Ch 2 - One Million Dollars

"You can donate it to the hospital. Do you want to do it right now?" Mary asks.

"Yes, it would better be done fast. I dont have much time." Just as I say that, a tear silently rolls down from Mary's eye.

"Okay, then. I think I shall leave now." The ward-boy says and leaves.

"I'll go and talk about the donation with the department head." Mary says and leaves too.

Then I think I will take a nap.

After trying to sleep for ten minutes, I realize that I can't. I am afraid if I sleep now, I may not wake up again.

This feeling of going-to-be-dead-in-some-hours is really strange. I already feel tired because of my illness and this feeling is making me go nervous.

I can't even talk to my family on my last day alive because of their hatred for me. They didn't hate me before, it just grew with time.

My parents work at a small company and earn enough. My younger sister, Mary has always seen me as a competitor.

Although my sister's name is also Mary, she doesn't even give me a fraction of the love the middle-aged nurse Mary gives me.

My sister Mary has always been good in studies and an introvert. Whilst I am bold and straightforward. Maybe that is a reason my parents love Mary and hate me.

That hate me enough to not see me on my last day alive...

Just as I was pondering about my family relations, Mary comes in with a young nurse.

Mary's red and swollen eyes make me feel really sad.

"Hello, Ms. Song. I am Lisa, nice to meet you." The young nurse introduces herself.

It has been some time that someone introduced themselves to me. I even know that ward-boy since he always goes around asking patients how do they do. It is part of his work as an intern.

"Oh, hi. Nice to meet you too." I reply and look over at Mary as to find some clue about what is going on.

Or maybe I get it, she must've come for discussing my funeral arrangements.

Lisa notices me looking at Mary confusingly and says, "I am here to bear witness to you donating the sum of money you won in the lottery. We really appreciate your action, Ms. Song." She passes a file to Mary.

"Oh yes, I want to donate the prize I have won in the lottery to the hospital." I say.

"I see. Then please sign in the file, Ms. Song and get ready for the Xebec Park!" Lisa gleefully says leaving me confused.

"Xebec Park?" I ask in surprise.

"Yes, ah- you may not have known but the prize includes a trip to the Xebec Park. Um.. Congratulations!" Mary informs me.

I am suddenly shocked. On my last day alive I get to go to the Xebec Park. It is the dream of every child to go there and even adults go there. And of course, I also wanted to go there but I am an adult now, I am 20 years old for God's sake and on my death bed.
