Chapter 3

The alarm clock rang. It was 7 of the morning.  I woke of from my bed and went to fresh up. I started to brush my teeth and stopped for I while and start stirring at the mirror blankly. The mirror reflects you in front of it. It’s so strange that every time I stir in the mirror I have many different thoughts in my head. It’s like my imagination is in it topmost pick at the moment. I can do many things inside here. I can sing, dance and even act. But today I don’t feel like that, there is…a voice in my heart that told me, “What are you doing Samantha? Looking at the mirror would never give you any solution.” I was never looking for a cure nor am I still now. I just want a hand full of happiness which I want to pour in the water of melancholy. Once it mixes with it I will experience a little amount of both of them. I finished freshen up then went to the kitchen. I saw Tom was preparing for breakfast for us. He is the best sometimes. He sometimes understands me even if I say nothing, it’s like he have divine powers to understand one. We both are the same in some things but yet different. He saw me and greets me with his warm smile. I sat down watching him while cooking. “Last night, I was searching through the web about the type of cancer you have and I looked through every hospital website which recommends doctors. And guess what, I found a suitable one for us.” He said. “Yeah! I knew you would do something like that. But, you shouldn’t think too much about me every time. You should think about yourself first too. I will help you out next time. And it’s about me and I don’t want to push you just for me.” “It’s not about you only. It’s about us. Us being together what matters the most.” He said. “I am just worried about you, I am not like you. I can’t let you take the entire burden. I want to be a part of your happiness and sadness in all ways.” “You are always the part of it. You are always there when I am alone. So, that’s why I want to save you more so, we don’t feel alone. Alright?” “Tom? You are an idiot. But still, I love you the most.” I couldn’t stop my tears anymore. His words always have such deep meaning that it touches my heart. “I love you too. That’s why stay with me as we are now. Forever.” “Yes, forever. As we are now.” I hugged him. “Hey, the food will burn if you keep messing around.” “You kill the mood every time like this. I won’t hug you anymore.” “Hey, that doesn’t mean I don’t want to hug you anymore.” He replied. “Yeah! Yeah! Whatever.”

That evening we both were busy on our laptops. Tom was trying to get an appointment and I was busy with the work in my office. Suddenly an ad came up and there they were a club for the patients who are suffering or have been cured from health problems. The age groups are not necessary. That ad took my attention towards it I opened the site and looked through it. It was kind of interesting to look at something like this. Searched on the web about it more and I went deep about the things about this. I saw some of the videos of the people telling their stories. It was interesting to listen to their stories. Everyone suffers but some of them survive that’s what I learn. I made a decision finally. “Yes!!!” Tom screamed. “What is it?” “We got an appointment on Tuesday.” “Really? That’s great.” “You should ask for a leave for two days in your office.” He told me. “Yes I will but, before that this Sunday I want to go somewhere.” “Where?” “There is a club for many of the patients who are suffering from chronic disease. And that day they have a ceremony where they can share their stories and problems. It would be good if you agree on letting me go to that and I am going on a vacation trip with my friends after this week.” “What, and you didn’t tell me about it earlier?” “Because I was not able to tell you sooner before I decided about it.” “No, I won’t let you go alone there. What if something happens while I am not there?” “Hey, look at me. Everything would be fine. Trust me I would take care of myself and it’s just for a week. I want to go because I want to spend some time with my friends so, what do you think?” “Alright! You can go.” “yeah!” “But, you have to call me every night and tell me about it so; I can make sure you are alright.” “Okay, I will. And we are going to the ceremony this Sunday that’s final.” “Hey, I didn’t agree with that one.” “I am not listening. I am going to prepare the dinner now.” “Sam, you are always like this.” He said. “Yeah! Yeah!” God, this is the reason why I am living my days.
