CHAPTER 23
Zurich Airport or Flaughafen Zürich is the largest international airport in the country and the principal hub of Swiss International Airlines. It is located in the north of central Zurich, in the municipalities of Kloten, Rümlang, Oberglatt, Winkel, and Opfikon, all of which are within the canton of Zurich.
Daniel drops us at the entrance of the terminal that serves for International flights, Nurse Stell comes with us while Daniel takes care of the car. I roam my eyes around, the airport is as big as I last saw it a year ago when we came to fetch a dear friend who came home from studying from Philadelphia. However, The Circle is still under minor construction and getting ready for opening. It is a complex that is intended to include a medical center, conference center, shops, restaurants, hotels, and offices. They are hoping for The Circle's opening, real soon.
While walking, to the waiting area, I ask about Janice's flight.
"Well, they all came here w

On Miró Coffee, Dion's trying to explain himself as I cooly sip with my Cappuccino. "Sweetheart, please, talk to me?" I put down my cup and turn to face him. "What?" "You are silent the whole time." "I have nothing to say," I replied nonchalantly. He let an exasperated sigh, "Come on, what you saw earlier—" "Now, that's something." I cut him off, glaring at him. "You have the audacity to do that in front of me, in public, after what we've done last night after you got me. My god, I can't believe you!" He shifts and pulls his chair beside me. "Sweetheart, I know. I'm sorry," Tsk. I shake my head and resume drinking my Cappuccino, and then, later on, we're talking, like nothing happened. Well, maybe that's it, we shouldn't make things like that a big deal to make our relationship healthy. With that, I changed the subject into something more important, "So, uh

"If you and my son will agree, I would like us to go back to America within this week." I stare at Dion's sleeping figure. He looks so serene, no trace of Brain Hemorrhage, no trace of dying Dion, of Dion who's battling with headaches, muscle weaklings, and vomits, only that his brows are slightly creased as his chest rises and falls in a soft rhythm, and his mouth is a little parted. Dad— his father, wants them to go back to the US within this week so they could start the processes for his treatment as soon as possible. I stare at the open page of my small notebook on my hand where the list of places that Dion wants to visit in Zurich is listed. We've done halfway since he only wants to visit twenty places, and there are still several remaining places we haven't visited yet. I don't think we would be able to visit them all within this week. I know how Dion wants to finish his Zurich trip, and I want us to finish this trip too for th

I am currently staring at the blank ceiling of my room, the cream curtains of my window are dancing with the gentle wind. The night is mute, my room is cool, and it helps me to think things through."If you and my son will agree, I would like us to go back to America within this week."Dad's words keep on ringing in my ear, as Dion's situation is also in my head. And I know that it's better if they will come back to the US within this week. They could start the procedures for Dion's operation as early as possible, and that is even better— for him.But what about me? If going back to America within this week and starting the procedures for the operation as soon as possible is better for Dion, then how about me? Where am I in that?This is another conflict with myself that I have to sort out. I know that love should not be selfish, and I know too that love should not be always for the better of only one. It should be better for both parties. Right now

CHAPTER 27 My mother's words from last night are still in my head as I walk in the busy morning street with citizens who are up to work early. The sound of vehicles— rented cars, cab, some motorcycles, and bicycles are waking us up even more. Footsteps from high heels of some office girls, chitchats from some elders passing by, and gentle morning laughs of some little girls who are out early in the morning are also buzzing in my ear like bees or that buzz from a mosquito at night. Despite these things, I feel so relax and refreshed, although I sleep a bit late because after talking to my parents about my confusion, we engage in some conversation about family, catching up, and Zhairo joined us too. It was really refreshing, it has been a while since we last talk like that. A soft smile made its way to my lips. Last night, papa walks me to my bedroom door, and before he goes to let me rest, I manage to ask him why was he quiet the wh

Blood. Blood is scattered on the floor around him. Blood coming from his nose, his mouth, his eyes, his ears. Dion. My feet are frozen, I couldn't move. My mind went blank and I couldn't think of anything to do. All I can see is the red sticky liquid and Dion's lifeless body on the floor. It took me a few moments to finally come back to my senses. I murmur his name first until I just found myself screaming his name and the word 'help'. I didn't know what happened. I just feel that someone is pulling me up and they are lifting Dion too. And then after that, everything went black. Slowly, I open my eyes with the smell of ethanol lingering in my nostrils. The first thing I saw is the white ceiling, and then the white walls, everything is white. Where am I? What happened? Blood. A

Two butterflies flying freely on a garden full of flowers blooming in the fresh sunlight, only the two of them, enjoying. The pink butterfly flies farther, and the blue butterfly chases the pink one. Suddenly, it's me and Dion, running freely on the evergreen of Grindelwald while laughing our hearts out. I run farther and Dion chases me, trying to catch me, and when he did, he locks me in his strong arms and we fell on the bed of greens. I am underneath him, and he is staring softly at me. His hand caresses my cheek, and his face inch closer to mine, closer, and closer, and closer until our lips are touching, until I feel his lips pressed unto mine. Dion is staring at me blankly, I try to reach him but he steps back, and back, and back again until he is slowly fading away in a distance. I try to call him but nothing comes out of my mouth. I try again, but still, nothing. I am mute. No. This can't be. He is f

For once, I feel like I want to forget everything, and I feel like I want to get wasted. So, that night, I texted Caroline to inform her that I am on my way to their house and that I have something with me. When I reach their house, she was already waiting for me so I don't have to use the doorbell and call for her. In the living room, her parents are watching a TV show. I greet them and they greet me back and even ask me if I've eaten already. I lied and I say yes, and hastily pulled Caroline up to her room who's brows are knitted together. Closing the door of her room, I lock it, so are her windows, and ask her if her parents won't hear us here. For years that we've been together, I know that her parents do not check on her at night so I didn't ask it. Having the confirmation that no one will bother us with my plan that she still doesn't know, I pull out what's inside the paper bag I am holding and she gasps when she sees its contents. She look

Nurse Stell meets us at the entrance of the hospital. I was catching my breath by the time we reach the entrance as the moment the cab stops, I pay and immediately leap off and run as fast as I can. Caroline too was catching her breath and is glaring at me while doing so. "Go, girls. Breathe," nurse Stell cheered. A few more seconds and I finally managed to stand straight while Caroline has her hand on her waist as she catches for more air. And I remember we haven't eaten anything yet, and we ran like this. I owe her a proper meal. Perhaps I'll just treat her for food for today. "Let's go?" I ask her when our breathing comes back to normal. She glares at me again. "Can't we eat first? You know, we did not eat dinner last night and yet we got drunk, and now we haven't eaten breakfast, yet again, we ran like freaking athletes. I was just about to answer he
