Chapter 67: Flashbacks (Part 3)
With the insistent push of Ja, Mj, found herself reading through the emails of the men within and accross the globe, who are interested in her profile post that Ja sneakily posted on those dating websites.
Fastforward a bit, she was attracted somehow with Karl's picture in his email to her. So she have it zoomed and sent a reply.
Needless to say, they started chatting, got to know each other and fell in love with each other. Their love story was indeed from an online dating and their love for each other have continued to develop and grew as weeks, months and years pass by.
It was nearly about 2 years of their online relationship when Karl had a vehicular accident which turned him into a state of coma.
A month after Karl was still in coma, Kevin, which was a concern neighbor of Karl, sent a message to Mj, informing her of Karl's situation.
"I'm sorry to inform you that Karl met a vehicular accident and it's been a month that he is still in coma. I'm Kevin, his concern neighbor and since he is an orphan, he has no one to take care of him really. So when I opened his computer, I found your name in his messenger that's still left open and I have read some of your messages. I then decided to inform you of his state." Kevin with a sad emoticons 😥😢.
Bewildered and worried, Mj couldn't help but burst into tears upon reading Kevin's message. It took her more than 10 minutes to cry and tried to calm herself after, eventhough she's still shaking and shivering from knowing Karl's situation.
She then looked at Kevin's profile and then tapped the video call icon to call Kevin.
Kevin answered it right away.
Without a word, she examined the background of Kevin, and she have seen that he was indeed at Karl's house.
"Once again, let me introduce myself formally. I am Kevin, Karl's concern neighbor and friend. Before the incident, Karl confided with me and talks a lot about you, Mj." Kevin with a sad smile.
Flabbergasted, Mj sniffed trying to compose her thought to say, "Tt-Thank you for informing me and your concern Kevin."
"I am sending you now a scan for his medical reports so you can read it yourself. Tomorrow, I will visit him at the hospital and bring my phone so we can do a video call and you can see it for yourself Karl's state."
"Oh... o-okay. Thanks." Mj with a hoarse voice.
"It's sent, check it out."
"Y-yes. Checking on it."
Upon reading it, Mj could not help but burst into tears again. While Kevin was just watching and listening to her cries. Right there and then, he have seen and felt how much Mj have loved Karl so much. He then decided to help the couple, as it was initially planned for him to visit Karl and show to Mj his state.
The next night (morning for Kevin),
on a video call, Kevin was showing to Mj, Karl in the hospital, lying unconscious in his hospital bed, with all the life support tubes connected to him.
The next succeeding nights were Mj talking to Karl's doctor on a video call in Kevin's phone. And then Kevin giving Mj updates on Karl's condition.
"His wounds have been healing and his vital signs are stable, only he is still unconscious. As to when he will wake up, we are uncertain. However, we highly recommend for Karl to have someone close to him to be around him here everyday as it may help stimulate his consciousness to be finally awaken." Doctor's recommendations.
"Okay doc, thank you." Mj flabbergasted upon hearing the doctor.
Turning to Kevin, "Oh my God, what shall I do Kevin?"
Kevin, having seen the dillema of Mj, became silent and in a deep thought. After few minutes he began suggesting, "I don't know if you will agree to this, but I think it's the best."
"What?" Mj's eyes opened widely waiting for what Kevin has to say.
"I cannot continue to keep visiting Karl everyday for you, since I have a cancer myself, and I needed someone to take care of me too. How about you come here so that you can personally help take care of Karl and at the same time, help take care of me?" Kevin suggested.
"What? How? I don't have money to come there and what about my visa, how will I justify my stay there?" Mj in a flabbergasted tone.
"I will help you then. I'll send money for your tickets, for you to come here. And regarding your visa, in order for you to stay here longer in my country, you will have to marry me."
Shocked on what she had heard from Kevin, no words can be heard from Mj. Instead, tears in her eyes silently flowing...
After sometime, Kevin broke their silence. "I-it's okay if you don't want to. I won't force you then."
"No, I didn't mean that Kevin. It's just that, things are seemingly going fast pace and I need to really think about it all. Give me sometime to decide, I will let you know my decision as soon as tomorrow then."
"Okay then."
"Thanks."
"No probs."
Their video call then ended.
Needless to say, the next day, Mj decided to come to Belgium to help take care both of Karl and Kevin.
Months after she's there in Belgium, she married Kevin then even if she don't love him. For her, it's a sacrifice that she has to do for the sake of her love for Karl...
