It's always been YOU

Dominique's POV

Hello Dom, the result of DNA is already here, ito ang message sa akin ni Dr. Michelle.

I'm here at school, nagdidiscuss lang yung teacher namin kaya I can sneak reading some messages on my phone.

Dom, where do you want to eat our lunch? Tanong sa akin ni Laura. It's our lunch break already.

Ahmm, I have some errand to do this lunch break Laura kaya aalis muna ako para makabalik agad.

Huh? What errand naman?
You know what? you seemed busy in this past few weeks. Hindi na tayo halos nakakapagsabay sa lunch dominique, reklamo niya while holding her waist.

It's about company matters, Laura. Kung isasama kita mas mabobored ka lang, pagpapalusot ko pa.

Hay ano ba yan! nakakainis naman ang company ninyo. Nakapout niyang reklamo.

I need to go na, eat your lunch on time, pagremind ko sa kanya bago umalis.

Here's the result, Dom. Doc Michelle gives me the DNA result.

Thank you po dito, doc. Response ko sa kanya.

By the way, how's your feeling?
Pag iiba niya ng usapan.

Ahmm, lately po if I remember something, sumasakit po siya ng todo. I don't know how to Control it because it happened randomly, although blurry naman yung scenes.
I stated honestly.

Dom, if your case is normal, I would be happy if may bumalik man sa memories mo. Pero with your situation right now, it's risky.

Actually, your uncle ken and I, have decided to observe you for a month with the medicine we recommended but if the swelling on your left brain artery won't lessen then that's the time we refer your case to a neurosurgeon.

Sa kaso mo, sadly nothing has changed, dom. Don't worry, we have a colleague, he's a neurosurgeon.
I can set an appointment with him on this coming weekend for your check up. Are you free?

Yeah, ang tanging response ko nalang.

Pagkatapos ko sa hospital ay naglunch lang ako saglit bago bumalik ng school. I didn't open the DNA result yet, maybe mamayang uwian nalang sa bahay.

................................

Today is Saturday, around 1:00 pm ang appointment ko sa neurosurgeon na sinasabi ni Dr. Michelle sa akin.

Hija, tatapatin na kita, your case isn't easy. As early as now, surgery is the best option here. We can't wait this rupture to burst.

Ito ang pahayag sa akin ni dr. Calvin while pointing the result of my MRI.

We need to hurry because any moment we don't know what might happen next. The early surgery the better, he added.

Doc, what will happen if I refuse to have the surgery? Tanong ko.

First, you will experience a severe headache, nausea, loss of consciousness, blurred vision, confusion, stiff neck at marami pang iba. Worst case, it may lead to death.
I suggest you need to decide agad.

Where's your guardian, by the way? You should tell them para aware sila sa case mo.

I don't think I can inform them about this po. Well anyway, I already accept my fate, doc. Surgery is risky as well, pwede akong ma coma or mamatay agad if something went wrong kaya mas pipiliin ko nalang e enjoy ang buhay, pahayag ko kay doc. Calvin.

I understand what you feel hija, pero try to consider my suggestion parin. I'll give you three months to think, that's the maximum time allowance I can give you.
