Chapter 42

Mooze is still unconscious from the accident. After I fainted, I was admitted to an exclusive room with him. Dalawa ang kama at may isang metrong pagitan. Pero lagi akong tumatabi sa kan'ya dahil maluwag naman. Hindi naman seryoso ang mga natamo n'yang injuries kaya hindi nakakatakot na tabihan siya.

I sighed while trying to clear my mind. I was so preoccupied earlier thinking about everything that just happened. I was so scared, I thought I was going to lose him. Hinding-hindi ko matatanggap kung mangyayari 'yon.

He's the most important thing in my life now. He has poured everything for me.

Naka-admit na rin si Tiago sa kabilang kwarto. Unlike Mooze, he's already conscious. Nakabisita pa nga rito kaninang umaga. Sa pwesto kasi ni Mooze dumiretso ang sasakyan kaya siya ang nakatamo ng mas malalang kondisyon.

"Don't stress yourself out, Norwyn. I will just go outside, alright?" Malambing na hinaplos ni Tita Mavie ang aking ulo bago ito lumabas ng kwarto. Kanina niya pa 'ko kasama. She had seen me cry so many times already.

Maraming tao kanina rito. His dad visited, too. Dumalaw rin ang mga lolo niya at ilan pang pinsan. I felt so ashamed when they were so worried about what happened to Tiago and Mooze. Akala ko kasi ay kasalanan ko, na baka utos ni Senyor, pero hindi pala ayon sa imbestigasyon. They know the driver of the BMW. It's one of Kesian's friends.

Ngayon ay kami na lang ni Mooze ang naiwan sa silid. Malapit na rin kasing mag madaling araw kaya naman umuwi na ang mga narito kanina. Hindi lang talaga ako makatulog dahil na rin sa sinabi ng doktor sa akin. Hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Mooze habang tulog pa 'to. Nakaupo ako sa isang single coach, sa tabi ng kan'yang higaan.

Nangingilid na ang mga luha ko. There are so many emotions playing in my heart right now. At sa tingin ko kakalma lang ako kapag gising na siya. That will surely give serenity to my chaotic mind right now.

"Mooze, open your eyes now, please?" Nanginig ang aking boses. "It's been two days," I whispered while caressing his hand.

Bumuntong hininga ako at pinalis ang mga luhang bumababa. I crouched a bit to rub his cheek. Ang isang kamay ko ay hawak pa rin ang kamay n'ya para maramdaman n'yang nandito lang ako.

Tuloy-tuloy na ang pagbagsak ng mga luha ko nang matanto kung gaano siya kahalaga sa buhay ko.

From the moment we first met, he's already nice to me. He was like a brat before, but overall, he was so nice to me. Napangiti ako nang maalala kung paano kami nagpakilala sa isa't isa. That was one of the memorable moments of my life: When I met him. I don't think I will ever forget it.

I was sobbing when I hugged him. I rested my head softly on his stomach. Nakaharap ako sa kan'ya habang nanlalabo ang mga mata. Even though my tears were blocking my clear view of him, I still could say how flawlessly handsome he is.

Everything was flashing back in my head. Both happy and devastating situations we've been through. At lahat ng 'yon ay mahalaga sa akin. Lahat ng pinagdaanan namin. Because I know those are the reasons why we ended up together, and why we became the version of ourselves now.

"Mooze, thank you..." Narinig ko ang sarili kong paghikbi. "You accepted me doubtlessly. You protected me although we both know how dangerous it was..."
