“Don’t cry, Silhouette. He hates to see people crying,” Winther’s sister, Frina, said again.
I nodded despite of the fear inside of me. In this time of great pain, I have to remember that everything will fall into place, that Winther will be fine. He will recover. We will find a way out of this terrible situation, where our heart feel like someone has burned it alive and even breathing hurts so badly. I wonder whether all these fights are worth it at all.
“Winther is worth saving, don’t forget that. We have to save him from getting hurt by showing to him that we’re also fighting with him. Let’s be strong.”
Again, I nodded. Hindi ko alam kung anong isasagot ko dahil kinakabahan ako. Mula sa labas ng kuwarto ni Winther, halos isang oras kong narinig ang mga sigaw niya habang namimilipit siya sa sakit, and it hurts me like hell.
But despite the pains, I have to remember that it will hurt before it gets better. It’s going to ache before it starts to heal. And I hope, Winther’s pain will be that case, it will soon fades away and be healed.
“Maiwan ka na namin. P’wede ka nang pumasok,” saad ni Ate Frona. Tumango ako.
Pagka-alis nilang dalawa, sakto namang tumunog ang phone ko. It is a text from Winther.
FIVE: Saan ka?
ME: Planet Nemik.
FIVE: Hahaha. Ginagaya mo na ako ngayon?
ME: So?
FIVE: Mataray ka pa rin:(
ME: My nature.
FIVE: I know. But seriously, nasaan ka?
ME: Do you want me to come?
FIVE: You left?
ME: Guess it.
FIVE: Come in.
ME: What made you think that I’m at your house?
FIVE: Umalis ka ba?
ME: Yeah. Sorry. Have plans today.
FIVE: Ouch. You really left?
ME: I have a date. Sorry.
FIVE: Sa lahat ng sinabi mo, diyan ako ‘di naniniwala. You can’t have a date if it’s not me :-D
ME: Wow. Hanep confidence mo.
FIVE: That’s me. I’m cute, aren’t I? Hahaha:D
ME: What. The. Heck.
FIVE: Hahaha. Just making you smile. Saan ka ba talaga?
ME: Behind the door. Can I come?
FIVE: Nope.
Natawa ako. Atleast, medyo nakahinga na ako ng maluwag.
ME: Kung makaasta ka kanina parang ayaw mong umalis ako. Tapos ngayon ayaw mo akong pumasok? Wow, ha. Bakit ‘di p’wede?
FIVE: Pretty humans aren’t allowed to see me:D
A smile escape from my lips. Kahit na mabigat ang pakiramdam ko, nagagawa niya pa rin itong pagaanin kahit saglit.
ME: I’ll go home then.
FIVE: Jokolang. Haha. Come in, babe.
ME: Shut up.
FIVE: Come over.
ME: Nagbago na isip ko.
FIVE: Sus. Pasimple ka pa. Huwag ka nang mahiya. Alam kong miss mo na ako. Lika na rito.
