“You're awake.” The first thing she said to me. My eyes widened in shock when I realized that woman was not Jaime.“You? W-what are you doing here?” I stammered to her, and then she put the plate on the table.“It looks like I disappointed your expectation. Are you disappointed because I'm not the girl you were waiting for?” she said, and then she sat on the chair while I remained silent, just looking at her. “I'm sorry if I use your food in your refrigerator. I'm hungry and besides, we're friends, aren't we?” she added, which surprised me as I raised an eyebrow and winced.“Yes, you really disappoint me, and you always make surprises that I don't expect.” I said, and then I sat in the empty seat and she smiled. I turned my gaze to the food that was lying on the table which was really attractive, and it was as if its fragrant smell were kissing my nose. She laughed when she noticed the expression on my face, so I looked up at her with a trace of astonishment on my face.“Why are you l

Marie and I became close to each other, but there were times when we were both silent and still awkward with each other. Maybe we've only known each other for a short time, and we don't really know each other yet. However, I am glad that I met her, and she was the first woman I became friends with, the woman I told about my secret. Yes, I told her everything including about my illness so that she knew I understood her feelings, her situation, what she was going through and all her problems. She didn't believe me at first, and she even got angry with me thinking that I was just making up a story, but when I showed her the results of my medical, her eyes almost widened in shock, and she didn't know what to say to me. She almost cried in front of me, but I stopped her and threatened that I would tell other people her secret if she cried in front of me. I also told her my weakness where I don't want a woman crying in front of me. I thought she would think I was weird, or I was funny-man,

“Can I kiss you?” the word that suddenly came out of my mouth, then I quickly covered my mouth with my two hands, and unexpectedly I received a slap from Jaime where Marie witnessed it. Because of her slap on me, I woke up to my senses and I slowly turned to her while her face showed shock and surprise.“Louie.” Marie called me, and she came to me with a worried look on her face. Jaime's attention shifted to her, and she observed her from head to toe, where she noticed that Marie was wearing a patient gown.“I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit you, I was just shocked by what you said.” She said to me. I couldn't look into her eyes or her face, I was ashamed of what I said in front of her. Instead, I just forced a smile on my lips and scratched the back of my head.“I said? What did I say? I didn't say anything, did I?” I said as I looked up at her with an awkward face. Her two eyebrows were raised, and she was looking at me in astonishment. “Did I say something?” I added as I looked at

The night I left Louie, I received a call from a nurse where I learned that Carlo was taken to the hospital after he had an accident. I was so scared and nervous that I immediately got out of his car and left without saying goodbye to him. I was shaking with so much fear, and I didn't realize that tears were falling from the corner of my eyes while I was calling a taxi. Furthermore, I immediately reached the said hospital where he was, and I was stunned when I met him. Our eyes met each other as he looked at me in surprise.“Jaime? What are you doing here?” was the first word he uttered in his mouth, but I did not respond to him immediately, but instead I ran to him, and then I hugged him tightly while I cried. “What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did something bad happen?” he added as if he had no idea why I was crying like a child in front of him. He wiped the tears from my eyes with his hand and managed to smile despite what happened to him, that he almost died in the accident. I loo

That night I was constantly crying, and I don't understand why everything that happened to him seemed to be my fault. Maybe if I had come earlier or if I had met him as we both discussed perhaps all this would not have happened to him. He wouldn't have been hurt, and we wouldn't be in the hospital now. I was sitting in the waiting area with my head bowed and stunned because I still couldn't believe what I witnessed, and I also couldn't stop not worrying about him as he almost died while I was holding his hands. After a while, Baste sat next to me and I heard his breathing heavily. He handed me a water bottle which I immediately accepted, but I didn't drink it, but I just stared at it. I remembered when I was eating at the convenience store and when I accidentally dropped the water I was holding at that moment as well as the cup I was holding when I was in the hospital and Carlo was with me. I didn't expect that it was a sign that something bad had happened to him. My whole thought is
