After a week of almost sleepless nights, worried until when could I spend time with my dad, I was finally able to sleep peacefully that night. Thanks to that, I woke up the next day brimming with energy. I couldn't begin to describe how happy and thankful I was. Thankful for my second life, and thankful for the second life of my dad. He was supposed to die, but we managed to survive all thanks to a miracle. And since he didn't die, I guess the same would be for me. I wouldn't have to suffer anymore—giving up college for work and giving up the rest of my life trying to provide for our family.
My life this time… wouldn't be the same.
For sure, this time, I would be happy.
