Sabay ulit naming sambit. The doctor sighed and inhaled.
"The patient is now stable but she's still in ICU so you can't visit her. Now, if you'll excuse me."
Tulala akong napaluha, hindi ko maiwasan ang hindi makaramdam ng ginhawa sa narinig. My heart jumped out of joy and relief. She's alive! She's safe and now stable.
"Let's talk. Follow me." napalingon naman ako sa lalaki. Doon ko naalala ang sinabi niya. Pasyente niya si Annie? My head imagined worst scenarios. Is my friend sick? Uncurable disease? What?
Kaya't nang lumakad siya palayo ay nakatunganga pa din ako sa sahig.
"Don't you have ears? I said follow me!" halos pagalit niyang sambit.
"I have ears! There are two of it!" Kumunot ang noo niya nang makitang hinila ko ang tainga ko para ipakita sa kanya.
Binalingan niya muna ako ng tingin bago tumalikod at naglakad palayo. He looked at me like I'm a crazy bitch.
Umirap na lang ako at sumunod sa kanya. It's already two am in the morning when I looked at my wrist watch. Ganoon kami katagal na naghintay?
Tumigil siya sa walang katao-taong hallway. He looked at me with those pair of deadly accusing eyes. He looked at me like I did something so cruel and bad.
"What have you done?" mariin niyang sambit.
"What?
"Before this happened. What have you done?"
Agad kong naalala ang pagtatalo namin ni Annie. Napapikit ako bago sumagot. "We fought."
"What did you say?"
"I.. I told her to leave."
He sighed. "Why?"
"Because I found out something that made me incredibly mad." I whispered.
"I think I'm getting what happened. Is this about the gifts she sent you? The notes? And even threats?"
Napatingin ako ng tuluyan sa lalaki. "How did you know that?"
"I am her pychiatrist. So I know everything."
Pychiatrist? Why? Bakit may psychiatrist ang kaibigan ko?
"Annie have borderline personality disorder or BPD. It is a serious mental illness. More women have it than men. There's no known cause, but it's believed to be a combination of the way your brain is built and the things you experience in life."
