Close Your Eyes For Me.

There was Lisa and Jared. They were really close to each other. They're not married, but they live together. They were orphans, actually. Jared and Lisa was really in love.

Jared would do anything for Lisa, just to show her how much he loves her. He'd shout out in public, he'd carry her on his back if she's tired to walk. You name it, he'd do it for Lisa. That really proves how much he loves her.

Everybody around the neighborhood hated Lisa. She's handicapped, she's blind. People around them doesn't like people with less skills very much.

But no matter what, they still lives happily together. Jared always told her that he'd find someone to donate his or her eyes to Lisa. Lisa hold up to that promise that Jared had made.

Days go by, weeks go by, months go by, years go by. It has been 3 years that they've been together, deeply in love. In all those while, they have been through all the bitter sweet moments in life. But they keeps on going through.

The fights and all, but they were really in love. Sometimes they made a promise to each other, that they wont leave each other. Jared took care of Lisa. Even though Lisa's condition wasn't that bad, but her activities were unlimited.

Jared took care of the bills, rent, and all the payments that they should have to do. Lisa was an artist. She's a blind artist. How awesome was that? Her paintings sells, but that could only help for the extra incomes or for emergency causes.

They are not that poor, still. They still could spend the money they earned for leisure. One day, while they went out for a special dinner, which was on their anniversary, Lisa said to Jared, "Dear, I love you very much.". "I love you too, darl." Jared replied.

"I'd marry you if I could see again, dear...." Lisa continued.

Weeks after that night, Jared came home from work with a good news for Lisa. The good news was, there is a guy who would donate his eyes to Lisa. Excited about the news, Lisa hugged Jared and kissed him. Imagine how happy Lisa was that moment.

"Dear, please don't ever leave me?" Jared asked Lisa. "Silly, why would I leave you? I am happy with you. I love you, Jared. YOU~ don't leave me." Lisa replied.

The next day, Lisa was brought to the hospital. She was admitted to stay at the ward, she was about to be prompted for the eye transplant. That was the last day that Lisa have been together with Jared.

Weeks passed. Lisa was still staying in the hospital. She have to heal up, before she could go back home. Lisa was really excited to fully healed up, so that she could see again.

A month and a half after that, Lisa was fully healed. She was discharged from the hospital. Before she went home, a nurse came to her and passed her a note. The note was from Jared. Lisa asked the nurse, what about the charges for the hospital? "It has been taken care of." the nurse said and smiled.

Looking at the note, it was in Braille, because that's the only writing that Lisa could read. The note says,


"Meet me at the coffee shop, just around the corner, close to the hospital. I'll see you as soon as u get out. Love, -Jared."

She went to the coffee shop as the note says. She was surprised to see that Jared is blind! The saddest thing happened to Jared. Lisa broke up with him. She said she couldn't be together with him because he's blind. She left the coffee shop. Before she left, Jared told her something.

Few seconds after that, Lisa heard a bang. An accident has occurred at the corner. A man was hit by a bus. All that she can hear was "OHH my God!!" from people around there. She rushed to the crowd, and she found out that the man that was hit by the bus was, JARED. He died instantly.

....

Lisa was really crushed. She went from a happy girl to this quiet girl. She couldn't stop thinking about him, the one who took care of her all this since. She remembered what Jared told her before she left the coffee shop, few moments before Jared died.

"Thanks for the memories. Please take care of my eyes. I'll always be with you, my love."

Those were the last words that Lisa heard from Jared.

END.
