"It's nice to see you seeing our place na" she sat beside me and smile at me warmly "right?" I nodded timidly
"Yeah, thanks to you big time" I sincerely said
"You know hindi dapat ako ang pinasasalamatan mo" i nodded again
"I know" sabi ko nalang at huminga ng malalim, ilang buwan na ang lumilipas
It's been what? Two months?
Simula ng gabing yon, pagkagising ko nawala na rin siya na parang bula. Juan told me she cancel her project that vlog thing at wala na siyang nabalitaan after non because even her manager wouldn't tell us where she is
Sa loob ng dalawang buwan walang oras na hindi ko siya iniisip, she knows na may kasalanan pa siya sakin pero iniwan niya ko. Even my cousin riam the twins told me na wala sa pilipinas ngayon ang lalaking yon
Thinking that maybe.. they are together is making me gone crazy
Yes, walang memory lost ang nangyari sakin i didn't tell her dahil ayoko na siyang guluhin pero lagi nalang kaming nagtatagpo sa kung san san na hindi kona mapigilan pa, that night i'm planning to tell her everything. Everything that happen ng mawala ako pero iniwan lang niya ko
"You can continue your life again aiz" she softly said and smile
Tipid lang akong napangiti sa narinig, she called me on my real name.. this is the first time
"I guess so" I answered "you too nath, you'll be a doctor soon..i'm so proud of you"
"Hindi ka pwedeng mawala sa graduation ko ah?" I chuckled
"Oo naman" i answered with a genuine smile
Ilang minuto ata ang namayaning katahimikan after that little talks of ours, this is what i like about nathalie, she stays as my friend not because she pity me it's because she's a real friend of mine. Kung may nakakaalam man ng mga pinagdaanan ko it's her
This girl save me
She save me when i was in my dark spot and can't find the hole to escape it she dig in and pulled me to get out of that dark hole, sa masikip at nakakasakal na mga panahon na yon
"Look at me no one can hurt you now, we'll leave okay? Don't be scared look at me.. please"
I smile fainly "i w-wanna go he—"
"Oh fvck arthur! Let go of her!"
"Where do you think you two are going huh?!" My eyelids is getting heavy but it's clear how nath is already crying in pain when he grab her hair and pulled her closer on him, i tried to control my wheel chair to help her but he already hit me with his filthy hands "i fvcking told you didn't i? Work is work nathalie, you do not intrude on my business. Now i'll surely fvcking kill both of you!" He screamed angrily
My eyes is getting blurry, my breathing is getting unstable
But then i grab my wrist where her bracelet are, this thing is still my favorite that keeps me going till now
"Your mother left me because of your dad don't you know that?! Then now malalaman ko, she'll end up with some fucking girl? A GIRL?! DARN IT!!"
He laugh humorously.. he's scary
"She hurt us. Not only me but also you little girl, don't try to escape from me if you don't want to die."
After he left us, i felt nath's hand fixing my clothes on me shakily
"W-what did he do..?" She weakly asked
I did not cry, i just grip my bracelet on me and stared on it blankly "Madumi nako.. d-do you think she'll still accept me?" Malungkot kong tanong na ikinalakas lang lalo ng iyak niya
"Nanay!" I saw rocky running towards me kasunod neto si juan na seryoso lang na nakatunghay sa kung saan
"Hello lil boy! Kamusta ang school?" He smile cheekily, juan told me na nagaya niya sakin ito dahil siguro ako na ang kinalakihang ina ni rocky. rocky is a real ball of sunshine, napakaswerte ko because of him
"Okay lang nanay" pero ang hindi ko matanggap ay hindi siya nakakapagsabi sakin ng nararamdaman niya na alam niyang ikakakapanlumo ko, like right now this guy got bullied sa school ng hindi namin napansin, kung hindi dahil kay nathalie na nakakatakot pag galit ay hindi pa namin malalaman ng isang beses niyang puntahan si rocky sa school
"Rocky." I warned seriously
He smile genuinely "really nanay, tope got transferred pero nagkaayos nanaman kami bago siya lumipat, wag na po kayo magaalala" tumango ako pagkatapos niyang ikwento kung paano nalaman ng magulang ng batang yon ang pinagagawa sa school kaya inilipat daw ito sa ibang bansa na ang tatay niya pala ay ang mayor ng sa bayan sa kabila
"Ikaw may problema kaba?" Juan pouted and look at me
"Bukod sa nakikita mo na ang kagwapuhan ko, ayaw mo nako maging asawa" natawa naman ako bigla at hinampas siya sa balikat
"Aray naman ah!" Napakamot ito "eh kasi nasa hospital ngayon yung dating artist namin na hollywood naalala mo paba?" Isa lang naman ang naging artist nila na hollywood..wait "si saviel amarah" pagtutuloy niya
Parang biglang kumabog ng malakas ang dib dib ko sa kaba ng marinig ang pangalan na yon
Hospital? Si saviel?
