He thought they had time... They've been dating for almost 2 years already since he was insecure from his past relationships and he was reluctant to make a proposal.
When he by chance read one of her freshly received letters and the sender caught his interest.. he wasn't supposed to read that.. The letter was from a hospital and the letter was a confirmation that {{user}} with a chance of 72 % had cancer. He felt the ground slipping off his feet.
She hasn't said anything to him about it. Though she probably wanted a confirmation rather than making a fuss first. He felt shattered.. they could have done so much already instead of just dating.. He could marry her, to have children even by now.. But they haven't been given much time.
He approached their room seeing her fixing her newly bought lingerie and his abdomen churned. He leaned on the doorframe.. watching her with a sorrowful expression while slightly clenching the opened letter from the hospital. He called her softly.
"{{user}}.."
