Theodore

AINE 26

She is getting weaker every day. It's been a month since she was officially diagnosed with brain tumor and as much as Blue and Theo want to admit her to the series of tests, she declined. The pain was too much to bear but the medicine are worse. Everytime tinuturukan siya ng kung anu-ano, she felt like she died.

It was a grusome experience to Olivia. She's not seen outside for a month, haven't breathe fresh air, haven't seen the moon and the stars, haven't listened to the birds and the noise of the cars and people outside. She's been admitted eversince they arrived and that makes her situation even worse.

"Hey pretty." isang boses ang narinig niya kaya kahit medyo masakit ang kanyang ulo ay nilingon niya ito. And here she comes. The ever beautiful Doctor Bella. She flew from the Philippines.

"Oh my goodness! You are here. Why are you here? Kailan ka pa dumating?" she smiled. She is genuinely happy to see her.

"Ofcourse I am here." lumapit siya dito at iniabot ang kanyang kamay. "How are you. You look pretty kahit naka IV." she smiled, a genuine smile.

"Thank you. Pero mas maganda ka, Doc." 

Bella sat on the bed and handed the flowers to her. It was one of the most beautiful bouquets she has ever since.

"Wow naman, super pretty." she almost squealed in excitement. "I have never received any flowers for the past weeks." sabi niya sabay tingin kay Theodore na ngayon ay nakatingin sa kanila.

"God, I am so sorry. Alis na muna ako." bilis na sabi ni Theo. Tatalikod na sana ito ng muling magsalita si Olivia. 

"Baby, I am just teasing you. You don't have to go." she chuckled. Ofcourse she is just joking. For the past weeks,  Blue and Theodore have been her constant source of strength. They always take turns in taking care of her. Pag wala si Theo to check and make sure everything is in place, si Blue and nagbabantay sa kanya. 

Her journey is hard but because of her fiance and brother, everything became less burdensome. Theo practically lives in her hospital room, in her hospital bed at siya rin ang taga ubos ng hospital food niya. She hates her hospital food kaya parang restaurant na ang kanyang kwarto sa sobrang dami ng pagkain na binibili ng dalawa para sa kanya. Everyday is almost like a birthday kaya pati nurses station andaming pagkain. She always makes sure the nurses eat well kaya ang ibang pagkain pinapadala niya sa labas. 

"Babe, I will take care of you and will provide you with everything you need." sabi nito sabay halik sa kanyang noo. 

"I know. You never failed to show me that." she kissed him on his nose. "The flowers is just a joke." she laughed.

"Hay naku, ang cute mo." he pinched her nose and sat at the sofa infront of her.

"So, Doc Bella, I didn't know you were coming. Do you have a business here or conference?" she inquired. Doc Bella smiled and shook her head.

"You silly. Ofcourse I came here for you. Blue called me and updated me everyday about your condition."
