"Why did you do that mom!" I shout.
"Which?" Denial!
"Why did you say that about dad! Why did you say we don't have a down payment!"
"It's true, isn't it? Do you think it's easy for me? Do you know that your dad is alone in the Hospital just to accompany you and then make up his mind, why I told the truth."
"Even mom, you don't even know that person."
"It looks nice, doesn't it?"
Like duh? That's what you think mom.
"Then rich is he your schoolmate? I want him to be your boyfriend!"
"I have a headache with you mom." My complaint.
"Did you eat already." Her emotions seemed to have changed.
"Once you get out of here at the Hospital don't go to the University."
"Why? I thought you wanted me to finish school?"
"Daughter, we don't have it anymore so we're in debt because of your dad's bill. We don't even know when he'll be able to recover. I didn't even tell your dad that you're in the hospital and maybe you'll be able to."
"Mom, I'll make a way if I can find a bigger salary or two jobs. I'll do, no problem there then I promise I'll finish school no matter what happens."
"Maybe when you understand us, you'll have a hard time.."
"Mom, I can."
"Thank you ah? You're really reliable, you know I'm really sorry why I didn't give you sibling. I hope you're not the only one who's tired just to help us with your dad."
"As long as I can, as long as you're there for me I can."
Mom hugged me. A hug that no one can reciprocate.
I was supposed to go out today but I was alone all night and only one nurse came back and forth to take care of me. I didn't expect mom to pick me up because she was taking care of dad and then maybe what else would dad think and how to do it.
About noon Nicole and Frankie came after me and took me to our house.
"Are you okay here? You want Nicole and me to go with that." It told me.
"I can rest if no one else thanks again for the delivery." I opened the door.
They also silently left our house. Although embarrassed to show Frankie our house. I just threw it away. Will I put shame first if I have nothing to gain?
My stomach growled as I put the utensils down on the table. I don't have any money and we don't have food stocks here. The outside of it endures hunger.
Soon Shien enters with a plastic bag.
"Thank you because it's good to eat that ??"
"Exactly I brought lunch." She happily mentions as the food is released.
"How did you know I was from the hospital?"
"The boss said."
"How did the boss find out?"
"I don't know. He just told me to visit you. Oh, I'll give it to you." At once reaching for the money.
"What's this for?"
"Help, because he knows your dad is in the hospital too." Its language.
"Please say thank you. Uhm, maybe I'll just come in the next day, please?"
"The boss knows that, that's why he gave you a budget. We're really lucky with our boss so don't ever leave our job, okay?"
I felt guilty for telling mom that I would look for another job.
"Don't you have anyone to sleep with today? I have a day off so I can go with you."
"Really?"
"Sure. I can't sleep well when I know you're the only one here."
I stared at her.
Here is the true friend you are ready to accompany even if it is too dangerous.
"Eat more." We really enjoyed what we ate.
I just smiled because of its goodness. She may be the only one I can be with until the end. I hope she's at my university too but it's not at another school.
"SO you mean your Frenny who calls you is no longer your friend?" Its chatter while brewing coffee.
It was about one o'clock in the morning but we still had no plans to sleep.
"Yeah, you know I didn't really expect it to be L-kingdom's fault too."
"Is it your L-kingdom that you say how many times are they men?"
"Eight. Almost arrogant too but the most really is Cedric."
"You know better, if you avoid them without repeating what happened to you, maybe next time. I'll hear that you're stabbed again."
"The L-kingdom promised they wouldn't bother me anymore that's what Nicole told me." I said sadly.
"It's not good for you to be able to study well because there are no more obstacles in your life, that's just right."
"When I enter, I will definitely go back to the way I used to be alone."
She held my hand.
"You can do that. I'm just here to accompany you anywhere else. I'll go to school with you when you need to talk."
I scratched my ear.
"When I have a cellphone, okay? You know that."
"Okay! No problem, I'll give you my number." Someone wrote on a small piece of paper.
"Just call me."
"Yeah, you still are."
There was a knock on the door. We looked at each other in fear and shock.
"Are you expecting a visitor?" Check me out.
Both my shoulders rose. We both stood to open the door knocking outside.
"Wait, maybe that's a bad person. Do you have any wood there?" Concern it.
I remembered Dad's baton under our pallet. I took it and then slammed it on the head of the person outside. Shien turned the door while I was just waiting.
I almost actually hit the guy on the head outside.
"Cedric?" I asked in shock.
"He's Cedric?" Shien whispered.
"Yes." I answered before looking at Arrogant Gangster again.
"What are you doing here?" I repeat.
"Maybe you can let me in here outside first." Its complaint.
"Come in!" It was Shien who agreed to enter the arrogant gangster.
Look around and look at Cedric's work inside our house.
"What are you doing here? How did you find out about our house?" I looked at him badly.
"I was able to talk to your mom. I'll take care of your dad's bills."
I raised an eyebrow, "And why?"
It took a long time not to answer.
"You have nothing to spend on hospital Reign." Shien whispered.
Instead of looking at her I waited for Cedric's arrogant gangster's answer.
"It's my fault, if you're doomed. Actually, there's no plan to hurt or stab you so my conscience prevails."
"Do you have any?"
"And one more thing, can you not insult me, young master?"
"Oh my Goodness! You're Mr. Kasilag's son?" Shien asked in shock.
Cedric just nodded while still looking at me.
"When you enter there is no L-kingdom that will torment you after your punishment for the blasphemy you committed." It was awkward looking at the two of us.
"Are you done? Is that all you're going to say? You know, you just wasted your time. You can even stop telling me that because whether you stop me or not, I don't care."
"Let me tell you that your mom sent me here because you don't have anyone with you right now. Do you think I would still come to you if I knew your friend was already here!" Its growl.
"I don't understand why is listening to mom. It's okay for you not to go even if mom told you to. You shouldn't care about that even if I'm alone or I'll be damned!" I raised my voice.
"You know, how high your pride is!" He stood up, "You're the one who's worried you're still angry. Do you think I want it to go to your rotting house ?!"
"That ?! rotten? Get away!" At the same time, he pointed at our door, "Don't come right back! Thank you for doing good for my dad. I'll pay you when I have the money. Get out!"
Did he really stare at me while throwing a paper bag at me.
He had no words to leave us.
"Reign, why did you fight handsome?" Said to me while still peeking out of the house.
"Hey, close that, the arrogant gangster can come back!" I order.
She glanced at the paper bag Cedric had thrown at me while I was still bleeding to my head.
Annoying.
That arrogant gangster is hot -headed!
"Oh my Goodness! It's real?" Shien exclaimed.
I looked at her while holding a cellphone from the paper bag. I just frowned and approached her while holding the cellphone in amazement.
"Did he give you a cellphone? Omg, It's a trendy cellphone?"
"Stop what you're doing. I'll bring it back when we meet at the University."
"You don't like that?"
I glanced over, "I don't want to be indebted to that man." I frowned in response.
"In case, you are already indebted to the person, he helped you pay your hospital bills and even to your dad and then gave you a cellphone. I think, he was right, when he said that he wanted to make amends for his sin, maybe it's his conscience because of what happened to you. "
"He's a gangster. He probably shouldn't feel sorry for those they chose to give stubs."
"Aren't you happy? You know he only did that to you."
I thought deeply for another moment.
"Ah just! I'll bring that back!" I couldn’t look at the cellphone because I could only see Cedric’s face.
My life might be ruined even more if he stays like that with me even if I say he's just recovering.
