BENJAMIN|| 02

"The tumor is getting bigger and more dangerous now"

Sophia listened to his words carefully and sat straight back with hands placed on her thighs and her curly locks straight on her back.

The straightness of her calm eyebrows did not change and she gazed into a pair of wide black eyes with short, pronounced eyelashes.

A year ago I realized that there was a tumor in a sensitive area of the brain.

Panic, shock and amazement with bewilderment about what she will do in the future.

That day she had a disturbance of emotions and could not confirm how she really felt،

The trauma of getting sick...

The panic of leaving this life...

Confusion about her future in training and dancing...

She worries about her brother Wilbur and what he will do if she leaves him...

She may have seemed very normal to everyone over the past year, but there is still a feeling like a thorn stuck in her heart.

Discomfort and constant thinking....

It took her a whole year to come to terms with herself and accept that she was ill and could soon die.

Perhaps in the dying moments you will regret this year spent thinking and worrying...

David blinked for a moment as she exchanged calm glances with him before crossing his arms at his chest.

"Are you sure you don't want a resection?""

Hearing his words made her heart contract and her fingertips trembled slightly.

Maybe she accepted the idea that she was sick, but there was still a fear of death.

It was said that the tumor area is very sensitive and the removal process is complicated and dangerous.

The success rate is low and you can die on the operating bed.

The fact that the date of her death is unknown comforts her more than scheduling an operation and worrying all the time and thinking about whether it will be successful or not.

What if she really died

It's like setting an end-of-life date and it scares her.

She wanted to live in a good way until the end and never think that she would die on a certain date.

She does not want to put a day that will determine her fate.

When she lowered her eyelashes covering half of her eyes David sighed and his thick fingers grabbed a pen and scribbled on a sheet of paper in front of him.

"During this period, your physical and sensory efficiency may change, you will feel weak sometimes. Sometimes you won't feel your limbs, and it can affect your eyesight too."

"....."

He clearly heard her taking trembling breaths but still very calm and she raised her eyes to him with a calm smile resembling a breeze with the smell of spring.

Despite her obvious fragility, this girl has strength in the face of life's challenges.

It's like a flower blooming in the middle of a storm. He still remembers vividly the pallor of her skin like paper when she heard about her illness and she did not visit him for three months after that.

But in the end, she received these afflictions with a strong and generous spirit.

He took a quick glance that made him stop, but he soon lowered his gaze and returned to writing.

"This new prescription, make sure you take medication regularly and don't overwork yourself with training.

You should rest as much as possible."

She gave him a nod and raised both hands, politely taking the paper. There was a superficial contact with the tips of his fingers and he clearly felt how it was extremely cold, as if she was in an icy room despite the mild room temperature.

He was silent for a moment, watching her black hair, which scattered over her shoulders and covered the sides of her face, and then he tried to comfort her a little.

"It's okay, medications can alleviate these symptoms."

She threw her eyes at him when he spoke and hurried to take out her phone, her white fingers are slender with a slight swelling of the limbs, the nails are clean and tidy, she writes slowly.

'Thank you'

The automated voice was very far from her soft smile as she stared at him and her eyes were not without sincere gratitude and a soul radiating warmth.

He nodded without saying anything and left his office afterwards. With the sound of the door closing came a sigh and David shook his head helplessly.

Think that she is a thin woman, it is unfair to get sick, but the disease does not distinguish anyone.

It's a painful fact of life.

Sophia inserted her hands into the pocket of her coat and exhaled, releasing a very dull mist due to the cold weather outside.

When I looked down through the hospital window there were several patients being discharged by nurses and some of them couldn't even move.

Scenes like this make her realize that she is lucky to be able to dance and walk freely without needing anyone to strain her.

She smiled gratefully and had to go home to prepare herself for the party this evening.

.

.

.

She stood in front of the mirror with a still short body even when she wore high heels. The skirt is black narrow-breasted and short puffy shoulders with a bulge at the waist up to mid-calf.

