Pain and more pain, that is what Celestine's feeling right now as she continue coughing, "Tin are you ok, parang napapadalas ata yang pag-ubo mo" Imelda asked her granddaughter
"Yes mama Meldy I'm fine, nasamid lang ng kinakain ko" Celestine said to her grandmother as she drink her water, "apo why do I notice that you've been wearing longsleeves almost every day hindi ka ba binabanas" Imelda asked her and Cara shaked her head knowing that she'll lie again
"Uhm wala lang mama, I just feel like wearing it, I want to like join uhm, the trend of this teenager this days" Celestine said to Imelda "I'll be at my room" Celestine said as she left because she can't take the pain anymore
She keeps coughing and coughing, until she felt a sudden pain in her lungs, she gets her inhaler to stop the pain, she took a deep breath and started doing her breathing exercises
She began coughing when she noticed a blood came out from her mouth, she gasp in shock and she saw a blood started coming out of her nose, she run in the bathroom to wash her face
"Ma'am Celestine nandito na po sila ma'am Irene at sir Greggy" one of their maids said "I'm coming yaya, tell them I'm on my way" Celestine said as she fixed herself, she wiped her nose with a towel
She throw the used tissue in the bin before leaving her room, she walk in the corridor and she saw her parents in the living "hi mommy, hi daddy" Celestine joyfully said and she kissed both of there cheeks
"Ano ba Celestine, you're already old so stop kissing kasi nakakairita" Irene said to her daughter and Celestine just walked towards Liza and kissed her cheeks "hi Mama Liza" Celestine said and Irene glance at them
She felt an unknown pain in her heart while looking at them "Teka Tin bakit ka sa akin magpapaalam, ask permission to your dad" Liza said to Celestine "ehhh, how can I make him agree eh he keeps on making perma on his papers" Celestine complain as she hit on Greggy
"Well it's actually called job not making perma, what do you want" Greggy asked her "well daddy, I'm going somewhere pero I'm just mabilis lang naman" Celestine said as she hugged Greggy
Irene couldn't help but to imagine, what would happen if the both of them are close like Greggy and Celestine, she watch Celestine and Greggy's interaction with each other
"Can I go" Celestine said "nako Greggy payagan mo na, hindi ka tatantanan niyan" Rodrigo said to his brother in law "ano daddy papayag ka ba, sige na please" Celestine said to Greggy "Celestine, wag ka ngang spoiled brat, hindi lahat nakukuha mo so stop acting like that and act like your age" Irene said to Celestine, but Celestine just rolled her eyes
"One more roll of your eyes dudukutin ko yan" Irene added "Go ahead anak I'm allowing you" Greggy said to Celestine "Ho-" Greggy cutted Irene off "let her be, she's on a vacation not in school para pagbasahin mo ng books, let her enjoy her life" Greggy said to his wife, but she just rolled her eyes
"Thank you daddy, kaya favorite kita eh" Celestine said before running back to her room, Irene on the other hand, can't help but to feel a pain inside her, she wanted to cry but she can't, 'What is this feeling' Irene thought as she reads her book
Celestine, on the other hand, is in her bedroom preferring herself before going in the hospital, she's been experiencing the pain in her lungs for 3 weeks na before they go in Ilocos
She contact Doc Robert for consultation later, she decided to wear her white longsleeve and red wide pants paired with her white dior ballet flats, after dressing up she get her dior saddle bag from her shelf before leaving her room
"I'll go ahead na bye daddy, bye mommy" Celestine said as she kissed both their cheeks "naglalambing ka ngayon ah, here" greggy handed her his credit card "what's this for" Celestine asked her father "use it baka magtampo ka pa" Greggy said to Celestine
Celestine left the house and drive her car, she knows how to drive and have a license, she went directly in the hospital and she wore her sunglasses and cap so no one will recognize her
"Hello doc I'm here in the hospital where are you" Celestine said to her phone "I'm here in my clinic and we have a lot of discussion to do on your last week's lab test" Doc Robert said to his goddaughter
"What do you mean" Celestine asked him "just go here in my clinic tintin" he said before turning the phone off, she can't die she have a lot of mission to do, like making her mom love her like she loves her
She walk in the clinic and she sat down on a chair and Robert gave her a folder, she opened it "you're Diagnosed with cardiovascular disease" Robert said to Celestine
"I inherited it, am I right" Celestine said "what do you mean" Robert asked her "that caused my grandfather's death" Celestine said while tears started scaping from her hazel brown eyes
"Is it curable" Celestine asked him "yes it is curable, but for the mean time while it's still on stage 1 change your eating habits eat meat and fishes also wag puro gulay specially malnourished ka" he said as he hugged Celestine
"I-i c-cant die ninong" Celestine said while crying on Robert's embrace "you better tell your dad" Robert said "I will, but not now I'm not yet ready, I don't want to hurt him" Celestine said to him
"Ok I'll give you time, pero pag hindi mo sinabi ako mismo ang magsasabi, and for now I'll prescribe you some medicine that you'll drink every day ok" Robert said as he began to write down the medicine's she needs
She went to the pharmacy to buy the medicines "hi umh can I buy Quinapril, Moexipril, Benazepril, Lisinopril, and Perindopril, please thank you" Celestine said to the pharmacist
The pharmacist look at her and she give the medicines immediately, after buying the medicines she decided to go to Malacañang of the north to get some fresh air, it's her Comfort zone after all
She arrived at Malacañang and she entered the mansion, the guards didn't hesitate to let her inn
She went directly to the lake and she sat on the ground, Celestine turned off her phone and hugged her knees as she watched the bird fly around "Why am I born like this" Celestine cried, luckily she's alone there not even the guards have courage to go near her because thay know on how strict Irene was when it comes to Celestine
"Did I do something bad on my past for you to punish and torture me like this" Celestine shouted "First I don't have a mother's love, second I'm almost kidnapped when I was 11 years old, third I was almost abducted when I was 16, forth I'm almost raped last week and now this, I have a disease" Celestine said while crying
"Celestine?" She heard someone behind her back and she turned around and it's
