"She just suffered from spontaneous relapse and flare. A flare is a temporary downturn due to frequent acute stress or overexertion, and every patients is advised to review all their recent activities or events that may triggered this symptom. At tulad ng kwento nyo, kagagaling lang nya sa ospital tapos na-envolved na kaagad sya sa mga physical activities, that caused her relapse, minsan kasi akala natin magaling na tayo kaya aakalain ng pasyente ay pwede na sya gumalaw-galaw ulit.
"And the flare makukuha iyon sa mga emotional triggers like too much stress and overthinking, tapos hindi pa sya kumakain that caused her to faint, you better feed her and mostly make her avoid overexertion para hindi na mauwi sa chronic fatigue syndrome. Masyado'ng weak ang katawan nya, physically and emotionally."
'Yan ang sabi ng doctor habang kausap si mom, habang ako tinitignan lang si Panini sa tabi ko habang nakasimpleng sando at pajamas nalang sya ngayon.
Bakit naman kasi kelangan pa tumakas, eh. Tapos wala pa'ng kain-kain.
Umalis na yung doktor pagkabigay nya ng reseta kay mom.
Umupo si mom sa kabilang side ng higaan at hinawi ang buhok ni Panini.
"Oh, Panini.." she whispered with a broken voice. Halata rin sa kanya ang pagpipigil ng luha.
"Mom, you okay?" tumango lang sya habang kagat-kagat ang mga labi.
"Don't worry mom, she'll be fine.." I warmly said. Kahit naman sino'ng ina hindi mapapalagay kapag may ganto'ng nangyari sa anak nila diba?
She just smiled and looked at me. "Thanks, Drejory." her stare's like thanking me, too. At parang may gusto sya'ng sabihin, yun ba'ng iba ang pinasasalamatan nya. Maybe, its just me, I guess so.
I cleared my throat, I just don't want to give it a benefit of a doubt at that thought. "..I don't know that Panini's into this kind of activities, how did you tracked her mom?" pag-iiba ko ng usapan.
"Connections.." tipid nya'ng sagot, I just nod pero totoo I feel awkward now.
"Panini hates animes.." bigla'ng sabi ni mom.
"So, that's why her costume looks like an online-game-character." I said matter-of-factly.
"Actually, she doesn't like animes nor cosplaying.." I frowned.
She doesn't like? Eh mukha nga'ng passion nya ang cosplaying, kita'ng-kita ko kanina sa cosplay convention.
Nagulat naman ako sa sunod nya'ng sinabi and to the nth time, I became puzzled.
"Panini doesn't like, Yuki does..."
Huh? "Yeah, Panini is Yuki, right?"
"You can call it that..." nakakapagtaka, pagkakasabi nya nun, napa-iling-iling sya.
Answerable by yes or no lang naman ang tanong ko pero she answered it complicatedly.
Kanina pa 'ko naguguluhan pero pinipilit ko nalang na wag magtanong. I don't even feel if I have to.
Then another awkward silence followed. Kati'ng-kati yung dila ko magtanong, kung ano ibig nya sabihin. But if you'll just look at her, alalang-alala sa sitwasyon ni Panini with matching teary eyes pa, na parang dinaig pa yung anak na may terminal stage cancer.
