aunt Katelyn, Callista, Mr. Harrison, grandma Amelia, Mr. Martin, Arche, Jayson and Jasper, joined them."
Tyler called the other comrades who immediately ran to where they were. Arche and Jasper immediately help Amelia.
"It's done." Tyler announced when he had already done taken the pictures of them.
"Joined us, Tyler." Haru's sudden said, Tyler smiled and he took the stand for the Camera and he fitted it with a timer to capture them all.
"Happy Birthday Haru!" everyone greeted Haru at the same time. And they ate at the same time.
"Ms. Carmen, do you have a new book to be released today?"
 In the middle of their meal, one of their companions suddenly asked. Carmen looked at Haru and here their eyes met Haru nodded at her while Carmen turned her gaze back to Samantha who asked her.
"Yes," everyone was reacted but they immediately looked back at Carmen when Carmen spoke again.
"Actually the books you read. The truth was-"
Carmen stopped speaking because Haru cut off what she was supposed to say. As Jasper and Nicole looked at each other.
"Carmen, you should be the first to tell us about this. When you have a new story to publish, we want to be the first to read and buy your book."
All the volunteers at the hospice agreed with what Haru said and Carmen was just smiled.
The afternoon came, Haru still wanted to wait for the sunset but was not possible because she need to go back to the hospice and also had to go back to Kean and Freya in hospice.
From a distance, Tyler looked at Haru as Arche pushed the wheelchair away. Until he lost sight of all who had been with them earlier. He faced the river and he took a small stone and threw them into the water. He did this over and over until someone spoke from behind him.
"Haven't you going to the hospital now?"
Carmen stood beside him and picked up a rock and mimicked what Tyler was doing.
"I wanted to spend an hour here and I don't have a schedule at the hospital right now. You? Why don't you go with them? I'm sure Nikki and her companions won't tell others about you."
"I saw you here so I didn’t follow them. Why did you do that earlier?"
Tyler threw first the only rock he was holding into the water before asking Carmen.
"What do you mean?"
"You volunteer to take us the picture."
"Should there be a reason? Why did you do that too?"
"Because I want them to have a family picture and also I want Nicole and my mom to have a photo with Haru.
Silence prevailed between the two until Tyler's phone vibrate, he took it out of his pocket and read the text and he just breathe deeply because of what he read. Out of curios Carmen took Tyler's phone from Tyler's hand and looked and read who and what was in the text. She covered her mouth in shock and could not stop her tears from dripping from her eyes.
"Why? Why?"
Carmen asked in a low tone, Tyler took his phone from Carmen's hand and no words came out of its mouth.
"Why?! Why Tyler?"
Carmen asked again, instead of Tyler answering her, Tyler handed her a handkerchief which she immediately accepted.
They remained sitting on the grass for more than two hours. Tyler stood up when he made sure Carmen was okay.
 
"If you're okay now, leave this place and go to Haru. Be careful. What you read and saw that text forget it because it won't happen. I will make a way to make it easier for her to go to America and if that doesn't happen. I will seek temporary treatment for her." Tyler said and leaves Carmen but he stops because of what Carmen said.
"Promise? Will you do everything we can to be with her for a long time? Promise me Tyler that you will do everything for her so we can be with her for a long time."
Even though Tyler didn't want to promise the girl, he just nodded.
"Yes, promise."
He last said and left the girl alone. He promised someone even though there was no guarantee that he would be able to do that thing.
