Time

Chapter 65: Time

If there is only thing in this world that most of us have been taking for granted, it is the limited time that we have on our hands.

It was the case for Mia before the accident happened, she have always thought that she have plenty of time at her hands, that she can still take her time in doing the things that she need to accomplish.

But right now, she regret that she have wasted a lot of time for trivial things when she could have used it to much more important things.

And right now she is running out of time.

She have also thought about it before, Lance's question earlier when he was at her studio.

Ever since she began to decide for herself, she always wanted to stick on doing things that she thought are rightful and just.

That she is being selfless and doing everyone a favor.

But when the world started to turn its back against her plus she got hospitalized and Florence told her that her time is limited and that she could go anytime, she wanted to do things for herself.

She tried but it seems like the heavens have a different plan for her.

Right there and then she changed her way of thinking and saw her selfishness in every action that she have been doing till now.

It was her who wanted to do those things, she's not doing it for the sake of others but to satisfy herself.

That's why she is being punished by the heavens by taking her time.

Mia just bitterly smiled at the thoughts that was running in her mind since Lance finally decided to leave her alone, but she can't face her work and was thrown into a deep thought.

Fear… she can feel that fear of dying. Before, she can bravely say that she can die any moment but now?

She just wanted all the time that the heavens could spare or her.

There are still a lot of things she needs to do and she still have a lot of things to say.

Without noticing, Mia started to cry.

As reality dawns upon her that indeed her time is running out, she wanted to beg to whoever she can beg for the time she have lost.

For all the things that she have taken for granted.

A lot of people is seeing her in a different light on how she see herself, she is well aware of that,

She is also aware that she have let herself be hateful on things that have brought her pain.

Questions have never stopped in her head, she can't decide what she will do, with the limited time that she have, even though she knows that she is entitled to be angry and to be hurt, she can't even

bring herself to it.

All she can do right now is just cry, though these tears won't even do anything to ease what she is going through.

Mia can't even distinguish what she should feel.

The numbness is also painful for her and confusion have always been constant for her.

Work has been her only escape and where she can feel that she have control over.

"Mia"

And even now, she hallucinating the voice of the man she have hurt the most.

Leaving Terrence is her choice, she was aware of what Terrence is going thorough that everything

that Terrence have done was also because of her, but she decided to hate him.

It's true, she have hated him, she have to hate him in order to save herself.

She was aware that he was just trying to protect her but she decided that he should haven't done

what he have done to her, that he should have choose her, where she would have done the same

decisions that Terrence decided.

Then a hand holds her cheeks and dried the tears she have.

"You should have told me everything and faced it together" she said as soon she locked eyes with Terrence.

Terrence's eyes is also becoming red

"I'm sorry" that is the only thing that Terrence could say to her

"Why is it always your fault when I caused everything" she cried more and more "I caused everyone's sufferings"

Then she felt alone,

She is alone.

For the past few months this is not the first time that she experienced hallucinations, her condition is causing this to happen.

She just kept on crying until there are no tears to let out.

Mia have already accepted that this is a punishment for all the things that she have caused.

Ever since she was a kid, she never believed in coincidence and always think that her every action will always have a certain impact, maybe not to herself but in some ways someone will experience it.

But she is aware now aware that time will always be more precious than anything. Something that she doesn't even have.

After her episode, she just fell asleep in her studio.

When she wakes up she felt that a blanket was placed in her shoulders, she looked around and see the man she missed the most sleeping in her couch at her studio.

She tried to wake herself up thinking that this might be another hallucination but when she pinched herself, it hurts.

"This is real"

Then Terrence wakes up and smiled at her.

"You finally calmed down"

Confusion registered at Mia's face.

"When I got here earlier, you were crying and clearly giving yourself a lecture"

"You were here earlier?" That wasn't a hallucination

Terrence just walked toward her and hold her face

"Stop carrying everything on your own Mia, I am here, this time I won't go anywhere"

Mia just drowned herself from the warmth that she can feel on Terrence's hand in her cheeks.

She doesn't even know if what she feels is right but for now she decided to indulge herself.

Getting back a few moments from her lost time.
