Chapter 30- His Dream

Chrim's PoV

I stared at his face habang mahimbing siyang natutulog. Katatapos lang naming magkwentuhan at ayan, dinalaw na siya ng antok. I told him that I won't leave unless he sleeps.

"I've decided. Hanggang dito na lang, hindi ko na kayang patagalin pa dahil baka mas hindi ko kayaning iwan ka. I would love to spend the rest of my life with you pero ayokong sa oras na mawala ako'y hindi ako kampante sa kalagayan mo. I want to keep you safe at least. Magagawa ko lang iyon kung lalayuan kita ngayon pa lang. Hindi mangyayari sa iyo ito kung hindi dahil sa akin. Hindi ko na kayang makita kang nahihirapan dahil sa akin.'Pag wala na ako, hindi ka na niya guguluhin pa. 'Pag wala na ako, hindi ka na niya sasaktan pa. I don't want you to get involve with this anymore. I just want to keep you safe. I love you, Kuya Melrein. I'm sorry but I have to leave." I wiped my tears before I went out of his room.

Christian's PoV

I drove to the hospital and saw how sad she is.

"Nakausap mo na siya?" I asked and she nodded.

"Pwede ko bang malaman ang napag-usapan niyo?" I asked again.

Tiningnan niya ako at lumuwag ang pagkakahawak niya sa bag niyang nakasukbit sa balikat niya. A week already passed at tatlong araw na mula nang magising si Melrein. From then on, bago pumasok at pagkakatapos ng klase ni Chris ay dito siya dumidiretso.

Instead of answering my question, she dropped her bag on the floor and hugged me as tight as she could and cry.

"Kuya.." I hate it when she cries but hugging my little sister is the least that I can do whenever she's like this.

"I just told him to get well very soon. I don't think I can tell him." She said and cries harder.

I pat her back and try to calm her. It would be bad for her if she won't stop crying.

"A-are you sure about this, Chris?" Tanong ko. I also want this for her pero natatakot pa rin ako sa maaaring nararamdaman niya ngayon.

"I'm sure of how much I- I need this but I'm not sure I can handle this." I sighed with her answer.

"Kuya, s-seven months na lang." I guided her towards my car.

"Stop talking about that, Chris." I said.

"We both know that, Kuya. P-pitong buwan na lang ako kaya gusto kong gawin ito." Sabi nito at tumungo.

"Chris, can't you finish this summer school? This is yours. This is one of your dreams." I said.

"Y-yes and I'm glad I achieved even one of my dreams." Sabi nito at pilit na ngumiti nang tumingin ito sa akin.

"How about one of your biggest dreams?" I asked that made her loose her smile.

"Y-you know I can't achieve any of those." She said. May dalawa siyang pinakamalaking pangarap, the first one is to graduate college. The second one is to marry the man she loves.

"You already have someone you love." I said.

"But I can't marry him!" Her tears started to roll down her cheeks as if they're on a race.

"Chris.. can't you at least think positive?"

"Thinking positively will end me up disappointing myself. Kuya, you know I can't marry him. Mamamatay na ako, h-how can I give him a family?" She asked but I can hear pleading in her voice. She's convincing herself that she can't but still hoping she can.

"Thinking positively is different from expecting. Positive thoughts don't lead you to disappointment, expectations do." I said and held her hand.

Chris is suffering in a rare disease called Myxedema. It started from goiter then after a surgery, it became hypothyroidism. There's no cure for hypothyroidism but it can be controlled successfully by treatment. Unfortunately, hindi makuha ang tamang treatment for her, sometimes tumataas or sometimes bumababa sa typical na range ang blood niya. TSH, FT4 etc. Myxedema is a type of coma that occurs when thyroid hormones becomes extremely low. Iyong TSH or Thyroid Stimulating Hormones na minomonitor buwan buwan.
