"Go Bliss to the operation room, Celiza."
We just arrived at the hospital. Dad is currently being cared for by doctors and nurses in the emergency room.
Next was the emergency room.
Most were Dad’s co-workers in the factory. It is not yet certain what really happened but something exploded while they were inside and they were not exposed due to the speed of events, no one noticed either.
An explosion was heard in a shop so people came out of there and saw the factory on fire and then called the fire department and an ambulance.
Mom and I were both waiting outside the emergency room, she turned us on and was restless, it was a walk while I was barely able to think correctly.
I just stared at the emergency room door while sitting in the chair outside it. Dad was rushed to the hospital where Bliss was also.
"Go there, Celiza," she said.
"But Mom p-how are you here? You're not included."
"Your Dad needs me here."
"But Mom..."
"Your sister needs you Celiza. Her operation is about to start. Go there. I'll be with you."
I sighed and nodded.
Weakening and I can't move. I can’t believe all this is happening.
Today is my graduation day. It supposed to be a happy day ...
We must be having fun because I finally finished senior high school.
Why is our family going through all this?
Tears pooled in my eyes. How many more cries do I have today?
What the hell is going on with my life?
What is going on at graduation? That will probably be over.
They have graduated...
They will happily continue on to the next part of their journey.
What is going on in my life? Why is this? Am I that involved for this to happen to my family?
I pressed my lips together.
I'm so tired but I can't give up ...
Not allowed.
My family needs me.
Mom arrives at Bliss’s surgery. This followed because Dad was still being treated.
He ordered me to get clothes at home so I went home first.
Right now I'm thinking about where to get the hospital payment.
The machine used in the factory overheated, it was said to be old and always used, it could not rest so it exploded. That’s what the police said.
Earlier, the factory issued a statement that almost half of the people were in the hospital. Fortunately no one was killed, some were injured and others were in complicated situations, just like Dad.
Even though Dad was not close to the machine, another machine hit his foot. The doctor said he broke a bone in his leg.
He can no longer walk.
It can be treated or treated with therapy but it is expensive.
The factory owner paid the hospital bills. It also provided ten thousand less than the drug that was prescribed.
Dad was awake but we couldn’t talk.
Although he was surprised by what happened, Dad could not accept. Yesterday he forced himself to stand up. We tried to resist but it was compelling. The two of us shed tears as we witnessed that, even though we were not accepted.
"What the factory owner gave us was very little, exhausted immediately."
Mom hadn't slept for almost a few days, even if I forced her to go home first, she didn't want to. Somehow I was able to sleep for four or two hours.
"Mom, what are we going to do?"
"I don't know Celiza." Her voice croaked.
"Your Dad can't work. His salary in that factory is already small after all! If our company wasn't bankrupt it wouldn't have happened! Why is this happening to our family? Even Bliss was affected by this accident. ! "
"I'm sorry Mom... I started this misfortune ---"
"Shut it Celiza. If it weren't for you, your brother wouldn't be able to operate. It's a good thing Mrs. Morrison's son is mad at you."
"What if we ask for help aga ---"
"We can't mom."
She sighed.
"How can we live now? I can apply for a job but what about your father and Bliss? You can't take care of them at the same time. Two jobs isn't even enough for the bills."
My eyes remained on her.
"I'll just owe it to my other friend ---"
"Mom, you don't need to. You owe only one more man."
"Then how are we going to pay for your father's therapy and for Bliss maintenance? Bills? House? Electricity?"
"There's still a way Mom."
