Donny together with his Lolo and the specialist went back to their places and Camila was very thankful for their visitation. But before anything else, Donny told Alyn something like, " Alyn, I know that you will be alright." Camila could not say something sufficient as a way of expressing her gratitude toward them. The point when Mariano came, Camila immediately told him about it and the same feeling, Mariano felt so thankful for hearing about it.
Donny couldn't join scouting again and same goes for Alyn. Though, they may not be able to be Eagle Scouts but they know deep within that they can be Eagle Scouts by hearts. Donny had to give his full attention to Alyn. He constantly visited Alyn to check her out while the specialist was making a right schedule for Alyn's surgery as soon as possible. Donny was being multifaceted in a way that he needed to check many things out but he loved what he was doing definitely.
Furthermore, Donny purchased some fresh fruits for Alyn because he was about to visit Alyn again and again. When everything was packed, he proceeded to getting into his car.
He eventually created his steps to reach to his destination.
While he was driving, he felt something weird. He suddenly got his goosebumps but he chose to believe that everything was fine. Donny continued on driving and the weird feelings never fade away. After hours of driving, he arrived to his destination. He pushed the button of the doorbell for three times, five times, ten times, but nobody came out. The ambiance around was gloomy and Donny was wondering what happened. Donny tried to ask the nearest neighbor of the Greece family and they said that there was an ambulance earlier but they didn't know what was the next thing that had happened. Donny immediately called the specialist and his Lolo to tell the news and afterwards, he moved forward to find Alyn but, in the middle of everything, he received a text coming from Mariano. It said there, " Donny, as a father of Alyn, I just want to follow what my daughter said, Please, don't follow us. Again, don't follow us."
Donny wanted to do the otherwise but he felt that it would be bad if he would choose to a stubborn one. So, Donny redirected his way to church to pray for Alyn's recovery.
Mr. Dong really wanted to help and even the specialist but Alyn was blocking their ways for a simple reason that, Alyn thought that it would be just a waste of time , energy, and money. She had this strong intuition that she was near to eternal kind of rest and Alyn was exhausted already. She needed to rest. She was breathing with the help of oxygen. Her heart was not being cooperative. Alyn was thinking that it will be a good thing to not allow Donny to see her because she knew what will happen afterwards. She can't afford seeing the person who gave her that kind of rare happiness getting hurt because of her. She just can't and even though, that decision was not included for Donny's own choices, I would still choose to pick it though it wasn't the kind of choice she wanted to have. Alyn couldn't explain so much enough for everything that had happened. Everytime she could imagine herself before, being timid, scared, coward, fearful, fainthearted, whatever it may be, she knew that Donny was the reason why she became the opposite. She became stronger, braver, courageous, and a believer. But most of all, Donny prompted her to be curious how it felt to be in a world of love. I may be too young for this but you can't blame me. I am sick and this may not be a very valid reason but I knew that it is normal to love and to be loved. I was told by my doctors that I was not allowed to experience things that are "too much" but just for once, I allowed myself to experience things too much. And when I said too much, it was the too much happiness and not too much sadness and Donny gave it, provided it, and showed it to me. He was too patient and competent. From the very beginning, I met him in scouting. We were once scouts but to be an official eagle scouts were not aligned to us. I've learned that we can never fight against time. But I am not sad. I do not feel down and depressed. I am indeed grateful, very thankful, elated, and proud. I've done an excellent job in school. I am an excellent student and I am a good daughter. Weak heart? Eye disability? From the very beginning, I knew that I have all of this for a reason and maybe , to give others meaningful lessons or it's either to teach my loved ones that whatever happens, they have to move on or it could also be to allow myself to realize that I should always get past my fear and turn it into power even in the short period of time. I met a lot of people in my life who gave me different kind of emotions and these emotions make me feel to be a human and as a human being, we all deal with trials and tribulations, moments of adversity, and we also deal with triumphs. But all of this, would help us to shape ourselves in order for us to become the best. I am not physically stable but I know that I am precious. I am precious because I give value to everything and I give value to my gift, " my life". I just can't understand why others are commiting suicidal activities where in, here I am , always hoping and looking forward to being physically stable. But don't worry, I am okay. I am okay because I have my parents who always give me strength and the fuel to keep on fighting. I tried many many times, and would always choose to try but I would just see how life would go for me. So now, in the moment of ambiguity, I would tell something with a sense of certainty that you have to make everything worthy. I enjoyed a lot in life, so much. There were times when I was having doubts within myself considering how weak I was but I was able to conquer it by having faith in myself and believing for a fact that my disability is my power. I missed school. I've been longing for scouting and seeing my friends. I've been longing for numerous things but it is okay. And most of all, I miss him.
