Chương 4: Chapter 4
Miles POV
I was about to enter my room when my mom stopped me.
"Son, We can talk now." She smilingly said to me.
"Ahh, yes, mom. Come, let's talk inside my room." I answered her.
I'm never nervous whenever we do this, maybe because we are always like this.
We sat on my bed, and I started telling her what had happened today. She was just listening to me carefully without uttering any words. When I was done, that is when she finally asked me something. She is always like this. She always listens to me first, like she wants to know everything on my part, then she will tell her side or her opinion.
"So, how did you reply?" She asked me
"Of course I declined, Mom! I'm not that desperate to agree with that stupid rules. And looked at me, do you think I'll be able to seduce that Casanova? NO!" I said to her
"Why not! Have you seen yourself? Like, look. You are very much handsome, my child. Any man will be lucky to have you in their life." She said to me.
"Mom! You don't need to flatter me, you know." I shyly said to her
"It's true you're very much gorgeous same as your brothers. Do you know how many women fantasize about being their girlfriend, but it seems that your brothers are so picky that they don't see anyone good enough to be their partners. But seriously, son. You're pretty, you're intelligent, and most especially, you are a good person. Always remember that. For that rules that you just said. I can't say what you should have to do about that. It's always up to you, but this is what I can advise you. Always remember, Don't make any decision when you are at the height of your emotions. Emotions clouds our judgments. Think about it first many times before deciding on anything. You have to be wise about anything. You know how much I trust you. I know you know what to do about everything. right?" She said to me
"Yes, mom. I will remember that. " I said to her.
"That's good to hear, son. Oh, It's already bedtime. you need to go to sleep already."
"Thanks, mom. I appreciate you listening to me."
"No problem, son, anytime. Anytime." She said to me, then left.
I was about to go to my bed when my phone suddenly rang.
RING RING RING
Auntie Mai Calling. (Cleo's Mother)
I answered it.
"Hello, Auntie."
"Miles. Please help me. I don't know what to do anymore. Please come here." She sounded like she was crying, which got me so worried instantly.
"Auntie? Why? What happened! Did something happen to Cleo?" I worriedly asked her.
"Yes! Miles. It's Cleo! She attempted to kill herself. We are currently here at the hospital. They are now trying to suction all the pills that she took. Would you please help me? I'm alone here. I didn't want to call her dad because he was in Singapore for business. Please help me, Miles. I don't know whom I should call now. You're the only friend of my Cleo that I know. Please come here! We're here at the Main hospital in the city."
"Oh, God! Yes, Auntie. I will be there. Please wait for me."
"Thank you, Miles! I will wait for you. huhuhu"
Then I hung up. I immediately go to my brother Andrew's room. I can't leave the house alone, especially at this hour. They will surely be angry at me. Even if I'm in a hurry now, I still can't ignore our house rules and my manners.
After a few minutes of driving,
I am currently here at the hospital. I can see that Auntie Mai has been crying so bad into the emergency room entrance. I immediately approached her.
"Auntie, what happened. How's Cleo!" I worriedly asked her.
"I don't know, Miles. All I know is I was busy making dinner for the both of us. I want to make her favorite dish because she went home looking so upset about something. It's the first time that I saw her act like that. I was shocked when I saw how swollen her eyes were. She cried so much. I tried asking her, but she just said it was nothing. She was so happy for the past few days. She's always excited to go to school every single day. I was so beyond shock when get home this evening looking like a corpse. She just went to her room without saying anything. When I got there to ask her to join me for dinner, that's when I saw her in her bathroom. She was... Under the water in her tab, and then I saw her holding the empty bottle of her sleeping pill. She overdoses and drowns herself. Why? What happened! How can my baby do this? I don't understand. How can she do this?" Auntie Mai was crying her lungs out. I feel so pity for her at the same time worried because I don't know the status yet of Cleo.
How can she do this? Why?
I can't help but cry too.
After 2 hours, the doctor went outside the emergency room. He looks so down. I'm so nervous right now.
Please be alive!
Please be alive!
Please, Cleo!
Please don't leave us!
These are the words that are running into my mind right now. I just want her to be alive. She's so young. She still has so many things that she can do with her life. We have so many things we still want to do and achieve in life. CLEO! Please do leave us.
We got up from our respected chairs and approached the doctor. I am currently holding Auntie because she almost lost her balance earlier when she tried to stand up
"Doctor, How's my daughter. Please tell me she is still alive! Please!" Auntie Mai was almost pleading with the doctor.
