TimeScapes: Always And forever

chap 4: challenges and bravery

Weya's POV

Everything went fast, it's like a blink of an eye...everything's changed.

The deeper the cuts the longer it last.

I have been crying for days. It's been so hard to accept that my mother was diagnose of having a breast cancer.

She needed to be operated since the cancer cell was not yet spread to her whole system. I am so afraid, I don't want to lose her. I will do whatever, everything to be exact just to make her stay longer.

The day my mother lost her conscious, I got to the hospital around 9:30 in the morning and left my whole class to my best friend. That day Bright, my love of my life had an issue, I love him so much and yes, I trust him so much...so much that I know it was not him and he will not do that to me. But the situation of my mom makes me turn upside down she's everything I have and Bright. But I need to do something for my mom. I don't want to burden Bright. All I want is him to focus on the issue about his career I know he's strong. And I admire and love him so much. That's why I took that advantage to get away from him to lessen his burden.

I did not say anything to her 'my best friend'. I called our principal to have a sick leave and the only person who knows my situation, she abled to lend me some for the hospitalization. I was not able to check on my phone after knowing the issue happened to Bright.

I cried beside my mom, she's sleeping now. The doctor already got rounds and we needed a large amount of money for the operation.

I need to sold our house, my car and lot for her therapy. I have my savings for her operation and medicines.

I sudden realized that my phone was in my bag for the whole day after I called our principal to inform what happened. I fished out my phone on my bag and it shocked me 110 missed calls and 50 unread messages from Bright and not to mention my bestie.

"Hey, bestie...." My voice croaked, I called my best friend. I told her everything and she understood it but when I told her about my decision she got really angry.

"Why?! Fucking bitch! You don't have to leave! And marry that fat damn rich old man!!!!" She shouted at me on the other line that I needed to take a distance on the phone.

I didn't say anything.

"Argh! Did you called Bright?" Did he knows this whole damn thing?" She asked me. I know she's worried about me.

" No....I don't want him to know. He's now facing some issues and I don't want to add." I pursed my lips not wanting to cry. But my heart and brain does not cooperate.

"Shit!" I heard her cussed." You know at this moment girl I want you to pull out from my phone where you were standing and damn! I want to be by your side, hug you bestie." She said her voiice now is kind of hoarse tone.

" Just please don't tell him." Now my tears streamed down on my cheeks.

"Hey.....please don't cryyyy.....I will cry also...sniff sniff.." I also heard her cry on the other line. That girl.

"Alright! Enough...that's your decision friend. I know you think of very well to that. But I felt petty to Bright. He keeps on calling at me asking where were you, what happens to you. Everything he wanted to know about your whereabouts. And I think he has his rights to know that friend." She said.

"Thank you....please have a look at Bright. I need to go now." I said to her

"Yeah yeah..please take care of your self Weya and get well soon for mama. I will take care of your kids left, they kept on asking me also, they missed you and I'll process the whole papers for your resignation." She said.
