“Should we enter?”
“Yah, we came all the way from school to see him and to know why his going to quit. “
“Uhmnn guys”
“What?” answered Terrence and Apple not looking in front they bumped to a man which seems to be standing in a line of people going to a room.
“Look at where your going kids”.
“Sorry mister.”
“What’s with this line, this is not a convenient store you know it’s a hospital.”
“It’s a place where sick people go to get cured” added Terrence as he was about to take a step but was stopped by a hand.
“Young man, correct me if im wrong but you and your friends are going to room 319 right?” asked a lady.
“Yes ma’am, hmnn how come you know?”
“Look around kids there is only one room left going to this direction.”
“So no butting in the line” a smiling nurse said.
“Theres a lot of you guys again today, Dawn’s one famous kid isn’t he, well I would date him if his 9 years older” chuckled the nurse as she laughed going to the door.
*knock**knock*
“Come in.”
“Hello Dawn you have a lot of guests again, just going to check if your okey. How are you feeling?”
“Im fine nurse” smiling Dawn looked at the line outside as his eyes gazed in front then at the back he saw 3 familiar faces that made his face brighter.
After 30 minutes of waiting they finally had their turn to see him.
“What the! ”
What they saw in the room surprised the 3 this is like being in an anime they thought. Whats with the flowers and the balloons its like a garden here with chocolates all over. Its like a dream Terrence thought as his gaze fixed on porn magazines left by some dude wrapped in a ribbon and placed beneath the bed. He sensed a sharp eye from behind he felt like he was facing death well not actually facing cause its from behind but he felt like he was being pricked by pins from behind, trembling he spoke gently “Reflex Tamarrr! ” too late he though he only saw a fist getting near his face causing him to fall down.
“Hahaha you guys never change I missed you guys.” in his mind he knew that somewhat the reason they came was not only to say hi.
After a few minutes of question and answer Apple couldn’t wait any longer she wanted to ask why he will quit school but in her mind a thought keeps popping up –Should I ask or not- she thought it will not be the appropriate time cause its just been a few weeks an all but all the questions that pops up in her head she always finds an answer to it.
She paused and then she decided to say it. “Dawn..”
“My eyes are failing me guys” Dawn said that it made the three silent. He continued and asked them to listen.
“Im experiencing temporary blindness the doctor said its because of the damage my eyes had, you see my retina’s been damage cause of the accident and that as time passes by I will be permanently blind.”
“I don’t know how many days or weeks or months or it maybe be even after a year but my eye sight will keep getting worse until all I can see is black.” It made sense Apple thought, Dawn is always like that never wanting to be a burden to others, its just like him the three thought. With mixed emotions they knew and understood that something’s going to change.
“That’s why im quitting, im gonna transfer to a school where I’ll be trained for a life with no eyesight.”
His heart pounded, he didn’t know how his friends will react but he made his mind his gonna do this and he will do it right so he decided to transfer and to be ready when the time comes. The silence even worsen his anxiety in his mind he wants them to say something.
“Don’t be stupid were always here for you dude” says Terrence trying to be cool.
“I thought of hitting you Dawn because you didn’t tell us and we had to know of it at school that your going to transfer, but still we thought it would be something much worse. with operation you can see again right?” asked the petite Tamara.
“Yah don’t fool yourself if you think you can get rid of us STUPID! We’re siblings from different parents!” added Terrence. As he reached his hands clinched to Dawn just like old times.
“I see that’s good” *sigh* Apple’s smile was a sign of relief they knew she’s back to normal.
“I will be in your hands guys.” Dawn knew his friends will be there he always knew for their bonds were as tight as real brothers and sisters.
--------------------------------
As the days continue to pass by the minutes Dawn experiencing blindness seems to become longer and longer this made him realize that He must be not weak of heart, this is a world where you need to work hard to live and feeling helpless wont do you any good. As he was lying in the couch he held his right hand up making a fist he thought that he must be ready for whatever comes in the future.
