Fated Stars

THIRTY-ONE

The memories that I have been longing all this time came to me because of that one night. The feeling of pain and relief is mix inside of me now.

"I'm sorry. Please wake up already"

I felt a hand tightly holding mine. I hear some noise around me. I slowly opened my eyes and immediately saw a white ceiling.

I look at the person beside me first. He's there, tightly holding my hand. And the girl behind him looks worried.

"Oh my god! I'll call the doctor!"si tita nang makitang gising na ako

Binalik ko ang tingin sa tatlong tao na naiwan sa loob. Dustin. Axel. And Charmaine. The people that was in my memory. The people from my past.

Dahan-dahan kong binitawan ang kamay ni Axel na nakahawak sa akin ngayon. Inangat ko ang sarili ko at sinbukang umupo. Agad naman dumalo si Dustin para tulungan ako.

Bumalik si tita ngayon at kasama niya ang isang doctor at mga nurses. I know that doctor. Duchess.

Lumapit siya sa banda ko. Sinipat niya si Dustin ngayon sa tabi ko. At ngayon ay siya naman ang pumwesto sa pwesto ni Dustin kanina.

"I'll check on you. I'm sorry, I know you're very particular but my mom is not here at this moment"

Tumango ako sa sinabi niya. I let her check me. Anak siya ni Lexie. Bata siya ng limang taon lang sa akin. Like her mother, she's also a doctor.

When she's done checking on me, she just reminded me of a few things. Before she left, I saw how he eyes Dustin for a moment and then left the room.

"Xia, how are you feeling now?"tanong ni tita

Wala akong sinagot sa kaniya. I don't know. I don't know what I'm feeling at this moment. Confused? In pain? Relieved?

"I'll just call your dad and kuya"paalam niya

Naiwan na naman kaming apat sa loob. Tinignan ko si Charmaine ngayon na nag-aalala pa ding nakatingin sa akin.

"Xia, you---"

"How long have I been asleep?"

Hindi ko na pinatuloy si Dustin sa sasabihin niya ngayon. I don't want to hear him now. Sa nagdadalaawang-isip na expresyon ay sumagot si Charmaine.

"A month"saad niya

Napabuntong-hininga ako dahil doon. I'm sure my work has been taken care off. Tita knows about my situation but I didn't told her about my recent flashback of memories then. Wala naman akong sinabihan. Maliban kay Freya at Lexie.

Pabalik-balik ang tingin ko kay Axel at Charmaine ngayon. In my memories, the last time I saw Charmaine was at school and we were still fighting then and Axel...was when he broke up with me.

Sa pagkakaalala ko wala akong galit na naramdaman para sa kaniya nung hiniwalayan niya ako. Hindi din ako galit sa kaniya ngayon pero pakiramdam ko ayaw ko muna siyang makita.

"Lumabas muna kayo. Gusto kong mapag-isa. "sabi ko sa kanila

Dustin was about to protest but when he saw how I glared at him, he had no choice but to leave the room. Dustin, how could you do this to me?

Habang nasa gitna ako ng pag-iisip ay biglang kumalabog ang pintuan ng kwarto ko. There I saw my kuya, still panting and sweating, probably because he ran his way here when he found out that I'm already awake.

"Xyron!"her girlfriend called her from behind

Agad niyang tinakbo ang distansya ng pintuan na kinaroroonan niya at ang kama kung nasaan ako. Naramdaman ko agad ang yakao niya nang makarating siya kung nasaan ako.
