11 He is back
THEA'S P. O. V.
Today Gradgie and I along with Eli, will go to the doctor to check Gradgie's condition. As usual, I'm nervous, it's my Gradgie we're talking about
I can't afford to lose her too
Could I just stop time, and if I do, I will make it mine, I will save Cath, but, reality, life isn't always by my side, maybe at least once, I can hear good news
Oh lord please
Will be today a good day?
When we got in the hospital, Gradgie went inside the doctor, while I stayed in the doctor's office will Eli, my feet are acting so nervous
My hands kept moving, my whole body is cold, numb, I'm nervous
Until Eli spoke
"Hey, Hermosa, everything will be okay, okay? Gradgie is awesome she is strong as you baby, so I know she will fight" Eli said
Which made me smile, this count never failed to give a spark.
"I know, thank you Eli" I said and hugged him
Both of us waited while our hands intecrossed each other, I have to admit, Eli is beginning to give me the brightness of the star like how Gradgie did.
Making me smile, making me laugh, making me the new me, he can make me stronger. I began seeing hope in him.
The doctor came out, he looked a bit relieved, so I started the conversation.
"How did it go doc?" I asked
"Looks like, Gradgie, is in good condition , I think, her brain is so efficient that tatagal Gradgie can choose to forget every memory, you see, the brain is so unexplainable in my opinion, it works in a mysterious way, and as I look at Gradgie, it looks like she doesn't have Alzheimer's at all,but we should be happy about this, things may go in the wrong way if it didn't go well for the going days" The doctor said
"What fo you mean wrong ways doc?" I asked
"Gradgie, should not experience, stress for a week, she should not also herself, mentaly and physically, it might open bad doors for her, so I ask you to stay with her home, that's all, and oh, come back here maybe, after a week for observation." The doctor said
I nodded, so does Eli, I looked at Gradgie, she is just smiling at me like everything is fine
And I know what she wanted me to know, that is, she is fine, she will be okay, but the fact she isn't, her memory will slowly be erased, our memory, our laughter, smiles, everything.
I don't know how to process this right now.
When we head home it was weird. Why is our house open? There are person inside the house, who are they? Are they thieves?
No they can't be, the locks in the house can only be open by card slips, and Gradgie and I are the only person who has those for our house.
I was scare they might hurt another person in my life so I asked Gradgie
"I'd go inside first Gradgie" I said
She held my hand and said.
"They are not enemy, my dear, I. know who they are."
She does?
Does Gradgie really have so many friends, but why now that she is sick
Why now when she doesn't need person like them
Gradgie is the first one who came inside
Gradgie stood high, looked presentable
Then she spoke
" Commander Travis, what can I do for you?" she asked
Commander Travis?
" I'm here with commander Lexus, Bernard and the others are busy, so they asked us to do this" Commander Travis said
" We chose you, Gradgie, you know on what, and why" Commander Lexus said
Chose? for what? and why?
Then Gradgie spoke
"Its good to have you both back, commander Lexus, commander Travis"
Gradgie said
"So, where is he?" Gradgie added
"In the comfort room" Commander Lexus answered
Gradgie hold on to my hand so tight
She spoked
"I want you to be ready, my dear"
From my she said, the same nervousness I felt earlier doubled, no tripled.
Why, to what I should he ready, to whom rather
Gradgie spoke again
"You can leave now, commanders, so are you Eli, we need privacy" She said
And the three of them left. Leaving Me, Gradgie and the one I should ready
Who?
I heard someone walking I knew it is it.
My nervousness is at max level
My heart is beating so fast when I saw him
Papá
Why is he here!? Earlier I was scared but when I saw him, I knew I was angry, he left me, he left his own daughter, his flesh and blood
I'm raging inside
He spoke
"My baby" He said
I became livid that I shouted
"Don't you dare use the word 'my' when it comes to me!!! You left me!! You left your daughter behind!! How dare you!!" I exclaimed
Until suddenly, tears started falling, Gradgie was by my side holding my hand
"I'm sorry, Thea, I had to leave, you won't understand me, I can't choose, I left and I'm sorry, you will do the same when your in my shoes" He stated in his normal voice
"No!! I won't do the same, Eduardo! I won't leave my 7 year old daughter just for freedom!! I won't leave!! Damn you!! You no longer have the right to own me, 'coz I disown my self for being your daughter! Where were you when I needed you? Where are you when I need a father? Where are you in my birthdays!? Where the fuck are you every celebration of my life!!!!!!" I shouted so loud
Then my voice lowered
" Where are you? But I'm so thankful that I have Gradgie, I have my own mother and father, she is best thing that happened to me, not being your daughter, but being a daughter to my own grandmother " I stated and left the living room, went upstairs in my room and cried my heart out.
Then I heard Gradgie speaking with Eduardo (Thea's Father)
you need to take her with you
Gradgie said making me cry much more, Gradgie will? Leave me?
