We Found Love (Short Story)

"Miss Sapphire, what are your plans for today?"

My Psychiatrist asked me. It's been 1 week.

"None"

I looked at the wall with no expression written on my face.

She continued talking but I didn't listen.

There's no more hope for me.

It's getting worse.

No matter how hard I try to make myself better. But it seems like I will never see the sunset again.

I stood up and walked to the garden. The Psychiatrist called me but didn't even stop me. Seems like she's getting tired of me too.

I walked through the grass with my bare feet feeling it and inhaling the air.

I followed the butterflies while touching the bushes.

Ang sarap mabuhay kung wala kang problema. Pero pinagsukluban ako ng langit ng lupa.

"Hi"

A familiar voice called me.

The one following me one week ago.

Pero hindi ko siya pinansin. He's following me again. But there's this feeling that I like the way he follows me around.

Not the same as last week. Maybe because I'm too broken right now that I want to feel loved and cared for.

"Gusto mo kumain?"

He asked me. He's asking me like I am the most fragile girl in the world.

I didn't even realize that I said yes.

He grabbed my hand carefully afraid that I'll panic and smiled at me.

I was just following him pero palabas na kami ng hospital kaya tumigil ako sa paglalakad.

"Wait. Bawal tayo lumabas"

I stopped. But he smiled at me.

"Ako bahala. Ako pa"

I don't care anymore. Wala naman ng silbi ang buhay ko. Sumunod nalang ako sakanya.

I hesitated a bit when he told me to get in the car. But he smiled at me.

My heart and mind was telling me to trust him. Go with him. Eat with him.

All the positive thoughts.

So I did.
