Waiting for love, Naji Kadri [graded readers .txt] 📗

making furniture and mattresses. One day, Stan decided to take a look for John’s work in the company. He saw John and he looked so tired and dizzy. John was not looking okay so he decided to take him to the hospital. The doctor checked on John and then headed towards Stan to say, “Mr. Duncan, John is very sick and he needs to be in the hospital. Sorry Stan, but he is in a very dangerous condition and he could die at any day from now.” Stan’s heart broke into pieces that his only true friend is going to die, and leave Stan alone. He keeps faith, but John is ninety years old and he is very old and he may not survive from the disease.

Everyday Stan visits John to check up on him, and he brings him flowers. The next three weeks, he went to the doctor to ask about John’s condition. The doctor said, “Mr. Duncan, John need a very difficult heart surgery, and there are 20% chances it will work. Do you want to risk and do it for John?” Stan needed to think about it before he make any move, “and what if he can’t do this surgery?” “Then John would live for extra three months or if he did it and didn’t work he would live as I said three months or extraordinary conditions die in few days.” Stan was depressed and furious, his emotions was messed up. That day he went to his father to ask him for advice about the surgery. The father was wise man and told his son, “Its then depends on you. You are his friend and no one can save him or have the right decision expect you. I know it’s hard to do, but everyone is going to die someday. It is destiny, but that don’t mean you must give up on him, and remember that whatever what happens to him he will love you and he will never forget you.” Stan hugged his father tight and took a deep long breathe.

The next day, after deep thinking all night long, he made his decision. Stan decided to make the surgery for John, because he can’t stand living alone without his best friend. Stan waited outside the surgery room waiting for the doctor comes out with the results. The surgery took six hours but then the doctor finally got out. “Congrats! The surgery was successful and now John can get out of the hospital after three days.” Said the doctor, and Stan got lunatic. Stan felt good, then better, happy, amazing, wonderful, then at last incredible!

Unexpected but expected

Since the surgery, Stan spends all the time hanging out with John. He eats with john, he talk with John, and he plays with john, everything he does, John is involved in it. One day, it was a wonderful day indeed, so Stan decided to go to the park with John and have a nice picnic together. There they rode a bicycle and ate sandwiches and laughed on each other’s jokes. John got tired so he told Stan to sit on the bench to have a talk. “I have spent a wonderful time since I saw you,” said John. “Oh you really do?” said Stan with glee. “Yes, you are a young brave man, confident and a good person. I’m very old now, and you don’t know at which moment I could die. I want you to remember three tips in life: first, don’t get sad when someone you care about dies, you must know its destiny and you can’t change it. Second, always never miss a chance to say I love you to the persons you love. Last but not least, live your life at full, you never knows when you are going to die.” Then after few chats, Stan and John went back home.

“Yes, that what John said, and I still miss him” said Stan, after three days of the picnic. John passed away, leaving a big hole in Stan’s heart, but he kept faith. He remembers what John said to him in the picnic. He took John’s photo put it in his room and in his heart, and then he continued his life, based on John’s tips…..
