Note Came True!

The vow to marry Emmy, that he mentioned in that note in high school was now about to come true and no time would have been better than now and so he planned a trip to the Philippines where he’ll ask Emmy, “Will you marry me?”  on a cliff with a scenic background of fireworks. An ideal proposal! Sadly, before the trip could take place, everything went wrong horribly!

Humble Request

Before the couple could take off for the tropics, Emmy was in Sydney to meet Jake as she usually does. She was supposed to return to London on the next day hence, it was the last day of their time together until their next trip to the Philippines. She was spending time with her childhood love, next to the beach lying in the sunlight. They looked like the rest of the couples for the last time. As Emmy’s request was about to destroy all their plans.

Just A Massage

“We were just two people in love lying on a beach in Sydney without a care in the world… who would have known what was to happen next…” Jake remembered. That Sunday afternoon suddenly turned from a chilled-out, laid-back afternoon to a shocking moment when Emmy asked Jake to give her a neck massage, which Jake kindly accepted as it was doing something nice for the woman of his dreams, the one he wanted to spend his life with. But what was going to happen before he could massage her neck was least expected.

A Glance Shocked Him

“We were sat in restaurant on a Sunday afternoon – a really sunny, beautiful day – and I just put my hands round her neck from behind and I knew straight away [something was wrong]. My blood ran cold,” said Jake of the day that ruined everything. He was scared as hell but he didn’t want to worry Emmy but he knew this could be something very disturbing for both of them. What he noticed was enough to scare Jake as he was a doctor himself.

Don’t Panic

“You don’t want to worry someone so I didn’t shout ‘oh my God, Emmy, why didn’t you tell me about this’ or anything,” Jake further added, “I just said very calmly that she needed to have it checked out really quickly.” He decided to handle the situation wisely without panicking Emmy and himself. Emmy didn’t get any sign of Jake’s thoughts so far. She thought it was due to her hectic schedule that she was feeling tired. But this incident was just the visible smoke, the actual fire was yet to be identified.

Rush To Doctor

“I told her to make an appointment with her GP as soon as she got home. And that’s what happened.”He tells in an interview, “I was trying to push her to go to the doctors.” Monday, when Emmy returned to London she made an appointment for the same day and went for a checkup. There wasn’t an instant assurance about anything from the doctors as they wanted to get a few tests done. However, their expressions were indicating that something was not at all right.
