Last Dance

It was just a simple story starting with the first step at their first dance, Swirling and swaying at that moment, it was mesmerizing it was like magic was around the air. Just like any other story they begone to know each other, love each other, face hardship with each other, and then got married starting a family of their own. A happy and simple life that starts with a dance.

One night, the lady was sitting peacefully on the terrace, feeling the fresh breeze of a cold night. Then, there is a man opening the door and entering the room. He went close to her wearing his beautiful smile and loving eyes toward his lovely wife on the terrace.

"Hi, my love. How are you? Feeling ok? hm??" the lady giggles a little then nods. The man slowly walks away and then plays a soft song for dancing "That's good. Then my lady would you like to have a dance with me?" his wife softly offers her hands towards him. They start dancing softly and slowly. A moment has past when a whimper came out. The man was losing his composure, while dancing he hold and hug his wife tightly.

"Don't leave me " He whispered to her. The moment the song stops they both slowly sit on the floor not removing their hold on each other. The lady rests her body on the man's body with a smile and she said

"We both know how much time I only have. I'm sorry that I will leave all of you, But I love you, and thank you for loving me too. It is because of you that I lived a happy life"

They both stayed and enjoyed the warmth of each other. they both talk to each other until the moment when they know it's the end. The lady starts to gradually disappear into thin air, only remaining her things. The moment she disappears, the room is filled with a sorrowful cry of him holding her remaining clothes.

She's a mystical creature, he's a human being. It is a forbidden love they form. The moment that she chooses to be together with him, her life force gradually disappears. the moment a mystical creature chooses to be with a human she cannot go back to her world. The likes of her cannot continue to live in the human world because it will cause them to lose their life. When she chooses to stay with him, she knows that her life will be the consequence but she accepts her fate just to stay. she hid this from him but when she only has a short time to live she finally tells him. At first, he couldn't accept this fact, it is hard for him to accept the thought of her death because of him. But they don't want to spend her remaining days in agony and regret so while she is alive they give her whatever she wishes for. She wishes that for her remaining week, she wants to be with her husband enjoying every second they have.

It's been a week since she passed away but still, he is devastated even after he expected it to happen. Two little children approach him, holding his big hand.

"Daddy" they both called him with the angelic voices that they inherit from their mother.

They were the gift that was entrusted by her to him when she disappears. Their children. the moment he came out of his sense and smiled at him, he squat and hug them tight. At that very moment a motivation has come and made him want to live even without his wife.
