Chapter 3 - A Bad News

I conceded to Luigi's invitation.

The three of us went out that night.

"I am so proud of you two!" I told them.

"We are more proud of you, Eve! Because you are fiercer than the two of us." Said Ella.

"We are just here for you, Eve!" Luigi stared at me.

Later he ordered something for us to eat.

While Luigi is not with us, I confided Ella with what happened at my part-time job.

"Wait, Eve, do you know your eyes twinkle?" She ejaculated.

"What?" I was shocked by the question.

"You must be in love with him!" she confirmed.

"Right away? That is too much. I am just delighted because there are still men like him. "I took my eyes off Ella.

"Luigi, he still does everything for you but you do not celebrate that. You are not fascinated by Luigi.

There is nothing wrong with liking others. That is right! And you can not help it if you admire someone. "Ella's advice.

"Fuzzy! He will not like me. He looks rich. Professional! How can that notice someone like me? "I felt diminished in myself.

"Who's gonna notice you?" When Luigi returned to our table.

"It is nothing!" I said lying.

"Eve, you deserve only the best. So you should wisely choose the best too." Said Luigi and sat down again with us.

"You are the best, Luigi!" Ella's jesting again.

That is credible! The rich are also for the rich.

That is an unbearable reality in this realm.

So I should not anticipate and especially should not like that person.

I do not want to get involved with him.

"Ma'am, Snow White Skin Care, try it!" I offered the people passing by.

Snow White Skin Care Rejuvenating is the name of the product that I am endorsing.

I pulled up the chair to get supplies out of the drawer.

It is too high.

When I went down my foot strumbled.

Oh my gosh!

But luckily I did not fall to the floor.

With a stiff chest and strong arm, I fell.

"Si-sir, thank you!" I quickly let go of his association with me.

I immediately lowered my feet to the floor.

Stood up straight.

"Be careful next time!" And he picked up the fallen boxes.

I could not move. Then he fled again without further notice.

"It was him again? He saved me, again!

Again! "I chuckled and stared him walk away.

I gasped myself because the smell of his perfume seemed to have left my clothes.

"He smells good!" I was mesmerized to say.

Hey! Everlee, stop it! It is too early for you to dream.

I returned to the other box on the ground. I noticed something glowing on the floor. I slowly picked it up.

A small brooch with the design letter "N".

Is it him? Did he misplace it?

I hid it in my pocket and when we meet again I will return it to him.

I hope we encounter again. And hopefully, we will meet again.

One day, I was walking to Doctor Dani's infirmary.

"Mr. N? That is Mr. N. "When I made sure he got out of the car.

I run so I can get closer to him. The case was that he suddenly opened the passenger seat.

Then he took the woman's hand. And they entered the restaurant while holding each other's hands.

"Maybe she is his girlfriend! That stings! "I held my chest to the side of my heart.

I left and went straight to the infirmary.

Why am I feeling this way?

I have no enthusiasm today.

I am feeling broken-hearted!

What can I do?

The discomfort is so substantial!

"Doctor Dani, can you check my heart?" I suddenly asked him.

"Oh, sure! How do you feel?" he asked with concern.

"This heart of mine feels like shattered! "And I sobbed some more.

"Why! You do not have a boyfriend, do you? How can you be broken?" Doctor Dani grinned.

"Just gagging, Doctor Dani!" At once I recovered my frown.

"If you like a guy, do not hold back! It is good to love, Eve! "He advised.

It is said that it is good to love the right person. But if that person is in a relationship with someone, that is erroneous!

That will not be accepted anymore.

Since that day I have never seen Mr. N again.

He is no longer stuck in the boutique.

I cannot seem to return his brooch to him.

And he cannot seem to build my broken heart!

Ella calling...

"Ella!" My simple answer.

"Eve, your Mom, Aunt Leen, Mama rushed her to the hospital," she said stuttering.

I said goodbye to Doctor Dani and immediately went to the hospital.

"Eve, do not cry. You might get sick too." As Ella caresses my back.

"Leen is a tough woman, she will be okay." Aunt Ellie, Ella's mother said.

Eventually, the doctor came out.

"Who is the patient's family member?" she asked.

I stood up!

Then she made me follow her. She entered a room.

"Your mother has kidney failure." Her

introduction.

"What should I do, Doctor?" I immediately

questioned her.

"It is also known as End-Stage Renal Disease or ESRD. She requires dialysis or better yet a kidney transplant.

It will provide her longer chances to live. " she explained in length.

"Do what you have to do for my Mom to live," I said wailing.

"I will be honest with you. It is expensive. You need to prepare millions of money." she said honestly.

I shook while I still whimper.

"Where can I get that much money?" As I sat down next to Ella.

"Eve, Luigi, and I will help." Said Ella.

"I have savings, I will give it to you!" Luigi said.

"No! It is my problem. I will make it away! "I vetoed his suggestion.

After checking thoroughly on Mom, the doctor called me again.

She explained that dialysis would do no good for my Mom.

She needs a kidney transplant.

"If I could just operate on Loleen, I would do it." Said Doctor Dani.

"Doctor Dani, I still want my mom to live. She is the only one I have. "I said moaning.

"I will look for a sponsor to get the procedure done right away." Doctor Dani said with concern.

We have no land to auction.

We are just tenants.

We have a car to sell.

We have no money in the bank.

We have nothing!

Where do I get that ample money? But I will battle for Mom's life.

I do not want to be left alone! She has to live.

She needs to see that I can be successful in life.

I will purchase a house for the two of us.

I will be an anchorwoman that she can watch on television every day.

I will do everything I can.

I will not just give up Mom's life.

I will recoup my mother by whatever means I could!
