After giving my hand one last squeeze, he let go and clasped both his hands together before once more looking up to meet their gazes

“I'm sick” he finally let out to his parents. The atmosphere was so calm one could hear a pin drop. I held my breath awaiting his parent's reaction but didn't get any. I dared look up to catch their expressions. His mother no longer had that cheerful look on her face, instead a worried one found its way in on her beautiful face while his father seemed indifferent for some reason. I took Daniel's hand now resting on his lap and entwined both our hands and he subconsciously squeezed it, his face to the ground now

“Have you met your doctor?” his dad all of a sudden asked as Daniel's face shut up, and the squeeze to my hands got tighter causing me to flinch from the pain but dared not pull away as he needed it

“Yes” he replied

“What did he say is wrong, is he serious can he treat it?” his mother asked, her shaky voice betraying her at being strong unlike the facade she was giving. He looked at his mom and I could see the pain in his eyes as he immediately looked away from her to me.

“Its more complicated than that” he said still looking at me. I kept quiet, knowing where this was headed and how hard it was becoming for him

“I had a transplant” he said, and in that moment, everything was as if it was going in slow motion. I was stunned beyond words as I gazed into his eyes

“What?” I muttered.......

WELDONE

If the room was silent before, it got to whole new height of silence. There was a sudden buzzing sound in my head, as my thoughts spiralled. “I had a transplant” his words kept repeating in my head zeroing out every other thoughts.

The sniffling sounds of his mom's silent sobs drew me out of my thoughts. I turned to her and tears were trailing down her cheeks, her hands covering her mouth muffling her sobs. I glanced at his dad, long enough to see the different emotions playing on his face but that of anger standing out, before turning back to Daniel. Our hands no longer entwined, I must have dropped his out of shock

“It's all our fault” his mother spoke amidst tears

“Mom it's no one's fault but my luck”

“Why didn't you tell us” his father asked, his fists clenching and unclenching in a fit to suppress his anger

“I didn't want you guys to worry”

“Its our job to worry” his father's words bellowed, causing me to squirm in my seat. It is the first time I am seeing him this angry, but Daniel remained unshakened, like he was prepared for this. “You are our only son and you are way to young to be going through this on your own. You told us it wasn't serious, you told us you were fine” his father further emphasized trying so hard to hold it together

My head shot up immediately I heard his dad's words. His parents knew he was sick?

“It wasn't. I guess it was just my luck, cause it turns out I have a rotten one” he snickered.
I saw a jaw in his father's face tick and his mom's sobs got louder

“Mom please stop crying” he begged, but she paid him no heed and continued her sobbing. His dad got up from his seat on the couch and moved closer to his wife, putting his hand around her. She leaned on his shoulder and sobbed bitterly

I could see the pain in both father and son's eyes, but his father's was mixed with anger as he seemed helpless. I could tell he loves his little family so much and his son hiding something of sort not only rendered him useless but also caused a bruise. He went ahead to console his wife, as Daniel glanced briefly at them before meeting my gaze. He looked drained. He looked tired and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him even when I was angry he left out such detail

His parents left soon after. Though his mother was still shaken up pretty bad, she was still enough to walk back to the car as the drove out the gate

“You've lost hope” I spoke as soon as we got back inside the house. “That's why you didn't bother telling me, or even your parents. You've given up” I let out the secret he has been trying to hide all this while. It all made sense now.....

I'll try to drop another update before I sleep. And I'm sorry I'm putting you guys on edge. But I gotta admit, it's fun knowing you guys are dying to know

He remained still, too still infact, like I struck a cord. After standing a while,he moved from his standing spot by the door, moved past me and headed for the couch

“I'm right, I'm I not? I asked and he stopped immediately and turned to look at me

“You know what?, you're actually right” he didn't even bother denying it “I'm tired Regina”


“Oh my God” I muttered, my hands flung to my mouth to cover my now quivering lips

“Regina”..... he moved to touch me, but I took a step back prompting him to stop. He ran his hands through his hair frustratedly as he paced the living room

“All these while, I kept thinking we stood a chance, that we can fight this. But what? You're just going to....

“Don't you dare say it Regina” he snapped. “To give up? Not giving hope a chance? Is that what you think? He chuckled and my stomach churned from the sound of it.
“I've tried Regina, I have. But it's not easy anymore” he sighed dragging his hands through his face
“I'm tired Regina” he murmured, so low I barely heard him, and I could tell from his face he meant every word

I moved closer to where he was, placing both hands on his face. “There's always hope Daniel, you shouldn't give up just yet” I caressed his cheek. He chuckled, dropping my hands from his face much to my dismay

“You don't get it. I'm dying Regina, and you know the funny part? I don't care anymore. I've accepted it”

“No” I shook my head “You're not going to die, you'll live”

“No Regina, I'm dying already” he placed my hand on his chest where his heart lay, and I could feel the rapid beating of his heart due to the stress it it was passing through now. “Feel it Regina, it's not.... it's not.... he stopped to take a deep breath and I removed my shaky hand from his chest

“You know what's worse than being told you have Cardiomegaly(enlarged heart)? Finally having a transplant due to its severity, only to think that at least you got another chance at life. But alas, years later, your body starts rejecting the heart. After years of taking anti-rejection medicines, it still did start rejecting it. The tears trailed down as I heard new details about his illness

“I never smoked, never was a smoker. I drank, but only at a minimum. You can't imagine how sometimes I find it so hard to breath, or how after series of fighting it, I passed out in my office, rolled to the emergency unit to be told by my doctor I needed a transplant or I'd die” he smiled sadly, rubbing his palm on his face before going on
“I almost gave up, but still held on to that tiny shred of hope that I'd get a donor. And in the last minute, miraculously one showed up. A badly injured man, rolled to the emergency unit died, and his heart was giving to me, and it fit. I was glad, I survived. Although I was a bit sad someone had to die for me to live, but I paid for it by making sure I make good use of his heart. And then one day I met you. It's like everything was falling into place. I fell head over heels in love with you, so I put a ring on it. We were happy, but then the dizziness came back. Doctor said my body's rejecting the heart” he stopped to look at me and I was now bawling

“You see why I said I had a rotten luck?” I just wanted to be normal, meet and marry the girl I love, have kids, grow old with them around. Then die when it's time, but I guess that wasn't cut out for me.

“Death is inevitable Regina” he came to were I was standing crying uncontrollably and held both my shoulders “Everyone dies. While some have the privilege of dying after having lived a full life, some don't get that chance. But you know one good thing I got from life? I got to meet you Regina”
