Howling Your Name

Chapter 17

A wide ceiling with an unfamiliar chandelier caught my eyes as soon as I open my eyes! I'm not in my room. Where am I? I glanced at my right hand the moment I felt the stings coming from it. My eyes got widened with a syringe inserted into them.

I'm in the hospital.

I blink my eyes twice to check if I'm really in the hospital. Napabangon ako ng makumpirmang nasa hospital nga ako. As I noticed I'm wearing a pink hospital gown.

What happened to me?

I look confused over to my whole existence.

My face lift as I was busy checking myself and look directly at this room's door when it opens. Agad akong napaiwas ng tingin nang magtama ang mata namin.

The guy in a gray t-shirt, black pants while his very known black messenger sling bag to me is hanging freely in his wide shoulder, physically fit body along with a brown paper bag on his left hand entered the room as if nothing happened between us. He smiled at me the moment he removed his mask. My face made a blush out of a sudden. At muling tumingin sa pintuan as if he is waiting for someone to come out.

"How's your feeling? Do you feel better now? Dalawang araw kang walang malay. We had to bring you here as you were hysterically calling out your mom's name due to your high fever," He stated with a worried look.

Napayuko ako at hindi natagalan ang mga tingin niya.

I still feel guilty about what I did to him. And now he's acting as if I didn't make something horrible to him. Which is ang sigawan sya at ipagtulakang umalis sa bahay.

Why Senrid?

"W-where's Molly?" My voice stammered asking him a question. He grabs a chair at umupo sa tabi nitong kama. Gaya nung mga napapanuod ko sa palabas. He gently gazes at me.

"Kauuwi lang nya. Don't worry, she didn't ask me to be here. I volunteered!" He said with a smile.

His soft gaze lingered on my face for quite some time that makes me feel embarrassed in front of him.

I took a deep breath at humiga ulit, inalalayan nya pa ako.

"L-look. I-Im sorry!" I uttered those words as soon I find myself comfortable lying on the bed. And looked away.

He chuckled.

Awkward namin nito. Bakit ba sya nandito? Kaya ko naman mag-isa.

"Past is past. Wala na yun sakin!" Sambit niya. Napangiti ako. "Agad agad? Hindi ka magagalit or what? Napahiya kita sa harapan ng kaklase ni Molly!" Takha kong tanong sa kanya.

"Pahiya? Maliah, what you've done is normal. I would act the same way if I'm in your shoe. Atsaka sanay na ako kay Seth kaya hindi na bago yun," Paliwanag niya.

I noticed how different he is today. Some of the hair strand blocking his forehead makes him more handsome. Well, it's his usual hairstyle but he looks so damn attractive today. Or maybe because I missed seeing him being with my side. Dagdagan mo pa ang mga ngiti nyang nakakahumaling titigan.

"Still, I'm sorry!" Yumuko ako. "Nakakausap mo ba si Sofi?" I asked.

Dahan dahan siyang tumango bilang tugon. I sighed with relief cause I thought he'll lying to me.

"But she didn't mention anything about you." Napabuntong hininga muli ako.

The sunbeam is now freely showing through this room's transparent window! Tumayo si Senrid T inayos ang kurtina para takpan ito.

"About sa groupings kay Ma'am Bulawan. We get you!" Bumalik sa alaala ko ang sinabi niya at napatango. So, kagrupo ko na naman sya.

"Thank you,"
