Fallen Angel (Bruise Series #2)

01-

"Your Granddaughter has Chronic Leukemia Mr. Paran, usually it takes 2-5 years to cure this kind of disease. Chronic Leukemia is unlikely to be cured with treatments, compared to Acute leukemia." The doctor stated. Why do I have to suffer like this?

"Can my granddaughter survive it? I'm sorry I just really want a direct answer from you." He said. Almost begging.

Is he begging for my life? Tss that's literally pointless.

"I'm still not sure about that Mr.Paran, As I've said Chronic Leukemia is unlikely to be cured compared to acute Leukemia." Disappointment were written on Lolo's face.

Is it because I'm the only one that is left to our family? I mean Mom and Dad already died in a car accident when I was 5 years old.

Sucks I know

I mean how does it feel to have a Dad and a Mom? I don't know I didn't grew up with them. All I remember was, they always left me in Lolo and Lola's house. That's all, I guess...

"But the average of the total recoveries we have this year is 62.7%, Malay natin masali ang apo nyo sa mga makaka-recover sa taong ito. Let's give it a try Mr. Paran, we never know unless we try it. Besides it's for your granddaughter's best." He stated, half smiling.

The doctors always say that. Let's give it a try? What if I die? Will I trust him? I don't think so. I'd rather die in our house than to suffer in this hospital!

I wanna go home! I miss my Lola, I miss my room! I miss everything in our house, so just let me go!

Cause I don't need to cure this stupid disease. Mamatay din naman ako, so what's the point?

I remained in silent, I really don't want to interrupt them while discussing about my disease.

May leukemia pala ako? haha sucks, is this why I feel weak most of the time? It's like I have this persistent fatigue. Lolo once said that his cousin died because of the same disease that I have. He died and now he's scared that it might happen again. It bothers him specially because I got the disease that caused the death of his cousin.

Of all the people why me? I mean there's this part of me that has a remaining hope. Makaka survive pa ba ako? Sana Oo.

Okay lang din kung hindi.

I was staring at the wall of the room when Lolo suddenly came up. His teary eye brokes my heart. He is my hope, without him and lola? I don't think I can survive this pain I'm physically and emotionally facing.

I stood up and stared at him "Will I survive Lo? Tell me honestly, and don't boost my hope. I don't wanna hear false hopes. Masasaktan lang ako, ikaw, at si Lola" I said.

"You will survive dear, You must. I trust you better than anyone, I know you can do it. You're a strong woman, survive this for me and for your lola okay?" He said raising his Pinky finger.

"Will you promise me, Natalia?"He forced to smile, even if tears are already falling from his eyes.

"But Lo, Promises are meant to be broken-" He cut me off.

"Promises are made to make people feel relieved, it doesn't need to be fulfilled, but it satisfies a person's heart. So promise okay?"Naka tingin lang ako sa kamay nya. Tears are starting to fall on my eyes.

For you Lo, And for Lola I'll keep it. As long you live, I will keep my promise.

"Okay but in one condition." He looked at me, still wearing the smile in his face.
