Saddest Goodbye

chapter 59 : the visits

Miel has her visitors - my parents, her parents, her fellow architects, and fellow professors,

As Miel's visitors arrived, the hospital room filled with warmth and love, each person eager to offer their support and well wishes for her recovery.

Gio greeted each guest with a grateful smile, thanking them for taking the time to visit Miel during her time of need. He knew that their presence would bring comfort and encouragement to both Miel and himself.

Miel's parents and Gio's parents embraced her tenderly, their eyes filled with concern and love. They promised to stand by her side through thick and thin, offering their unwavering support and prayers for her speedy recovery.

Her fellow architects and professors from the university brought flowers and cards, expressing their admiration for Miel's strength and resilience. They shared stories of their time working together, reminiscing about the projects they had collaborated on and the impact Miel had made in their field.

As the room filled with laughter and conversation, Gio watched Miel's face light up with joy, grateful for the love and support surrounding her. He knew that each visitor brought a piece of comfort and encouragement, helping to lift her spirits during her recovery journey.

Together, they formed a circle of love and support, united in their desire to see Miel regain her strength and vitality. As they shared stories and memories, Gio felt a deep sense of gratitude for the community of friends and family who stood by their side, ready to offer their unwavering support through every twist and turn of life's journey.

Visitor: "Miel, it's so good to see you. Please wake up... We miss you,"

Visitor: "We've been keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. You're such a strong person, Miel. You'll get through this."

Gio, chimed in: "Yes, Miel is the strongest person I know. She's been fighting so hard."

Visitor: "You're lucky to have such a supportive husband, Miel."

Gio, nodding: "I'm the lucky one to have her. She's my rock."

The room fills with a sense of warmth and solidarity as they exchange words of love and support, united in their determination to overcome the challenges ahead

Another visitor --- and now Cass with Vanni...

The room hung heavy with the weight of emotions, each word carrying its burden of regret and longing for reconciliation. Cass's tears fell freely, her voice quivering as she poured out her heartfelt apologies.

Gio looks at her with emotions he doesn't know what it is... Is she here to wish Miel was dead or to be sure she's in a coma...

She walks towards Miel, and Gio stares at her... Ready to defend Miel if she's going to do bad to Miels...

But instead, Cass cried...

Cass:  "Miel sorry... Since childhood, I'd been cruel to you... I let you suffer in my envy... In my misconception that you are stealing my father's love... I am sorry..."

She turned her eyes to Gio...

Cass: "I am sorry Gio,"

Gio didn't answer...

Cass continued to express her remorse, understanding the depth of pain she had caused and pleading for forgiveness. 

Cass: "I am sorry Gio..."

When Gio finally spoke, his words were measured, reflecting the complexity of the situation. He acknowledged Cass's apology but emphasized that it was Miel who deserved the most apologies. His feelings seemed tangled in the web of emotions, uncertain of how to navigate the path forward.
