To The Stars And Back (Completed)

35: The Visit

“Welcome back, Hana-ssi!” The MC reached out his hand to give her a handshake but Hana didn't even bother.

Even the MC felt a bit awkward when he realized that his hand was ignored by Hana. Instead of waiting for her to give a handshake, he pulled his hand.

“Oh, i see.. you're still healing. I see.”

“Mian,” (Sorry) Hana slightly bowed to him.

The MC shoved his hand to the air and laughed, “No! No, it's okay! I understand! It's fine, it's fine.”

After that, nag proceed na kami sa Q&A namin. Most of the questions are about how well we know our members and our songs. Mabuti na lang at matino tino itong show na ito at hindi puro scandal ang mga tinatanong sa amin.

“I'm leaving the script here,” he put his small folder beside the table to lean closer and rest his elbows on his lap. “I want to ask questions that actually came from me. Is that okay?”

Nag tinginan pa muna kami. Baka mamaya matulad na naman 'to sa dating show na Radio Night na puro rumors at scandal ang tinatanong sa amin. Pag lang talaga 'yun ang mga tanong niya, papatulan 'ko 'to.

“Uh, sure! As long as that's a safe question.” she joked.

“Let's go first with you.” turo niya kay Gem. “How do you handle becoming a Chinese idol and KPOP idol? Everyone knows that when you go to China, they only know.. you, right? Just you as Li Sying Bao and not Gem. How do you respond or react to that?”

“Well, first of.. i'm happy that my members understand the situation and..”

“Chaein,” napatingin ako sa kalabit ni Saera sa braso 'ko kaya ang isa 'kong braso ay pinatong sa sandalan ng upuan niya. “Nahihilo ulit ako.”

Bahagyang kumunot ang noo 'ko, “Bakit na naman?”

Mas humigpit ang hawak niya sa braso 'ko kaya nag alala na ako. Patingin tingin si Hana sa amin na katabi ni Saera sa kaliwa niya at tinitingnan ako na parang nag tatanong kung anong meron.

“Jacket, Chaein..” aniya pero wala naman akong dala kaya 'yung blanket na nakapatong pantakip sa lap 'ko ang binigay 'ko sa kaniya para ibalot sa balikat.

“Bakit? Ano nararamdaman mo? — ”

Bago pa matuloy ni Hana ang itatanong niya ay bumagsak na sa upuan si Saera. E ang taas pa naman  medyo ng upuan na 'to dahil swivel stool 'to kaya mas nag alala kaming lahat at baka napano ang ulo niya.

“Cut the cameras, please! Let's have a break first!”

Rain is slightly tapping Saera's cheeks, “Saera, saera. Ano bang nangyari? Why did she faint?”

My voice is shaking, “I-i don't— she's.. nahihilo daw siya and she's a bit cold.. i don't know.” pakiramdam 'ko ay kasalanan 'kong hinimatay siya.

Mr. Kang came up to us at siya na ang bumuhat kay Saera palabas ng room para itakbo sa hospital. Tulala lang kaming lahat na nakasunod ang tingin sa kanila. I can hear Minji crying already samantalang nahimatay lang naman si Saera. She'll be awake soon and be fine.. she just fainted..
