CHAPTER 36

Everyone is preparing their gifts for her birthday.
She's supposed to be twenty seventh by now but all those gifts from her kuya's was useless. No one could open arms accept those. He can't accept those gifts because he doesn't want it. He maybe rude with his friends but he never intend that though. Eight months. Eights months is already passed and she still in comma.

He was living in his miserable life. Blaming himself for putting her in Intensive Care Unit. She spend two hundred fourty-eight days in hospital and now, she'd also spend her birthday in that stretcher bed with medicine  machines. He was thinking about her when she was ten years old, She really love parties. Recieving gifts from guest and even laughing with the person she loves but today, it's her twenty-seventh birthday but didn't have a chance to celebrate. Therefore, he, and her family and friends was living incomplete. 

Her parents already giving up on her but he never let her go. Only that supporting machine could extend her life. Evrio was already talked to him about her but he never agreed to sign. He did everything just to stop Evrio parents to sign the contract, he even kneeled to begged infront of his friends. But because of his determination, they let him and now here he is. Outside of the door of ICU where Crisha's peacefully unconsciously  laying at hospital bed. He never absent to come at hospital and his friends was actually worried about him but he doesn't care. His life is already useless without her. Sasamahan niya pa din ang dalaga kahit hirap na hirap itong walang malay. 

Someone  tap his shoulder as he looked at that hands, he was surprised when Kihl appeared in front of him. That's miracle.

"I heard the news, you begged  for her parents." Kihl uttered.

"I should have to do that." He said hurtedly.

"Are you fine?" Kihl worriedly asked him. He look at him and simply smiled.

"She's a fighter Waithern. Don't give up on her because as what I've known her, kapag gusto niya o importante sa kanya ang isang bagay man o tao, kinakaya niya lahat."

"Yeah, that's my babe."

"I have something to tell you too why I am here." Seryosong wika ng kaibigan. Napakunot noo siya dito.

"But we can talk at somewhere else. Not here, baka makita ko pa ang taong yun."

"Okay."

--

Sa Canteen ng hospital lang silang nag usap magkaibigan dahil ayaw niyang mawala ng matagal sa tabi ng babaeng mahal niya. Kung hindi lang mukhang importante  ang pag uusapan nila ni Kihl, wala din siyang balak na makipag usap pa. Biglang may iniabot ito sa kanya na wallet na ikinakunot ng noo niya. It's actually feminine wallet dahil kulay asul ito.

"There's a letter on it. And don't worry, hindi ako chismoso hindi ko yan binasa. Pero 'yung nakaipit sa letter nakita ko ang picture niyong dalawa." Saad nito.

Hindi siya umimik, dahan dahan na binuksan niya ang wallet at nakita niya agad ang isang puting papel na  nakatupi pa na parang eroplano. Binuklat niya 'yun ng paunti  unti pero kasabay niyon ang pagtulo ng luha niya.

"Fuck, tama bang nakikita ko? Umiiyak ang isang gago kong kaibigang piloto?" Hindi makapaniwalang turan ni Kihl at napapailing.

"Fine, iba talaga  nagagawa ng love.  Tsk, hindi ako makikiuso sa love na yan tangina. Nakakabading umiyak." Pagdadaldal lang ni Kihl sa tabi niya.

Nabuklat na niya ang letter at noon lang biglang nahulog ang litrato na tinutukoy ni Kihl kanina kaya mabilis na dinampot niya 'yun sa sahig at napangiti siya sa nakita.

That's their first couple picture. Litrato nila noong nasa Paris sila. Hindi niya aakalain na tinago nito 'yun at nagawa pang ipalaminate. Binalik niya ang paningin sa papel pero bigla ding nagsalita si Kihl sa tabi niya.

"Bago mo yan basahin gusto ko lang malaman mo na nung pinuntahan mo ako kung sino siya sa buhay mo nung panahong wala ka pang naaalala sa nakaraan mo, sumunod na araw pinuntahan niya ako para bigyan siya ng permisyong makapasok ng immigration at para hintayin ka. Wala akong balak na pagbigyan siya dahil lang sa bunso namin siya at umaandar ang pagiging brat niya pero pinagbigyan ko siya dahil sa tanong ko na nagustuhan ko ang sagot niya."

