Heartache On The Big Screen

Chapter sixteen
————————————

Everything has an ending—including the bad times and the dark phases. There will come a time when you felt like the world is always working against you and you felt like everything you've got became useless. Bad things shouldn't happen, especially to good people, wala naman akong ginawang masama. Wala naman akong tinapakan na tao, pero bakit ganito yung nangyayare sakin.

"Ma'am kaylangan niyo po talaga magbigay ng statement." The policeman said.

Nakaupo ako sa sofa habang nakatulala sa kawalan. Hindi ko pinansin yung mga police na palakad lakad at pabalik balik sa unit ko.

"That can wait, can't you see?! We need to get her to the hospital! Its been 20 minutes!"

Nagsisigawan na sila dun pero ako, tulala pa din. Namamanhid yung katawan ko physically at emotionally. Walang wala na kong lakas.

"Sige Sir, pasensya na po. Nasa baba na po yung ambulansya Sir, pupuntahan na nalang namin kayo sa ospital para sa investigation."

Umalis yung pulis at pumunta sa kwarto ko, naramdaman ko naman siyang lumuhod sa harapan ko.

"Can you walk?" He almost whispered, he looked really worried pero wala akong energy para pansinin iyon.

Hindi ako makasagot.

Walang lumalabas sa bibig ko at halos hindi ako makagalaw.

"Alright," he stood up and I felt his arms wrapped to my back and legs to lift me.

Buhat buhat niya lang ako hanggang sa makarating kami sa baba habang nakabalot ako ng jacket niya.

We went to the nearest hospital at dumiretso sa emergency. He never let go of my hand kahit na sinabi nung doctor na sa labas muna siya.

"Please, treat her well." The last thing I heard from him before everything went black.

"Hey.."

I tried to open my eyes and tried to stand but I couldn't.

"Don't stand up." He said.

"What time is it?" I asked. Napatingin naman ako sa bintana nung napansin kong gabi pa din—what?

"Its 10 pm."

Kumunot ang noo ko. "But—"

"You've been asleep for 2 days."

Napaawang yung labi ko sa sinabi niya. What? But it felt like I've been sleeping for hours only.

"How are you feeling?"

"Fine." I said, not looking at him.

I feel so ashamed, matapos ko siyang sigaw sigawan last time, siya din pala ang tutulong sakin.. I'm thankful he saved me, but I seriously don't want to see him right now... how do I tell him that without sounding so selfish and ungrateful?

"Anong masakit sayo?"

"None." I coldly said.

"Thats... good." He smiles at me.
