XYREE'S POV
it's been a few hours since matthew gave me a ride home hindi niya ako pinayagan na mag-drive mag-isa pauwi
naka-tulala lang ako sa kisame ng kwarto ko habang nagfa-flashback sa utak ko 'yung nakita ko kanina
flashback
out of curiosity i opened the window 'di ko ine-expect na si gavin yung makikita ko sa loob
kitang kita ko kung pa'no sila mag-make out
at hindi ako pwedeng magka-mali i saw him looking at me habang hinahalikan niya 'yung babaeng kasama niya kanina
the next thing i knew hatak-hatak na'ko ni matthew papuntang parking lot
end of flashback
is this his way to get rid of me? it doesn't have to be this painful
i placed my hand on my chest and start massaging it because it hurts like hell
tears started to fall on my eyes
sabi ko naman sa'yo gavin 2 days lang, 2 days lang hini-hingi ko you said yes pumayag ka naman pero bakit ganto? maybe i'm a fool kase kahit anong taboy 'yung gawin mo sa'kin o kahit anong masa-sakit na salita pa matanggap ko galing sa'yo i still found myself coming back to you
i don't know why i'm like this, all i know is i love you since we were kids
i closed my eyes and fell asleep
THE NEXT DAY...
i woke up with a headache
"anak? aren't you going to school? it's late" my mom said outside of my door
"i think hindi na muna ma ang sakit ng ulo ko i'll skip class" i said
"what? i'm coming in" she said
narinig kong bumukas ang pintuan
"what's wrong honey?" she asked
"masakit lang po 'yung ulo ko" i replied
she touched my forehead and my neck
"you have fever!" she yelled
"hush mom you don't have to shout" i said
"tigilan mo'ko xyree ah! ikaw na bata ka may sakit ka pala 'di ka nag-sasabi sa'min ng papa mo! what if lumala 'yang lagnat mo ha?" she said
ang oa talaga nito ni mama
"'di ko din naman po alam, i just woke up" i replied
hindi niya ako pinansin at tinawag ang isa sa kasambahay namin
"aling rosa pakuha nga ho ng tubig at bimpo padamay nadin ng gamot" she said
"sige ho ma'am" nanay rosa replied
she's my nanny since i was a kid
"what's with the commotion?" my dad asked
"eh itong anak mong magaling may lagnat, hindi nag-sasabi" my mom said
lumapit naman sakin si papa at hinawakan ang leeg ko
"your fever is pretty high maybe it's better kung pa-confine ka namin atleast sa hospital mas matutu-tukan ka" my dad said
tamo 'tong si papa isa pang oa
"okay lang ako pa" i said
"if that's the case i'll just call our family doctor to check you" he said
"alright pa thanks" i said
he leaned on me and kissed my forehead
"get well soon anak mauuna na muna ako kailangan na'ko sa company hon sumunod kana lang ha?" he said
"yeah, asikasuhin ko muna si xyree" my mom replied
they kissed before my dad left
pagkadating ni nanay rosa agad akong pinunasan ni mama at iniwan ang bimpo sa noo ko pagkatapos nito ay tumayo siya at lumabas ng kwarto ko may tatawagan lang daw siya
ilang minuto ang naka-lipas ay bumalik si mama sa kwarto ko
"matthew is on his wa-" i cut her words
"what? matthew? ma naman ba't mo pa inabala si matthew? may klase din 'yon eh" i said
"he's the one who volunteered to take care of you besides walang ibang mag-aalaga sa'yo, may pupuntahan si nany rosa 'yung ibang kasambahay naman natin day off" she said
i sighed
"fine" i replied
dumating 'yung family doctor namin halos mag-kasabay lang sila ni matthew
Dr.Frio did a few test on me, he checked my vital signs and everything
"you just need to rest and take your meds, you need someone to watch over you because you need to drink your meds on time" Dr.Frio said
"yes doc thank you" i said
ini-hatid siya ni mama sa labas at nag-paalam na din si mama na susunod na kay papa sa company
"ano ba kasing ginawa mo at nagka-lagnat ka?" matthew asked
"wala, pagkatapos mo akong ihatid kahapon i cried and fell asleep then i woke up with a headache at ang bigat din nang pakiramdam ko" i said
"tsk magpahinga kana lang jan" he said
is he mad or sumn? but why? diko naman kasalanan na nagka-sakit ako i stared at his face tinitigan niya din ako
i smiled at him and closed my eyes
i feel safe and secure now that i know that he's here he gave off that kind of feeling whenever i'm with him.
