Pain.
Fear.
Is near. I can just feel it.

I woke up around 11am, I'm here at my condominium. Laying on my bed. I went out. And saw everyone.
Except. Nathan.
" Happy birthday, to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Toria, happy birthday to you! "
They sang and my parents are holding my cake.
" Happy 19th day! Sweetie!" They hugged me and kissed me.
I saw Samuel cooking foods with Rina. Rina?!?!
"Rina?!?!!" I was shocked. So. Shocked.
"Happy birthday baby loves!" I almost cried when she hugged me. I missed her!
Everyone's sitting on my sofa, mommy, daddy, Nika, Trisha.
I sat on the middle and daddy turned the TV on.
I saw different people in the video greeting me. Kahit mga prof ko na plastic, blockmates, and cousins.
"Happy birthday hija!"
"Hoy inday! Happy birthday!"
"Lika New York! Happy birthday! "
I was smiling with my tears seeing everyone greet me. Last part. It was unexpected.
Nathan.
"Hi, love. Happy birthday"
He looks cute.
"I love you, and see you soon okay?"
He looked mature. He is though.
After the celebration, lahat sila nasa salas nag lalaro sa PS4. I went inside my room to get something and my parents too.
"Hun, how are you feeling?" My dad started
"Hey dad, I'm good. I fainted and slept for that long? "
My parents looked at me and sighed heavily.
" Baby, whatever happens, please let's just do as doc Mendez says okay? Your heart. Is getting weak. Hindi umaatake pero humihina na daw. Anytime, kaya mo mawalan ng malay." My mom said and looked worried.
I was stunned and tears about to flow when my dad started talking.
"Toria, you need. An operation. For your health." My dad said and hugged me.
Nanganga ako dito mag isa. Tulala, naluluha. Hindi pa 'ko ready.
"Daddy."
My dad just hugged me and my mom is crying.
"Hun, what gift do you want?" My mom tried to smile to hide the pain.
Ganon naman diba. Smile, to hide the pain. Niloloko mo lang sarli mo ata pag ganoon.
"California. Ticket to California ma."
They nodded and smiled at me.
I'll surprise my boyfriend within days.
I went out to have some fun with them.
-------
I'm here at the hospital with doc Mendez.
"California, sounds good hija. Be back by 3 days. Okay? May check up ka. We need to. "
" For operation? " I said while my head tilted.
