Coraline POV
After going to bed fron last night i dont remember anything. And I wake up in a white wall with a lot of lights.
"Oh mhy ghad!where am I"
Lucia:thanks God ok kna?how are you feelin?may masakit ba?nagugutom kana ba?
"Okay lang ako medyo ang sakit ng ulo ko. Wait san tayo uwi na tayo"
Lucia: hindi pa pwede kasi ang taas ng lagnat mo kaya bumaba ang platelets mo so you need to be confined and yung allergy mo ghash na trigger ni water from the rain
I don't know how to act about the situation basta ang alam ko is nag aalala sila ng sobra.
Ross: good morning Cors. So the doctor needs to talk to you about your allergy and the latest lab test shows that your platelet count are good and you can go home mamayang gabi.
Doctor: good morning miss Ward. So napasama na ata yung allergy mo through the contact from allergens maybe sa environment mo. Aware ka ba sa condition mo?
"Auhm yes doc. I visited my derma before and i have a sensetive kaya di ako masyadong maka contact sa mga scents and dusty places. But before ok lng nmn siya ointment lang nakakalma na but now parang hindi na talga."
Doc:yes youre right . So as you expected ang simpleng allergy mo is nahulog na sa contact dermatitis. Ito yung condition that you can no longer use things with fragrance and with those who have a string chemical content kasi napapaso nito yung skin mo. And nangyari ito kasi matagal kang na expose sa tubig. So we have nothing to do with your condition kundi prevention nalang. Take your meds kapag umataki and stay away sa environment na ganon. No perfumes and strong soaps. Hanggat maari use baby products kasi mild lang yun.
"Okay doc thank you"
Ross: okay Cora pahinga kana muna. Process ko lng yung bills mo so we can go kapag okay na.
Natulog lang ako para gumaan ang pakitamdan ko and a bit sad kasi yung kinakatakutan ko dumating na lumala na ang allergy ko. And anytine to i may suffer to acute uticaria and kapag nangyari yun i dont know what to do.
Ross POV
Cashier: heres your change sir
"Thank you"
*mom calling*
"Hello mom,yes?"
Mom:ano na ok na ba si Coraline?
"Yes mom i settled her accounts already and uuwi na din kami. Di kasi siya komportable dito sa hospital"À
Mom:actually im already here to see her
"Mom it means a lot to me thank you"
Mom:ofc anyone you love,i love too. So let me do my things anak. Its my way of telling you i love you and i support you
I met mom at the elevator going to Coras room.
"Cora wake up,my mom is here Zannie Yu"
Mom:good morning iha. How are you feelin?
Cora:Okay na po tita,im Cora-Coraline Ward po nice meeting you po. Sorry parang ang gulo ata ng mukha ko ngayon"
Mom:Its okay iha,it's nice to know that finally your okay. Ihahatid kita pauwi
Cora:Hala okay lang po tita,baka abala pa po sa inyo. Okay na po ako☺☺"
Mom:its okay let me do my things
Nakakahiya talaga kasi si tita yung nagliligpit ng mga gamit ko. Nagbibihis sakin. And pinasuot niya ako ng pajama and white t shirt nalang and a coat na dala niya for me.
Cora:Auhm thank you talaga tita,it means a lot for me."
Mom: wala yun and alam ko na mahalaga ka sa anak ko. And i like your personality. Pumunta ka sa bahay nak pag weekends kasi dun mas maalagaan kita and makikilala. I miss having a baby girl narin kasi.
Cora:yung ate ni Ross po ba tita.
Mom:parang natagal na siyang nawala saakin. After na pinahiwalay na namin sila nong boyfriend niya noon kasi naka fix marriage na siya eh. Pero nabuntis siya kaya nong ok na kami na iurong yung marriage namatay naman yung bf nya sa car accident. Kasi nga lasing and hindi makayanan yung sakit ng loob. Kaya nag iba ang mundo ni Zane. Nakikipag-usap lng siya samin pag office related issues and she never had a friend again. Office -bahay lang siya. Its been 5 years na since that happened.
Cora:nakaya mo yun tita?
Mom:i have no choice because I'm a mom and it was my fault also
Mom started crying as she always do . Her cracking voice as she shared something to Coras and Cora hug her and i can see her that she is longing that tight hug fron Zane.
Umalis na kami ng hospital and mom take Cora to a pizza house. Umabsent nalng muna ako to take good care of Cora. Kain lang kami and alam kong nag eenjoy si mama. Her eyes says it all while si Cora alam kong pagod siya and masakit pa siguro niya slight pero kinakaya niya kasi nakikita niya s mama na masaya. So pumunta muna ako ng gorcery to buy Cora the new soaps that she needs. Baby products talaga lahat kasi nga sa skin condition niya. And pagbalik ko nagkukwentuhan parin sila si mama tawa ng tawa
"I guess we have to go kailangan ng magpahinga ni Cora"
Mom:okay lets go
Mom rides at the back seat and let Cora slept in her shoulders. Pagdating ng dorm humiga na si Cora d na siguro kaya. Mom bid goodbye and Cora as well.
Mom:goodbye sweetheart. See you at Ross birthday party ha. Ill be around on your upcoming performance. Love you tawagan kita lagi.
Cora:thank you tita so much. Love you too ingat ka tita pauwi.
