She stood up and come towards his bed, she grabbed his hand and handed over that diary to him. It is a beautiful emerald green diary decorated with seashells and pearls.“What is it?” He asked moving his fingers all over that diary.“My secret” She replied staring at him with a painful smile on her face“It’s a book?” He asked“But this cover feels different, he said while trying to picture out that cover, in his mind.“Of course… It’s unique” she said.“Just like you” he added with a smile.“Oho… Mr Crybaby is smiling today” she chuckled, trying to tease him.“Why are you in a hospital, What happened to you?” he asked as he is trying to change the topic.“Because I am sick” She replied in a plain voice.“I know that much…” he is annoyed with her answer.“Then… congratulations, you’re smart” she chuckled again.“… You…” he got more annoyed.They both stopped talking for a minute atmosphere there, became so quiet but then suddenly…“You must be too pretty,” he said out of the blue, his facial expressions were changed.“Hein….
