C4 Chapter 3

The hope immediately rose that Trigger and I would really be together forever, but in the end it disappeared immediately and I just slapped him on his arm.

"Angeline!" He likes me. It seems that my hitting on him got stronger. I did the peace sign and that time I was the one who held my breath.

"Yes. It's okay, I'm a bit happy. You made me hope again -" But I couldn't finish what I was going to say when he winked at me.

"Gaga! I'm serious, I used my connection and I found out." Curiosity immediately enveloped your entire body.

"W-what did you find out?" The whole system immediately became nervous. T wind! He can't say that Trigger is gay, so until now there has been no news of him dating a woman. Oh my God! Don't do it, it's a waste of his race!

"His hiring." Hiring? I creased my forehead. Until I remember what he said. Hiring? Hiring a job?

"Hiring? Hiring a job? Well, I'm not qualified, you know I'm just a high school graduate." It seems that I should really accept that there is no forever! Trigger and I are not meant for each other. Huh! Slap He flicked my forehead so I leaned back and glared at him.

"It's a different job! Don't be rude and finish what I'm saying." I just got angry and then you nodded your head. I also acted while nippering my mouth. He just shook his head and continued what he was saying.

"He's looking for a bedwarmer Angeline and I thought of a way for you to apply." He excitedly told me. I don't know how to react.

"Don't you even think that you're hitting two birds with one stone?" Ciffer asked me to tell him that I should think about what he was saying first. He shook his head and then continued what he was saying.

"You will be with Trigger and you will have more money. You can get Tita treated. I immediately understood what he said. Mom needs to be treated as soon as possible, I don't want to lose her.

"And besides you're living your life to the fullest, correct?" I looked back at him again when he asked me that. I was automatically put on hold. Because I promised myself if, I'll live my life to the fullest I'll make sure I can do everything I want even if I'm not rich, as long as I have the chance I'll do those adventures that I think are cool.

"That's why you apply as Trigger's bedwarmer, take it as my dare." And then he grinned at me. I just rubbed my forehead and shook my head one after another. But my stomach rumbled because of the hunger to know that Ciffer would continue nagging me.

"What haven't you decided yet?" Ciffer asked me a little annoyed. I couldn't help but grow my nose at the reaction of his face and the tone of his voice. It's been three days since he told me about Trigger's hiring, but until now I haven't really decided. Can I still think of that nonsense, until now Mama is confined to the hospital and can't go out because she is still weak.

I don't even know where I'm going to pay the bill and buy the Doctor's prescriptions. Tita is really bad, she doesn't want to take out loans. So even though I really want to look after Mama in the hospital, I can't, I have to sell for my salary.

I was not able to answer Ciffer when Doctor Santa Maria entered my room with another nurse. There is like a nurse watching over Mom inside, his blood pressure fluctuates quite a bit so it is necessary to watch it. So, Ciffer and I decided to hang out outside, where the waiting area is. The entire system was immediately filled with nervousness and I was about to enter Mama's room when one of the nurses stopped me. I couldn't do anything but wait outside and cry.

"I do not know what to do." I told Ciffer and then he allowed me to sit in the waiting area. He also handed me a bottle of water but I couldn't reach it because of the weakness I felt after our conversation with Doctor Santa Maria again.

"Mama needs a blood donor and tomorrow is the deadline for me to find a blood donor who can give it to me for free." Because Mama has blood type AB and it's hard to find, there would be a case here in the hospital that needs to be paid immediately. Well, where do I get the money? Why is it so hard for them to understand that I don't have money and won't lend me the bill first? It's annoying!

"That's why I told you earlier, you have to decide. I'm not pressuring you, but because I also need my money to fund my new designs. You know that my fashion show is in September and we're rushing now, of course, all the collections have to be finished or I'll get upset with the clients. I also need investment, bess." I nodded at what he said, I understood him. Sigh.

It didn't take long and Ciffer also said goodbye to me because he still had a lot to do in his boutique and said he would come back when he had free time. I just nodded and thanked her and then decided to go back to Mama's room but she was fast asleep.

The tiredness was obvious on his face. I couldn't help but cry and before I woke him up from crying, I just decided to go to the small church here in the church.

I prayed for a while and asked Papa God what is the right thing to do? But it looks like I don't have a choice either, I don't owe anything and nobody like me wants to lend me money. Sigh. Even Bombay. Ciffer is my only friend, we are high school classmates and to cut the story short, we have been best friends for ten years now.
