Kabanata 24

Kabanata 24:
Alive

I can't feel my lungs and heart functioning anymore. I lost ability to breathe. My body is so weak as water dominate it. I can't feel anything anymore. The only thing I can see now is the scenes where I'm with Kairus.

My body can't move as my eyes traces the details of his face. His thick brows, dark menacing eyes, narrow nose, lips as red as the rose, angled jaw and his muscular and tone body. I will gladly accept death if I would be with him in afterlife in eternity. I won't have any regrets ending my life if I would see him in return.

How long I spent my life is enough because I already have him, I already find my home. Kung mawawala lang rin pala siya sa akin ng ganoong kadali ay wala ng dahilan pa para ipagpatuloy ang buhay. Sapat na sa akin ang mahanap ang tahanan ko kaya ngayon hahanapin ko muli siya kahit sa kabilang buhay pa.

I will be home, finally. I want to be at peace with him.

I'm drowning in fantasies and memories with Kairus when all of that faded immediately when I heard unclear sounds. I feel something hard pumping my chest that making my frozen heart started to beat.

"Fuck! Breathe! C'mon!" I heard a muffled voice sounds begging. My mind become blank and black again. The veins in my body become warm as blood start to flow again. But I'm still not breathing. My lungs can't function.

"Breathe!" the sound is getting inside my ears. I don't know if it because of the water in it or I'm imagining things. Is it Kairus voice? Where is he? Bakit wala akong makita kundi kadiliman lang? Hindi rin ako makagalaw.

Nakarinig pa ako ng ilang hindi klarong salita habang patuloy na binabayo ang dibdib ko ng kung ano. Its hard and calloused as what Kairus hands feel when I hold it.

"No! Hindi puwede!" narinig ko na iyon ng klaro at napasinghap ako sa isip. Nakakulong pa rin ako sa kadiliman at parang patuloy pa rin akong nalulunod. I just feel something soft and tender brush on my lips.

Hindi ko alam kung ano pero natigilan ako. Pamilyar na pamilyar iyon sa akin. Naramdaman ko ang hangin na pumapasok sa bibig ko mula sa kung saan. I feel air travelling through my chest until it sent down to my lungs. The blood in my body started to make my systems and all organs back to life.

My body arch as I feel my chest tightened. May nararamdaman akong papalabas sa aking bibig.

Parang rumaragasang alon na gustong kumawala. Suminghap ako sa pag-awang ng labi. In milisecond I cough waves of water suddenly come out from my mouth. May nakita na rin akong liwanag sa mga mata ko at suminghap ng makaramdam ng hangin na lumalabas sa ilong ko.

"Yes! Breathe! Come back to life Kayeziel!" it was like a warm arms embrace me again as I feel my body function. I can feel my lungs and heart functioning. Sinubukan kong gumalaw pero hinang hina pa rin ako. Ang tangi kong nagagawa ay huminga at parahas ng parahas ang pagkalabog ng puso ko.

Cold breeze sweep across my face. I see blurred light as I cough and water continues to come out in my mouth. Nanginginig ang daliri ko at hindi malinaw sa akin ang lahat. I heard a unclear voice again as everything went black.

I feel like I'm floating in thin air. My chest and throat are sore. Masakit rin ang ulo ko pero ang gaan ng gaan ng katawan ko na para bang nakalutang ako. My eyes move as I slowly open it. Unang bumungad sa akin ang puting kisame.

Ang amoy ng likido, gamot at makina ay inatake ang ilong ko at muli akong umubo. I craned my neck to see more and I see a white room. May IV fluid na nakakabit sa kamay ko. An oxygen was attach on my nose. Even with my weak body I tried to remove it. Agad kong nalanghap ang malamig na hangin sa kwartong iyon.
