CHAPTER 2: CANCER

TRISHA

I couldn’t rest because my husband wanted me to rest I just closed my eyes, knowing if my husband was too worried about me so even though I couldn’t sleep I just closed my eyes and pretend was resting

I heard something as if someone had come in and heard if he asked my husband if I had woken up, he might be my doctor. I kept my eyes closed and listened to their conversation but as they talked for a long time, I couldn’t stand what the doctor said was saying.

“ do-doc will my wife die?” I got tremble at what my husband’s asked.

“ it depends on the patient sir, she can undergo surgery, radiation therapy, chemo, and treatments but as I said your wife illness is not easy and the cost of these is not a joke,” the doc said

I never thought our honeymoon would go into this situation. I couldn’t stand what I was hearing so I cried.

“ how much will it cost in case she will undergo surgery and other things?” my husband asked.

“ hundreds to a million sir” I cried even more at what the doctor said, we didn’t have to save that much. I can’t tell to my parents because they reject us since I got married to my husband.

“ hon” I called my husband and he approached me sadly.

“ hon do you need anything? Is there any pain?” I shook my head.

“ all right Mr. Garcia, ill go first” we both nodded, as the doctor left my tears flowed.

“ shhhhh hon don’t cry” he hugged me tightly.

“ hon I don’t want to die” I cried hugging him tightly.

“ hon you’re not going to die, the doctor said you’re going to undergo surgery, and if it’s done you’re going to be ok” I know my husband is just easing my feelings but I heard from the doctor that it depends on me whether I survive or not.

“ hon we don’t have enough money” that’s the thing that I am thinking, where will we get the expenses? We have both jobs but that is not enough to finance.

“ hon, did you forgot that you have a husband who will do everything for you” of course my husband solved all our problems but this time this is different.

“ ok ok, by the way, let’s go home so we can pick strawberries tomorrow” I want to go home and continue our plans.

“ okay ill just asked the doctor when we can go home or we can go home now” he kissed me on my forehead then left.

I signed and picked up my phone and texted my friends if they lend me some money.

*****

I am getting ready now because we’re going to pick strawberries, this is my first time so I’m excited.

“let’s go?” I looked at my husband who was leaning against the door, maybe he was looking at me before but he wasn’t just talking.

“ you looked handsome” I always say that he is handsome because there is no denying that he is handsome and seems to be single.

“ Really?” he smiled foolishly and approached me the pulled my waist closer to him.

“ This handsome guy is only for this girl,” he said then kissed me on my lips, I responded to his very hot kiss.

“ mmmm” I moaned to stop him because he might not be able to control himself beyond kissing will happen to us.

“let’s just picked strawberries tomorrow, let’s continue this,” he said and kissed me again.

“mmmmpphh!” I moved away from my lips from him then stared at him.

“ hehe okay let’s go” he hugged me and held my hand.

“ hon after this picking we will be back to manila” I frowned and looked at him.

“we’re going home already?” I asked.

“ yes we’ll be back in manila tomorrow” I looked at him and seemed he was serious. We should be back next week but why are we go home right away.

“ But why so soon?” I knew he was worried about me that’s why he wanted to go home.

“ hon, you know what my reason is, we need to go back for a second look at the doctor in manila” I just looked at him, even I refused he wouldn’t allow it.

“ don’t you want to spend our honeymoon first? “sad to say, we have been waiting for it for a long time to be able to celebrate our honeymoon.

“ your health is more important than our honeymoon, we can have another honeymoon when you’re okay but this time our priority is you hon” he explained.

I just nodded because it looks like his decision is complete so I can’t do anything but what if I don’t have my next honeymoon, what if I cant handle it and I die.

“ hon don’t think anybody just thinks about me” I raised my eyebrows at it.

“ and how do you know that I was thinking someone?” I smile at him.

“ seriously? Whose that ?” I laughed at the look on his face.

“ yes, I’m thinking the doctor, he’s handsome” I lied and I saw him frown.

“ I’m more handsome than him” he frowning while driving.

“ hahaha okay, Mr. Garcia” I pinched his cheek but his frowning still didn’t go away.

We have arrived at the strawberry farm but my husband is still mad but he’s cute when he’s getting jealous.

“ callix” I called him and poked his side but he ignored it.

“ Sorry, I’m just kidding. You’re my only handsome man” he looked at me.

“ good girl” he pulled me and kissed me but when I’m going to kiss him back he takes his lips away and smiled.

“let’s go” I looked at him madly, he did that on purpose.
