Her name is... (Part3)

Due to my parents’ works, I'm just alone at the house. I drag her in our house and force her to sit down. "What happened? Why did you cry hard like that?" I asked her. She never looked at me. I sat at the table to label right in front of her. "If you'll stay like that, I'll kiss you until you open your mouth and answer my question." I said to her due to desperation.

She looked at me like try to dare. Therefore, I kissed her. She didn't reply, she just let me kissed her but I felt something butterflies on my stomach so, I eagerly kissed her like I want her to be mine but she pushed me. Therefore, I stopped. I looked at her eye to eye. "You can't get anything from me even if you'll own me now." she says. "Please, let me go back home."

I just nod. While we were at the way, no one talks. Until she raise her hand saying stop. Therefore, I parked. She opened the door of my car and wave at me saying "Bye. Take care."

Even though, I don't agree that she'll just go home on her own, I just nod then she closed the door of my car.

She rode a jeepney. I start the car and drive myself home. I can still feel her soft and red lips like roses. I closed my eyes... I saw her beautiful face... Then, I feel asleep.

It’s been two months since I kissed her, but I never see her at the campus again. I heard some says she's pregnant, other says she dropped. Therefore, to kill my curiosity, I ask one of her classmates but her classmate says she doesn't know, so... I asked all of her classmates but the answer I get is just same. I can't think properly when I can't get an answer, so... I asked one of her professor, her professor told me she got confined at the hospital. Even though, I still didn't get her name, her professor knew that I was describing her. I thank her professor for the information I got.

After my class, I rushed into the said hospital. I asked the information section there but before the nurse answered me, I saw her parents. I give respect to them even if it’s the first time that we ever meet. I knew it was her parents due to I saw their family picture before.

I saw her... She got thinner the last time we met. Therefore, I said to her parents that I'll just buy something and I'll be right back.

I went to a drive-thru and bought some foods and drinks then; I went to market to buy some fruits and went back to the hospital.

While driving home, my eyes begun to blur... She's suffering from the disease same as my brother. Therefore, I rushed into the house. I saw my dad's car parked into our garage. I rushed in to talk to my dad.

The moment I saw my dad sat down unto the bench, I kneel down and tried not to cry in front of him.

He told me not to make any loud noises because my nephew was asleep. I breathe and tried to relax but I can't. So while crying I beg. "Dad, you're searching for my twin brother's disease cure, right?" I asked like as if I'm still a little boy. He nods. "Did you find the cure for it?" I asked again.

He nod and say. "It’s not cure, but prevention only."

I cried. "The one I love is sick... And— and her case is same as brother's... Dad, please... Let her live... Please..." I cried and begged.

My dad hugged and calmed me down. Then my mom came and asked why I'm crying like a little boy. I kneel down to her and beg for the life of the one I love. The next hour, my dad and I visited her. My dad talked to her parents while I'm talking to her.

They go inside. "We decided that we'll send her to abroad to continue her medication there. I'm going with her with her oldest sister." my father says.

The next thing he discuss is just a sound in my ear and I don't even understand it. All I felt is sadness that I won't be able to be by her side.

After all the papers needed, they decided to fly abroad immediately. As I stand watching her sitting at the wheelchair, she's smiling towards her family. She looked at me, smiled and raise her hand, signed that she wants to say something.

I labeled myself for her to see me clearly. "Don't worry, I'll be fine." she says in her normal rate of tone but for me it’s just a whisper. I brought my laptop and gave to her. "Let us e-mail each other. Keep in touch, okay?" I whispered to her and smiled. She smiled back. When it’s about time on their flight. She raised her hand and wave. I looked down. I can't avoid to shed tears. I can't avoid to think "what if's", but I have to be strong.
