Sound of slow and heavy footsteps resounded, as someone entered into the kitchen. A delicious smell of fresh,white bread and vegetable soup was hanging in the air. An old lady sat down and a woman that was cooking served her breakfast.

"You know, you can take it easy, Luiza. I think this body of mine can handle the cooking!"

The lady laughed bitterly.

"No, it's alright. Your health is getting better, but it is still not stable yet. We should go to the doctor for a check-up today, right? Just rest until then, mom."

Luiza smiled brightly at her dear mother.

"Well, alright, I'll take you up on your offer."

This light hearted interaction was a common sight in this house and if one was to observe it from the side, he would not find anything amiss. That was what Luiza thought as well, when she cleaned the dishes and went off to her work. However, a slight worry that came out of nowhere, was slowly but steadily making itself more prominent.

Luiza Diranoka, one of the most famous models in the country. Her charcoal, silky hair were as soft as fur of a bunny and her deep, sharp ,azure eyes made one drown in their peerless beauty. Her soft character and mother-like strictness saved and captivated people. Her tall, curvy figure could be seen from far, but not many dared to approach. She was known as 'Mommy-Luiza' among her students in modeling agency, but her other name has been spread much broader.

'The Queen of broken hearts'. She had rejected many worthy and unworthy men that tried to approach her, thus resulting in being single even now, when she had turned 38.

*****************

"Mommy-Liu.... oops. Teacher! ... ha.... ha... your ... mother.. c-called."

She passed Luiza's phone to her. The sombre feeling only got stronger as Liuza answered her mother's call.

'Mother never calls when I'm at work, unless something urgent came up'

"Mom, it's me. What happened?"

No answer came, but when Liuza started to panic, a very shaky and weak voice reached her ears.

"L-luiza, my ... chest hurts a ...lot. I..."

*Beeep** beeep* *beep*

The call ended.

***************

Ten minutes later, Luiza was already at her house's door. She dashed inside only to see her mother collapsed on the floor. She run up to her and found that she was breathing. A mountain was lifted from her shoulders in an instant.However, she didn't waste any more time and called an ambulance.

It has been an hour since Luiza's mother was taken to take care of. Now Luiza, even though she seemed as calm as ponds water in windless day, was panicking on the inside.

'If only I was there! My intuition never betrayed me, but why did I ignore it today?!'

At this moment, a doctor that was treating her mother came up to her. When Luiza saw her, she still keeping her calm voice, asked.

"How is Mother?"

"Her condition was stabilised, but I'm afraid that she won't be going home any time soon."

"W-why?'

The doctor seemed to be troubled and didn't know what to say. In the end she just bluntly told Luiza the truth.

"Her condition was stabilised for now, but she most likely will not live more than 3 months at most."
