"Monica, why are you wearing sunglasses? Where is the sun?" Bun asked
"Why is your hair blocking your face? You look like a ghost!" Ren said
I did not speak to them and I continued to play the game on my phone. We were all in the lobby waiting for our next class.
"Let's go to the mall!" Ian shouted
"We have another class!" Sis yen
"There is no class today because there is an emergency so we can go home" he announced
I immediately looked up and the first thing I saw was Luke standing in the corner and looking seriously in my direction so I bowed again. How do I leave, looks like he's waiting for me? he might suddenly hit me.
It's my fault! Why did I kick him? He might even beat me up for what I did to him last night! Am I going to die without even experiencing the things I have never experienced?
"HEY MONICA!" Ren
"WAHHHH I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" I will die in shock!
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Ren
"defeated" I heard Bun say as she pointed her hand at the phone I was holding and I saw I was lost in what I was playing.
"Why are you shouting?"
"Luke called you earlier but you haven't heard" Ren
what? Luke is calling me? I looked at the man next to me. Luke was standing next to me and he was holding an umbrella.
Wait! What does it mean? he will kill me with that?
WAHHHH!
"Monica are you okay or are you sick?" Sis yen
I could no longer answer their questions because of the fear I was feeling now so I ran out of our school.
Since we no longer have classes I can go home. I immediately took the bus. It is too early for me to get home to a quiet house so I will visit nurse cha first. When I arrived at the hospital I saw nurse cha talking to a man. the man turned his back on me so I couldn't see what he looked like.
Nurse Cha waved at me when she saw me so I waved back. I was about to leave and go to doc Santos's office when I saw the face of the man talking to nurse cha.
"Monica you are also going here, you should have come with me earlier so we can just drive a motorbike." Luke,
what is Luke doing here? I looked at the umbrella he was holding. why is he still carrying it? is he planning to kill me here?
"Monica, why are you here? do you no longer have classes at school?" Nurse Cha asked and she touched my forehead if I had a fever.
"nurse cha looks like I'm going to die," I said to her while looking at Luke
"ouch, nurse cha! you always pinch my nose!" I am miserable because I am unlucky in life.
"Stop your drama, Monica! You're lucky and you're still alive. Luke almost didn't have a child because the crazy woman kicked him yesterday. If that crazy woman kicks me I can slap her" said nurse cha.
Crazy woman? Is that how he thinks about me? That's why I stepped on Luke's foot without being seen by nurse cha.
I saw that he was hurt but he did not show it to nurse cha. It was his fault because he was still beside me.
"Are you saying something, Luke?" I gave him an angry smile so he just shook his head
"Hey Monica if you are here again to sign the agreement, I will not allow it! You are still alive so do not sign" I heard a serious tone from nurse cha.
I just closed my eyes. I don't see myself living after five or more years.
"Nurse cha I don't do this just because I don't want to live anymore. I have a promise to Denmark."
Nurse Cha just covered her ears and she looked like a child who did not want to listen to her parents.
I can't blame her because She has taken care of me since I was born and she just wants me to live long.
"What do you mean Monica?"
I looked at Luke.
"Don't listen to the conversation. What else are you doing here?"
Nurse Cha held my hand tightly.
"Luke can you help me convince Monica to undo what she is planning?" nurse cha
Nothing can change my mind even Luke. I know my body better than anyone else so I know if I can still do it or not.
One more thing, I have no reason to live. I have no family. I'm just a burden to nurse cha because since I was a child, she pays all my expenses. I haven't even paid her yet. She gave me everything I needed but not the family.
I live in nurse cha's apartment but I am often alone there. She only came home once a month and spent the rest of her life in the hospital. Except for her, sis yen, bun, and Ren are also the only ones I consider as a family but they have their own family. They also have a lot of problems and I don't want to add to their problem so I didn't say I was sick.
What else is the reason to live if I am alone? Of all the pain I've ever experienced, this is the pain I never expected I would have liked. I also knew that there was no medicine to cure my illness so I stopped taking the medicine prescribed by doc Santos a few days after my surgery and fortunately I did not feel anything.
Doc also gave me time. I don't want nurse cha to know that it will only take me a few months. I want to make the most of my life while I still have time.
----
I now stay in the hospital garden and only a few patients rest here. It has been a month since I met that boy.
Denmark Sandoval.
He does not want to lose sight of her sister because her dream is to become a famous model. Denmark is only eight years old but he already values his sister's dream.
I do not know what went through my mind during those hours and I promised him that I would give my eyes to his sister five months later. Even though I know there are still three months left before I disappear from the world.
I should see nothing other than to see someone's life ruined. Denmark's sister has a long way to go, unlike me.
"Monica, can we talk?" Luke appeared in front of me.
"What kind of pain are you going through and you thought of giving your eyes to someone else?"
I ignored him and just listened to the environment.
"No matter what happens, I will stay by your side. We will fight together"
I immediately looked at Luke.
"I know there is no cure for the pain you have"
what does he know? what is he saying?
"Doc Santos... aren't you wondering why we have the same surname?"
Doc Santos...Luke Santos...
He is the son of Doc Santos?
