It's night again and I woke up from my deep slumber. Being a moonflower was never easy since I had to work at night instead of morning, unlike others. I was never the type to complain but I did have my likes and dislikes of being one ever since I got to meet you that night.

When I first met you, you looked very worn out as you sat down on the bench. I watched you behind the tree as you let out a sigh and dropped your head down in frustration. You closed your eyes and I couldn't really tell if you were sleeping or thinking about something. I didn't know how to approach you so I just placed a can of juice for you which I got for myself from the convenience store and walked away.

The next night, I saw you again at the same bench. This time, I sat down as well. We didn't talk and just looked at the moon shining brightly. Your condition didn't seem better so I left another can of juice for you before I left again. I was not sure if you even drank it but I knew that you needed it.

It was on the third day that we started talking. It began with you thanking me for the drinks that I had left and we introduced each other briefly. I did leave out the part that I was a moonflower. We didn't talk after that and just enjoyed each other's presence. Just like that, I left and you continued sitting on the bench.

As nights passed by, we became closer and closer. You shared me things that went on during the day and I listened. You told me that you had been feeling better these days and I was glad to know that. It soon became a night routine for us to meet on this bench.

One night, you brought up why you hadn't seen me in the morning. I remembered how the conversation went. It wasn't smooth but it didn't end badly.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

"So, you are what again?"

I stared at you who was looking at me with curious eyes.

"A moonflower."

"A flower."

I nodded and told you that moonflowers bloom at night thus the reason why I was only out at night. You looked pretty confused but you just shrugged.

"No wonder you are beautiful. You are a flower after all."

I didn't know why that made my heart skip a beat. I felt really happy when I learnt that you thought of me that way.

"How about I share a secret with you too?" you started and I listened to you attentively.

"I can only come out at night too."

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

I didn't really understand what you meant by that but you changed the topic soon after so I guessed that it must be something personal.

The night after that, you didn't come to the bench and I was really worried. I waited till the sun started to rise before I closed my petals to rest.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

You appeared the next night, looking even more tired than any other nights that we had met. You sat down and apologised to me for not coming yesterday.

"It's fine," I told you.

"No, I should have tried to come. You were waiting, weren't you?"

"I don't mind waiting if it's for you."

You turned to me and smiled. Your eyes were slightly lacking in colour but there were still sparkles inside. You looked pretty as usual under the moonlight and you held my hand like it's the most precious thing on earth.

"I have been feeling better ever since I had met you. Thank you."

Back then, I didn't really understand what you meant. I wished I did.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

I waited again for another night and you came but were struggling to walk. I got up from the bench immediately and rushed to you. You almost collapsed when I reached to you. Thankfully, I caught you in my arms.

You just grinned when I asked if you were fine. I could tell that you didn't want me to worry. I helped you sit on the bench and as I was about to let go of your hand, you grabbed it and tightened the grip.

"I want to hold your hand."

I hummed and sat down without letting your hand go. You intertwined fingers with mine and placed your head on my shoulder.

I sensed that something was wrong but you didn't seem to want to talk about it so I didn't ask. Silence was soon broken by you.

"Let's go somewhere."

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

You brought me to an old amusement park which was still open this late at night. You turned to me after buying the tickets.

"Let's have fun."

You pulled me along as you went to try the rides, not that you entirely enjoyed all of them. You were screaming at some and you were laughing like a kid at some. You looked like you were having the time of your life.

We soon got on our last ride which was the Ferris Wheel. As we got higher and higher, the view became more and more mesmerising.

"It's been long since I got to play like this," you breathed and I turned to you.

"I don't have time left and I am really thankful that you appeared in my life all of a sudden. Even though it been so short, you had somehow entered my heart," you continued.

You leaned in and paused as your lips were about to touch mine.

"May I?" you requested and without wasting another minute, I nodded.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

It was night again but I didn't wait for you at the bench. I followed the strong scent in the air which belonged to you. I looked up at the white building and entered the place.

I noticed people passing by here and there, minding their own businesses. I glanced at the two ladies at the reception and they seemed sleepy and busy so I decided to just rely on my sense of smell.

I went to the lift and guessed the floor that you might be in. Luckily, when I got off, the smell was stronger which meant that I was getting closer to you.

I soon reached the room where the smell was coming off the strongest from. I knocked on the door and entered. I studied the dimly lit room which only had the sound of the machine beeping filling up the room. I looked at the cans that I brought for you every night neatly arranged at the side and then at you who laid on the bed.

You must've noticed my presence from my footsteps because you shifted yourself to see me clearer. Even though your face was pale and body was weak, you still put on that beautiful smile of yours.

"I didn't want you to meet me like this," you chuckled weakly.

I grabbed a chair and sat down.

"Not like it's going to stop you from being beautiful."

You weren't expecting such comment from me and ended up blushing which made me smile. You moved a bit so that there was more space and patted on the bed.

I climbed onto it and laid close to you as you hugged me closer to your chest.

The two of us conversed like every other night and soon, you had grown tired.

"Do you want to sleep?"

You nodded and snaked your hand to hold mine.

"Not leaving?" you asked and I shook my head.

"Are you sure?" you asked.

"I am very sure."

I died everyday so that I could bloom to see you just like how you suffered to come and meet me every night. Nothing else mattered anymore.

Just like that, the two of us slept away until morning came and took us away.

~ The End ~