I thought nasa ibang bansa siya, that's what the twin told me!
"Hospital? What is she doing there?" He smirk
"I knew it! Kilala mo talaga siya, matagal na kong naghihinala sainyong dalawa ah lily, tell me—"
"Wala nakong oras magpaliwanag sayo juan! Nasa hospital siya, now tell me where can i find her?!" Iritadong asik ko habang hinabol ang leather jacket ko sa kwarto dahil nakasando lang ako
"I don't know!" He said growling
"Call her manager. NOW JUANCHO." Madiing utos ko at sinamaan siya ng tingin "text me the address after you call her!" Pahabol ko before i walked out
Tumakbo ako to grab nath's keys, thanked god iniwan niya ngayon ang sasakyan niya at napiling magmotor
Si nathalie lang ang nakakaalam ng buong pagkatao ko, sasabihin din naman namin kay juan but not now na madami pang nangyayari sa paligid
Thinking na may masamang mangyari kay sav, hindi ko alam kung mapapatawad ko ang sarili ko dahil once again, hinayaan ko nanaman siyang mapalayo. Hinayaan ko siya na iwan nanaman ako dapat sinabi ko na sakanya ng maaga ang lahat but after that night she choose to leave me
I maybe hate her a bit.. but i can't lie to the fact that i still trully fully love her genuinely
"Is there a patient here the last name is siy?" I asked the nurse lobby
"Wait a sec ma'am" tumango lang ako at di mapakaling nagpalibot libot ng tingin
"Relatives po ba kayo ma'am? niece?" The fuck do i look like the niece of that gorgeous lady?!
Should i slap her? Joke urg nakakainis naman kasi siya
"No, i'm her girlfriend." I said firmly, her eyes bulged halatang gulat na gulat ah, magulat talaga siya
"O-oh alright ma'am" she gave me an awkward smile "vip suite 207 po, fifth floor" she continue while analyzing me, para bang pinagaaralan niya ko ngayon
Di ko na ito pinansin at tumakbo nalang paakyat sa sinabi niyang suite, nakakainis dahil nadapa pako kakatakbo at kung sino sino pa ang nabunggo ko on the way, my feet is getting shaky dahil siguro sa kaba? Sa takot? My heartbeat can't stop at ayaw nitong kumalma
"Aray!" I screamed in pain dahil on the third time ay may nabunggo nanaman ako
"Aiz?!" My eyes turn to this woman na nakabunggo sakin, biglang rumihistro ang gulat sa mukha ko ng makilala kung sino siya hindi pala
Sila.
