Don't Cry

028

Thank you for those who supported this from the first book up to here. No words can describe on how I can give you my gratitude. This is the last chapter and next is the epilogue. I hope you will also be able to support my series that I am currently writing which is the Costa Estrella Series. Once again, thank you!

As I open my eyes, the white ceiling welcomes me. I roam my eyes inside the room that I am currently at and I realized that I am in the hospital.

"Maayos na ba ang pakiramdam mo, anak?" agad na tanong sa akin ni mommy Althea nang makalapit siya sa akin. Sumunod naman sa kanya si mommy Athena.

"I'm fine po," I said with my hoarse voice I have. I can even feel the dryness of my throat.

"May kailangan ka ba? Pagkain? Tubig?" mommy Athena asks.

"Water," I managed to say.

Agad naman siyang kumuha ng baso at ibinigay sa akin. I immediately drink it all to quench my thirst.

"Lalabas na muna ako at sasabihan ko ang daddy mo," ani mommy Athena kaya tinanguan ko na lamang siya dahilan upang lumabas na siya.

A few minutes later after mommy Athena went out of my room, I heard that familiar loud voice.

"Ate Venice, how are you?" malakas na tanong ni Misha nang makalapit sa akin.

"Misha," saway naman ni Lay sa kapatid. Inismiran siya ni Misha bago ibinalik ang tingin sa akin.

"Nag-aalala kami ng super nila mommy. We are so glad that you are finally awake after two days of sleeping."

Hindi ko in-expect na ganoon pala ako katagal na nakatulog. Kaya naman pala uhaw na uhaw ako pagkagising ko.

"The doctors said that there are so many blood na nawala raw sa'yo," saad ni Misha kaya napatingin ako kay mommy Althea upang malaman pa ang nangyari.

"Luckily ay walang natamaan na vital organs sa katawan mo kaya hindi naman nagkaroon ng complications. God! I am so worried, Venice. I don't want to lose you again," ani mommy Althea at niyakap ako nang mahigpit.

Gusto ko sanang magprotesta dahil nahihirapan ako pero pinili ko na lamang na huwag na lalo pa't naiintindihan ko kung bakit ganito siya. I can feel the warmth of her hug. Sahalip ay napangiti na lamang ako. Maybe, God didn't take me because I still needed to be with my family more.

Napatingin ako kay Lay sa gilid na kanina pa walang imik. Sabagay, he is always like that. And maybe he is just giving this time for my mother and Misha to asked me if I am fine.

Nang bigla kong maalala ang nangyari bago ako napunta rito sa hospital ay labis na galit ang naramdaman ko. She ruined my life. Up until now I still can't fathom why she hated me that much. Kasi ako, kahit galit man ako sa isang tao ay ni minsa'y hindi ko hiniling na manira ng buhay.

It wasn't my fault about the things that happened in her life that's why I still couldn't comprehend why she is blaming me for those. Siya ang gumawa ng mali. She even managed to set me up with a whole crime before.

Dapat siguro ay pinakulong na talaga siya dati para hindi na niya nagawa ang mga bagay na ito. Kawawa naman ang kapatid ko. Kailangan niya pang mamaalam nang dahil sa babaeng 'yon. Kailangan niyang pagbayaran lahat ng kasalanan niya.

I am lost with my thoughts about that wicked girl and because of so much anger, my fist balled into a fist as my jaw locked themselves tight.

"Venice, ayos ka lang?"

Napatingin ako kay mommy na nag-aalalang nakatingin sa akin.

Maybe I should ask her. I needed to know if that girl is suffering the consequences of her wrongdoings.
