- Oh Jack ! ...
- Rose !!...
- Jack, are you okay? -- Rose asked
- Yes, I'm okay Rose. But .... oh please listen to me, Rose! I'm so sorry, babe! You have to go! -- Paused for couple seconds, Jack continued -- I have my mom, my kids and .... my wife (his eyes looked down), to take care of! You are a good girl. You know, you're beautiful and smart, but I am really sorry .... I can't die! I'm not gonna die for you! I'm not gonna die with you! I have to live, I have to go on ...
Jack let go of his hand. He wiped his tears! They caught their eyes and shared a moment that they knew it would last forever (to Jack only)...
- Jack .... Jack .... Jerk ....
giọng Rose thều thào, yếu hẳn trước khi toàn thân đông thành đá và nàng chìm dần .... chìm dần ....
Jack bưng mặt khóc nức nở ... Goodbye my love ... He turned around to look at her one more time, last time indeed! She was safe in his heart, and his heart would go on and on ....
