"Time doesn't heal anything. It just teaches us how to live with the pain." - Itachi

As Haru combed Callista's hair, she suddenly spoke.
"Sister Haru, are you happy to live long?" Haru stopped combing Callista's hair. Because she did not know what to say to the young girl, back then, she wanted to die.
"Actually, Callista, back then I wanted to disappear from this world. I wanted to follow my mom after her death. But everything I experienced was a test. Ever since I met your older brother, I found out that it was fun to live." Haru smiled and continued combing Callista's hair. 
"You, Callista, do you still want to see around  you?"
"Even if I want to, it seems like there is no hope." She said sadly.
"But what if someone donated an eye to you, what would you do?" Callista thinks for a moment before answering.
"If there is, I will probably be the happiest person again around the world. That's a huge help for me, and I won't be staying up in my own room."
"What if you were given the opportunity to talk to your eye donor? What would you say to him/her?" Callista turned to Haru and spoke.
"If I can talk to whoever it is, I will be thankful again and again and I will tell her that I will take care of her eyes." Haru smiled at what Callista said and hugged her tightly, but she was immediately remove when she felt the headache as if it were torn and even included abdominal pain.
"Arghhh." 
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Callista asked Haru when she heard Haru moan. 
"I'm fine, Callista." She tried to hide the pain from Callista so that she wouldn't worry, but because she was feeling the pain so much, she fell on the chair, and Callista was shocked.
"Sister, sister, What's happening? Where are you, sister Haru?" Callista searched for where Haru was until she felt Haru's body.
"Are you all right, sister?" Callista asked and she started crying. Haru closed her eyes tightly and held Callista's hands.
"Shhhh... S-stop crying Callista I'm fine. Arrggghhh..."
"Sister, you're not okay, you're not fine." Callista tried Haru to stand up even though she couldn't see anything.
"Omy, What Happened?" The door of the house suddenly opened and Katelyn was shocked when she saw Haru writhing in pain and her daughter was crying.
"Mommy... Mommy... Sister Haru, help her please, I don't know what happened to her, mommy."
"Hey, Haru are you okay? Haru?" Haru didn't answer, only she moaned because of the pain she was feeling right now. 
"Mommy, what happened to sister Haru?" Callista asked her mother while she was crying.
"Stay there, Callista. I'll take your sister Haru's medicine." Katelyn immediately took Haru's medicine and gave it to her.
"Are you okay now, Haru?" Katelyn helped her to sit on the sofa and then she supported her daughter to sit too. Haru grabbed Callista's hands and hugged her tightly.
"Shhh... C-callista, I'm fine." She said and looked at Katelyn.
"I didn't what happened to you, but thanks to mom she came. I was scared earlier, sister Haru." Haru wiped away Callista's tears.
"Do you have a disease?" Haru couldn't answer because of Callista's question and she looked at Arche's mother to ask for help.
"Callista, your sister Haru, didn't have  an illness." 
"But why-" Katelyn didn't let her daughter finish speaking because she grabbed Callista's hand to stand up. 
"Callista,  your sister Haru needs to rest, I sent you to your room," Katelyn said and they left in front of Haru. While Haru breathed deeply and burst her tears.
On the other hand, Arche is worried because they don't know where Haru is.
"Nicole, don't you really know where Haru is?" Nicole stopped eating because of Arche's question.
"She texted earlier that aunt Emma took her to the province. She didn't say when she would be back here." Nicole didn't look at Arche as she said these words. Jasper, Jayson, and Nikki look at Nicole because they know Nicole is hiding Haru and they know Nicole know where is Haru.
"Why isn't she texting me?"
"Because auntie Emma she doesn't want Haru to always use gadgets." Nicole said again and stopped eating.
"Excuse me, I'm  going to the bathroom."
Nicole said and she stood up from her seat and quickly walked away from them. She reached the edge of the hospice and sat down under the tree that was here and the tears she was holding back slowly fell.
"Nicole," Nikki called Nicole name and approached her.
"Shhh... Whatever your problem with Haru, I'm just here."
"I-I'm not ready to lose her, Nikki. I'm not ready to leave here, because of the time I've been with her, I consider her as a sister... I felt so much pain because first, my mom left me, now Haru was leaving me alone. Any time she disappeared, she would disappear... The pain... The pain here, Nikki. I felt so much pain." She pointed to her heart. Nikki hugged her and made her lie down on her chest. 
"I don't know what to do anymore... I thought I was ready about to feel this kind of pain... I thought I could hide everything from them. I thought I could take care her and protect her... I thought everything I was doing was right."
"I know it's hard for you, Nicole."
"I want to die too! I hope I'm the one who got cancer and not her!" Nicole cried as Nikki hugged her with pity. While not far from them, Jasper and Jayson looked at them. 
"All the people around her, they think Nicole haven't a serious problem but it is all a lie." Jayson said and looked at Jasper who was still quietly looking at his love one who was crying far away.
"She's like Haru, she's good at hiding what they really feel. She's good at hiding the problem to not hurt the people who are important around them."
"I thought I could take away the pain she was feeling, but not, because she's the one to take away the pain she was feeling right now." Jayson smiled sparingly at this and patted Jasper's shoulder, then left it to go back to their colleagues.
