Last request...

A week ago, a plane crashed into the pacific ocean. There wasn't many people on the plane. But for those who were. Many didn't survive. The ocean current was strong. Fortunately for Yogi, he was safe to reach ashore on a small island. Two days of being unconcious, he was starving. He just walked and found some fruits on the ground near a tree. He took it and washed using the ocean's water, he ate the fruit. Day by day he became used to the place. He now wondered if there is anyone else on this island. Would anyone ever find him? He was hoping that theres a rescue team on the way or something but above it all, he just miss the family he had over in his house, the warm house that he stayed in. Mother and father must be so sad to hear that his plane had crashed. He was on that plane to go and study overseas and come back with a bright future. Everything seems to be so dark now. He wondered around the island, into the woods, he made a shelter for overnight. He seem so use to this kind of things as he was a boy scout once in secondary school. Everyday he would find fruits for the following days and he would try to build a small sail so that he could go somewhere that other people lives.

Four days had gone by, he walked around the woods, and accidently he reached the other side of the island. He walked along the beach and suddenly, he saw a body rest ashore. It was a girl. He looked at the girl's complexion. How pretty she was. What a poor thing to be living in an unknown island. He carried her to his shelter. Her body was cold. He put her near the fire. Soon she woke up. She asked, 'Where am I?'. He replied 'You must be the passenger of the plane that had crashed,' 'Hi, i'm Yogi, we are stranded here on an unhabited island.' They chatted and chatted about what had happened.

Hours gone by, it was night, Yogi had already done a shelter for the girl to rest in. She saw him as a very interesting guys with such innocent pair of eyes. Night falls. It was dark, Yogi set up the fire and he offered the girl some fruit. They both ate and soon they both went to sleep for the next day.

Next day, Yogi woke up early to find more food supply. He then went to continue building the sail hoping that the both of them could survive and go sailing to another island and hope to find other civilization. The girl woke up. She was finding for Yogi to wish him good morning. She couldn't find him, so she ate some fruits. Yogi came back with more fruits. They sat down and eat the fruits together. Yogi looked at her, she was really a beauty. He thanked God for not leaving him alone on the island. Yogi took the girl for a sight-seeing. He asked the girl, 'What's your name?' 'I'm Rene,' she replied. They went to a waterfall. It was very beautiful. Yogi took off his shirt and jumped into the water. The girl was shocked but he saw that Yogi is a very attractive man. She joined him in the water. Both of them swam in the water for quite awhile.

Rene was already tired. She went back to her shelter to rest up and dry her clothes while Yogi said he was going to do some work. He went and build the sail once again. He didn't want to tell the girl.

It was evening, when Yogi came back, Rene was fixing the shelter they rest in. She made it more comfortable then before. By then Yogi saw that she was a real woman. A woman that could live without rich and fame. He had now fallen in love with her. He went into the sea to catch some fish cos there ain't much fruit left from where he took them. Rene looked at him chasing the fishes. He was funny. When he caught a fish, he would jump with joy. What a cheerful man, she thought.

On that night, Rene cooked the fish Yogi had caught earlier that day. Seeing this, Yogi had really fallen in love with her. He told her, 'Hey, err.. well.. you look pretty from the day i saw you.' Rene was shy, she was blushing. He got on his knees and said softly, 'Would you be my wife??' She didn't quite hear him cause she was nervous. 'Sorry... What did you say just now?' she asked. 'Would you marry me? Well, we are the only two people on this island.. I mean..' he replied. Once again she blushed. She got down to him and put a finger on his lips. 'Shh.. Speak no more.. I'm in love with you too.. Yes, I would marry you.' she said. He was so happy, he kissed her for the first time and she replied his kiss. They frenched and make up. It was their first night. He took her to a higher ground to look at the stars and moon. What a nice view it was at that moment. They made love.

It had been a month since they had become a family. New shelter were build. The sail was all ready. Sadly, Yogi wasn't feeling well. He had a disease since he was small. He guessed that the disease had grown for all the years he been living. He told Rene, 'I couldn't live longer.. I wish i could.. To tell you, I had made a sail that could get us somewhere, with some food storage on it.'
Rene was sad. He continued 'It looks like i ain't going anywhere now, I just want you to live and be happy. Although i won't be there beside you, you should always remember i'll be watching you from afar.' Touching as it was, tears had came down the cheeks of them both. They hugged each other. Rene spoke 'No matter what happen, I'll always remember and love you.'

Yogi showed Rene the sail he made. It looked great. They both carried the sail to the beach so that it will be easier if they would want to set sail. They made love that night. It was an unusual night, rain had downpoured the island. They both went to sleep after that.

The next morning, Rene was trying to wake him up. But he couldn't open his eyes no more. Looks like the death angel had came earlier with the rain last night. She cried and cried but it was no use. She put him at the shelter where they built. Then, she pulled him to the waterfall cos he said.. 'If i die, please put me at the waterfall, I like it there..' She cried thinking of their memories together. But his last request to her is, 'Dear, I want you to be happy, I don't ever want to see you sad.. Life have to go on. Take care of yourself when i'm gone...' She grew stronger and she was ready to set sail.

Few days later, she reached onto a land, there was civilization there. She didn't feel good. She was all dizzy and feeling naucious. The people there helped her to the doctor. It was somewhere in the island of Malaysia they said. She was lucky cos they could speak english. They told her that, the doctor found out that she was pregnant. How shocked she was. She was very happy that she wouldn't be alone after all. Her carriage is already 3 weeks old. She lived her life and everytime she hold her stomach, she thought of Yogi. She decided to work and have a decent life. She wants to name her baby Yogi if it's a boy or Memory if it's a girl.

She lived a decent life. 2 years had passed. It was a boy, Yogi she named him. He took after his late father's complexion. She was very happy with him. They lived their life happily.

Somewhere else, Yogi was very happy to see them being happy. The thing that made him very happy was, she had lived up to his 'last request'.
