"your condition is getting better, just continue your check up and take your medecine on time and i'll assure you everything will fine iha" the doctor says na mabilis kong ikinatango at ngumiti
"may balita na po'ba sa heart transplant donor ng anak ko doc?" mom asked
"thats what i was about to tell you misis, may mga nalikom ng donor but they're not suitable para sa kondisyon ng anak niyo. we still have to make sure na kakayanin niya dahil this situation is 50/50 percent ang chance na maging successful ang operation for her heart transplant"
my mom sighed as she heard of it, bigla rin akong nalungkot ng malaman ang balita i thought this will be my chance for my recovery, there's this thing na may bumabagabag din sakin but i don't know maybe things will get better as soon as possible
...
"oh bakit ang tahimik mo?" my mom asked while we're eating our dinner
i smile plainly "do you think we'll find ael before i die?" i joked
tumikhim siya at tumingin ng seryoso sakin "don't say that again elara please" ngumiti nalang ako ng pilit "you heard earlier you're getting better sweetheart there's nothing to worry about, ael will be back soon.. i'm sure she will" you don't know what you're saying mom.. you don't know anything
everything is already getting better around me, even the girl i like.. i kept her. if my sister will be back i'll make sure she won't get sapphire back in her life after what she did i hate her for that.. but there's a side of me that i want her to be back now i want to see her. i want her here beside with our mother i can't leave knowing my mom will be left alone..
...
"What are you doing there? bakit hindi ka pumasok?" sapphire bulged in beside me while i'm sitting on their bench
i shrugged, nung malaman ko kasi na nakauwi na siya ay mabilis akong pumunta sa bahay niya. yes she has her own house already hindi gaano kalaki sa mansion nila but it has enough space and so stylish it has a minimal style nakakarelax dahil nakapaligid eto sa garden at ang laki rin ng backyard niya presko at nakakarelax
at ng maabutan ko ang sasakyan ng mommy niya sa labas kanina ay pinili ko munang dumiretso sa likod ng bahay niya at doon tumambay hanggang ngayon kasi ay hindi parin magkaayos ang pamilya namin, tita van changed a lot hindi na siya yung dating naging kaibigan ni mommy na parang second mom na rin namin
their friendship ended at ang sabi sakin ni mommy dahil yon sa di pagkakaunawaan nila when dad said something to tita van and sapp ang hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit pati ang friendship nila ni mommy ay nasira dahil don yan tuloy ay palagi nalang akong pinapasukan ng takot na humarap sakanya whenever she's around para bang nahihiya nakong humarap o kausapin man lang siya
"hey sapp" i hugged her dahil matagal tagal rin kaming hindi nagkita "i miss you!" i squeled
"i miss you too my eli" she chuckled and led me to sit down "so tell me you didn't missed it right?" she asked with a serious tone
i shook my head "no of course not i came yesterday with mom.. what is that?" i asked when i notice she's hiding something on her palm
she smirk "this? this is for you! i missed your birthday sooo" she handed me a small box "happy birthday" she says that made me smile
"thank you" sabi ko rito at binigyan siya ng malawak na ngiti pero nawala ang ngiti ko ng mapansin ang unti unti pagbaba ng mga mata niya "bakit?" tanong ko
she shook her head "how's your heart?" she asked and caress my arm
"its healthy i won't die sappy--"
"shut up, of course you wont" she glares at me so i chuckled "you told me before you want to do a fashion show right?" she asked
i nodded "siyempre its one of my dream" i says at umupo na
"i want you to wear my coron coated i make this december" sabi neto at may kinuha na card sa gilid niya at inabot sakin
"coron coated?" i ask
"yes thats what i make for winter at ikaw ang unang magkakaron non, i make that especially for you el" she said that makes my heart melt
pero nanlaki ang mata ko when i remember its a december national fashion show na kauna unahang gaganapin dito sa pinas, y'al don't know how her company is so huge now at puro international models ang kasama niya rito even gigi hadid and others famous models ay nagkakainteres na suotin ang safira clothing line at makarampa sa isa sa fashion show ng mga ito she called her clothes safira i don't know why tho. god this is a huge suprise for me
i look at her slowly at nakataas lang ang kilay neto halatang nagaantay ng sagot "no one dares to declines me, even you elara you're my best friend" i sighed
"but sapp i'm not suitable for this" i says and rolled my eyes at binigay sakanya pabalik "as long its tempting me to do it, hindi ako babagay diyan para mo naman akong sinabak magkaliskis ng isda ng never pako nagtrabaho sa palengke" napakagat ako sa pisngi ko when her face turned into red at nanlalaki ang matang sinamaan ako ng tingin
"elara! how dare you compare me to a kaliskis ng isda--" her face darken and was about to shout louder ng tumawa ako ng malakas
"hey its a great job don't see it as low" i fight back with a smirk
"still! do i look like that?!" napailing ito at nagulat ako ng bigla siyang tumayo
"sapp wait!" i says pero dahil hindi parin siya lumingon at bubuksan na sana ang glass door ng may sabihin ako na kinatigil niya "fine i'll do it." i say in a low voice
napabitaw ang hawak niya sa glass door at dahan dahang tumingin sakin "i knew you can't resist me" she smiles and i swear she's so beautiful "it will happen in amanpulo where my island is i'll leave next week kailangan kong mauna don for preparation, don't ditch me el" she pouts and kiss me on the cheek before guiding me papasok sa crib niya
