"I am disgusted, the art of their guard." She rolled her eyes and came closer to me. I pointed to
the fugitive lipstick on her lips and she laughed. He rubbed it and placed the food in front of me.
"Did you eat already?" I asked and Navi came in, holding the towel and freshly washed now, she
looked away when she saw Nila and she showed me the medicine and I nodded.
"I already did, I'm full Kourtney. You ate, you're thin and you don't eat!" I laughed it off and
opened the burger, crying as I chewed it. Because now I can only eat something with taste and I
won't drink soft drinks. Burger and fries are okay.
"Don't eat unhealthy foods Kourtney, so you can get better faster." Navi approached and placed
the towel on the side.
"Your kill joy Navi, it's not bad that you feed Kourtney the food she wants."
"Why, are you Kourtney's doctor. Do you know her situation?" Navi returns and it seems like
they are going to get heated now, Navi looks at Nila and Nila is shaken by what Navi said.
"Yeah, I know that you don't want me here. Well, I'm out. What a nice treatment of yours Navi."
He tormented Navi and Nila kissed me before going out and walking out of Navi's room.
"What a pain in my ass. To be honest, I don't like that girl." Navi came to me and took a bite of
fries and grabbed the burger from me.
"You don't like her, but you eat what she gives?" I teased Navi and he shrugged his shoulder and
pinched my nose. He held me when he let go.
"I do, but the food she brings, I want and you are not allowed." I pouted and turned away from
Navi. He groaned and took a bite of the fries from me. I looked at it and ate what he gave me.
"It's a shame if I don't use it. And Navi, be nice to mt friend. She just wants to give me food, and
she is a nice friend of mine. She helped me a lot," I said and her eyebrows rose. Navi.
"Well, I still don't like that girl." I was saddened by what Navi said, he is close minded once he
really doesn't like people he will stand up for it. "But don't be so mean, even casually. Nila is
pitiful." I simply fell for the coke and Navi looked at me badly.
"I will try okay, but I can't say that I will do it." Navi stood up and showed what was on her
tablet. His general average and their graduation. "Well, make sure you're good at my graduation.
I want you to be with me while I receive my diploma." Navi caressed my arm and I smiled at his
caress.
"I will be there, don't worry. I will do everything I need to." I play with my hands while waiting
for Navi to speak again. It's like he wants to tell me something now.
"Kourtney, I know that this is not the right time to talk about our issues but I can't stop myself
from bringing this up." He held my hand and looked at me.
"Margaret went home, Tita picked me up. Also, she is my childhood friend so I can't say no. But
Mama can prove that it was Tita's idea. I tried to say no, but they insisted and I felt sorry for
Margaret if there is no one to pick him up at the airport." He looks at me and his look is pleading
with me now.
"Yes, I know and I understand. Maybe I am really tired at that time so I will just think about it. I
can't bear to see you with someone else," I said and took a deep breath. It really hurts to see him
with someone else and not me.
"Sorry baby, it won't happen again." I nodded and smiled at Navi. "Thank you for helping me
and I am sorry if I broke up with you hastily. I didn't mean it." I turned and Navi grabbed my
chin to stop me from going.
"Baby, we didn't break up. Do you think I'll agree to our separation?" Navi said and my hands are
shaking now.
"I will always understand you no matter what, because I really love you and I can't see myself
without you."
I'm holding Papa's hand while I'm next to him now. I have transferred Papa to the hospital, while
Mama is not at home, three days without showing me.
Aunt Amelie is sleeping on the sofa. Today is also Navi's graduation and I'm going to campus
now, a week has passed quickly and luckily I haven't had any trouble regaining my strength.
I have an appetite and Navi and I are fine. I have talked to his cousin and he will tell me the
truth. Navi was not really the man who used the car and Tita also proved that Navi was with her
in her office then.
"Papa, I'm leaving first. I'll be back later after Navi's graduation celebration. I'll leave you here
with Aunt Amelie, rest and heal." My grip on Papa's hand tightened. His eyes are now open, but
Papa is still unresponsive until now. The doctor said that he still needs to undergo many
processes to heal and stop the bleeding in Papa's brain.
Because after the tendon ruptured, they couldn't stop the bleeding right away, but right now Papa
is still on the ventilator and the hospital bill is growing, so I'm working on a way to settle the
bills.
It's just sad that Dad didn't pay off his insurance and we can't avail it, if even if we pay off the
remaining balance it's still not effective because after three years it can be moved.
"Son, I thought you were leaving?" Aunt Amelie got up and fixed her hair. I handed it water and
food. "Yes, but I waited for you to wake up so that Papa would be with you while you rested,
because you hardly ever sleep, Aunt." I smile and sit next to Tita on the sofa.
He just shook his head and patted my shoulder. "I'm fine, as long as your Papa is with me. Walk,
you might be late for Navi's ceremony," she said and fixed my stray hair, tucked it behind my ear
and stood up.