"What are you doing here?" Yes they know i'm somewhere alive tanging si sav lang ang walang alam dahil ayon ang hiningi kong kapalit for me to forget what they did that night.. the night ng binalak nilang paalisin ako ng bansa for me to secure my safety but it turns out trouble
Pero sa lahat ng nangyari, hindi ko sila sinisi maybe I'm destined to be in that situation.. always in trouble
"I'm sorry dash pero nagmamadali ako" mabilis na sabi ko at umayos ng tayo para lagpasan sila hindi ko tinapunan ng tingin ang pinsan ko, because until she don't want me na pumaligid sa mga siy, pero hindi ko kaya. Hindi kona kaya pa
"Aizlyn!" Pahabol pa niya pero tuloy tuloy nako tumakbo patungo sa room na sinabi ng nurse kanina
Hinihingal na kumatok ako ng mahina pero walang sumasagot, napahawak ako sa pisngi ko ng maramdaman ko ang butil na tumulo ron
"S-sav—" napaatras ako at bahagyang napalaki ang mata ng makita ang nakahiga sa suite na yon
"Hi." He said while waving his hand on me "I did not expect you here ihja" he said smiling
He looks friendly now, hindi na siya yung lalaking nakikita ko noon na seryoso at nakapoker face lang, he's still looks young and handsome
"H-hello po" nahihiyang sabi ko at napamura nalang sa loob loob ko dahil sa katangahang nagawa ko "k-kamusta po?" Parang tangang sabi ko
Nakakahiya! Wala man lang akong dala kaya pala nandito siya ngayon sa hospital, hindi ko man lang itinanong kay juancho kung anong sadya ng babaeng yon at naparito siya
"Maupo ka ihja, bakit nakatayo ka diyan?" Nakangiting sabi niya, nakakapanibago. Sobrang bait ata niya ngayon? Sabagay ilang taon na rin bago ko siya nakita ulit, buti at naalala niya pako? "Baka pagalitan ako ng anak ko pag nalaman niyang dumalaw ka sakin at pinapatayo lang kita diyan" biro pa niya
Hindi ako nakapagsalita, yun ay kung alam niyang narito ako
"Pasensya na po kayo, wala man lang akong kadala dala para sainyo" nahihiyang usal ko sa sandaling katahimikan, ngumiti lang siya at matagal na tumitig sakin at mahinang tumawa magsasalita pa sana siya ng biglang may pumasok sa pintuan at parehong doon natuon ang atensyon namin
"Dad? Who are you with?" That voice, god i miss her
Kalma aiz, umalis nanaman siya. Dapat galit ka wag kang nagpapadala diyan sa mapupusok na tingin na yan, madami siyang naloloko dahil sa mga mata niyang abo na hindi mo malaman kung inosente ba o sadyang walang malay ka lang na inaakit
Calm down, you got it. She's okay you see. magpaalam ka lang sa tatay niya, and you better leave, resist her.
"A-aiz?" Gulat na baling niya sakin na ikinaiwas ko ng tingin, she looks fabulous with her new look, her ginger hair, i rarely see that hair style dahil bihirang tao lang ang nababagay sa mga ganyang kulay na buhok
But with her using it? God she looks expensive and gorgeous
"I-im actually here for my check up sir a-and i saw dash earlier she told me what happen so I thought to drop by" uutal utal kong sabi habang nakatingin sa daddy niya at ngumiti "i should go, m-magpagaling po kayo" mabilis na sabi ko at lumabas, yung mga mukha nila ay parang naguguluhan at nalilito na ewan
Darn sino ba kasing hindi? Eh hindi ko naman close yung tatay niya ang sama pa nga ng tingin sakin the last time we met, it's so weird na pumunta dito at nirason na dumaan lang ako
What a lame excuse
I groaned
"Aizlyn wait! Check up? I thought you're already okay? Is everything alright with you?" Parang bumigat yung paghinga ko ng maramdaman ko ang paghawak niya sa braso ko, she followed me at ngayon hindi ko na alam ang mararamdaman ko sa sobrang lakas nanaman ng heartbeat ko
Pinilit kong maging normal before i turn to look at her, i smile and nod fainly "uhm yea, i'm fine just a little headache." I lied
"Headache? C'mon I'll call doctor Cross to check you up, sumama ka saki—"
"No, i'm fine really. You don't have to worry about me" labas sa ilong kong saad at tatalikuran na sana ulit siya ng bigla naman siyang pumunta sa harapan ko at tinitigan ako ng seryoso
"Be honest with me, ano ginagawa mo dito?" Nangaanalisa niyang tanong
"I-i told you already—"
"You can see me now, you see direct in my eyes that i don't take bullshit aizlyn." Nanunubok niyang sabi na ikinaiwas ko ng tingin "i know already, na naalala moko and na you never forget about me" she smiles softly
I scowl "ikaw lang naman kasi nagassume na may amnesia ako" parang batang bulong ko
"Cause you never told me, you called me miss siy, miss saviel and everyone called you by this name lily ano gusto mong isipin ko" she crossed her arms firmly at mataray akong pinagtaasan ng kilay
"You should've asked me!" Asik ko
"I'm asking you now" seryosong sabi niya at tinitigan ako sa mata "god even though i miss looking at those eyes i need to talk to you."
"You can look at them while talking to me" i bluntly utter na ikinatigil niya ikinaiwas ng tingin, i saw how her face flushed
"You flirt" she smirk "Let's talk."