Donny could not afford seeing himself anymore not doing anything. He wanted to visit Alyn. He wanted to see Alyn and touch her or hug her. Donny gained the confidence to call Mariano but Mariano didn't answer. Donny felt so useless and he started asking for his worth and at the same time, he asked himself, " Why they have to do this? I don't understand." Donny could not understand everything but he felt like he had enough. He grabbed his car keys and got into his car and find Alyn. He could not just sit idle and wait for a permission to come over. He went to the usual hospital where Alyn typically got confined but there was no image of Alyn out there. Donny proceeded to any hospitals but the same things had happened. He couldn't find Alyn. Donny went back home with tears on his eyes. He wasn't able to fulfill his intention. Donny decided to go back to the office to tell Mr. Dong as to what really happened. Donny could not just tolerate himself to be inactive and moveless so he immensely needed to do everything he could possibly do.
Unfortunately, it was a wrong timing for Donny to come back in the office for Mr. Dong wasn't there. He had some meetings to attend and he will be coming back after three days. Donny was wondering why his lolo did not inform him but luckily, his assistant explained to Donny that Mr. Dong Smyth got really busy. Donny understood the circumstance and he never had any sort of complains because he knew that his Lolo was really having hectic schedules from the very beginning. Donny took rest for the mean time so he could eventually come up with right idea afterwards.
Life tend to be so hard for Donny. One thing that he really wanted at a time was to know where Alyn was but he remained clueless and nobody gave him the answer. Donny was dilapidated and skeptical as well. He was just a human being and as a human being, he also got exhausted and he also got hurt and affected due to the things that mattered toward him. Donny was in a trajectory of discombobulations. He had lots of questions within himself that he could not answer and he was always hoping to be okay and to solve things out. But, it was not that easy. It took time. However, life of Donny continued. Donny was on his way to the grocery store and he wanted to buy something rare but he did not know what it would be. When he finally arrived, he just strolled around to find out what he was looking for. And then, he bumped into someone all of a sudden when he moved backwards. The moment he checked who was it . He was surprised for it was Cryst. Cryst extremely changed. It's been a long time since they've met so, Cryst and Donny had the chance to have small conversation. As the moments progressed, Cryst asked about Alyn to Donny. But Donny answered it by saying, " I can't just talk about her for now Cryst, I hope you would understand that." Cryst nodded as a way of understanding what Donny said and that time, they eventually made their toodles to one another and expressed how happy they were to meet once again. As for Donny, he was still in the middle of searching what to buy. After few minutes of searching, the then finally got equipped with an idea of what to purchase. A chicken's meat! As far as he can scan back, the first time he saw Alyn was when she was eating adobo paired with rice that is why he wanted to buy chicken's meat and cook adobo for tonight as a way of helping himself to reminisce those precious moments. Donny had no experience of cooking adobo and it was going to be his first time ever. While he was holding the chicken's meat, Donny could not force himself to not smile. He remembered all those memories that compelled him to smile. Donny stepped forward to the cashier to pay for it and he was there, lining up. Afterwards, he went back to home and he was excited to see what would be the taste or the outcome of his recipe. Donny prepared all of the ingredients he needed and the utensils at the same time. Donny never thought that he would enjoy doing it. He loved what what he was doing. He chopped the meat first to acquire right sizes and washed them over and over again and he proceeded to the spices to be utilized and when everything was set, he moved to anything else. Donny smiled widely for being ableto enjoy and have fun and reminiscing those memories made him feel so special. Donny felt awesome and his pain was slightly covered with a smile at the end of the day. When the adobo was finally and already cooked, Donny put it on the bowl and eventually got some rice on his plate. Donny placed everything with a genuine smile of him and he took a picture of it. For a short period of time, Donny was able to realize that he should be feeling great and looking back those things , his confession, his birthday speech, were indeed worth saving. Afterwards, Donny started eating and he laughed loudly. He laughed because his adobo was not delicious. The taste was hard to understand. But Donny had no choice but to laugh at it and eat regardless of what it tasted like. It was a good time for Donny for being able to enjoy life considering and estimating how heartbreaking and tragic those things were that he had been encountering.
