Chương 7: GRANDMA MARY IS SICK
Amaranta Cid, still not believing what was happening, had gone back eleven years, from 28 to 17.
At that age, her grandmother was still very much alive and strong enough to live.
His life at this age… It had been so full of limitless possibilities, that when he recounted what he lost, he felt an unreasonable urge to beat himself up for how stupid he was for not taking advantage of all those opportunities in his time and time. .
While he was able to get on a bicycle, something he had not done in a long time, Amaranta Cid began to stagger while he rode, not riding straight. It was only after reflecting on everything that had happened that Amaranta realized that when he acquired knowledge, it was deeply engraved in one's bones and was never forgotten. In fact, this knowledge could become a life-saving ability at a certain point in the future.
The familiar landscape passed before his eyes, scene by scene. This was the small town where he had lived for seventeen years.
This was the small rural town where he had lived with his grandmother Mary and where he had lived for most of his short life.
In the distance, Amaranta Cid could make out his grandmother's small house, a house so picturesque and typical of the area, colorful and with flower pots outside, a large tree providing shade was planted in one corner of the house.
Suddenly, his heart felt like it had stopped beating.
Her grandmother loved her more than anyone in the whole world.
Unfortunately, before he had the chance to show and return his grandmother's love and concern in his past life, his grandmother… Passed away.
It moved Amaranta, however, to just think that she was returning home and that she would see her grandmother Mary, who loved her, and whom she herself loved too much. Her heart was overflowing with joy just by imagining that she would enter the yard and see her. Alive and receiving her with happiness in her old face and with eyes full of love. But when she arrived she got off the bicycle, approached the door and stopped when she heard the voice of her aunt Carmen Cid, Mariana's mother. —
"Aunt Mary, Amaranta has been bullying Mariana at school and making her cry… She even cheated during the mock exam. Aunt Mary, since there is only one last name Cid, Amaranta's behavior has embarrassed all of us who carry the name Cid." surname Cid.
"Back then, when our little sister became pregnant and was abandoned by her father, we advised her to have an abortion.
Then, when she recovered, we could get a man to marry her. But you insisted on granting our little cousin's request. Our little cousin sister disappeared into thin air without a single word from her all these years. We don't even know if she is alive or dead…"
"As for Amaranta, she used to be a sweet and obedient girl when she was younger. However, ever since she entered high school, she has been hanging out with the bad boys in town and is always up to no good. Her academic results are a train wreck, and is bullying his own younger cousin at school.
"Aunt Mary, in my opinion Amaranta will never achieve much in her life. It would not be for you to trust her to take care of you in your old age until you pass away. Since you are my aunt, my husband and I will take care of you until you pass away. Now, about this house…"
Parking her bicycle in the yard along the old street, Amaranta Cid could hear the voice of Mariana Cid's mother.
Standing silently in the courtyard, she listened for a long time to the conversation.
Finally, she came to the main topic of the conversation. So Mariana Cid had gone home and complained about the incident at school, resulting in her mother running to her house and giving her grandmother the gossip about her?
And what was it about her, Amaranta Cid, not being able to take care of her grandmother until she died?
What a load of cow dung! She was shamelessly trying to get her hands on this house, what a shameless, hard-faced woman!
"Aunt Carmen…"
Amaranta Cid entered the house and walked directly next to her grandmother, adopting a protective stance.
"Aunt Carmen, don't assume that grandma can be easily manipulated just because she's old. Haven't you been going around the bush, spouting all kinds of nonsense because you're trying to get your hands on my grandma's house? Well, you can stop dreaming. We would rather tear this place down than give you even a piece of tile or brick of it."
Without feeling an ounce of guilt for having been attacked by Amaranta Cid, Mariana Cid's mother turned the tables and reprimanded Amaranta Cid in her place.
"Amaranta Cid, you are just an illegitimate daughter who is not even her father. This is a matter that concerns the Cid family. Since when have you been given the right to interfere?"
Rudely, Amaranta Cid replied: "Yes, I do not have a father, but I do have a mother, whose last name is Cid. Therefore, I am a member of the Cid family. My grandmother's affairs are none of your concern, so don't worry!" "You should waste your time!"
Little boy without a mother, without any education! Aunt Carmen stirred and stood up straight. "Even." "Even resorting to cheating during the exam!"
"Get out of here!"
Not wanting to see Aunt Carmen's smug and evil face a moment longer, Amaranta quickly reached behind the door for the broom. Moving towards Aunt Carmen, he began to continuously hit her with the broom all over her body.
"Get out of here. You are not welcome in our house. I forbid you to ever appear here again. Otherwise, I will beat you every time you come, you are not allowed to even speak a word to my grandmother, much less pass by outside!" of this house or being here!
Ranting and raving, Aunt Carmen Cid ran away. As she watched the receding figure of Aunt Carmen Cid, Amaranta cruelly marked this incident in her mind as another bone to pick with Mariana Cid.
