"Colleen POV"
That undescribable feelings that I don't want to feel because it's scary thing to do so. Dahan dahan akong umalis sa yakap at tinignan si Levi.
"What States?"
"Hindi ba at nag ibang bansa ka? And there is so many things that happened." Yumuko siya na parang maiiyak.
"Levi many things really happened and I am back here so---"
"Where is Hannah? I wanna clear things between us so I can face you Colleen."
Naningkit ang mga mata ko habang pinagmamasdan siya. What? Hannah? Clear what?
"Levi... What do you mean?"
"When you are gone, Hannah is there and ahm can you just give me a time so that I can fix my mistakes? I promise that it will be in short time." Mabilis kong hinawakan ang magkabilang balikat niya.
"Levi pull yourself together! Hannah di*d a long time ago! What are you talking about?"
Nakita ko ang pagtataka sa itsura niya.
"What? I just saw her yesterday. Colleen are you alright? It's wrong to say Hannah is gone. Don't be like that Jash." Hinaplos niya ang pisnge ko. I gulp.
This is unbelievable.
"Ahm, Levi you should get rest first." ngumiti lang siya, iniwan ko na siya at nagpunta sa doctor's office. May tinawag na rin akong nurse para tignan siya.
Matapos kong puntahan at kausapin ang Doctor, napahilot ako sa sintido ko,
"Ha, Dementia he says?" Mariin akong napakapit sa wall.
"People who have dementia,Their personality may change; for example, they may become uncharacteristically irritable, anxious, agitated, and/or inflexible. I can't believe Levi is experiencing it."
"Oh I see, dementia possibly occured through depression and dellerium. But Levi is not that old for pete sake why is he having this?"
"But that doctor is not yet sure, he said he need to make a test. Poor Levi," I sigh and walang ganang naglakad pabalik ng room ni Levi.
Naka upo ito sa wheel chair at nakangiting hinarap ako.
"Levi? Bakit ka nakaupo? Stay at your bed right now!"
Pinigil niya ako at hinawakan ang kamay ko.
"Levi..."
"Colleen, sinabi ng mga nurse sa akin. I might have temporary memory loss, I lost important memories. Can you stay at my side for now? Can you tell me what happened in those years?"
I bit my lower lip. Naaawa ako kay Levi. He's been through so much!
Madali akong tumango at pinahid ang luha sa mga mata ko. Habang tinutulak ko ang wheelchair niya kinukwento ko ang mga nangyare this past few years.
"So I have married her and have kids also. I can't believe it, I'm so unfaithful to you. I.. I don't deserve you now and my chest is about to burst in pain." But he manage to smile. I bit my lower lip preventing my self from crying.
"Daddy! You're awake na po!" Nilingon namin si Angel na patakbong pumunta sa gawi namin.
"Colleen..." Kasama nito si Ruth at Elyza.
