The Great Pretender

Chapter 7: The Dream

"Huy Clark! Ano na plano mo? Bukas na bukas may pasok tayo sa acad. tas pupunta yung iba sa campo" Kenneth.

"Well let's just say his dying" Sam looked at me "But yeah ano plano mo, punta nalang tayo sa hospital?"

I give them glare, "Seriously! I can't think!! Tas isa pa alam n'yong ayoko sa hospital magkamatayan man" suplado Kung saad sakanila.

Si Rexier kakapasok lang sa bahay pagkatapos pina uwi taohan n'ya, then suddenly nakita nya akong pawis na pawis sa gilid. "Gago! Ano nangyare sa tanginang to?" Rexier.

Both of them turned the look on me but they just like 'okay? What now'

"Ano? Mamamatay na to mauubosan nato ng dugo dito"Rexier's terrified voice didn't get Sam and Kenneth's concern.

"Dalhin kita sa hospital... tangina mo! Lucas tulongan moko!" Rexier.

"Walang pupunta sa hospital! Walang pupuntang doctor. Dito lang ako"

"Tsh. That's what we thought" Kenneth.

"Let Ezekiel see that bloody shit on you and he'll be traumatised... you choose, go to the hospital or show yourself off and hurt your lil brother's feelings" Lucas.

'Lucas was right. What if Ezekiel saw me bleeding?'

"We know you're not scared of dying cause you know you're ready, but think about everyone around you. Wag kang manhid" Lucas added, he picked up his phone "ano tatawag ba tayo ambulance oh tayo mismo pupunta dun?" Lucas calmed me after he told me those words.

"We drive... I don't want to hear any noise or siren" I dryly told them those words.

Soon we arrived at the hospital. Everyone was shocked after what they see, feel ko tuloy ako yung kauna-unahang pasyente na confident lumakad papasok sa hospital na wlang alalay, but still my three friends we're at my back to help when I can't make it further.

The guards were opening the doors an the nurse immediately approach me with a wheel chair. "Sir kindly sit down here please" Sabi ng nurse.

Actually wala talaga akong plano umopo sa wheel chair na yun, when i look back I can see them giving me glare if don't obey. Kenneth was interviewed by the other nurse what happened why did I have such that too much bleeding.

And while we're going to the ER I heard him say ' napa putukan ng baril dun sa iskinita habang naglalakad kaming lima bibili sana ng pagkain' I looked back and he winked.

'Tsk. Kenneth Oxford, you surely is good at words and covers'

Minutes came the operation was on and they just inject me to calm me down I feel sleepy when I closed my eyes. Instead of waking I suddenly dreamed about someone.

"Clark!" May narinig akong babae na sumigaw nun. Parang pamilyar sakin ang boses na yun.

When she showed up it's Liit, she smiled at me sweetly but I can't see her clearly something's bothering me when I'm looking at her face. And slowly she's fading away.

"I'm around you... hope you didn't forget me" I can hear her fading voice in my dream.

"How can I forget you?! You've mean everything to me!" All the sudden I can feel my face with tears, I wanna scream but when I tried to I just woke up in reality.

I wondered no one noticed my tears so immediately wipe it with a blanket, when I tried to get the fuck up my right side hurts, and I can see the three idiots in front at me talking with the doctor.

I forced myself to sit down and caught Lucas's attention, he came near me. "So how do you feel?" He asked.

"I can't feel my lower parts" i replied.

The doctor excused himself ang Sam and Rexier sit down. "If you're gonna ask, Kenneth just got home, hinanap kasi ng mom nya" Sam.

"I dreamed about her" I coldly told them those things.

"We know you fucker. You're about 30 minutes screaming why, liit, stay, and you just can't help yourself move" Lucas sighs.

"By the way di na natin kailangan pumunta sa Campo bukas. Kung pwede daw puntahan ka ni Capitan dito"Sam.

"This is you're second attempt, first gulo din sinanto mo, tas napa clinic ka tas ngayon hospital bagsak mo" Rexier.

"Oh tas sa susunod reunion tayo sa St. Peter's, tang'na n'yo" biro ko sakanila

Gusto kung hubarin 'tong damit pang pasyente. I would please for their assistance but I want to do it myself. Hinubad ko naman pero nanginginig ako sa sakit, everyone's busy doing nothing like the fuck Im so hungry now.

"Rex... bud, bili kayo pagkain sa labas gutom na ako"

"Samahan kita Rex. Gutom na rin kasi ako Sam dito ka nalang bantayan mo tung sira ulong to"Lucas.

Umalis na rin yung dalawa para bumili ng pagkain, si Sam nalang yung naiwan sa Room ko both of us look from each other and starting to smile, i know something will happen but yeah I'm gonna enjoy this.

Pinilit akong tumayo sa higaan ko at inalalayan ako ni sam"So what's your dream then?" Sam asked "Tell me did she told you her name again? Did you see some clues?" Sam.

"Like what?"

"Like... her eyes or nose something like that"Sam.

"I'm not so sure but I only see her smi-"

Our chitchat was interrupted when my phone rang, I bet it's not kuya Ace this time when I looked at my phone it's an unknown number, sinagot ko naman yung tawag baka importante.

"Hello?" The unknown caller said, I don't think if I recognise the voice but it's like an angel's voice.

"Hello? Kukunin n'yo naba ako sa langit?" Sagot ko naman.

"Anong langit pinag sasabi mo jan? Si Alexandra to... balita ko nasa hospital ka ngayon"

"Ampota ikaw pala yan! Oo bakit bibisitahin moko?"

"Wag na baka mamatay ka sa takot pag nakita mo ako, by the way... palakas ka wag ka a-absent bukas may ipapa kita ako sayo" her voice tone changed to shy type I dunno but I like it, sarap pakinggan.

She hang the call and I put my phone at the table, I smiled and I cannot explain my feelings tumalon ako at napahiga sa kama ko.

"Pota! masakit pa pala ang katawan ko bat ko yun nakalimutan" I groaned but I smiled again.

"If im not mistaken it's Buenaventura, right?" Sam.

"Yeah, why does she seems so perfect from her voice and vibes?"

"Because you're Inlove" Sam.

"But really? Who told them that I'm in the hospital" I smirked at Sam.

"Abat di ko kasalanang Nag announcement si maam ng activity tas yung pair mo mention ng mention sayo sa Group chat" sam shrug's

"Di mo naman sinabi sa Gc diba?" My eyes gotten big. What if he told everyone about this?

"Di naman. Alam kung malalaman ng lahat kung ano ginawa natin, at isa iilan lang nakaka alam na undercover tayo" Sam.

I sighs after he confirmed me those words.

'Mabuti naman at gumana pa utak nito' sabi ko naman sa sarili ko.

I can't just believe myself having such dreams behind my condition. Maybe she's concerned about me? But how should she know that? I don't have any clue where is she then, tas sa haba-haba ng panahon nakalimutan ko na pangalan nya, all I can remember is her nickname.
