Nathania Jane Life's Journey

Chapter 70

REGINA: Good morning, baby! Upo ka na at nang makakain na tayo.

THANIA: Good morning, Mommy. Where's daddy?

REGINA: He's off to work already.

THANIA: Po? Is he not on his leave? The wedding is near na ah.

REGINA: He still needs to report pa daw eh. But don't worry kase uuwi naman daw siya mamayang pananghalian.

THANIA: Kumain ka na po ba? Join me na Mommy.

REGINA: Thania? Are you still taking your meds?

THANIA: Hindi na po.

REGINA: Why? Anak, you need to take it continuously.

THANIA: Mom, all I did is to take pills. Am I not overdosed with that?

REGINA: It's for your betterment. You need to take it after you eat breakfast. Don't be stubborn, Thania.

THANIA: 'Mmy, I don't need to. Let's just accept the fact that I can't live any longer now. My heart is slowly failing. And one more attack, I'll die.

REGINA: Can you please stop saying that! Mabubuhay ka pa ng matagal. An---

THANIA: 'Mmy, we are losing chances every single day. We aren't sure if I'll be having a donor before this month ends. Mom, ayoko nang magpa opera. Masasayang lang yong pera for the donor and for the treatment.

REGINA: Let's end this conversation!

Thania held her Mom's hand

THANIA: Let's just face the reality, Mom. I can't make it 'til the day of your operation. Hindi tayo makakapagsabay sa operasyon. Kase ikaw may donor na while I still haven't. It's really hard to find a donor for me. And why do I need to undergo operation nga po pala if yong asthma ko lang ang nagpapahirap sa'kin?

REGINA: Baby, don't get mad at us ha? But y---

LEA: Hi guys!! I have something here!

REGINA: What brings you here, Lei? You know we're hav---

THANIA: Mommy Lei! Ohh donuts! Is it bavarian?

LEA: I get some of bavarian. You can eat it.

THANIA: Thank you! I'll just get some plates for me to put what I want. Then I'll go yo my room afterwards.

Umalis na ito sa kinaroroonan ng dalawa

REGINA: Why did you bring donuts?! Lei, it's kinda sweet!

LEA:. And there's nothing wrong with it. You're just being too protective. Let her eat some.

REGINA: Lei! You're spoiling my child with sweets! I don't even let her eat even just a slice of a cake. Tapos ikaw ganon ganon lang?

LEA: I'm not spoiling her, Reg. Kailangang din naman niya ng kahit kunting sugar sa katawan niya. Let her eat kahit ngayon lang. Madalang nga lang ako magdala ng pagkain dito kase halos lahat ng dalhin ko ay bawal sa bata.

REGINA: Lei, do not pamper my child with those foods. It might trigger her heart. I'm just protecting her.

THANIA: Trigger? Who's heart?

REGINA: Nothing! That's too many, baby. One is enough for you. Put back the others.

THANIA: But mom?

LEA: Just go ahead. We just need to talk privately.

THANIA: Saviour!! Thanks Mommy! I love you.
