He's The Genius And She's The Brat Gangster

Chapter 5

Alex

"Gumalaw sya. Gumalaw sya"

"Tingin mo samin bulag? Gago tumawag kayo ng doctor! Dali"

"Ian san ka pupunta?"

"Tanga tatawag ng doctor"

"Gago mas tanga ka. Saang bundok ka ba galing? Hindi mo ba nakikita 'yung button? B kang hayop ka"

"Eh sa nataranta ako eh. Sapakin kita dyan eh"

Walangya bakit ang iingay? Bwiset na mga ito sarap baliin ng mga buto.

"Hayop asan na ba-"

"TANGINA BAKIT ANG IINGAY NYO!?" parang may dumaang anghel nang sumigaw ako.

"Di na kailangan ng doctor"

"Oo nga nagmumura na eh"

"Pero pandak pa rin"

Inalalayan ako ni kuya Kurt na maupo.

"Masakit ba?" tanong ni Josh nang mahalata na nakahawak ako sa ulo ko.

Ang sakit nga pero hindi ko lang pinapahalata. Nasa hospital ako?

"Hindi" lumayo na sakin sina Josh at kuya Kurt nang dumating na sina mommy at daddy. Sila ang nagcheck sakin.

"Ah shit"

"Alex bakit?"

"Hala okay ka lang?"

"Langya anong masakit?"

OA ng tatlong unggoy na 'to. Napamura lang ako. Sinubukan ko kasing igalaw ang kaliwang binti at paa ko pero kumirot lang.

"Drink this. Mga 2 days pa anak bago ka makalabas dito and more than a week bago ka makalakad ng ayos" shit. Totoo ba 'yun. More than a week? That's bullshit.

"You must be kidding me" I can't accept that.

"I wish I am but don't worry anak, your dad and I will take care of you personally"

"No need. I can take care of myself" Tss ayokong magmukang mahina. Kaya ko ang sarili ko.

My parents insist but at the end they gave up. As if namang may magagawa sila. Pagkatapos nila akong i-check at kulitin ay umalis na rin ang mga ito. Hindi nakaligtas sakin ang masamang tingin nila sa mga kasama ko lalo na kay kuya Kurt.

"Nakakatakot sila" bulong ni Ian na umupo sa tabi ko at kumuha ng orange.

"They are not" I answered.

I'm not even scared at them so meaning they are not scary. Ang besides they just gave them a sharp look. What's the matter with that?

"Bakit ang daming tao?" hindi lang kasi silang lima ang nandito. May apat pa na ka-gang namin.

"For your safety. Malamang kumalat na ang balita. You know our situation" kuya Kurt replied. I hate this.

"Paalisin nyo sila. I can take care of myself. I don't need them"

"But Alex-"

"Paalisin nyo sila. Do you like me to do it by myself? I'll assure you you'll regret it"  Yeah I'm acting like a  brat again but I just can't let them take care of me while I can take care of myself in the first place.

They did what I said. I can't move my leg but I'm not paralyzed. It can't stop me from breathing.

"Alex papasok na muna kami"I just nodded. I know they are worried and quite disappointed the way I acted while ago but geez it's my ego we're talking about.

Tumahimik nanaman ang buong kwarto when they left.

"Shit shit! Useless leg! Fuck!"

"You will hurt yourself" bakit hindi ko namalayan na may nakapasok na pala?

"What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're going to insist to teach me again despite of my situation"

"I heard it will reach until two days before you can leave your hospital" tss it's actually his fault.

Masyado syang mapangahas. Hindi ba nya naisip na kung hindi ako lumiko he might be in my situation? Or else in worst condition? Sa bilis kong magpatakbo baka patay na sya.

Wait? Why am I thinking about him anyway? He's the reason why I'm here so I should be mad at him but unfortunately I'm not.

"So? May klase ka 'di ba?"

"Uhm yeah. Actually dumaan ako dun para magpaalam"

"Magpaalam?" geez Alex kelan ka pa naging palatanong? As if you care.

"I'll take care of you in two days" he must be kidding me.

"No! You won't. I-"

"You can take care of yourself? Common Xandra can't you see your situation? Admit or not you need someone. And besides... It's... my fault" did he just called me Xandra?

Bakit parang nahirapan akong huminga nang tawagin nya 'kong Xandra? I felt something weird and for the first time I'm not annoyed. Usually kapag may tumatawag sakin sa pambabaeng pangalan naiinis ako.

But know.. Argh I don't know.

"Are you listening to me?"

"Don't call me Xandra again" It's not that I don't like it pero kasi.. Ay ewan!

"Why not? It suits you" I looked away.

Wait? Did I just looked away? Common what the hell is happening to me?

"Why did you do that?" I still can't look at his eyes. I feel uneasy.

"What that?"

"That. Why did you risk your life. Pwede mo naman akong sagasaan" now I'm annoyed.

Is that how he thinks about me? Na kaya ko syang sagasaan? Wala akong pakialam sa iniisip na ibang tao sakin pero ngayon naiinis ako dahil sa iniisip nya.

"I might be a brat and a gangster but I'm not a monster" nagtalukbong ako ng kumot at pumikit.

Ganun ba kasama ang tingin nya sakin?

Tristan

Now I regretted what I had said. I just want to know her better. Not because what happened was my fault but something's pushing me to go near at her.

Gusto kong mapalapit sa kanya which is very not me.

"Xandra"
