A Sudden Rivalry

Demtre Leighn Montano

"SHE IS under a lot of stress Dianne. You know that this is not good for her."

I heard my tita Riley, a psychologist and the wife of my father's eldest brother, said. Kakagising ko lang and I found out that I am in a hospital. Muntikan ko ng makalimutan kung paano ako napunta dito. Itatanong ko sana kung nasaan si Alec kaso baka magalit sina Daddy kaya hindi na lang ako nagsalita. And now, they are currently talking about my condition.

"yes she is cured and treated, but we all know that the possibility of it coming back is high. Especially now that something is triggering it." Sagot naman ng tito Oleander ko, yung kapatid ni Daddy na isang Endocrinologist.

"hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko sa totoo lang kuya. Ayoko namang nakawin kay Leighn yung kasiyahan niya. Lalo pa ngayon at malapit na siyang makatapos." My father helplessly answered.

I've been pretending to be asleep ever since I woke up. Nadinig ko kasi sila na naguusap about sa condition ko kaya kahit mali, I know I had to hear it. Because knowing my parents, they will do anything to keep me out of harm. Buti na lang din at nakatuon ang atensyon nila kayna tita kaya di nila ako napapansin.

"she's taking her medication on time, right?" tanong ni Tito, tumango naman agad sina mommy. "as long as she's taking her medicine regularly, and she's taking care of herself, she's okay."

Nakahinga naman ng maluwag ang pamilya ko. Pero hindi rin iyon nagtagal.

"but..." singit ni tita, "she really needs to stay away from stress. Hindi natin alam kung ilang panic attacks ang kayang i-endure ng brain niya. Her mental health is also as important as her medications. Hangga't hindi stable ang mental health niya, matritrigger non ang thyroid niya. "

"is she gonna be okay tita? " dinig kong tanong ni Kuya Xandre

"for now, she's okay. Pero hindi natin alam sa mga susunod na araw kung ganoon din. I don't want to sugarcoat my words dahil alam nating lahat kung gaano dapat ingatan si Leighn." Tita Riley answered.

"Eh paano ang sa pagaaral niya tita? Okay lang ba if magpatuloy siya?" tanong naman ni Kuya Vandre

I heard tita Riley sighed heavily before speaking, "she seems okay naman dati kahit pa madami siyang mga activities sa school. Maybe because she really loves what she's doing. But now that her mental and emotional status is in haywire, we must keep an eye on her. But not to the point na ikukulong niyo siya sa bahay or pagbabawalan sa maraming bagay. Just always remind her to keep far away as possible from stress. That's all we can do, because over protectiveness might be a trigger as well."
