The Last Star

The Last Star

From the top floor, in a window of the house and terrace fourth in Black Square, Jane saw stars from the farthest space. She stared at the night sky through a long telescope which have thick lens. As usual the night, she expected no shooting star, and soon Jane shouted "yyakk!”, Jane immediately bowed her head, closed her eyes as if she had a huge demand.

Night passed, a sunny morning greeted. As usual, Jane, at table with her mother and  father were ready to get breakfast. Jane was not the same with her friends, she cuold not go to school, play and pass the beautiful days. It was because Jane had blood cancer, but her enthusiasm to keep her life was so great. The days that she passed just to stay at home, to go to the hospital and check up and painting in her beautiful garden.

Day by day passed, the state was no longer as before Jane could stand for several hours, her body began to weak and could fall many times. That night, from the window where she could see the stars are beautiful, Jane waited for a falling star, but she did not see any stars in the dark sky. Today was already late at night, she did not see any stars. Jane disappointed and closed the curtains tightly. Since that night, she did not want to see the stars anymore because she felt her hope was lost.

Jane's parents were very sad to see their daughter was getting worse, but they still provide encouragement to Jane. The third eve after she did not see the stars, Jane suddenly opened a thick lens telescope. At that night, she was so excited to be able to see the stars even with a very weak condition. Jane said, "Tonight, I want to see my hope star for the last time". An hour passed, she had not seen any shooting stars, Jane continued to be patient to wait in the chair where she took rest with the eyelids could not wait to clasp. Shortly thereafter, there was a very beautiful star passed directly when Jane closed her eyes forever.
