Devouring Time

CHAPTER 4

           

POV Ivy

After 1 year

Chris and I been together for 6 months now. A man that I banned to the Sky Network is my boyfriend now! Our relationship grows together with love and affection. There are small misunderstandings, but we always make sure that conflicts and argument won't last long. Our relationship is almost perfect. Yes...almost till that day we discovered his illness.

When I met him I never thought that guy would have a leukemia. I know I must be strong, I must still think that we are perfect, but I must also accept the fact that life on this world has lots of imperfections. At this point in our lives we should be braver and cherish every moment. I'm still hoping we will get through this and everything will fall into places.

"Babe, it's time for your medicines" I informed him while extending my arms to help him get up from his bed. He's getting weaker each passing day and I'm starting to get worried.

"Babe, I don't want to drink those meds. I know I only have few days or weeks left here. I want to make it extra special for the two of us. I want you to be prepared. I want you to fall in love again when you're ready okay, I-"

"No Babe, don't say that! You will be fine sooner or later. We will fight together. I can't live without you babe... I don't even know ... how to start my day without... without having a breakfast prepared by my Chris.." I was choked by my sobbing.

"Ssshhh... Babe.. I know it's hard for you... and it's hard for me too.. Because I love you so much... But sometimes we can't get what we want. Even we love them so much... Babe ... stop crying... " Chris said softly.

It's been a week since we received a call from Chris' Doctor, informing us that we found a perfect donor for his bone marrow transplant. In that moment, we feel relieved and we had a high hope, that this operation will be very successful.

Today is the scheduled operation of Chris. His family, friends, and I prayed together for the success of his operation. We felt a very good aura inside the chapel of the hospital. I know Chris will get better soon.

*Kring Kring*

"Hello Direk Ivy, where are you? I'm on my way to Ilocos." My secretary said thru the phone.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" I replied.

"Can't you remember it's our movie shooting tonight! Our team is on our way now." She added.

I was surprised! I've been very stress lately to the point that I forgot even my scheduled shooting. I can't leave Chris now, but even if I want to stay I can't also leave my team hanging since I am the Director of that movie.

Chris' parents understood. They said my career is also important for the two of us. They also said before I leave they will update me from time to time. Even I had a very big hope for the success of the operation, there are still worries at the back of my head. I just think that this project will be a very big help in Chris' hospitalization.

I drove myself to Ilocos, I'm supposed to ride a bus but unfortunately, there is no scheduled trip last night. We are now taking the last scene here in Ilocos. Bea and John Lloyd is now kissing and it's my cue.

"And Cut! Good take. Pack up now and we are leaving in a few" I said to my team.

*Kring kring*

"Ivy! Chris had a very successful operation!" My future mother in law said.

"Oh my goodness. Thank God! Okay Mommy Joie, I'm on my way"

I immediately drove fast as I can to be with my Chris again. Because I can't hide the excitement I feel. All the worries are all off from my chest now.

I'm at the Roosevelt Avenue now, I'm so close to my Chris. When a bright ray of lights blinds me......
