Between Loved and Dilemma

By : Anne April

There was a girl who lived in a small town. People called her, Rosie. The girl was very pretty. She was white and slim, and she had long straight hair. She had a best friend. His name was Dido. They had been friends since childhood. They even went to same college. One day, in the dusky afternoon, Rosie was sitting and reading her book. While she was reading, she heard some footsteps. she was surprised when she saw her bestfriend, Dido, bringing a bouqete. He said,’ this bouqete shows my feelings for you. I want to be your boyfriend.’ Rosie was confused. She was in dilemma. She wanted to be his girlfriend, but she was afraid. She had once been hurt in a relationship.

Knowing about her past, Dido didn’t give up his feelings for Rosie. He still came to her and expressed his feelings for her. Until one day, Dido became ill. He was lying weak in the hospital . He was suffering from Leukemia. He was in pain. He needed to have blood transfusion as soon as possible. However, the hospital was out of supply. Unfortunately, Dido’s family were not with him at that moment. His parents were out of town for a family matter.

Rosie heard about the news. She ran quickly to see Dido at the hospital. She did everything she could to help him. She looked after him while trying hard to get some blood. One morning, Dido woke up. Rosie asked him,” why didn’t you tell me that you had a disease?”. Dido replied,’ I didn’t want your pity on me. I want you to accept me as your boyfriend without feeling sorry with my condition.” Rosie responded that she actually did like him and wanted him to be her boyfriend. “It was just my past relationship, I become doubtful to have another relationship. But now, I want you to be strong and get cured.” Dido smiled and promised that he wouldn’t hurt her and tried to get recovered from his illness soon.

In the end,  Dido was healthy and he left the hospital with his parents. Since then, Rosie had her faith back on relationship. She and Dido had become a happy couple and they always spent time for doing a lot of things together.
