Chapter 5

I'm sitting here in front of my laptop thinking about Cobby. He's absent the whole afternoon today. Rheena and I just assumed that maybe he's sick and he went home. He's always like that. There was even one time that he didn't tell us that he has a fever. We didn't know he was sick until we touch his forehead. He said that he doesn't want us to worry about him, BUT NOT TELLING US IS MORE WORRISOME! He always hides his feelings!

And the person who's leaving gift boxes at my desk is adding to my problems!

This flash drive I'm holding is making me worry, too! Aish~! What's happening to me?!

➡️ 180305

" I have a fever. "

What a coincidence! I was thinking about fever and his entry in this date is about him having a fever?! I think I'm having a fever, too! Aish!

" I didn't tell my friends and even my father or the people here at home. If I tell them, I'll just be a burden to them. They have things to do, too. Besides, this is just a fever, I'll be alright in a few days. "

Does Cobby think like this too? Ugh! I'm having a headache! Does he also think that he'll be a burden to us? That's why he doesn't tell us anything if he's sick or what's going on with him? WHAT KIND OF LOGIC IS THAT??! What if he's too sick that he can't even handle his self? What if he suddenly collapse somewhere? We've been friends for years now, yet he still doesn't tell us anything. That's why when he's not around, we just can't help ourselves but worry about him.

" I miss my sister :( "

Ooh? A sister?

" My sister is the one who takes care of me everytime I'm sick. She's also the only one I can talk to at home. But she’s already dead. She died 2 years ago. It was a car accident. It happened when she was going to her husband’s workplace. According the people who saw the accident, it was caused by a garbage truck. The driver lost control of the wheel and hit two cars, one is my sister’s. She was already dead when taken to the hospital. Her husband, together with their three years old son leave our house. I know why he did that, he doesn’t like my father. They were about to leave the country and start a new life when that accident happened.

I didn’t know what I should do that time. My father seems like to doesn’t care about what happed. It seems like he wasn’t sad at all. After my sister burial, he even went on a business trip. THAT DAMN OLD MAN! All he care about is money! Money can’t even buy everything! He’s always away that I only see him once or twice a month. I sometimes think that I don’t have a father. Rich? Yes. But it’s a damn life."

Can’t this day be any sadder? I don’t know if I can still sleep properly tonight. Aish!
