Our Destiny: Playful Fate

Chapter 8: PLEASE FIGHT

MARK'S POV:

”Hey! You're zoning out again! Let's go! It's turning night already!” my cousin Augustus patted me. Marcus is now with him.

We are here now at my condo. I invited them to come here so that I could have someone to sympathize with even for a while.

I also intend to visit him later. Which I do every day.

”Ah yes! I'm sorry! Let's go.” I stood up from sitting. I didn't notice that Augustus was talking to me.

Since that accident happened, a lot has changed in me. I've always been an i***t, always blaming myself and can't eat properly.

“Did he really have that much of an effect on you, Mark? You two have only known each other for a week?” I heard Marcus say.

I faced them first before I answered it.

“Yes. This is exactly how it affects me if something bad happens to him. And I know you know that feeling too. I can't lose him. Never not. I just fell in love like this and even in the short time we knew each other, I fell in love with him. He's like a light bulb and I'm the moth that keeps going at him. So I hope you understand me.” I said to them. I know they were surprised because they still haven't heard me say such things since they met me. Nothing. That's how he affects me. I'm getting cheesy because of him.

I saw the two people in front of me smiled and spoke.

“Oh he is. Come on and I'm sure you've been wanting to see him for a while now. You're really different, bro!” and the two laughed.

It's really hard when you have a crazy people in the house.

Are you wondering why they know? I probably told the story.

Since Augustus found out that one of their workers had an accident, he hurried to call me because I'm also one of his closest friends. (Although I'm not sure. hahaha.) So yes. They saw me crying in the hospital.

FLASHBACK:

Sh*t!

I never thought this would be the outcome of all the bad dreams, signs, and feelings I was feeling.

I hope it's just me. I wish I was the only one in his situation now. I hope I'm the only one suffering. Not him.her. I can't stop crying anymore.

As long as I remember what happened earlier, I can't really stop my tears.

I can not accept. That I didn't even do anything to save him. This is my fault!

How useless I am! Please Jay! Don't die, I beg you! You can't just go this far. Please fight! Even for yourself. I know you have so many dreams to fulfill. And I promise that when you get better, I will be one of those who will help you achieve your plans. So please, fight!

***********

I'm here now outside the operating room. Jay is currently undergoing internal surgery because doctors say he suffered a fracture in his head and lost a lot of blood. There are also broken bones in its body.

I also contacted his friends because I know his parents are gone. Honestly, I feel sorry for him because no one can take care of him in times like this. But his friends are also there, I know they love it very much and I am one of them.

Even though it was against my heart, I still called that bastard! That Diyo!!

Fortunately, he didn't blame me, but he was angry with me and later he might follow Jay. He doesn't know anything about what happened so he just tries to blame me, I'll let him do it.

Insan also knew that Jay had an accident because he was his employee. They said they were going here any minute now.

Just a few minutes later, Augustus and Marcus arrived at the hospital. They immediately came to where I was sitting and greeted me.

“Hey! Are you alright?” Augustus asked me.

“I'm so useless bro! I didn't even do anything to save him. It's my fault!” I couldn't stop my own eyes from crying.

"Shhh...Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. What happened was an accident. People are people. Challenges are bounded into their life. We can't hide from it nor prevent it. All we had to do is to accept it. Maybe this is just a challenge for him and for us too! So don't assume everything because it's really not your fault." Augustus calming me down.

“I can ask? Why are you so affected by his accident? Is there something going on between the two of you?” Marcus asked.

Hayyss...looks like they really need to know. I have nothing to hide anymore.

I took a deep breath and told them the truth.

“Actually, I have feelings for him. Ever since the day we've met. He always runs through my mind. At first, I always teased him or annoy him because I thought I was just enjoying treating him like that. But then I was wrong. I ended up kissing him one day. And then everything became clear. I fell for him. I loved him. But this is what happened. I haven't even touched his hand. I haven't even been able to put him to sleep. I haven't even flirted with him yet. I haven't even said I love him yet. I wish this is just a dream. But no, I dreamed of a joyful world living with him but it ended up as a frightening nightmare. I know my feelings for him aren't right. I know that this is not acceptable in this world. But I just can't help it. I just can't help falling in love with him. I hope you don't get mad at me. Specially you Augustus.”

“Why would I? You know, I understand how you feel right now. Your life, your love, your everything is fighting for his life right now. And if that happens to Marcus? I don't know if I'm not crazy yet. But honestly, I admire you. You are so brave to say what you feel. But let me tell you this. Yes, it is wrong in human eyes. Yes, it is wrong in this world. But, they are not the ones who love. They are not what people can judge. So don't let yourself be affected by them. So don't be hunted there. Cheer up! Do you think he would want to see you like that? Let's just pray for the sake of his life.” Augustus said.

Marcus smiled at him.

“Thank you so much and you're both here!” I said to the two.

“Of course!” said Marcus.

We just waited for the results of the operation and prayed that it would be successful.

END OF FLASHBACK.

I am now sitting next to the bed of my beloved. Looking at every detail of her beautiful face.

The operation is over with him. The doctor said that they found a way to avoid the disaster that happened to Jay. Of course, I can't describe how I felt that day. Surprise, joy, excitement. Just like that.

But, all that disappeared when I heard the doctor's further explanation.

They said, he is in a coma and they don't know when he will wake up.

So now, here I am. Watch over him and pray for his recovery.
