CHAPTER 24
New.
I felt the dark sensation in my environment. I woke up sweating bullets and my heart is racing fast to the point that I am breathing hard.
"Shit." I murmured while catching my breath.
Walang ilaw sa buong condo unit ko. Walang akong makita kahit konting liwanag.
Here it goes again. My nyctophobia is visiting me again.
I tried to switch on my side lamp, ngunit hindi umiilaw. My hands trembled and I kept on massaging my chest to relieve the pain I'm feeling right now and to ease my nervousness.
My tears fell and I have nothing to do with this.
My chest pain is getting higher and higher. So I even drum my chest hardly just to get back to its normal breathing. I even cried hard and scream hard because of chest pain and the nervousness that I'm feeling right now.
Kinapa ko ang aking gamot sa side table. My things are all mess kasi hindi ko na makontrol ang panginginig ng aking mga kamay. When I saw the white plastic bottle, I immediately open it and took 2 tablets.
It's for the chest pain, just to alleviate the pain that I'm feeling right now.
It takes minutes before the lights were back. And also it take minutes before my breathing normalize and my chest pain is now decreasing. I breath hardly enough to feel the oxygen in my body.
It's already 2am here, and my sleep were disturbed. Kailangan ko nang lumipat ng ibang condo kasi sa condong ito laging may scheduled power interruption. Walang notice man lang na magkaka power interruption.
I wiped my tears and find my cellphone in my drawer. I dialed Nelly's number, and it took minutes before Nelly picked it up.
"Hey-"
"Nelly.. Nagkapower interruption..ba?" I catch my breath while saying my words to Nelly,
"Ha?! Teka, hindi ko namalayan. Tulog ako. Teka pupunta ako riyan."
Nelly called off the line and immediately ring my doorbell. Hindi na ako bumangon dahil alam na niya ang paswword ng aking unit. Bumukas ang pinto ng aking kwarto at bumungad ang naka pajamang si Nelly.
Nelly saw my state and she hurriedly hugged me.
"Sorry, neng. Hindi ko namalayang nagbrown out. Okay ka lang?" She checked my whole face, tumango ako at ngumiti ng mahina.
Nelly let go a heavy sigh, "Doon ka na lang muna matulog sa unit ko," nag-aalalang sabi ni Nelly.
