hanna did a small birthday celebration with her family members and the selected medical staff that assisting her throughout her medication and therapy. her celebration didn't last long since she need to rest and must avoid tiring herself.

"oh.. your up already?" jason said as soon as he saw her sister in her bed and looking again to her loptop. " hey.. are you watching those girls again?". he instantly got a death glare to his sister. he came back from dropping off her parents since he insisted to take their rest specially her mom who currently undergoing in sensitive pregnancy.

"how many times I told they are and not just a 'those girls' " hanna retorted. he casually sit next to his sister bed

"that's what I said.. those girls what do you want me to say those guys?" he tease and smile when he saw hanna flaring ears to him

"they have group name it's -"

"fine..fine.. jason calm his sister gradually joining her watching again the video message that they did to hanna. it was originally stored on hanna's left behind camera in korea that mr.hans gave to her month ago but her sister accidentally saw the pictures and video they done when she was about to transfer the memory content into her loptop. he actually like this group like his sister said their music is different to other idol group in korea and their vocal ranges is definitely outstanding, he really just like to tease hanna. "gosh.. look at that.. they're getting crazy" he commented when he saw the four girls singing and dancing playfully. he heard hanna small chortle to his words

"that's their charm" his sister defended, he casually shake his head. "I can't believe that dad was their major sponsors back then" hanna said in disbelief.

"did dad said why he suddenly support your favorite group?" jason ask but hanna shake her head. the video done playing and he saw hanna reaching the play button with shaky hand. day by day hanna's condition is getting worsens worser. she slowly losing her motor skills and her body is getting weaker. he can't help to feel pity to his older sister.

"let's stop watching, you tiring your eyes" he close the loptop and placed it in bedside table. he doesn't mind his sister objection to his action. "so tell me do you have now idea what gift do you want to receive from me?". jason asked out of the blue. he always ask hanna what she wanted to receive from him but she always say that she need to think it first.

"I want to watch-"

"aside from that.. you can do that anytime but of course in limited time only" he cut off hanna's words.every time he stop hanna from watching to her laptop she always said her wish in her birthday was free access to watch her favorite artist without limitation. hanna drop her shoulder and smug in front of him. "if you can't think now ill ask you again tomorrow" he continued

"no need I do have now"

"okey tell me" he excitedly ask

"portrait" he furrowed his eyebrows. "I want you to draw me a portrait. beautiful portrait" hanna said while smiling. he purse his lips and didn't answer to Hanna wish. " ok fine ill think another-"

"wait... let me call someone first" jason excuse himself to hanna and make way his way outside to her room but before leaving he put somewhere farther hanna's laptop. cause he know for sure she will try to watch some videos of her artist again. "haist! this kid yah~ jason~" he heard his sister whined before he totally exited to her room

"yes sir.jason?" the other line answered

"eey.. mr.hans dropped the honorific you make me look older." he jokingly said to paul

"you really same as your sister..fine why did you call Jay?"

"that's more I like it, I want to ask if you are busy right now?"

"im already out and im off to see your sister now, i'm just going to give my gift to her why? is there anything you want me to buy before I go to hospital?"

"nothing..glad you're going here how long does it take? I need to go somewhere and I don't want to leave hanna here alone"

"ah.. okey around 10mins ill be there"

"sure thank mr.hans" then jason dropped the call

meanwhile hanna fiddling her blanket after jason leave her room. she doesn't have to do aside from staring in blank space and self stretching her muscles. there's more than five minutes already when jason leave her room and she's starting to get bored without her laptop in front of her. her eyes lighten when she heard her door slide open

"jason why you took so long im getting bored~"

"you do?" she flustered when unexpected voice answered her.

" she immediately tease reason for mr.hans to chortle. she saw a basket of flower and paper bag in mr.hans hand. "what's that in paper bag?" paul placed first the basket of flower near in window table then pull out hanna's table over her bed

"happy birthday!" paul greet her and get the box inside of paper bag. "you said your bored so this is my gift" hanna dumbfounded when she saw what mr.hans present for her "don't give me a look like that. watch this" paul push something behind of teddy bear figure that standing then it's started to dance while a happy birthday song playing.

"oh~ cute!~" paul sees hanna face starting to gleam while her head following the rhythm to the bear dance.

