Ria's POV
"Is she gonna be okay?" terribly worried, I asked, "I mean... anong nangyayari sa kanya? Panay na 'yong pagiging unconscious niya.." Humigpit ang aking pagkakakapit sa side rail ng medical bed kung saan nakahiga si Art na walang malay.
"We still have to wait for the lab results," sabi ni Doc Liv, ang physician ng Academy.
My eyes focused on the then rarely visible freckles on Art's cheeks, now a bit more darker and pigmented, like little sun spots. Kinutuban akong kaya luminaw ang mga ito dahil pumutla ang kanyang balat.
Her lashes gently fluttered while her eyes were still closed. Nilingon ko si Doc na napasulyap lang din sa akin, walang maibigay na sagot o paliwanag.
Galing kami ni Art sa mall at pabalik na sa dorm nang bigla siyang nawalan ng malay. But this isn't the first time this has happened. In fact, it's been a week since she started fainting. Bigla-bigla nalang siyang natutumba nang wala sa lugar at oras.
Mabagal kong sinuri si Art, mula ulo hanggang sa may tiyan nito. "She's not pregnant, is she?"
Wala akong narinig na sagot mula kay Doc kaya mabilis akong napalingon sa kanya.
"Is she?" hindi ko makapaniwalang usisa.
Doc Liv returned a blank gaze. "No, she's not, Ria."
I let out an awkward laugh. "I know, right?" Palihim akong bumuntong-hininga. "That would never happen."
"I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said." Lumapit si Doc sa monitor na nakapatong sa bedside table. "You know that level of intimacy is punishable in this school."
Kamuntikan na akong mapairap sa sinabi niya.
"It's not unless you get caught," bulong ko, dahilan na tignan niya ako nang nanliliit ang mga mata.
Napailing ako. "What?"
As if wala talaga siyang alam.
"Every day, every rule and regulation gets broken in this school. May ibang students lang na sadyang mas magaling kaya di nahuhuli," sabi ko.
"At may ibang estudyante rin na walang pakialam kung mahuhuli ba o hindi," dugtong ni Doc at saka hinarap ako. "You can go back to your dorm, as I still need to run more tests on the patient," aniya. "I'll send you a complete report once the results are in."
