This story, surely as you think is a bit similar to one of that Mandy Moore film, except for the fact that I wasn't a bad dude who was enlightened for some twist of events. And this is not some anthology on some ego-mongering maniac trying to gain sympathy, I'm not that. This happened 5 years ago.
It was a windy evening at the deck on one of Cebu's cruise ships going to Cagayan De Oro from Cebu. I met this beautiful girl. With nice curls, tall and a bit of Maxene Magalona look alike. We talked, she explained about visiting an Aunt in CdO, and we both got very close, during the trip, we ate dinner together, then went out for a beer.
Upon arriving, we got to talk more, hearing about how she grew up without knowing her father. She was half-Japanese, her dad left when her mom was still pregnant.
Days passed, And then that stupid little arrow struck. WE were both inlove, it was in a theathre ( watching Underworld Evolution which wasn't a love movie stuff, but watching it made me remember her). We both kissed and confessed our affection. She always mentioned in our conversation how different I was from the other guys she's been with, then she would hug me, put her head on my chest. For weeks, It was like the perfect romance, I was like " hey, We'll save up some cash and visit your dad in Japan" Or We could spend honeymoon on some Greek Island.
She just kept silent and smiled. She wasn't the optimistic type.
Later that January month, while in a Mall, she broke down into tears, I asked why, she explained she got ill. A bad headache plus nausea prompted her to go home, I asked if I can go with her, she said no since her Aunt was strict.
Hours passed, I called her 7 times, no answer, then she replied with a text, saying she's fine. WE met again a few days later, dated like the usual, Then that recurring nausea struck, saying it was like vertigo. She had to leave again- early. I called her again, she responded that she has a weak heart. But that wasn't the case, I have been around to people with heart problems, Myocardial infarcts, arrythmia, CHF, RHD, count it, but the symptoms she's experiencing wasn't contributing to a heart condition - although she was really pale and a bit bluish.
It was like 5 days I got no word from her, as desperate as I could be, I searched every hospital East of the city, and ended up in vain. Until on February 11, 2007, her Aunt called me. ASked me if I was her Boyfriend, I said yes, there was this moment of silence for like 2 minutes, her Aunt was crying and instructed me their address, I summoned myself to their place in Jasaan, Misamis Oriental, then I saw her - and this ended up as the greatest heartbreak I have experienced. She had Leukemia.
It cut me really deep, as if tons of bricks were crushing me, and pulverizing. She broke down again, She explained that she was tryin to get away. She loved me so much and wanted to ease my pain and her suffering. She's at the point of trying to commit suicide and not drag people into her own abyss, she wanted to let go of life but her family wasn't ready for that yet. And I respected their decision, I wanted to close my eyes and move away in that very second, so I could just forget her and not hurt me that much- but I couldn't. I cannot forget her in my sane mind, I loved her so much that I was willing to stretch horizons looking for her. She had the disease since high school. I asked when will her chemo start? The blood transfusion? Her Aunt responded, all will take place in Japan (they weren't really that financially stable) so I was a bit confused. I asked why? She can stay at my place, I can set up fundraising concerts or solicitations, part time jobs, or loan some cash from families.
I was ready to shave my own head for her Chemo wig. I have seen a lot of people suffering this disease, and I know the torment.
Then that aweful statement from her Aunt rang my ear, she's already engaged to a Japanese friend of her sister in Japan, my gf left her fiancee 2 months ago. And the only way to get the therapy done, all the treatments,chemo,and blood transfusions will be through that fiancee (who will pay all the treatment cost in Japan) which needs to be through her sister's blood donation. The Aunt explained, this is the only way to save her life. I didn't have the money yet ( I was still in college), everything was urgent, they need the transfusion within 2 weeks, I need to set up distance and move on and leave her.
Discombobulated, devastated, and left with no options, I felt I was submerged in a mudpool with no air, I tried crying, but I just don't want her seeing me broken. Then we talked for the last time, I held her soft pale hands, she assured me that everything will be okay but also very pessimistic about the ordeal she's been through, explaining that when she dies, she'll always remember the nights we had and that special moment we spent on the deck, endless talks in MacArthur Park, the movie dates, of how she always tuck her head between my arms and on my chest, and the future trips that could have happened. Also, that there will a be gift waiting for me by Christmas (She already wrapped it for me but instructed her siser to only give it by december).
Then poof!, I got back to Cebu. I tried forgetting the experience, but still I pondered, if only I was capable enough of sustaining the whole treatment myself, If only I was a better man, If only this dreaded disease is only a pharmacy away. I had thoughts about the wrapped gift, the theater, the shipdeck, everything.
Then December of 2007 came, no news, her FB account closed, her Aunt left Jasaan, no contacts from anyone close to her. Then I remembered the wrapped gift, it never came to me. Then my vision brightened - could she still be alive and married? And still think about her even today. It could have been the perfect romance. She changed me a lot.
