HEART'S PURSUIT

Part 2

I looked at her.

For a whole minute? I don't know...

Maybe, an hour or more.

She's busy in the Nurse's station, giving instructions to those under her. I know that she's the Chief Nurse here. Yusseff told me about her. Well, more like, I forced him to tell me things about her. I stared at her face; she knows how to put make up now. Not that she needs it, I'm just happy that she's improving everyday. I am so proud of her.

I just know that I missed her so bad. Damn, lovesick dog!

God knows how much I wanted to go to her and talk to her but my guilt is eating me up. If not for me, her father would still be alive now. She wouldn't have suffered that bad before.

I regretted opening my mouth that time.

"Son, I've heared from Nickee that you're having a hard time with your studies. I have a hunch already but I don't want to assume about what causing this," Dad asked me one time.

I clenched my fist. Nickee! I told her so many times to mind her own business and stay from us. She doesn't really know when to stop!

"Yes, dad. School's pretty exhausting now since it's the last year," I answered sternly.

He put down the magazine that he was reading and looked at me.

"I know you know what I'm referring to, Edward. I'm talking about Mory, I'm not sure if it's nice to involve yourself with that if it's not bringing you benefit, son. I told you so many times to weigh many times before you associate yourself with others," he responded calmly. Along with that, is a hint of warning.

Sighing heavily and closing my eyes tightly, I composed myself and chose my newt words carefully.

"No, it's not like that, dad. Mory's family is facing a problem right now. Her father is in the hospital and in need of a heart donor, so..."

Wanting so bad to show my father that I am really committed with what Mory and I have, I expressed my honesty without thinking twice.

Dad shifted from his seat, looking interested that he ever was before. "Is that so? They need a heart donor?"

Smiling a little, I sat acroos his chair. Gaining some hope that maybe dad can help Mory's family. He has connections and he basically know that city's affair. I can't wait to tell that good news to Mory if ever.

"Yes, dad."

A moment of silence passed. Standing up and opening the door of dad's study room, I asked him.

"Dad, maybe you know someone connected to hospitals and such."

He smiled stiffly. "Sure, son. I'll tell you once I know someone. You can also tell me if ever her family had already found a donor."

"Of course, I will," I nodded and got out from the room.

Little did I know that it will be the greatest mistake that I will ever make. If only, I wasn't nosy...

If only I could turn back the time, I would and would not do that even if it costs me my life!

Ever since that moment, I realized that I will bring no good to Mory and her family so it's better to just cut off everything. It's hard but it's the best thing to do. At least for me.

I got used to it. I punished myself. I didn't even want to take the board exams afterwards. It does not serve any purpose anymore. I was so focused in ruining my father's reputation.
