Part 3: Endless Pain

Months passed. It was September.

“Ma… here’s you---“ I suddenly drop what I am holding. I felt pain. My vision went black still I felt Ma’s hands on my head. I don’t know what had happened then.

The moment when I woke up I saw white. I’m in this imprisonment again. I saw the ceiling fan above me, just turning and turning. The dextrose attached on my right hand and the door suddenly opened. It was Mama and Papa.

“Mie…” I saw her eyes. She was crying.

“…”

“… You had cancer.”

---------20---------------------

I was in silence I don’t want to say anything. My heart’s crushed into millions of pieces upon hearing those words. Then papa started to talk.

“You were already 3 weeks unconscious. The doctor says that they already removed your other ovary. Sorry Anak (child)...”

*Drop*

---------21---------------------

I’m crying again. 3 weeks? I was 3 weeks asleep? I thought I’m ok. I thought my system’s stable now. I thought… I thought… WRONG! These are all lies.

…me being okay. My… my own body betrayed me. It lied to me.

“You’ll gonna stay here for some test. Okay? We’re gonna visit you momentarily. Now, we’re gonna leave, your sisters and brothers needs us. Okay? The nurses will take care of you. I’ll do anything for you to be okay.” He kisses my forehead and so do mama.

*nod*

---------22---------------------

I’m in pain. It hurts so badly.

The door slowly shuts. I’m alone again. I’m trapped here, no one to talk to. I miss them already.

The nurses visited me every hour while Papa and Mama Come in the morning and stayed for two hours and after that I’m alone in this room. I cry in silence.