Turning around, Amaranta Cid noticed that her grandmother seemed pale and helped her onto a nearby chair.
Grasping her grandmother's calloused, dry, and wrinkled hands, he crouched in front of her and said in a low voice, "Grandma, don't listen to Aunt Carmen, she only came to tell lies.
I didn't cheat. In fact, I did very well on the test. My test results were even better than those of his daughter, Mariana Cid. "Grandma, I will definitely make it to college, I won't put you through snubs in this town."
His grandmother's eyes lit up with joyful surprise. "Really?"
"Yes, really Grandma. I know I've been a handful of trouble in the past, and I've caused you concern.
But grandma, you can rest assured that from now on I will work very hard to get a good score in the college entrance exams and make you proud, I will not let you down."
Clinging to Amaranta Cid to stand up, her grandmother responded: "Good. So Amaranta, you should buckle down and study. I'll cook you something to eat."
"Grandma, you should rest. Let me do it, I'll cook for both of us."
Amaranta Cid did not have the heart to see her grandmother get more tired of her.
Her grandmother was aging, and she had increasing health problems, and Amaranta Cid wanted to take good care of her.
"That's not necessary. I'll do it. You're going to study now. Be a good girl."
Amaranta Cid, who was pushed into another room by her grandmother, relented, sat at the desk and opened her backpack.
Very gently, the grandmother closed the door, happier than anyone on earth that her granddaughter had come to her senses and was going to work hard in the future, she only hoped that she would finally stop being mischievous and actually manage to enter university. Like his mother once did.
Then, there was a loud "thud" as Grandma fell backwards away from the door. Upon hearing the noise, Amaranta Cid was so surprised that she felt her heart stop beating.
Panicking, she rushed to open the door and immediately saw her grandmother unconscious on the floor. Frightened by her wit, she knelt next to her grandmother.
"Grandma… Grandma, don't scare me, please!"
In panic, Amaranta Cid didn't even think about her thin body or her physical weakness. She gathered all her strength and lifted her grandmother onto her back and ran out of the small house, running as fast as her thin legs would carry her towards the hill of the village.
As Amaranta Cid ran through the small town in the late afternoon, the setting sun cast its twilight rays on her, casting a long shadow on the ground.
She clung tightly to her grandmother's thighs, and tears continually flowed down Amaranta Cid's face, blurring her vision, as she thought to herself: "Grandma, you will do it, you must be okay. Please give me a chance to show my filial love and be a good granddaughter for you, Grandma…"
Amaranta Cid cried as she ran. She had been reborn because she wanted to change her destiny, she wanted to change the things she did wrong in her past life.
Little did Amaranta Cid know that from the moment she was reborn, the wheels of destiny already began to turn, things always tend to change once she has returned to the beginning!
Her life as she was now would be turned upside down with all the changes coming her way.
In the town of Deifon, there was only one small clinic, and Amaranta Cid, sweating profusely, entered the clinic's emergency room with her grandmother on her back.
"Doctor, please. Please save my grandmother…"
After the doctor completed his evaluation, he turned to Amaranta Cid, who was drenched in perspiration, and said, "She only fainted. However, with her age, there could be other implications. Serum
naughty first..."
Nodding, Amaranta Cid gave the doctor a deep bow and responded, "Thank you, doctor."
In her panic, Amaranta Cid had spent every ounce of her energy and willpower to get her grandmother to the hospital and keep her safe.
Now that he knew that his grandmother was not in danger, Amaranta Cid began to relax. All his energy had left her, and he collapsed and fell to the floor in the doctor's emergency room.
The doctor picked her up and sat her in a chair next to her. He applied pressure to her philtrum (it is the middle part of her upper lip or indentation under the nose on her upper lip), and then gave her a glass of sugar brine to drink.
"Young lady, you can't collapse. Your grandmother needs you to take care of her. Here, drink this!, calmly"
Amaranta Cid thanked him and accepted the doctor's paper cup, which contained sugar water.
The doctor completed his examination of Amaranta Cid's grandmother. He then sent Amaranta Cid and his grandmother to the next room used to administer intravenous drips.
"Young lady, stay here with your grandmother. As for you, you must be careful not to get cold. You ran quite a distance and are drenched in sweat."
Amaranta Cid was very aware that his grandmother's health was not good. After her rebirth, the first thing he had planned to do was take her grandmother to the country's Capital for a comprehensive health checkup.
Amaranta Cid remembered how at this stage of his previous life he had wasted his time and energy without thinking about his grandmother, without even realizing that his grandmother's health had been failing so badly. Definitely, she had been a very bad granddaughter... What a waste of life she had in the past.
"Grandma, you must get well soon. I will earn money, a lot of money, so you can enjoy the good things in life."
Amaranta Cid heard the thunderous noise of car horns in front of the clinic in the town of Deifon.
Before he had a chance to register what was happening, he heard the sound of messy, but powerful footsteps coming from the hallway.