"Yes, Ma'am, We have successfully been able to revive your daughter..." The doctor said
We instantly felt so relieved, but it didn't last long because of the next thing that the doctor said to us.
Those words crumble our worlds, especially Auntie Mai.
"But I'm sorry to tell you that because of the severe damage that the drug 'caused to her body and the drowning that she did. There is a certain amount of time that her brain was in lack of enough supply of oxygen, which resulted in severe damage to her brain. I'm sorry to tell you this, but we are afraid your daughter is now in a state of coma. We can't tell when she'll be able to wake up, or she'll ever be able ever to wake up." the doctor told us.
"NO, NO, NO, NO!! That's not true! Not my baby! Not my Cleo! Please tell me that this was not happening. My baby is okay! She is just okay!" Auntie Mai is now crying so hard on the floor.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am, but we did everything that we could. All we can do now is pray for her and wait." The doctor said and left.
We are all crying right now.
No!
Please tell me that this is not true! This is not happening!
Why Cleo! Why did you do this? I can't understand. You're the strong one between the two of us. You are always the strong one! Why? How can you do this!
Please tell me this is just a dream! Please, someone, wake me up.
We are so devastated now! My brother is just hugging me. He is just letting me cry in his arms.
I'm currently here at Cleo's house. I volunteered to gather all the things that Auntie Mai would need because she is now staying at the hospital to accompany Cleo. It's been hours since she's been there, and she hasn't been able to wake up.
I still remember how she looks like lying there in her hospital bed, so helpless. There are so many apparatus connected to her body to help her breathe because now she can't breathe independently. There is also some machine that is beeping consecutively, monitoring her vital signs. It breaks my heart to see my best friend lying in there so helpless.
The more hurtful thing about it was. I really can't do anything for her. I feel so useless as her friend.
I am now finished gathering all Auntie Mai's things when I passed by Cleo's room. We have so many beautiful and happy memories in this room. These rooms witness so many things that Cleo and I did together. Our first fight. Our first sorry to each other. Our first thank you. So many memories that make me want to cry right now.
I can't believe this is happening. As I was roaming into her room, I saw a folded paper lying on her bed. I saw that it was addressed to me, so I decided to read it.
Hi Miles,
If you are reading this letter, I think I already did the thing that most of you will be angry with me for doing, but I can't take this pain anymore, friend. I can't bear to continue to wake up tomorrow and see that all of this is true. I love him! Miles! He is the only person that I finally love like this. You know how much I value my heart, right? my virginity. I thought he was the one. I thought he loved me too. But I guess I was just like those other girls that he used. Yes! We didn't do it, but the way he touched and kissed me, for me, it's the same. It's like he took everything from me, Miles. I feel so used and like garbage that he just used and threw away. He is my first love, Miles. You know how I dreamed of having a relationship just like my mom and dad. I thought he was the one. He played me. He used me. I can't continue feeling this way. You know how much I value my virtue and my family's reputation if someone comes to know about it I'm sure they will talk to me and indeed my parents will be upset with me. I can't stain all those because of my stupidity! I'm sorry for doing this. I'm so sorry, but I really can't continue anymore. Thank you for everything, Miles. Thank you for being my best friend for 18 years. You're my twin. I love you like my real brother. We are born at the same time, and I thought we would die at the same time, but I guess I was wrong. I'm so sorry for leaving you like this. Promise me you'll forgive me for doing this. You know how much I value your love and trust.
For me, Please take care of my parents. You know how much they love you. I know you'll be able to love them as much as I do. Again, I'm so sorry for doing this. I love you, Miles. I will always love you, my twin.
Your best friend,
Cleo.
I was crying so hard when I read Cleo's letter!
THIS IS YOUR FAULT, YOU F*CKING BASTARD!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!
If only you didn't enter Cleo's life, she wouldn't have done this! She wouldn't have tried to kill herself!
This is your fault!!
And because of this!!
I WILL TAKE REVENGE ON YOU!!
I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU WILL SUFFER TOO.
JUST AS MUCH AS CLEO IS SUFFERING RIGHT NOW!!
What I did next was I got the calling card that I hid earlier in my bag. I called the number that was in it.
RING RING RING
"Hello? Who is this? Why are you calling at this hour? It's 3 AM. FOR GOD SAKE!" Someone answers on the other line
"Let do it, Marko!" I said to him firmly
"Let do what?" He sounded confused
"LET'S DO THAT F*CKING RULE OF REVENGE OF YOURS!"
