Harry finally agreed. The very next day I filled in a few forms in hope that she would choose one but then she came to me and told me that she wanted to travel all by herself. So off she went with ambition in her eyes, which never wavered even the slightest. Things were going smoothly but then we found out that Harry was in the last stage of cancer when she suddenly fained one day, we then realised that she hid it from us and why she suddenly started covering her head. We were against her travelling any further in that condition but her eyes refused to give up. We couldn't do anything other than watch her leave on her one last trip, her mother blamed herself and I once again became a ran away like a coward at the thought of losing her. After her last travel adventure, we admitted her in a hospital.....on the last day, she pulled me close to her and softly whispered in my ear "I'm sorry that I couldn't bring myself to love you. But I want every part of you, the Adam who is normal, the Adam who puts me before himself, the Adam who is full of life, the Adam who never let's anyone see him cry but then goes to the riverside to cry his heart off, the Adam who teases me, the Adam who never holds anything back to make people happy, the Adam who I secretly admire. You decided I was good before I was good..... I thought I was coming in terms with this year's ago but I'm really not good at goodbyes..haha.... Take good care of Ray for me, will you."
Adam continued "Some things are easier to carry when you keep them to yourself, or so I thought but Ray said this to me one day
'I hope you heal from the things you don't talk about.', which made me realise that asking for help is the bravest thing one can do and so I'm what I have learnt that day." Then he patted Ray's head with fatherly affection in his eyes.
Ella and Sion reached Adam's cabin and stayed the night. The next day they gazed at the Arora lights, the gentle breeze moving subtly as they wrapped themselves in a single shawl, with Ella's head resting on Sion's shoulder. Ella looks up at Sion and says "In our life we have soo much to gain but much more to loose." Sion replied " You know I picked this up somewhere 'If today's no good, you'll have tommorow, if tommorow's no good, you'll have the next day, if that's no good, there will be another, there's always a tommorow' and I know in my heart that I'm willing to be by your side, no matter what you do." and gave a soft little peck on her forehead.
They bid their farewell to Adam and Ray the next morning. As they were leaving Ray held Ella's hand and gave her a small book and said " This belongs to my mom, she wrote all about her travels, the do's and don'ts, I thought you might need this more than I do." with a sweet cheerful smile. Ella nodded her head and pulled her in for a hug and told her that she would visit her again someday.
