It’s not Leukemia.

It gave me a big peace of mind when the diagnosis showed that I’m still on the anemia level. I think my reprimands in recent weeks have really caused a lot of trouble.

I became so guilty so I pursued to go on the hospital every now and then without Hugh knowing. In the morning, he is in the office so I don’t have to worry that he will find out.

After days of taking my medications I came back to the hospital to have any updates regarding my improvement or either I still need to take some medications.

I’m walking so fast because I’m in a hurry for the appointment. I woke up late because of what Hugh and I did last night. *clearing of throat*

I hurried inside when I bumped into someone causing me to fall off my feet. I immediately felt the poison. I held my head and the man who bumped into me helped me stood up.

"Angel?" I look up into the voice.

"Echo?" My eyes widened.

“You’re back?” I asked for the obvious.

He helped me stood up completely before answering me. He s

    My back banged into the cold concrete and I almost passed out with the strong pressure I felt.I heard her laughing like a mad woman. I opened my eyes and I look at her. She’s like an evil into my eyes.Before I could even say anything, she slapped me on my left cheek and it almost blurred my vision. I tried to get away because I don’t want to hurt her but she grabbed me and pushed me again to the wall. I grunted in pain.She held my face and looked at me in the eye. I can taste a blood in my mouth. For sure because of the violence she did to me."You’re gonna die." she uttered and laughed.She spit on my face and that’s where it got me. I pushed her with all my might and kicked her on her stomach.I ran for my life, but since I can feel a strong pain on my back my lower back won’t just cooperate."Ahh!" I shouted when I felt her grabbed my hair again.Just like a spring being brought back to it’s place, she had a hand of me again and she did the same thing, she kicked me twice and my

    My hands are full of blood as I sat down on the hallway of the hospital. The speed of events… I've been happy lately and now this is how the world has treated me.I knew it. I am not mistaken .. My happiness are my debt in this world. If this is the substitute for being happy, I don't want to be happy.

Fortunately, someone helped us in the elevator to get Echo to the emergency room.My body is weak like a limp. I also have scars from Val's violence earlier. I don't where she is.

    I was just quiet in the room where I woke up earlier. If it’s the old me I should have gone berserk and jumped into conclusions right away without hearing him explain. but that’s the old me.I’m new now and a what I’ve said, I’ve learned in a hard way already. I learned how important the words are, how important it is to listen every side of the story and not just focus on your lamentations. And so i begged mom and dad about this.They had the right to stop me being with Hugh. After all I’m still Echo’s wife in papers. And i still respect the bond that’s between us. But also, that doesn’t mean that i will just be all open with Hugh.I’m mad. I’m confused and i feel victimized. i feel manipulated and clearly if it’s all true then i am right. I’m really am manipulated. Because if he didn’t do that I wouldn’t beg to come back to him and beg him again to be my surrogate. yes, this is all where it got us. we are both happy and everything just feel so right.But look what happened now.

    “No, you’re just telling me that because-”"Bullshit!"I got shock by his furthest outburst so far. His voice are like thunders, sending vibration into my voice.“You are to hear them while all I get was your doubt? Why are you so unfair baby? Huh? ”His tone is ripping me into pieces.“Either they’ve done something bad it is still not your business to interfere with-””It is my fvcking business! You are under their welfare and whatever might happen to you will forever be my conscience! ”I could no longer speak and was weak from crying."Baby please," his anger melted like ice earlier.He held me with so much care and I didn’t have the strength to fight anymore.“I’m sorry for the shouting. Please hear me out, ” he begged.My mind is a mess. It seems like this is probably the first time I can no longer determine what is right and wrong."Let's stop the fighting please, it's not god for you."He hugged me and placed my head under his chin. He’s covering me with his whole body. I’m sti

    I felt so guilty looking at Echo still out of consciousness. It’s been past twenty four hours since he was out of senses.Good thing he’s stable now. He had an affected organ so he had severe complications. Hugh is out of the scene. I told him it’s better this way at moment.The situation is still hot and we don’t want to add fuel in the fire. Hugh wanted to talk and settle with the Brooks as soon as possible, his ego won’t let him this day pass by without settling it with the Brooks, gladly he listened to me.I know one of his reasons is he wanted to be with me still while I wait for Echo to wake up. But I would not let that happen. I’m siding on him and to the Brooks at the same time. I don't want another mess to put another mess.Though our situation now maybe kind of a calm and cold water. We both value each other. We both know that there’s something wrong but our love for each other is so big that we’ll let it pass by for now.Everything I said before is true. And Hugh’s point is

    I was in despair for the straight two days that I took care of Echo. Because I didn't want to get angry with the people around me, I just forced myself to live with them."I thought you're going home tonight?" Hugh’s questioned.“Tomorrow night,” I again said.I can't remember if I really told him I was going home tonight. I am no longer conscious of time and time again. I barely had sleep because I’m at the hospital, just like when I’m still taking care of grandma. Echo is getting better and better each day. And I’m thankful for that.“Please, go home tonight. I can just drive there tomorrow morning. ”I sighed hearing him pleading. He’s clingy but he’s always the understanding type so I’m doubting if there’s something important that came so he’s asking me to come home tonight."Alright, I'll ask someone to look after him.""Thank you," I smiled a little hearing him sound so relieve.“I love you,” he said. I told him too and bid him goodbye.At that time, I also immediately called my

    "What?"I laughed ridiculously. He pursed his lips."It's my what?" I even removed my hand from him in shock.“Birthday,” he whispered as we are still swaying with the groove of the instrumental song.I can’t close my mouth because of the shock. How did he know my birthday when I can’t even remember it?"What day is it today?" I asked him."Twenty fourth of September, I danced with the only girl I fell in love with."My heart was beating like a drum when I heard what he said. His eyes are shut while he’s leading the tiny sways of ours.Looking back, I have this first impression of him.Arrogant, ruthless, manipulative, enigmatic. That’s how I always see him. Never in my mind that I thought he would be this romantic.Like my favorite flavor of ice cream, vanilla. He may look like the way he is, but he’s the sweetest when it comes to things like this.I leaned my face on his chest. His heartbeat are beating so loud, I can listen to it more than the music.

    The moment she realized she'd misinterpreted his actions, his words, his expressions for so many years ... as if he'd been speaking a language she couldn't understand ... that moment her words stopped was the moment her heart broke ... yet it was a good breaking ... the type that leads to healing and new ways onward; sometimes, the loss of words says more. -unknown"Hugo!"I hugged him tight like I never hugged him before.

Why? ” I whined again."I want you to love me as me, not the Hugo who left you a long time ago."I let go of my hug with him. His eyes are softly looking at me.“Yes, you left me a long time ago. You told me you’ll never leave me. ”I cried. He wiped the tears that kept on falling."I know, I'm sorry." he uttered.I cried and smacked his chest, it see

    I never knew I could be this strong. And now, I realized that after all, some things are not learned just by experiencing it. It can also be learned by yourself.You can dictate your own preference, you can be your own teacher. You can be your own standard, and you can be your own role model.
