Episode 3: Diagnosed

I followed the doctor in his clinic. He instructed me what to do and I just followed his order. After undergoing a different checkup I waited for the result. After some time Dr Montero came back, and he is holding my result. He exhaled a heavy breath and looked at me. He sat down on his chair And he kept giving me an odd look that made me feel nervous.

Hmm. I.. Well, Don't be shocked On whatever I will tell you, this is your result. He said.

He handed me the paper where my result is written.

You have leukemia Dr. Montero said.

What? I felt like My ears were not working any more. The room became silent, and my mind was getting blank upon hearing my result I froze, and my tears started falling.

Leukemia? No! No! I muttered.

I'm sorry But you are in stage three, and I'm afraid that it's getting worse. Dr. Montero said.

I felt like my body is getting weak. I felt like the world betrayed me. My dream, My family And everything flash in my mind, and it's suddenly shattered. My hands are trembling, My tears keep falling I hope this is just a dream. So please Wake me up I am in a nightmare, Please!

Klein are you okay? Dr. Montero asked.

I just stood up and walked out.

Mr. Klein I need you to stay I need to tell you everything and how we can prolong your life. He said and I just stared at him.

Please, Don't give up we will find ways to cure you. So just stay and listen to me. He said.

I stayed In the room And he kept talking, but I couldn't Hear him anymore He finished all the things he needed to tell me and I just walked out while my tears were falling.

Klein..Friend..sorry I just went to the bathroom and.. He noticed that I'm crying.

Hey What happened? He asked.

What do I do? What do I do now? I asked heartbrokenly

What do you mean? He asked.

What do I do? I asked again.

I can't stop crying and repeatedly ask him what I am going to do because I really don't know what to do now. My mind is blank I felt empty And I can't Think anymore All I can think of Is to cry.

Klein, Why are you crying? He asked worriedly.

He doesn't know what to do. So, he just suddenly hugged me to comfort me. He pats my back and slides his hands and I know that he is confused, but he is sympathizing with me without knowing why.

Hush. Stop crying. Please calm down. He said while sobbing.

We stay hugging each other for a long time. The time just goes by without us noticing. When I calm down after crying my heart out. We got out of the hospital and sat on the bench.

Now, tell me what the doctor told you that made you cry? He asked. I started crying again, and my tears started falling again.

Friend. Stop this and tell me why? He asked worriedly.

I have leukemia, A bone cancer. Stage 3. I said and cried again.

He froze hearing the news. What? No. He said.

I really have it. I said while looking at him.

No I don't believe it, Let's go maybe they just got a wrong diagnosis. Let's go back and we will do the test again. He said and grabbed my hand.

Let's go back to the hospital, actually no! Let's find another hospital. He said He pulled me, and we walked, but I stopped.

Why? He asked and looked back at me.

Marlon, I'm sick, and I don't want to do the test again and hear the same thing. I told him.

No,, you are not sick. Let's go, Let's go to the other Hospital, Let's have another check up. This Hospital might be the best in town. But I don't believe that you are sick, Let's go. He said and pulled me.

We went to another hospital, and they said the same thing after that we went to the other hospital again, but the result is still the same.

Marlon, Enough stop wasting your time and your money on me because the result will remain the same, I'm sick, and I need to accept it. I said heartbreakingly and while crying.

No this can't be happening, You're a good person, A good friend. So this can't be happening. He said while crying.

Thank you But Let's stop, I'm sick, and I need to accept it. I said and held his hand.

No, Klein Let's go to another Hospital. He said.

Please Let's stop. I said.

No I'll call Sheena And ask her about the hospital where his brother is working. He said and called Sheena.
