Fragile Hearts

Hello Doctor

"Mom sige na, payagan mo na akong pumunta sa Manila. May trabahong nag hihintay sa akin don." Umiiyak na sabi ng babae. She and her mom was sitting at their sofa in their living room.

"You know going outside this country isn't good for you especially you're condition is.."

Her daughter cutted her.

"Ito na yung last na gusto kong gawin, mom. Gusto akong kunin nung CEO ng kompanya. Please, one last time mom." The girl's tears are already falling on her cheeks.

Her mom sighs and took a deep breath. She will make a big decision of her life. Tumingin ito sa anak, nakikita niya ang determinasyon sa mga mata nito. Gusto niyang maging masaya ang anak. Kaya nag desisyon ito na ibigay ang huling hiling ng anak.

"Alright." Her mom said. The girl looked at her mom with a widened eyes.

"What do you mean 'alright?'" The girl asked.

"I'll be sending you there." She saw her daughter's eyes sparkled. "Pero sa isang kundisyon. Ipasusunod ko ang private doctor mo don once na naka balik na siya galing England. He'll be staying with you wherever you're staying." She said.

Tumayo ang babae at nag tatalon sa tuwa. "It's alright! Yes mom, you're the best!" The girl hugged her mom. 

"Promise mo sa akin na sa oras na matapos mo yang trabahong yan, babalik ka agad dito okay?  It's better to tell your boss your condit.."

Kumalas ang babae sa pag kakayakap sa ina.

"What? No! I'll handle this just don't tell them my condition besides, I promise I'll come home safe." She reassured.

The mom took a deep breath. "Fine, pero everyday kang pupunta kay Marcus pagka balik niya para sa check up mo okay?" She didn't have a choice.

"Yes mom! Thank you!" She smiled widely.

"Kakausapin ko ang Dad mo tungkol dito." Sabi nito at tumango lang ang babae.

Althea woke up from her dream she instantly checked her phone. There's a message from Bea and Marcus.

Una nitong tinignan ang message ni Bea.

"Goodmorning Althea! I would like to tell you that it's your rest day. Yahoo no job for today pero bukas ituloy mo yung photoshoot niyo ni Frances Okay? Send ko sayo yung details later. Have a nice day."

She automatically smiled at her boss' texts. She then looked at the other message.

"You, wassup! My Althea! I'm here at California! Flight ko today so I'll be there later! Fetch me at the airport at 3pm. See you brotha!"

Natawa ito sa message ng best friend. Marcus is her Bestfriend. Marcus took medicine while Althea pursued photography.

Althea then replied to Marcus.

"I'll be there, Marcus. See you motherfucker."

"Althea!" The man wearing a aviator and a black coat is running towards Althea. 

Althea jokingly rolled her eyes.

Niyakap ni Marcus si Althea. "I missed you!"

"Hindi nag crash yung plane?" Biro ni Althea dito.

Akmang susuntukin sana ni Marcus si Althea ngunit itinaas ni Althea ang mga kilay.

"Sige gawin mo." Inilabas ni Althea ang dila. Marcus remembered something so he smiled sadly.
