CHAPTER TWO
1005 Words
Adrian is my boyfriend, I met him two months ago when the orphanage took us out, it was Easter day so we went to a fun city, there I met him with his parent.
What I had for Adrian is what we call love at first sight, at my age sister Betty said I don't know what love is but am fifteen and am sure, okay not really sure but love to me means a strong feeling of affection that a person give to you and that suit me and Adrian so perfect
I told sister Betty but she said I don't know what am getting myself into but I guess she is not someone that love guys or she doesn't have any guy to love because I just don't get her so I decide to stop talking to her about him so instead I go to Cindy, I and Adrian date secretly but am sure he loves me, and Adrian doesn't like PDA(public display affection)
Sometimes Cindy help me or a should say most times no everytime she help me in seeing Adrian
"Mart I want you to be careful when you get to him and don't let him know how much you love me"
"why should I do that"
"Because you shows it too much that sometimes I felt you are the only one that loves him, am not sure he loves you back "Cindy say this everytime and I just laugh at it like she's even younger than me she doesn't know how it feels.
"only if he know how much he loves me" I said and left the room.
I don't really want to think about Adrian for now, I need to see sister Betty first so she can tell me if what Cindy said is true so I went to her room.
I knocked at her door "sister Betty, it's Martina can I enter"
"of course my baby girl "
I open the door and enter I sat down even though o wasn't asked to buy she is like my mom.
"Do you know I have a good news for you"she said and I know deep down in me what the good news is.
"And I also have a bad news too" I don't know this and I always hate the bad news
"so are you ready to hear them baby girl" said looking straight into my eyes.
I can't say this is hard on me since I know already there is no way am hearing the bad news first even though I already know what the good news is, I will still choose to listen to the good news so probably I will gain the strength and more time to hear the bad news.
"Good news first sister Betty" I said giving her my cute baby face.
"Okay the good news is your operation is next month and the money is ready"
"oh my God" I jumped up and move closer to her and gave her a big hug, am so happy I will be getting freedom from my illness in a week time because next month is in six days to now.
"And Martina the bad news is........"
"Wait wait wait let me calm down first"
After about two minutes I turned to her "you can go on now "
"Actually the operation will be life and death with the ratio of 30:70 respectively, but the doctor said you can only survive it if you are a strong girl which I know you are and if you have a strong will to live in other words if you have a strong reason to live,it will kind of trigger your soul to stay alive throughout the operation"
"WHAT?" my voice came out so faint.
"But you don't have to worry, you can just leave it and keep living with medications"
This is shy I never like bad news they aren't ever a good thing to listen to, I just got so weak but there is no way am agreeing to live with medications that's the same as dying ,and sure am growing gradually that's also the way it will grow gradually and eventually one day it will end up killing me and I have a reason to live, I want to get married to Adrian and have kids with him and grow grey hairs together, I want to be with him forever and if I should die young that will be all my dream fading away and I don't want that so yes I have a big reason to live.
"sister Betty" I called her name still with a faint voice.
"Yes baby girl"
"I think am going to go for it"
"No mart, you can't do that, you can't risk your life"
"Yeah I can do it, and am not risking my life instead saving it"
"No you know I don't want to loose you"
"same here too, I don't want to myself "
"So please am pleading with you not to go for something you aren't even sure of coming out alive "
"I will eventually die if I don't do it now" my voice came out louder this time
"So,your decision now is to go for it"
"yes, I will do it and am sure I will survive it"
I will make sure I won't think about it, and I will tell Adrian about it because thinking about it alone give me chills, but seriously maybe I should hold back and not inform him about it.
He might get scared of me dying and try to convince me not to go for it and also it might ruin my night with him tonight
"sister Betty, I will go for it and that's my final conclusion, I guess I should get going now"
"yeah, you should and I don't want you to give yourself hard time just be yourself and be careful"
"I love you baby"
"I love you too"I said and left her room.