"watch this". paul push again the button behind the teddy bear and it's immediately stop in dancing. he change the setting of teddy bear that place on left part feet and fish out his phone and connect it to the bear thru Bluetooth mode then push again the red button. he played 'and the toy started to dance base on the beat of the song. "you can play whatever song you want and this bear will dance according to beat." . he brag

"oh wow! nice!" paul smiling eyes slowly turning into sadness when he saw hanna's shaky hand trying to reached the gift he gave. he try to show a smile whenever hanna eyes landing on him. "where did you bought this?". he can't believe that a girl used to be bright was locked in this four corners of wall. " ahm.. mr.hans?" paul met hanna eyes that back him from a deep thought. "im asking where did you bought this?"

"ah.. actually it's still not out in the market.HJB will promoting that product.the head of toystall gave me this as a sample for evaluation" paul simply replied.

"wow that's nice, they made a great product" hanna commented while still enjoying to listen and watching the dancing bear in front of her.

"by the way mr.hans I have something favor to ask" paul turn off the music and switch off also the toy then place it in bedside table.

"sure what is it?" he seated in the chair near in hanna's bed

"you also know that my condition is not getting better right?" he didn't response but instead his hand formed into fist in his lap. "I did something small presents to my family and to my friends in korea, of course for you also" hanna shyly said. "you can get yours already but don't expect too much ok? it's just a little present" she continue

"okey fine" he smile but didn't reach his eyes. "so what do you want me to do?"

"if something bad happened to-"

"hanna. stop saying that. this is not the time to joke around" he seriously said

"mr.hans im not joking im stating the fact. I know myself, even if my doctors says I will get through with this but my body seems not accepting the treatments already. let's be real here mr.hans" paul chest suddenly tightened when he saw hanna tears fell. he immediately wipe it and tap the younger one back softly. "your one of the person I trusted to keep my secret and ask for a favor"

"okey fine..sorry but hanna can we just not talk about that?, now tell me what is your favor" he asked

"can you keep for the meantime my gift for my family and to my friends in korea then give it when the time comes?" paul nod without having a second thought. "you can get it in below part of my cabinet. I accompliance my therapist to secretly finish preparing that" he saw a five rectangular box with ribbon and named on top. he saw his name in one of the rectangular boxes

"should I look mine now?" hanna shake her head

"not here.. im embarrassed" he smile when he saw hanna suddenly blushed.

"okey ill open it alone" paul place the four boxes in used paper bag.

"by the way where's jason?, he said he'll call someone but he's still not here"

"im the person he called. he told me he need to go somewhere. he will be here in a minute don't worry" he assured her, they talked random things while waiting jason to come back

................

paul placed the paper bag in passenger seat and make his way to driver seat. as soon as Jason came back he stayed for another five minutes before he decided to bid his goodbye to bore siblings. he was about to start his engine when he decided to open hanna's gift to him

he untangled the ribbon and open the box then a quarter folded paper was the first thing he notice. it was a letter that hanna wrote for him.

HELLO

hello to my Guardian or should I say my big brother to other family?. tsk. I wish I could be your real sister so I can proudly introduce you to anyone without saying a lie.

I just want to say thank you for all your efforts,care and having a long strand of patience to me. I know you think sometimes or it's most of the times that im stubborn, dense and collective person but you don't know how you slowly change my daily routine in life. your cooking skills made me to gain weight and appreciate all the food served in front of me. your knock every morning to my room is my cue to move fast, your non-stop reminder makes my day more organize and your nag that i keep as a lesson to my life.

I know you may smiling in front of me but behind those smiles is a person hiding with a shattered glass pierced in heart . stop blaming yourself mr. hans my Destiny brought me here and not you. the more I see you in smile with those sadden eyes makes me more guilty. I want you to smile like a person I captured in my camera by this I can peacefully leave this wonderful world without regretting for leaving my love ones in dark hole sadness. be happy and healthy, stay handsome, get married and have a beautiful daughter like me.

p.s thank you again and i guess this is my goodbye.

from your cute sister

hanna

then he picked the picture frame inside the box that showing it's back from him. he eventually let his tears to flow that he actually holding for too long.he saw how free spirited his smile in the picture while he was driving. if he wasn't mistaken it was captured when he was going to drop off hanna in bus station to meet up her friends. can he smile again just like a man in this picture?. can he really be the person that hanna wanted?. he bit his lower lip to hold himself for sobbing. if it's that what hanna wanted he will try his best to be one.

...........

meanwhile after mr.hans bid his goodbye on them jason started to assemble the things he bought in stationary store

"you really bought those things just to do my portrait?" hanna ask him in amazement

"yeah.. your my first model even though many people wanted me to draw them. so be honoured that I choose you" he brag while he fixing his sister clothes and hair

"wow.. thank you and im honoured" jason promise to himself that he will make his sister more beautiful than she is in her portrait.

"ready?" he asked then hanna smile and nod at him
