CHAPTER 9

LOVE BETWEEN RELIGION AND FAMILY

(SHENTAL’S P. O. V)
I am om our couch sitting and crying regretting for what I did. When my phone rang.
“Shen,” The woman at the phone uttered
“Helllo, may I know who is this please?” I said while stopping my cry.
“Shen this your aunt Christine. Shen, we need your help here” she said and cries so hard.
“Yes Tita where are you now what happened?” I ask immediately and head off to my room and fix myself.
“We’re  at the Hospital, Cris involved in a car accident and he is critical now.” She said nervously. So I hang the call up and head off to Hospital..
As I arrive at the hospital I immediately approach Aunt Christine and comfort her. The doctor went out of the room of Cris and explained to us What happened to Cris.
“Are you the family?, well I would honestly tell you the condition of the patient, his already stable, but he is in comma” uttered the doctor.
“doc will he recover from comma?” Aunt Christine ask.
“In his condition right now, he will but it will take 1to 3 months” the doctor uttered.
“Doc. Please do your best to make my son recover faster.” His mom said. The doctor nodded his head and left.
I and aunt Chris Were sitting sin the chair next to the bed of Cris when I started the conversation.
“Ummm..... Aunt, shall we tell this to Bryan?” I started.
“Is that the lover of my son?” she ask looking at me fiercely.
“Uhm yes.... He is” I uttered and lower my head.
“Shental you know you’re  always the person I want for Cris. Let’s not talk about him right now instead let’s pray for thw fast recovery of my son. Let me deal with that guy.” She said and she started to pray.
I never expected that Aunt wnats me to be the wife of her son buts it’s  ok though Cris can not like me. Few minutes went by Aunt Christine still praying, I decided to go home and take a little nap and try to fix the problem.
I’m  already at the house when I remember what Aunt Chris said, but I can’t dis obey her. I can’t tell Bryan Cris is in hospital so I will let Clifford tell Bryan. Because if Bryan truly loves Cris he will face Cris’ mother and get rid of the consequences.
“Shen? Where have you been? Mom called A while ago and wants to talk to you but you’re  not here” Clifford uttered when he sees me on the kitchen.
“Cliff, I will tell you this, not because I have to but because Bryan must know. Cris is in the hospital, he’s  in comma, I don’t  want to tell him myself so I want you tell him.” I uttered seriously to my brother.
“why Cris come up at the Hospital?” he uttered with his surprise.
“it’s  a car accident, I and him had a fight then I told him I am the one who told his mother about him and Bryan, so he got angry and drove his car faster and he crushed into a post.” I said
I see into Clifford’s eye sorrow, maybe it’s  not for Cris but for Bryan. I know he’s  into Bryan but he was too late. Clifford left me in the kitchen with his unfinished chicken curry so i have to finish it.

(CLIFFORD’S P. O. V)
After hearing those words from my sister, I immediately ran heading to Bryan. Living her with my unfinished chicken curry. I know to myself that my sister likes Cris for a long time but Cris never saw his worth but at this moment of time what matters most is to Bryan knows Cris’ condition.
I am at their front door when Bryan open the door.
“Cliff you’re  here” he started.
“Bry I came to let you know that Cris is in the hospital” I uttered and look at him. He’s becoming pale and weak after hearing my words.
“B... B..... But how? What happened?” he said nervously.
“Let me tell you this in the car okay!” I uttered and hurriedly grab his hands and we ran to the car. We are on my car heading to the hospital, I am telling him what happened when I saw to Bryan’s  eyes the sadness while listening to me.
“Bry I know I should not tell you this but Shen told me that Cris’s mother don’t  want to see you” I uttered.
“I don’t care Cliff! Whatever happened I must see Cris, I will not sit or stand either watching my partner in whatever situation he had.” He uttered. When we arrived at the hospital Bryan didn’t waste any time, he immediately open the door and ran inside.