Her hair was carefully arranged and her skin looked white with a beautiful pallor and the appearance of vessels at the neck in a very pale blue color imparts an imaginary tenderness and fragility.

She left her features natural without cosmetics and stood for a long time staring at herself with her heart beating like a drum.

She has always banned VIP parties and still gets nervous every time she goes because Benjamin is there.

In fact, you don't always see him, there are parties where you come back disappointed because of his absence.

But this concert is special because she will hear his voice for the first time, she has always watched him only from afar.

Eventually she took a deep breath and exhaled softly before she took her steps to bed and picked up her phone, sending a message to Wilbur, he's heading to the airport now.

'I'm going to the party now.'

'Drive slowly and send a message every hour. Even if I don't ارد I'll make sure you text every hour when I get off the plane.'

His response was so quick it made her lips smile and her little white teeth appeared.

She helplessly shook her head and sent her consent over the phone. His intense concern for her makes her feel that she is very precious to him.

She took her small bag, put the key to the house and her phone, then took her coat and left the house, heading for her pink car.

The moment I got in the car and started it after I put on the seat belt, a text message tone came.

'Sophie, I'm at the party now. When you get there, call me, I'll stay somewhere you can see.'

She was her best friend, with whom she had grown up and knew all her secrets....

When she wanted to reply, another message arrived, full of malicious facial expressions.

'You have to be prepared, because Benjamin is very handsome tonight.'

She raised her eyebrows and couldn't control her smile at the mere mention of his name. There was a cute blush on her cheeks as she corrected what she saidcredit: Instagram

'Benjamin is always handsome'

'Oh look at this girl who's defending him right now.'

Her letters were filled with laughing expressions that made Sophia's shoulders shake with a chuckle so faint that the voice so faint sounded like an illusion.

Credence's messages made her so excited to go to the concert that she left the phone and started the car. The road was not crowded and she quickly arrived at the concert venue and gave the key to the car to the worker so that he could park it.

She was already going to call credence, but as soon as she entered, the voice of a man with a deep hoarseness exuding an adult male hormone penetrated her ears.

Her shoulders stiffened and she stopped at the door while her hands held the phone and raised her head to the podium in front.

The man stood in a dark gray tuxedo with a light gray undercoat. His broad shoulders and solid chest with a narrow waist and extremely long legs stood out with a hint of lust.

He slipped his hand into the pocket of his gray trousers and moved the luxurious clock hand with his hand, making a sound that scattered in the air.

With the other hand he held the wide drink glass between his rough knuckles and his dark brown hair covered half of his forehead and the other half was pulled back neatly .

His bronze skin and thick straight eyebrows send a hint of alienation and isolation, with a pair of narrow hazel eyes she looked as if she had never known passion.

"Thank you for attending the celebration of the fifth anniversary of the founding of Lumina. We have come a long way, but we are still looking forward to more challenges and achievements in the future. We promise you that we will continue to work hard and diligently to achieve further successes and innovation.

Enjoy the party."

His voice is like calm waves on a deserted beach, wrapping around her heart and caressing it again and again, inadvertently causing her cheeks to blush and her eyes fixed on him unable to pull them out.

Her eyes followed him as black as ink until he came down from the podium and did not even pay attention to the sounds of applause.

His steps were big and his features did not carry any expressions.

His voice still permeates her ears. Two years have passed and this was the first time I heard his voice. It's like the surface of a lake with a dark black bottom without any end.

"Sophia, pull yourself together, Swan."

Her shoulders flinched when Credence suddenly grabbed her and the sound of her merry laughter made her cheeks feel hot and she turned shy of what she had just done.

She didn't realize she was almost eating it with her eyes until Credence woke her up.

She shook her head slightly and looked at the girl, who was laughing with pleasure and her eyes were beautiful and clear honey. Her skin is an attractive brunette and her hair is light yellowish brown.

She possessed a perfect body being a model and wore a tight red skirt reaching mid-thigh.

She seemed to suit her with an air of confidence and natural arrogance.