Nangingiti pa ito bagaman nalungkot din dahil sa nangyari  sa kinakapatid  ng mga ito.

"What did you asked her?"

"Do you believe in Love? And she  answered me nonchalantly, I believe in love dahil si Wreizz ang definition ko pero ikaw kuya Kihl, pag tinanong kita ng tanong mo anong isasagot mo? Ofcourse wala kang sagot. Dahil masasagot mo lang yan kapag nahanap mo na siya." Napapatawang turan nito kaya napangiti siya.

She really loved me.
Nabulong niya sa sarili.

"Ganyan nga pre, ngumiti ka. Ayaw ni bunso na makitang nasasaktan ka. Pag hinayaan ka naming mga kaibigan mong mag emote diyan, sesermunan kami ng babaeng 'yun. Buti sana kung madaling paamuhin 'yun tssk. She's still the brat we used to know."  Naiiling na turan nito.

"Thanks pre."

"Paano, tapos ko na ang sasabihin ko sayo, kailangan ko ng umalis. Maraming chix sa bar ko baka hinihintay nako." Wika nito kaya naiiling na hinayaan niyang umalis na ito.
Napabuntong hininga siya at inumpisahang basahin ang letter.

My Wreizz,

I was ten years old when you stole  my innocents. Like what you did! You stole my first kiss! You don't have any idea that I can't even have a crush on my schoolmates or classmates. And later on it, I was already into you.  I kept on my mind, maybe this will remain as one sided love because I was the only one who likes you. Who admires you secretly. I really hate those girls who likes you but I more than hate you for taking granted them! That's bad! Having a countless girls won't make you handsome cause it makes you jerk. But then that's not important. I just really want to tell you that I like you so I made this letter and I also want to inform you that I'm going to take the medicine course. I want to become a doctor just like kuya but I realize I'm afraid of syringe.  So i decided to choose what I like and that is designing! Can you please be happy with me? Malay mo ako mismo magtatahi ng damit natin pangkasal ayieeeee  I'm really crazy right? Hahahaha I know I know, I am because despite of my efforts, I barely know that you won't have a chance to read this and I'm not going to handing this to you. I won't embarrassed  myself either though. Knowing you pa naman? Papatayin mo ko sa pang aasar. And I suppose that maybe my future wouldn't be perfect especially my love life story. You're a pilot and I'm just an ordinary college student who wants to have a huge fashion designs boutique. A house for us when we're going to build our own family. How many children would you like? Hahahaha I'm so manyak na I'm sorry. I just can't help to think this since I'm no longer crushing you or liking you. It's like I love you na waaaahhh nakakahiya na talaga ako pero gusto ko talagang bago ako mamatay akin na apelyido mo. Wala naman nakong pangarap  talaga after ko gumraduate ng high school pero dahil  piloto ko kailangan kong ibagay ang sarili ko sayo malay mo mapansin mo ko ayieeeee  pakatatag ka Self. Hanggang pangarap ka na lang talaga. Pero dahil lab kita gusto kong magpromise sayo na wala akong ibang gugustuhin o mamahalin maliban sayo. Kung mamamatay man ako dahil nga deds na deds ako sayo titiyakin kong mahal mo na ako. Pero kung masasaktan naman kita ngayon pa lang gusto kong isipin mong patuloy kang mabuhay. Tuparin mo yung mga gusto mo pero ano ba yan love letter ko to sayo bat nauwi sa parang matetegi ako? Hahaha kainis basta My Wreizz, hindi ako susuko satin kahit hindi ko sure  kung anong mangyayari sa future.

Nagmamahal,
Your clumsy girl.

He bitterly smiled of her letters.
She won't give up no matter what happen. He sure with that. Hinanap niya ang cellphone sa bulsa saka may dinial na number para tumawag.