(BRYAN’S P. O. V)
As I and Clifford arrived at the hospital, I waste no time. I hurriedly open the door and ran inside. I’m at the lobby asking the room number of Cris and as soon as I know it, I immediately head off to the room.
As I enter the room I saw Cris lying on the hospital bed. My tears are slowly dropping from my eyes but I stopped it when I saw his mother sitting on the couch.
“Excuse me!? Who are you and what are you doing here?” the woman started.
“M....M....My name is Bryan Mooreign, I’m Cris partner.” I answered
“So you are the guy whose involve at Crus life?” she aske fiercely.
“Yes it is me. I know ma’am you are his mother and believe me I have nothing else want but to love and care your son as long as I could.” I uttered facing his mother bravely, trying to get her trust.
“Bryan, I know you’re too young for this, I know your a good son and I know your also intelligent. Look, as his mother all I want for him is to have a family, to have a child of his own and continue what his father had started. He is my only son Bryan, please whatever relationship you had with my son, please stop it, I’m begging you” she uttered.
The moment his mother begs for me I have realized to stop what I and Bryan had. I also have to consider other people in our relationship. I know that if you love a person very much you must fight for it no matter what but our situation is really different. I have to stop not because i don’t love Cris, but because that’s the only thing I know in order for him to be happy with his family.
I love Bryan so much that’s why I have to gave him up for good. It’s so hard for. Me to do this but I ask his mother one last thing.
“Ma’am, before leaving may I ask for one thing?” I brave ask.
“Yes, you can Bryan” she agreed.
“Can I and Cris talk for the last time? Can you please allow me and your son talk after he recover?” I begged.
“Just promise me it’ll be fine for him” she said. And so I left the room. As I close the door I saw Clifford walking towards me. So I ran Towards him and hug him tightly and I cried. He is the only person I can lean on at this moment of time.
“Cliff, can you accompany me?” I ask while crying and hugging at him.
“Yes of course Bryan,” he said and tightly hugged me as well. Clifford took me in the rooftop of the hospital, there we talked about how hard it is for me to gave Cris up. Clifford comforted me he did everything just to make me feel comfortable. After an hour I become okay and so we decided to head off home.
( 2 months later)
“Bry, aren’t you visiting Cris?” Alexa asked me.
“Lex how many do I have to tell you that I made a promise to his mother that I will be going there if he already had a conscious.” I said. When Clifford appeared
(BEEP BEEP WINDOW OPENS)
“Bry Cris is already okay you can visit him now Shental told this to me last night sorry if I just tell you this today” Clifford said
“Go on Bry visit him and tell him everything” Alexa uttered. And so I did come to the hospital together with Clifford.
My long wait is over, I am nervously going in to Cris room. As I open the room I saw Cris on his bed regains his conscious and peacefully looking at me. My tears are falling from my eyes. I’m  crying because he is back. His mother and father went out of the room giving me time to talk to him. As I am  walking towards him my body felt tired and numb. Not knowing where and how to start.
“Babe! I am okay stop crying” he started.
“Cris, I have to be honest to you this time.” I said.
“Babe, what are you talking? Everything is okay” he said “I am okay and we are okay” he started.
“Cris, yes we are but I have to end this,” I uttered and cry.
“What do you mean end? Babe?” he said and held my hand.
“Cris let’s  stop here It’s  hard for me but I have to just for your happiness,” I said.
“Babe if this is about mom—” he never finished his word when I uttered
“Your mother has nothing to do with my decision, Cris I really love you but I have to end this for good. Cris, thank you and for the last time I Love You” I said and hugged him.
“Babe I can’t” he said.
“Cris, the last person who told me he can’t, he overcome it and now he’s  more than what he said” I sheerfully uttered to Cris loosening my hug turns my back and crying living him on the bed. And as i go out I saw his mother and his mother immediately hug me.
“Thanks” she uttered.
“You don’t  have to, I have to do it ma’am  because it’s  the right way” I smiling said and look to Clifford whose standing next to Ceis Father.
“Let’s  go Bry” Clifford said and so we left.
