Chapter III
Today is the day I can get my results, I left the house feeling empty without any care of what will happen later. I miss their warmed it's already been a week and they still not dare to go home they must be enjoying their life. I'm happy if it's the reason.
Yes, I'm happy, right?
It is really a coincidence that I'm riding the same taxi like the last time. Dave the driver as expected looking presentable, he asked me what's my errand today and I told him I'm getting my results today being kind enough he gave me his number just incase something happened
or I needed his help. I bid him a farewell with a smile on my face not knowing what will come.
I went to Dr. Petersons office he's just sitting there waiting for me
"Hello, Doctor"
I know I'm an awkward person
"Sit down, We will talked about your condition"
"You can get straight to the point Doc, I don't really mind"
"Your result shows that you have a Leukemia, and like you said the symptoms are already there for a long time which means it much more worse than it already was and"
"and what? "
I couldn't say anything else but look into his eyes.
"I will start to look for a match for you and you have to go here for check ups while waiting for the transplant but there's only 10% success rate with your condition since we couldn't do it at your early stage"
"How long will I live?"
"At this stage you're already dying. 1 years at most or only for a few months "
When there's no more things to discuss he gave me my test results and left the hospital looking so dull, doesn't know what to feel. Jake and Jacob said that they will go home tonight so I have to look ok. Since they couldn't eat the food I prepared last time I'll go to the grocery store.
As I walk enjoying the summer breeze, watching the sunset goes down the horizon, the bloody red clouds it's peaceful and calming and yet why do I feel like my heart is about to burst. I passed by to a lot of different stores, strangers who's busy with their own life.
Then, I saw something that will definitely destroy my heart into pieces. It's Jake and Jacob in front of the Hotel with someone that I didn't know his existence. I distance myself fearing to be seen by them, crying my eyes out looking like a fool at the street.
I'm fine, right? I have to.
