After four hours in the operating room finally it’s done but still I’m unconscious. The Doctors transferred me to the ICU room. They told my parents that I’m not stable and still in danger.My mother cried a lot that day as well as my father. Shane was so scared that the worst thing would happen to me. She kept on praying and begging God to save me, to save my life.“Mrz. Santillan, I'm sorry to say this but your daughter is in a coma. We found out that there’s a blood clot on her brain and there's damage in her skull as well when the operation is in process. We can’t say when she will be able to wake up,” the Doctor said.My mom cried and she felt weak on her knees. Dad held her tightly and hugged her, “ Honey, we need to be brave for Roxy’s sake. We need to fight for her and believe that she can make it through and she will wake up soon.”“You’re right Honey. Our daughter will wake up soon and greet us with a smile. I believe in her Bernard. Our baby is a strong woman. She can surpa
One week went by and a miracle happened to me. I woke up one morning. My family burst into tears as well as my girlfriend. They’re so happy and thankful that I finally woke up. My Doctors are still monitoring my condition and my health. Even though I woke up in a coma, my body is still so weak. I feel that I can’t breathe everytime that I speak.“Baby, your dad and I are so happy that you are finally awake. We are so afraid that we might lose you,” mom said while crying.I slowly held her hand to comfort her, “Mommy, I’m okay now.”I said in a weak voice. My Doctor advised me to not force myself to talk more because it causes me difficulty in breathing. I still have oxygen to help me breathe easily and still more health monitoring devices on my body to check my conditions.Shane visited me in the afternoon after her working hours. She makes sure that I’m okay. She feeds me some soft food that is only allowed by my Doctors. She always held my hand and talked to me happily. She tells me
Every passing day I always felt a severe headache. My parents panicked and called my Doctor. And as expected my condition is getting worse. Shane cried non-stop that day when I had an attack. She begged me to return to the hospital for treatment. But I refuse because my Doctor already said that my time is closing in. I don’t want to waste my remaining time in the hospital. I wanted to be with my loved ones and spend my time with them.One morning I told my dad that I wanted to go out to the garden to have some fresh air. He and mom accompanied me there. They brought some food and drinks if I ever wanted to eat. The fresh and cool air that brushes on my skin felt good. I felt refreshed but I also felt sadness in my heart. I wonder if this was the last time I felt the cool breeze of fresh air together with my family.Sometimes I honestly felt angry at the one who created me, the one and only our mighty God. I asked him why I needed to leave this beautiful world. Why do I need to leave m
How do you define love? A matter that speaks in general a love to yourself, a love of a friend, a love of a family and a love of a lover all that includes trust, understanding and acceptance. But what if the love that you wanted the most, an understanding and acceptance that you need most can’t be given to you by your family. What will be your resolve, especially when it’s all about yourself?In a white sand beach I slowly walk on the shore seeing a wonderful and mesmerizing beauty of nature. It calms my mind and brings peace to my heart. I’m Roxy Santillian, Twenty five years old. A successful business woman. I am here now by myself in this beautiful place to think of everything that happened to me and to my family. I fought with my mother because she didn’t accept me for who I am being a lesbian liking the same genders as me. She strongly disagreed about it and she started to say hurtful words to me that really broke my heart.Gathering all my courage one day I confess to my mom, “M
It’s already midnight. I know that my parents are already asleep by now. I slowly opened my door to go out and I was so shocked because I saw my dad standing in front of my room.“Dad!” I silently scream seeing him in front of my room.“Shh..Sweetie, I know that you will do this, that's why I’m here. For sure your mom will freeze all your cards when she knows you ran away. That's why I will give you this card so you don’t need to worry about money when the time comes.”I hugged my dad tightly as my thanks to him, “Dad, I promise I will come back soon. I just need some time to think of the solution regarding mom’s decision to marry me off.”“I understand Sweetie, just be careful and be safe wherever you will go and contact me no matter what happens okay.”“Yes Daddy I will. Thank you so much and I love you so much Dad. I need to go before mom wakes up.” Dad kissed my forehead as goodbye.And now I’m here on the beach far away from the city and far from my family. I joined a group of pe
Everything goes smoothly between our family. Shane also introduced me to her parents. They happily accepted our relationships. My mother urged my girlfriend to introduce them to her parents and as I expected my mom offered them business cooperation when we have a family dinner together.“Shane, thank you for your help. I know my mom won’t stop bugging me about introducing them to your parents.”We are walking to their garden now after our dinner with her family. My parents are still talking to them about business and their future cooperation.“It's nothing, Roxy, my parents also want to meet them and they want to know more about you.”I held her hand while walking, “Shane, I want to know you more. Every second of the day that I’ve spent with you is filled with happiness. You are my sunshine.”“You are really a sweet talker Roxy, I bet that you can catch the heart of every woman that you want,” she said while laughing.“I’m telling the truth Shane. I’m not like this with every woman th
Weeks went by and I became so busy with our company as well as Shane. She already went to the Us for the fashion show. We sometimes call and message each other when we have time. She told me that tomorrow the event will be shown live on television for world wide showing. I promised her that I was going to watch it but she didn’t know that I would come there personally by tomorrow.“Dad, Mom, I'm going to the US tonight. I wanted to surprise Shane,” I said while we were having our breakfast.“Wow! My precious is so sweet, don't you think Margareth?” Dad said and I know that he’s teasing me.“I have no comment Bernard, just mind our business cooperation with Shane's family okay.”I sigh and continue eating. My mom is just filled with thoughts all about business all about how our company will grow even more. I felt so sad that she didn’t even think of my happiness even just a little. My dad held my hand to comfort me.I went first to the company after breakfast and when I was already at
It’s already six in the morning and I am at the hotel right now in the US. I already have my VIP ticket for Shane’s show later on. I need to buy her a gift that she would like. I freshened up and had my breakfast so that I could go earlier to buy her a gift and I decided to call her.I dialed her number and she answered it immediately, “Hello Love! I miss you!”“I miss you too, Love. How are you doing today? Are you ready for the show later?”“Yes love I’m ready you know me I’m always excited working like this. I wish that you’re here to watch me,” Shane said with a bit of sadness in her tone.“I’m sorry about that, Shane. You know my work is piled up right now and I can’t get away.”“I understand Love, don't worry, just watch me on the screen later okay.”“Thanks, good luck to your show. I love you.”She hung up the phone after saying she loves me too. I felt her sadness but that won’t last. I hope everything went well later on. I went to a famous jewelry shop to choose a gift worthy
