UPDATE 24 (2/2)

Darius' Point of View:

The lights are off or it's just that I can't open my eyes...? I can here my mom and dad arguing... again. I know it was hard, but, please, do not fight in front of me or where can I hear the both of you arguing. It make things worse even more.

I don't know how many days or weeks or even months I was staying in this unobtrusive room. I only know this time that I am having a hard time to breathe.

I stopped going to school last year because after the try-out of the freshmen on that same year, I woke up inside a room where you can't find any color aside from white. The doctor said, I was lacking of good bacteria for my immune system to hold on. That I already have a severe brain tumor, a cancer.

I swallowed hard as I reminisce everything, even if it was hard to accept. I have a cancer, and it's severe.

"Be strong, please. Just for your son!" I heard my mom sobbing. I want to get off the bed and hug her, I really don't want her to suffer just because of me.

My Dad didn't respond, I just heard a deep breathings from him.

The door creaked, someone went inside the room. I bet it was one of my team mates. Butー that's impossible, Darius. My mind yelled from the other side of my head.

Yeah, I know that was so impossible because I'm here in New York. And they are not here, I felt alone.

"Mr. de Guzman?" I heard a pure accent of american english from a man, which is I think is my doctor...?

My dad, still, did not respond. But, I can still hear his heavy breathings. "Your son can't make to the operation later, he's too weak." The doctor cleared his throat while my mom silently sob, "As I observed him, he's getting too-" He didn't get the chance to finish the things he have to clear up to my parents because...

I stopped breathing.

Maybe life is so unfair, but at least I got the chance to live this life even though it was so short. Everything will be okay, somehow.

I will surely miss my life, my mom, my dad, my friends, everything, and... Jade.

"360 joules!" I heard the doctor shouted.

"1, 2, 3, Clear!" I felt a little pain but it didn't last long.

Saying good bye to people you love, is surely the hardest thing to do...

Jade Carla's Point of View:

"Get into your senses, Aragon!" The chief doctor scolded me. Nahulog ko kasi 'yung gagamiting scalpel para sa operation namin ngayon. I felt something weird.

Napailing na lamang ako at pinulot ang scalpel para linisan ito. Pangatlong pagkakamali ko na 'to ngayong araw, at nauubos na ang pasensya ni Dr. Gines sa akin. This is a major operation kaya kulang na lang ay sampalin ako ng doktor na ito para bumalik lang ako sa katinuan. Aish.

Biglang pumasok sa utak ko si Darius, naiinis pa rin ako sa lalaking 'yun. Bigla-bigla na lang umaalis, tapos biglang susulpot na parang walang nangyari. Tss.

I cleared my head, kailangan kong magtrabaho dahil konting-konti na lang at tatanggalin na ako dito sa trabaho. Pfft.

Every second this day felt like years to yearn, masyadong mabagal ang usad ng oras at sa sobrang bagal nito ay hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang pagkakamali na ang nagawa ko.
