The Valentine’s Suicide - For Your Eyes Only
Oh at last, I made a short story. This story is part of “The Valentine’s Suicide” which is composed of tragic romances and love stories. Right now, this is my first (and half-condensed) story for this epic compilation. As usual, my passion and meticulous taste for tragedy is present. Tragedy happened to be one of my middle names. I call this - For Your Eyes Only. You'll know it why it's called this way as you read the entire story.

February 14,
-- A girl was found dead inside her bedroom. She hanged herself. According to her friends, they last saw her talking merrily to her boyfriend on the other line earlier that day. They never heard her say any negative words to her boyfriend and that they know that the two had been in a relationship for a long time. Her parents were aghast. The authorities searched for any possible suicide letter. Inside her pocket, a letter was found inside an envelope, ready to be given to its recipient.
Dearest Kurt,
I hope that I can still give you this letter personally. I understand that you’re going to loose your sight. I love you so much baby. How I wish that your family can afford your operation. I can help you a lot but my parents won’t let me. I know how much it hurts your feelings each time my parents say such stinging words at you. I would really like to help you even if it is against my parent’s will. Had it not been for my parents, maybe you could see better by now, or better yet, you could have been cuddling my by now.
If no one can provide an eye for you, please, allow me to sacrifice my eye for you. I know that we already talked about this but please, I beg of you. I’m willing to sacrifice just for you. This is how much I love you. I rather be blind than to stand blameless about your condition.
Inside this letter is a check that is more than enough to pay for the entire operation. My parents already know about this sacrifice of mine and that there is no escape for me. I’m sure that I’ll be grounded forever.
I love you so much baby and I wish that you would accept my gift whole-heartedly. I hope that you could recover as soon as your operation is finished. I love you so much! (14344!).
P.S. To whosoever picks up this letter, if ever I’ll never be able to give this to Kurt, please bear with me. Please make my baby see the beauty of the world again. I know how foolish I am to do this sacrifice but it doesn’t matter. I am doing this to show that love has no boundaries. Whether you’re rich or not, we all have a right to love because we all have a heart. To my dearest Kurt, please, take care of my eyes.
Love,
Caroline
Caroline’s parents decided not to advertise this horrible event on the television. The number one thing that they had in mind is to fulfill their daughter’s wishes.
February 15,
Kurt never heard anything from his girlfriend again. He thought that Caroline was mad at him for an unexplainable reason. He got a phone call from Caroline’s parents and that he will have an operation the following day. He is so excited. He wanted to ask Caroline’s parents about her but he had set it aside supposing that her parents were still mad at him and that they’re only doing this to make her happy.
February 16,
The operation was really exasperating. Kurt had no idea that the eye came from his girlfriend. No one told him about the death of his dearest. All he ever wishes is that the number one person to greet him and hug him is none other than Caroline.
February 20,
After few days, Caroline’s parents visited him. They congratulated him and praised the doctors for the successful operation. The eye transplant was really expensive. All expenses paid by Caroline’s parents. Kurt was extremely bothered that he asked about his girlfriend. Caroline’s parents thought otherwise. They said that she is just some place else and that she is not mad about him. Kurt had a sigh of relief.
Everything went perfect and smooth-sailing. He can see well. When the time came that he has to remove his bandages, he wishes that the number one person he can see is his dearest Caroline. However, she is nowhere to be found. He thought that her parents were just lying to him. He thought that Caroline just fulfilled her wishes for him and after its fulfillment, it’s time for them to say good bye to each other.
February 14, the very same day when Caroline committed suicide
Caroline’s parents presented Kurt the letter which Caroline wanted to give him. Kurt burst into tears. He told himself, “For what is the purpose of this vision if the one that I love is forever out of my sight.”
Later that night, he hanged himself too. Everybody was shocked.
“…a life without my girl is utterly useless, all these things she did for me without any hesitation. I can no longer stay in this world if everything that I can see is nothing but bitterness and that the only sweetness that I wanted to see is gone forever. I can’t long for her anymore. If death separated us temporarily, death can also bind us forever.”
