All Chapters of A Blissful Grief: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“I already told the patient to avoid herself eating forbidden foods but she still did. Kapag ipinagpatuloy po ito maaaring lumala ang kalagayan niya. I advised that she should rest and restrain herself from doing physical activities. She also needs to take her medicines regularly.”“Pero matigas po ang ulo ng batang 'yan, Doc. Minsan hindi nakikinig.”The doctor sighed. “This is a serious matter, Ma'am. Ilang beses na siyang pabalik-balik dito with the same reason. She should hold herself accountable with her illness or else...”I will die. Kahit hindi niya tapusin, alam ko na ang sasabihin niya. I refrained myself from listening to their conversation. Same concern and problem. Nakakasawa nang pakinggan. “Okay ka na ba, anak? Namumutla ka pa rin.”Kusang sumilay ang ngiti sa labi ko. Nasanay na sigurong magkunwari sa mga ganitong sitwasyon. “Oo naman po, Nan

“I-Is there any chance to skip the training?” tanong ko matapos ang mahabang katahimikan. It's imposible for me to attend physical training because of my health condition. Baka hindi ko kayanin.“Training is essential for hiring applicants. We want to make sure if they are able to save lives in case of emergency. Hindi kayang iligtas ng pagiging maganda lang ang buhay ng tao sa oras ng trahedya. Being a flight attendant is not about having a pretty or handsome face.”Natahimik ako. “If you really want to be a flight attendant, then obey our rules. There are many applicants outside who are eager to attend the training. You may now leave.”Okay then.I tried to speak. “How a-about the medical c-certificate? Is it necessary?” Itinagilid niya ang ulo at malalim akong tinitigan na ikinayuko ko. “Hmm... medical certificate is not necessary if you're already healthy. Fir

My eyes grew bigger. Is he kidding me? Ano bang pinaplano niya? My heart ached with hope and glee. Maybe his using this chance to be with me again. “Anong ibig... mong sabihin?” He sighed and bit his lower lip. “I'm still solving the case of my sister. Involved ka kaya kailangan kong makita ka palagi. I don't want you out of my sight... baka makawala ka lang ulit.”Nabasag ang pag-asang nabuo sa kaloob-looban ko. Nagising ako sa katotohanang kailangan niya lang ako para sa kaso. Is he still accusing me of killing her? Is he planning to put me in jail? Pero wala namang akong kasalanan sa nangyari. “I'm not the one who killed her--” “Still you're involved!” Tumaas ang kaniyang boses na ikinayuko ko. Nangilid ang luha ko kaya agad kong ikinurap ang mga mata. “P-Pag-iisipan ko ang alok mo,” mahinang turan ko.“Wag mo n

Kinabukasan, paggising ko ay naroon na sa sala ang unipormeng susuotin ko sa pagpasok. Maganda ang simula ng araw ko dahil sa kadahilanang papasok na ako. I'm now officially a submissive flight attendant of Rius' company. “Suotin mo ito. Don't be late.” - SoleI smiled as I read his note. It doesn't contains sweet words but my heart beats fast with glee. How could it brought warmth in my heart despite of his coldness against me?I wore the uniform he gave me and found myself outside the building of Soar High Airlines. Napabuntong hininga ako bago tuluyang naglakad papasok. My heart is pounding because of extreme nervousness and enthusiasm. What should I do first when I'm already inside the plane? I could imagine myself serving people with sincerity and pure bliss.Kasalukuyan akong naglalakad sa lobby ng nahagip mahagip ng aking mata ang pigura ni Hope na patungo sa accounting department. Binilisan ko ang aking lakad at huma

I woke up feeling better than the usual despite of tiredness. Inilibot ko ang paningin at mag-isa lang ako rito sa loob ng kuwarto. Sadness slowly build within me knowing no one's waiting for me to wake up. I'm about to speak when I felt something in my mouth and I noticed it was a tube that is connected on my chest. Isang ngiti ang sumilay sa aking labi ng my mapagtanto. I survived! Thanks, God for the second life.Napalingon ako sa pintuan ng ICU nang pumasok ang isang doktor. Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko nang makita kung sino ang nasa likod niya. Nagtama ang paningin namin kaya agad akong umiwas nang tingin. I couldn't look at him after everything. “How are you feeling, Ms. Fariscal?” the doctor asked.I gave him a thumbs up and smiled. I couldn't speak because of the tube in my mouth.He smiled. “Good to hear that. The operation went well and you still needs to stay here until you're all healed.”Tuman
