DARK DAYS WITHOUT YOU

Everything is perfect. Being with your love ones is the most precious thing ever in this world. I can't believe everything will change in just a blink of an eye. Monday morning, doing the same routine everyday. I woke up early to go to school. Currently, I'm a Senior Highschool Student and months for now, I'm already graduating. My Dad cooks breakfast and he always prepare my lunch. He never want me to get late. Since I was a kid my Dad is the only one I have, Mom passed away when she gave birth to me. Dad became my mother figure also. He's the best and I love him so much. While waiting for the bus, Dad stood up and hug me tight. He said, "take care always". I smiled and hug him tight , it's unusual for my father to be showy with his feelings. I'm very motivated to do my school works. My report presentation is praised by my classmates and adviser. Everything goes well throughout that day, not until, I went home. I can't believe my life will change in an instant. Something strange is happening but I don't know what it is. My phone is lowbat so obviously I can't contact anyone. 5:00 PM I already arrived at home. There's no light, the windows and doors are closed , very unusual. At first, I thought it's just something to do with surprises again but I remember there's nothing to be celebrated today. I called my Dad again and again but no one is responding. I'm standing in front of our door for almost half an hour 'till my neighbor went through, "Oh! Gigi what are you doing here, I thought you're in the hospital with your Dad!" I can't explain what I felt when I heard about it. All I know is that I need to hurry and go to the hospital. I found myself running in the pouring rain just to be with my Dad. With teary eyes, I came up to the hospital. I saw my father lying on bed, asleep, and it's really obvious that he's not okay. No one was beside him. No one of my relatives was there to be with him. He is alone all along. Slowly... I sit beside his bed. I really want to cry but I can't, it's not the time to be weak, I need to be strong and brave enough. Minutes later, he opened his eyes and look at me intently. All I can show him is the fake smile in my face. I'm out of words, I just wanna hug him tight. Tears in my continue to flow , I can't stop it til he said, "I'll be alright soon". Doctor came up and told me that my Dad has a stage four lung cancer. Everything went dark , It feels like I'm floating, I can't speak, my vision gets blurry and blurry. Life kept on testing me. I keep on telling myself that this is not the end , everything will be back to normal sooner but, this is the sad reality...
