TRUTH

CLYDE

(3 MONTHS LATER)

It has been 3 months since I had know Lixen, well all I can say about her she kind, carefree, cheerful, well I can't deny the fact that she is naughty and God loving I can say that she is perfect for me. But as the time passes by, I notice that she always feels dizzy, when the time I am asking if she is feeling well, her always answer is that because of fatigue or some sort of migraine. Well, I am hoping that she is doing well always, and I will be making sure of it.

She is the reason why I had change, because of her I choose to stop all my wrong doings like drinking alcohol when I like to drink, I also quit smoking and gambling because I do not want to harm her in the long run. Today is important day to me this the day that we officially become one yes today she said yes to me and we are officially together I thought it was unrequited love for my side I was losing hope for her not until this day come and she say yes to me. That is why today she is here with me in my house and she's making some snacks for me because we are making some school works that is needed to be submitted on Monday.

"Clyde!! What flavor do you want? strawberry or iced tea?" she asks while wearing apron, how she beautiful is. I guess I am blessed to have her.

"Iced tea will do honey thanks" I answered to him and smiled.

"Okay one iced tea to go! At your service sir" she answered and run in the kitchen.

"Careful darling! You might slip" I warned her, see she is very happy in everything.

"Noted sir!" She answered at the kitchen I just smile and continue working on my papers. Jesus there so much work on our plate it was tiring to revise and revise everything, but it is all part of being well educated people in our country. As the saying quote "no pain no gain" well, it all applies in everything. But we are the one carefully choosing those pain that is worth for our gains in future. Wait why is she taking so long? Probably she is ashamed of her own dish. But no worries I will still eat that.

"Honey! Are you done making our snacks?" I shouted as to her as I review her answer in my papers who knows if the prof might read this and ask me to explain it and I will be doomed if he finds it out.

"Hey, make it fast! I was confused with this one that you wrote." I shouted but It was no avail.

"Lixen hey!" still no response

"Lixen!"

"Hey Lixen!!"

Where is she? Is something happened to her? Wait let me check I walk towards the kitchen to check her but when I had reached the kitchen my eyes winded, she was lying on the ground.

"Lixen!!!" I shouted to her and run as fast as I can to reach her. What happened? Why is she lying on the floor? Did someone murder her? But this is odd there where no blood in the floor.

"lixen!! Lixen!! Wake up!! What happened?" I tried to wake her up but no avail I gently tap her face but still I got no response from her. God what on earth happen to you?

"Heyyy!! Nelda!! Someone's there?" I asked in one of our maids to help me in taking Lixen to the hospital.

"Yes sir? What happened?" the maid asks but I had no time to explain it to her God can't she read the situation.

"Prepare the gate and my car!" I shouted to her as I look at her face she is still in state of shock.

"What are you looking for?!! Move!!!" I alerted her that causes her to came back to her senses.

""Y-yes sir" she answered and run towards the garage. I gently pulled away Lixen's apron and throw it and carry her to my car. It was a long ride God I hope Lixen is fine please can you do that for me.? As soon as we arrived at the hospital the stretcher was immediately pulled away and one of the nurses approach me to hand Lixen to them. As soon as the stretcher pulled inside, we immediately followed her but when the time we reach the emergency one of the nurses block us saying that we are not allowed to enter so we had no choice but to wait for the findings.

God what happened to her?

Did it end well?

"Who is the relative of the patient?" I was shocked when I heard the doctor's voice.

"It's me doctor, I'm her boyfriend. What happened doc?" I asked.

"I am sorry but can't tell it to you where are her parents?" The doctor asked me?

"Oh they are on their way here doc can you please tell it to me doc? Ill be the one to tell them your findings". I begged for the doctor to tell his findings in me, swear I will do anything for him to tell me everything.

"okay if you insist" Oh Jesus I owe you one this time finally he is willing to tell it to me.

"I am sorry but as the time goes by her condition is getting worst" the doctor told me. But wait I am confused is she having illness? Or what? Can someone enlighten me?

"What? Getting worst?" I asked the doctor with confused look.

"She is having a brain tumor? When was the time it started? Is she hiding it to me?" I was completely clueless about this thing is this the reason why she was always feeling dizzy? Why she looks pale? Because she has illness, and she didn't tell it to me? Why lixen? Did you just hide this important thing in your life? I was filled with thoughts and doubt of myself if had become a good boyfriend I known it earlier.

"What should we do doc? Is she needed to undergo a surgery? What doc please tell me what's the cure?" My voice cracked because I was holding back my tears, I just cannot bear to watch her die in front of me.

"We are not sure at this time her last check-up result says that she is in the critical condition and the doctors concluded that she has only five months left." After I hear that my world was totally submerge What? Is this the end? My tears that I was holding back was started to fall I just cannot believe that this is happening is this a dream? Can someone wake me up?

"This is not happening doc!!" I am out of my words I can only feel my chest beating so fast this is very painful I don't know how to handle this but I need to be strong for the sake of Lixen she is all in my life.

"I'm really sorry and excuse I need to do my rounds." The doctor gently tap me on my shoulder before he walk as soon as the doctor take his leave I immediately enter the room to check Lixen.
