Heartfilia's Premises

Chapter 6

"Nurse Amfeil, what happened to her?"

"I do not really know. She was brought here by Justine Lointe. I asked him what happened but he just told me to take care of her."

I woke up having no idea where I was. Napalingon ako sa nag-uusap at nakita ko sina Louise at ang School Nurse.

"What are your implications when you checked her up?" tanong ni Louise sa nurse.

"Lack of air. She fainted," the nurse answered.

Ibinaling ni Louise ang tingin niya sa akin at agad niyang tinahak ang distansya na mula sa akin nang makitang gising na ako.

"Gosh Aleighna! Mabuti gising ka na. Pinag-alala mo ako! I hurriedly went here nang marinig ko ang usap-usapan na sinugod ka raw dito sa clinic na unconscious. Gosh! Ano bang nangyari sayo? Sana pala sinamahan na lang kita kanina. Gosh. I'm really sorry Aleighna. Hindi dapat kita iniwan," sunod-sunod na pahayag ni Louise.

Umupo ako at sumandal sa headboard ng higaan.

"Leigh, wait," aniya at biglang inangat ang baba ka, "Nurse Amfeil, have you checked this?" aniya at agad namang lumapit ang school nurse sa amin at tiningnan ang bandang leeg ko at saka ko lang naalala ang nangyari. Nang akmang hahawakan na ni Nurse Amfeil ang leeg ko ay agad ko itong inunahan.

"Let me check your neck Miss Lowrie. Hindi ko napansin iyan kanina," aniya.

"Wag na. It's fine. It's nothing," I did not know my reason of doing it. Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang pinagtatakpan ko si Nazaire at ang ginawa niya sa akin. I was still scared. Parang nakikita ko pa rin ang sarili kong unti-unting nawawalan ng hininga sa mga mata niya. It felt like whenever I looked at his eyes, I was always at stake. I could always feel danger seeing his soul.. His dark soul.

"Aleighna, I need to, okay? Mr. Lointe ordered me to make sure that you are fine," she said while still trying to convince me.

Bahagyang napakunot ang aking noo, "Who's Mr. Lointe?"

"Uhm, Leigh, it's Justine. Siya raw ang nagdala sa iyo rito," paliwanag ni Louise.

So it was confirmed. It was really Justine who saved me from the devil.

"Okay na po ako nurse. Do not anymore bother," I assured her.

"Ganoon ba?" pagkokompirma niya at tumango na lamang ako, "O siya. Basta kapag may hindi maganda sa pakiramdam mo just call me okay?" I nodded and she then went out the room.

Meanwhile, nanatili pa rin ang tingin ni Louise sa akin hanggang sa makalabas kami sa clinic. We headed to my dorm as adviced by Nurse Amfeil.

"Now, tell me what Nazaire really did," ani Louise at napatingin ako sa kanya na bakas ang pagkagulat.

"How did you know?"

"I am a department representative Leigh. Mas madami akong alam kumpara sa mga ordinaryong estudyante rito. Now tell me what triggered him para sakalin ka niya," seryosong litanya ni Louise.

"Aware ka pala sa nangyari, bakit hindi mo direktang sinabi kay Nurse Amfeil?"

"Because I wanted it to directly come from you!" she said while raising her tone up.

"Bakit Louise? Takot ka bang ilaglag si Nazaire? Takot ka bang mabahiran ang pangalan ng presidente niyo? Takot ka bang malaman ng iba na hindi perpekto ang SCB President ng Heartfilia?" I sarcastically said.

I saw Louise took a deep breath. She was trying to stay still. She kept her eyes shut at sunod-sunod ang malalalim na paghinga niya. Ilang segundo pa bago niya iminulat ang mga mata niya at tiningnan niya ako ng diretso.
