Hi to all readers of my blog. The article you will about to read is from a true to life experience which can determine our faith to god and your love to your partner. I hope you will like it.
The year was 2001, Rodolfo entered college for the second time. As undergrad with his Associate in Computer Technology, he is not anymore a greenhorn in college life. At first glance at the school, he already knew what this school will bring to him. Later, he joined the theater group of the school where he met Maricel. Maricel is a first year student taking up BS Secondary Education and like Rodolfo, she was auditioning for the theater screening. The first time they saw each other, it was by a mistake. Maricel was crying aloud at the corridor and her face is full of sweat and tears. Rodolfo hand her a bottle of water and they start talking. From then, they became friends. Seeing each other on lunch time and even going to mall together sometimes. Friendship begins with this two. Never knowing that it can lead to something else.
August of that year, the school has its program and they attended it. They seated near the stage and close together. Some friends of them were trying to teased them for their sweetness, but the only reply was their smiles. One part of the program was to serenade the candidates by a romantic song (it is a beauty contest by the way). Then Rodolfo find the right time to tell what he really feel to Maricel. Rodolfo held her hands tightly and tell her deeply how he really love the girl. When he ask Maricel for her answer, she said yes. It was heaven at that time for both of them. The friendship became something else and thats what happened to the two of them. All days passed by. As like any couples, they shared their ups and downs of their relationship but they didn't knew that because of this ups and downs, they became stronger and been even better everyday. And they celebrated their 4th year anniversary as boyfriend -girlfriend relationship. Life is not that perfect (and fair) for everyone. There came a tragedy that test their faith and love to each other.
Month of January 2005, Rodolfo rushed Maricel to the nearest hospital for some stomachache she felt. According to the finding of the hospital, it was a UTI (urinary track infection). Rodolfo didn't believe to the findings and went to another government hospital on the next city. There, the findings was a inflated appendix and any moment, it could explode inside. The only answer is an ooperation but there are 7 more patient waiting to be cured inside and she was on the eight list. Time is runnin out for Rodolfo and Maricel. Rodolfo talked to the head surgeon and signed for a waiver for her released. He went outside and call a taxi. Rodolfo asked the driver to go to a private hospital on the next city. As the driver making there way, Rodolfo was holding her hands and telling her not to give up. As they reached the hospital, staff took Maricel inside the emergency room and Rodolfo was left outside. Praying for the safety of her love one. He wish that the pain and agony of Maricel will be put on him. Crying out loud and thinking of nothing. His head is just a black big clouds. Then the staff called Rodolfo to tell they were going to have an operation for her. The findings tells that her appendix was exploded and the only solution to survive is by an operation. I agreed and telling her not to give up.
Three hours had past, He's still counting. Four, five , six hours, sitting at the corridor waiting for the doctor to come out. Then, the head surgeon passed the door and told to him the condition of Maricel. She was already sleeping. The fer of the toxic inside of her was over but the chances of surviving is up to her now. He went inside and told her how much he love her. Holding her hand tightly and said "I love you and I believe in that." What i touching moment. The nurse beside the bed actually cried because of the moment.
He ran out the hospital and went to a church. He put his knee down on a Sto. Niño and prayed. (The said Sto. Niño believed to be as giver of miracles to hopeless ones). As he went back to the hospital, she woke up and the first thing she knew was his face. She said "I'm alive."
One week later, she recovered quickly from her operation, what's next to be faced is the hospital bills and her medicines. Gladly he's a working student at that time and his salary helped him so much but its not suitable for big amount of bills in the hospital. He made a solicitation letter address to the school administrator and he went room to room asking for such donation for her girlfriend. He also went to the city hall to seek such financial support from a group or even from a politician. All of these was for her.
February, at last the hospital bills were paid, and the medicine, he will think that later, what is more important is they will go home now. They went out of the hospital and go straight to that church when Rodolfo prayed. They thank the Sto. Niño for giving such miracles to them.
And now, after 3 years, Maricel is teaching in a private school and had survived the operation. As for me, when I remember what we have gone through together, I just can't imagine. Is this because of love? Or becasue of something else that is all above us! What ever answer it is, one thing is for sure, I never... ever... QUIT!
Thanks for reading!!!!!!
