LOVE AMIDTS DOUBTS AND FEARS
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Lea calls me as she has promised. I pick up her call immediately as I sit in the lobby to prepare for a long talk with my best friend. As assured, I let her know immediately when Maddox and I become a couple. I texted her on our way home from school. I'm sure Lea will ask as many questions as she can, so I can't go home to avoid mom hearing our conversation.
"Hello, have you been busy?"
"Yeah, I just had to finish all my projects so that we could talk continuously. I'm so happy for you, Angel."
"Thank you, I took your advice. You were right, after all, Maddox has nothing to do with our family affairs, and I don't want to hurt him because of my personal problem. And also, I wanna be honest with myself." I replied, still with butterflies in my stomach.

Over the moon after what had happened yesterday in the man-made forest. It was surreal, to be honest; I feel my body is weightless until now on our way to school. "You seem happy today Angel, your smile could raise a dead, very opposite from the scorn face that you had yesterday." I playfully laugh at Dominic. "Is that so, Dominic?" "Yes, it's like all the weight has lifted from your shoulder. Did you finish your project and enjoy the start of the sports week?" "Yes, I sure did, Dominic. It was fulfilling and a relief at the same time." I agreed though it

There is nothing they can do to take me down. What matters to me is that my friends are with me, especially Maddox."Angel, is it true that Maddox is your boyfriend now?" Mom asked as I made my way to my room. I lost track of how I already passed by her in the kitchen when my mind was so occupied. For so many days, this is the first time my mom initiates talking to me.I pause to open my room door and turn back to her. Surprisingly mom doesn't look angry. "How did you know?""Someone told me. Angel, that's not important; I only want to hear it from you."

You seem so naughty today.""Me?" I pointed at myself. "No, way, don't be ridiculous?""Ridiculous? Me? Well, I am not the one smiling like a child for no reason.""Okay, enough with this.

I asked.Luke and Sam stop beside Maddox, panting. They are like running a few meters, probably from the parking area up until here."So, you guys, care to share what are you up to?" Mad asked.Luke pointed at me. "This is about Angel.""Me?" I said as my eyes widened.

"Everything is fine, don't worry," I answered happily in a low tone. I intend to have the conversation for just the two of us. "Cassy, how are you, girl?

My heart is pounding in my chest like the beat of a drum as we keep our bodies close to each other even more.We are both speechless until I hear Maddox cry. I feel so bad for causing so much pain to him. I hate and blame myself for every hurt Maddox is bearing. I gently pat Maddox’s back.“I’m sorry.

YOU ARE MY SUN A NEW BEGINNING
On my first day without mom, I visited our old apartment in the hope of reminiscing about those times with mom in our nest. I fix the things mom left as well as my room for me to stay in. Everything is in chaos.There are spider webs on the ceiling, and dust on the sofa and on the floor. The apartment smells like an old building that hasn't been used for years. I can’t believe how much dirt it accumulated during the short time we’ve been staying in Singapore and at my mom's funeral.I start cleaning the small living room, the kitchen, and the dining area. It took me almost an hour to finish even in just a small area. Next is my room before cleaning my mom’s room. My room is just as messy as the living area. I have to put some of the papers in the trash to make space for my school materials.
YOU ARE MY SUN GOODBYE MOM
Time stops…I don’t even know where Cassy and her minions get the nerve to visit mom’s funeral. The audacity they have is incomparable.“Hey, what do you guys think you’re doing here? Seriously? This is not a show.” Lea asks Cassandra as she gets close to mom’s coffin.Cassandra snorts. “We come here with good intentions. I know this is hard for Angel to lose everything, right? Not just her mom but also Maddox.” Cassy says the latter with a hint of tease. "That's why we're here to ease her pain. I know how it feels to be left alone."“Cassandra…”I can’t be wrong, I know exactly
YOU ARE MY SUN SHE'S GONE
Lea comes to us in mom’s room. Lucy is on the left side of the bed as she was trying to help mom make it comfortable and probably breathe easily. Mommy is like running out of breath which is worse than usual.“Mommy…” I hop on the right side of the bed.Mom only moves her teary eyes. She looks at me, her lips parting like she wants to speak up but is unable to because of the shortness of breath.“Mom it's okay, I’m here. You don’t have to say anything, mommy.”“Angel, is Aunt Athena normally like this when she wakes up?” Lea asks, her voice trembling in fear.“No Lea, this is the worst one but mom will be

It’s another day in Singapore and our last day to be exact. With a heavy heart, I pack mom’s stuff to prepare for our flight.“Mom, are you sure about this?”“Angel, this is the best decision I know. Let’s not argue about this anymore. We will have more time together in the Philippines.”Dad didn’t disagree with mom last night. I don't know why. Dad probably only wants to give whatever mom wishes.

Dad's luggage is open while his clothes scattering on his bed. "Dad, let me help you," I volunteer as I

“What is happening here? Ms. Lucy? Candace?”They both look back at me while helping mom on the bed. I see mom is having difficulty breathing.“Mommy, I’m here.” I walk over to mom’s bed and sit on the edge of it.“I already gave her the medicine Angel. Athena will be fine in a few minutes.” Candace says.“Thank you guys, but you should have told me earlier.”Mom holds my arm. “Angel…” Mom says between breathing heavily. “I told them not to…” She pauses for another heavy breath. 'I’ll be fine, don’t worry.” It’s hard for mom to utter a sentence.

Mom’s eyes look tired, the dark circles have been getting bigger and bigger for the past few days.“Angel?” Mom smiles lazily as she looks at me.I smile back at her as I walk over to the bed. “Mommy, I’ll help you sit on the bed.”Mom is so light that I think I could carry her like a baby. She loses too much weight while battling cancer. I sit mom in the bed and put a pillow at her back to make it comfortable.“Mom, what do you wanna have for breakfast? I’ll cook it for you.”“Angel, what’s wrong?”

I wash my face with water hoping it will help me awake as I only slept for at least 3 hours.It was hard to watch mom in pain last night.
