My boyfriend's childhood sweetheart cosplayed as Jesus, accepting my sincere prayer for a whole hour.

After the laughter revealed the joke, she clutched her stomach and collapsed into my boyfriend Sergio Smith's arms, while his group of rowdy friends rushed out to join the chaos.

I lowered my gaze, watching the statue I had painstakingly brought being tossed around and kicked on the ground, feeling numb.

Seeing Sergio in the crowd, laughing loudly, I felt a wave of pity.

What Sergio did not know was that the one truly afflicted was him.

Day and night, I prayed to Jesus, hoping he could live a little longer.

***

This was the fifth year of my relationship with Sergio.

Two months ago, Sergio was diagnosed with late-stage cancer.

To help him maintain an optimistic attitude in battling the illness, I deliberately hid this from him.

I lied and said I was sick, asking him to accompany me to the hospital for check-ups and to exercise and keep a healthy routine together.

At first, Sergio was happy to do these things with me.

However, once his friends learned that he was spending every day doing this with me, he started to change.
