"What?" Sabay nilang tatlo sinabi sabay sakin, napa iwas nalang ako ng tingin dahil hindi naman nila dapat malaman yung sakit ko, eksena kase si Ricci at yung langit na yon irita. Kinausap lang ako ni Dr.Ruiz at umalis na agad ito.

"Rafa why didn't you tell us?" Tanong ni Juan, asa tabi ko na siya ngayon at muka talaga siyang nag aalala at ang lungkot ng itsura niya. Lumabas si Jordi para bumili ng food dhail inutusan siya ni Juan.

"Ewan" Sagot ko.

"Does Ricci know?" Tanong ni Javi, umiling lang ako and i heard them sigh. "Hindi halata sayo na may sakit ka Rafa, i always see you smoke cigarettes outside the gym and nag tatago ka pa sa likod ng mga kotse eh nakikita ka naman" That made me laugh.

"You have a heart condition tapos nagawa mo pa mag bisyo" Juan said firmly i playfully rolled my eyes and ruffle his hair. "Im serious Rafaela you have to stop, you have to be healthy for goodness sakes! You always eat fast food!"

"Kalma lang papa"

"Juan's right Rafa, from now on we will watch you" Javi said.

"We wont let you touch a cigarette and even drink a drop of alcohol, you should always be careful" Seryosong sinabi ni Juan, parang sila na yung mga kapatid ko kaloka. Iba pala mag alala tong mga GDL nakakataba ng puso.

"Uy pwede bang satin nalang yung nalaman niyo? Ayoko kase malaman ng iba na may sakit ako"

"Why?" Sabay nilang tinanong, huminga ako ng malalim.

"Kase once na malaman nila na may sakit ako they will all react kung pano kayo ngayon, ayoko ng ganun. Yung nag aalala kayo for me dahil parang ang burden ko, kahit sanihin niyong hindi ako pabigat hindi ko maiiwasan maramdaman yun kaya i chose not to tell you guys and also Ricci. Ayokong makita niyo ako as the girl na may sakit sa puso, im not a disease mga tsong kaya mag promise kayo sakin!"

Nag tinginan yung dalawa at para bang nag uusap sila gamit ang mata, naiintindihan ko naman na mahirap ito sakanila dahil nalaman nila na yung kaibigan nila pwedeng atakihin sa puso at mamatay anytime soon pero mahirap din naman sakin to dahil ang sakit kayang makita na nag aalala sila sakin ngayon. Mga kapatid ko nga pag nag aalala sakin nahihirapan ako dahil kitang kita yung sakit at pag aalala sa mga mata nila tapos ngayon yung GDL bros naman.

"We respect your decision Rafa" Si Javi ang unang nag salita, nginitian ko sila and i gave them a hug.

"I promise not to tell Ricci" Bulong ni Juan and that made my smile wider. "From now on we will take care of you and wont let anything happen to you okay?"

"That's right Rafa, we will be your brothers in campus" Sabi ni Javi, grabe ang sarap sa pakiramdam marinig yun. Never kong inexpect na ganto mangyayare today. "Anyway what happened ba? What triggered it?" Nawala bigla ang ngiti ko ng maalala ko nanaman yung ngyare.

"Rafa and i went looking for Ricci and we stop over at SB and when we got there Ricci was there lang pala and he was not alone, he was with Heaven and we both saw that the girl kissed Ricci they had a little argument there" Kwento ni Juan.
