“One last look…”
I’m Xierra Gienne Sy and I was 12 years old when I knew about my condition. My doctors told me that I have leukemia and I still have few years to live. Too cliché diba? Yeah I’m sick but that doesn’t mean na I can’t live my life to the fullest.
Years had passed and I’m still alive. Swerte na siguro akong hindi umaatake yung sakit ko. Since na-diagnosed ako sa sakit ko hindi na ako pumasok sa school. Can you believe that? I was 12 back then! And now I’m turning 17 this year, I want to feel that I’m normal. Yes I have leukemia but does that mean I’m not normal?
I saw a interesting page in my news feed one day. Too many people talked about this page and it got me so curious kaya I joined the page. This page is so interesting. Pakiramdam ko sobrang dami ko ng alam sa university nila. That gave me the idea that I should go to that university.
Months had passed and may bagong pauso na naman sa page nila yun yung omegle. Luma na raw yung site na yun pero binuhay ulit ng page na to. They even had their own tags para madaling daw magkakitaan.
One day I got bored. So I tried the ever-so-famous omegle. I met some people but some of them are too old for me and some of them were too young.
You’re now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You both like Ust400
After so many disconnected by stranger and too many h*rny dudes, I met a guy. He is an incoming freshie and his dying to met a freshie too. So I lied about my identity. Well, all I can say is that we had a very amazing conversation. We had the same fandoms, he had the same knowledge as I had about video games and we both collect and listen to vinyls. Everything seemed right. Suddenly, I felt sparks.
Our conversation lasted for about 3 hours until he asked for my fb account. We started conversing each other for 2 days and then he asked for my number. Well, I enjoying his company and I want to know him better so I gave him my number.
But there are two things that keep on bothering me. First is my true identity. Baka magalit siya kapag nalaman niyang hindi ako totoong freshie sa university na yun. Second is about my condition. I’m afraid na kapag nalaman niya I’m sick bigla siyang maglaho katulad nung mga napapanuod ko sa tv. I never had this kind of thing kaya I’m so afraid.
After a week, nagdecide kaming magkita. So I told my parents about this guy I met online. Kala ko magagalit sila but no. They even told me na I should enjoy my life kasi hindi namin alam kung kelan ulit aatake ang sakit ko.
Dad accompanied me to Starbucks Dapitan. When we arrived to SB, dad left. As I enter the store I saw a guy standing near the counter. So I called him up.
“Celo?”
“Xierra?” he asked and I just nod at him.
We both ordered at the counter and we find a place to sit. Luckily, we found a table near the entrance. We sat there and Celo keeps staring at me so I keep on smiling at him. I never knew that he looks so good in personal. He talked about his previous school and god his smart! He even plays guitar and that turns him on!
