19 Memories 1

Slowly opening her eyes, Sister Fatima was really feeling blissful seeing her little Mimi come here for her, even though they are like sisters, she was more of a mother to Marga, a tear escaped her eyes because she knows that it will not be long before she has to leave her and she don't want the girl to ever feel abandoned again."Why are you here Mimi? How about your work?" Sister Fatima was trying to sit up.Marga held her back "Don't worry, I already asked for a leave at the company and if there is something they can just send me an email.That's why you need to be healthy again so you can go with me to Fountain City, I heard they have really good water shows there, so we can watch together okay?"

She can no longer hold back her tears, so she let out a muffled sob, looking down so that her tears will directly fall to the floor.Inside the room were Father Son, Liza, and her, the 2 brothers has not yet arrived since they were just notified last night about the situation. Liza was standing just behind Marga and she was now crying so hard, she has always been a cry baby of the family, but now even how hard she tried not to cry, she can't really can't help it as she hugged her father tightly.

Twelve years ago, "Come in Marga, this is my room!" Liza said smiling while showing Marga her room, there was a huge big in the middle with pink bed covers, pillows and bolsters, there were also stuffed animals placed on the bed.She was there that afternoon to help them unbox their belongings, "Just feel at home Sis, maybe you can stay over for the night too, I will go and ask Aunt." with that Liza ran outside leaving Marga alone in her room.Her room had a balcony in it, so Marga stepped outside and looked at the view from outside.From below she saw Stephen and Tommy carrying boxes from their yard going back and forth to their house, with such seriousness on their face, both boys really looked like their father.

Still in daze, Marga did not notice that Stephen looked up and waved at her, he was raising his hands for a good 5 seconds before the girl finally noticed and waved back at him shyly, then returned to the room just as when Liza came back."Aunt said you can stay for the next few days, she actually gave me some of your clothes too, hahaha, it seems Aunt wants you to live with us." Liza said happily bringing a bag full of Marga's clothes.

Looking back, it seems that Sister Fatima already knew about her illness and wants to make sure that Marga will have a family even after she is gone, so she wanted her to stay with her brother's family then eventually move in with them when the time comes."I'm sick George, and I don't know how many years I have left.Can you be Marga's family when I'm gone?" Sister Fatima said seriously while drinking tea with her brother.Concerned crossed his smooth face " What do you mean Fatima, are you that sick? Why don't you get treatment, I will help you." George Son begged his sister.They have not seen each other for the last 6 years and now she is sick, he wants to spend more time with his sister now that they are finally reunited."Don't worry brother, I am not that sick, it is a degenerative disease and there is really no cure.I have already looked into it, I will not be in pain so you don't have to worry about me.I'm just worried about Marga, I am the only family she has left." Sister Fatima explained while gripping her brothers hand to assure him that everything will be alright.
