For Luna Alondra Dawson, marriage is a word so simple but holds so much weight. Some people are scared of it, some don't care much about it, for some it's just a paper, while there are those that just use it as a form of agreement, and there are tho...

CHAPTER 47: MEMORY
LUNA'S POV
"We want to be completely honest. Your cancer is progressing rapidly. But we were preparing for this, Luna. I assure you that none of us is giving up hope, and we really want you to do the same. We're going to make some changes to your treatment plan, and it would be best that you minimize some of your responsibilities because your body needs a lot of time to rest."
I was released from the hospital just this morning. I'm finally free from the oxygen attached to me. I still feel weak, but I feel better than I did almost a week ago. I could have stayed longer in the hospital, but I asked them to send me home.
Kahit anong sabihin ay iba pa rin ang nasa bahay. I just want to be in a familiar, comforting environment. I'm tired of constantly waking up for people to check my vitals, constantly undergoing tests, and having doctors stop by to tell me things I already know. I'm grateful for their help, but I want to rest and have a moment to just think.
"Are you okay?" Binigyan ko ng maliit na ngiti si Magnus at tumango lang ako bilang sagot. "Gusto mong umakyat na?"
Hindi pa rin nagsasalita na umiling ako. Naglakad ako papunta sa sofa na nasa reading nook at naramdaman kong nakasunod sa akin ang lalaki. Umupo ako roon at nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kaniya nang nanatili lang siyang nakatayo.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing. You're just too quiet." Dumaan ang pag-alala sa mga mata niya at sinapo niya ang pisngi ko. A smile still on my lips, I lean on his hand. "Are you really okay?"
"I am now."
"I'll get you some food."
I shook my head, then reached for his hand to pull him close. I patted the space beside me. "Stay here with me."
Just like I expected, he didn't deny me what I was asking for. He took a seat, but he didn't stop there. He pulled me closer until I'm sitting on his lap.
"You're going to spoil me. Baka hindi na ako matutong umupo sa kahit saan dahil hahanap-hanapin ko 'to," biro ko sa kaniya.
"Good."
"Parang kailan lang parang gusto mo akong isako at iligaw, samantalang ngayon ang clingy mo na."
"Walang parang. Gusto talaga kitang isako at iligaw noon."
Mahinang napatawa ako. "Eh ngayon?"
He leaned down so that he could brush the tip of his nose on mine, earning him the habit of mine that seems to be his favorite. Nangingiting tinapik niya ng daliri niya ang kumunot ko na ilong. "Ngayon kung pwede kitang itali sa akin para kahit saan ako magpunta nandoon ka, ginawa ko na."
