Trigger Warning: Suicide
31
I still didn't get a chance to sleep. After Arthfael and I had dinner, we fixed our things that we needed in Paris. I contacted my team and reminded them of the time of our flight. After that, Arthfael and I went to the hospital to check on my mom with our things. Arthfael bought a ticket to Paris, and luckily he got the same flight as I had.
I recognized how Mommy and Daddy weren't talking while both of us were there in her private room. Mommy was even avoiding looking at Daddy, who was just beside her.
I sighed to myself and wished to fix their problem immediately. Mommy was talking to me. She was smiling but still sad about what happened.
The baby that she lost was just two weeks old in her womb. I can sense her displeasure and sadness about what happened, but she continues to smile while giving me fashion week reminders.
She will not attend anymore, of course. I don't know if she will be replaced or not.
"Please take care of her," Mommy said to Arthfael.
Arthfael smiled and nodded to my mom. "I will always take care of her, Tita."
"Do well on the show, enjoy." Mommy turned to say that to me.
I smiled and nodded at her. She held my hand and caressed my cheeks.
"I love you, Maia ko."
I glanced at Daddy and saw that he had bowed his head. Mom's teary eyes made my heart ache.
"I love you too, mom," I replied.
We just stayed at the hospital for hours. I slept on Arthfael's shoulder, and I don't know if he did the same thing. At three, we leave the hospital. Daddy was with us. He drove the car to my office first.
Nandoon na ang team at ang mga model ko. Si kuya Gilbert and driver sa Van na sasakyan nila. I greeted and checked if everything was completed, and I was very relieved that I had nothing to worry more about.
Everyone slept on the plane. I was very tired and slept peacefully in Arthfael's arms. Everyone seemed to be getting along with each other when I woke up. They're very excited, and I am too. Ivelise,
who was originally sitting beside me, exchanged seats with Arthfael. Even though we weren't telling her to exchange seats, she did.
I looked at Arthfael and saw that he was sleeping on my shoulder. I looked at Ivelise when he suddenly called me.
"Ang g'wapo ng boyfriend mo 'no?" She exclaimed. "Diba sa Canada s'ya nag-aaral? Doctoral?"
I nodded.
The other model and the employee who was near us looked at my sleeping boyfriend.
"Ang swerte n'yo naman sa isa't isa, h'wag kayong maghihiwalay ha?" Ivelise told me, smiling.
I didn't answer her. I was looking at her eyes because I could see how sad they were. She turned to avoid my eyes when she saw me staring at her.
"Ilang taon na ba kayo, Miss Khal?" Tanong ng assistant designer ko na katabi ni Ivelise sa upuan.
"Eight years," I answered.
They gasped and seemed shocked by my answer.
"Wow! No plans to marry each other?" She asked.
I smiled. "He's still studying."
She nodded.
"But we have planned to marry after he finishes his residency." I added.