“Dawn I know what you’re thinking but you need to rest it’s only been a few weeks since your accident” a woman wearing an apron said to Dawn as she was fixing the table. A sweet aroma enveloped the room that It made Dawn hungry. That’s what He liked about her mother even though she usually shouts and all but deep down she is gentle and he knows she loves her family.
“By the way son, you have your usual love letter and with cookies too and written here TO MY HEROO spelled with two “O’s” haha It’s from the lovely Katyln” it made her laugh as she went to give it to her son.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
“Mom, Come on…”blushed the young man as he held out the piece of paper and read it a loud. “My Hero” he repeated the words in his mind, it gave him peace and he felt a little braver.
He stood up took his jacket and some bread and went to put on his shoes.
”Ma, I’m going to the elderly home for a bit I’m taking some of your flowers okay?” he shouted as he reached for the scissors in the shelf.
“Remember to sit for a moment when you are tired and call at once if your blindness sets in. Do you want me to call your friends so that they can accompany you?” the worried mother said to her son.
“Come on Ma, ill just be gone for a couple of minutes an hour or two.”
“Say Hi to Granny for me okay” yelled her mother as her son closed the door.
As he was walking people greeted him young and old, male or female saying good job, some pats him on the back, some women even saying they will let him marry their daughter and this made Dawn even more shy. People around the area know of him not because of him saving a child but because of how hard working he is, he is known as the “Odd Jobs Specialist” from helping someone or looking for someone, getting a cat stuck on a tree you name it he will do it and what the people liked about him is that whoever asks for help he does it without complain whoever the client is a kid or an adult he does it whole heartedly.
Dawn reminiscing the past on how he got to working this odd jobs of his.
One summer when he was young he got lost looking for Apples slippers that got swept in the river as they were playing near it, Apple cried and cried that it irritated Terrence causing him to yell at her causing Tamara to punch him in the stomach the first time
It was already noon when Dawn noticed that his already lost but being the brainy one of the four he thought to just follow the river cause it may lead him to a bridge or by the highway but instead he saw a viewing shed with an old woman playing flute. He was very silent he acted like a ninja from the anime’s he watch in the t.v.
The music stopped causing him to start feeling nervous thinking his in trouble.
“Young man, are you lost?” a motherly voice called out to him. He was shocked because he thought he was silent enough as he listened to the soothing tune the flute made.
“Now come nearer and sit by my side, don’t be afraid I wont hurt you” smiled the motherly woman.
“Want some tea?” she offered “I also have some snacks but don’t tell my daughter you ate them cause its hers” she said with a warm smile.
Something bothered Dawn, he knew the old lady isn’t looking at his direction but how could she tell that he is there.
“Are you going to let a beautiful woman as myself to do the first move?” she broke into a laugh “Come now you must be hungry with the panting of your voice and the sounds your sweat make as they hit the ground, I can tell that youre tired. Come have a snack with this old granny” she added.
“Are you blind?” answered the young boy as he came nearer to the old woman he was cautious thinking the old lady might be a monster like from the stories he heard from his friends. He thought how un respectful he was as he never meant those words to come out of his mouth. Judging by what he saw he thought there is a possibility but he didn’t intend to say it out loud.
“You’re the first one who met me first time say that.” The woman said”Your correct what you say is true” she smiled facing Dawn.
“Wow!” He shouted “Its like in the movies, Are you a ninja or a psychic perhaps?” running hastily and sitting near the old lady.
“What a curious young lad you are” she said with a smile.
“Oh I forgot where my manners.” He said in a low tone, standing up he dusted his clothes and bowed lower “I am Dawn Roxas my lady?” remembering how the old people use to do it as he recalled in some movies he saw he did it also.
“My what a gentleman”
“My name is Natasha Laicell” reaching out her hand to shake Dawns “You can also call me Granny.”
They talked like long time friends that didn’t see each other for a couple of years until Granny’s daughter came to pick them up. The day ended with him not saving the day because Terrence found the slippers but instead he gained a friend ^^
There meeting wasn’t just a coincidence but it was faith.
This was the start of a friendship that changed how Dawn looks at things in life.
