His Island

Kaila's POV

Kaila's POV

While Lyle is inside, we're just waiting for her to finish. I'm seating beside Nami and on my left is a man I'm not familiar with. I heard him earlier that he's a friend of Lyle's but I'm with her for a long time since we were young but this is the first time a met this guy.

 What did I miss Cous? 

I glance at him secretly. His back is laying at the backrest and he's deeply thinking of something based on his expression but it doesn't affect her aura. He looks soft and good-looking. He resembles Lyle's boyfriend. Is this man his cousin? I don't have an idea but at least he's here. Speaking of...

Lyle's boyfriend wasn't here but he was supposed to be here for her. I heard he didn't visit my cousin not even once and this man took his position. Why is that? Did they have a fight?  Wrong timing. Even though no matter how mad he is, Lyle needs support. He should be here. He's the boyfriend not this man beside me.

I sighed. It's their business, not mine. I shouldn't meddle with it. I'm startled because of Nami's phone. Someone is calling. I look at her and she excused herself.

"Tita. Kai. Sagutin ko lang." itinaas nya ang cellphone at tumango ako. She took her bag and run. 

Tita Carla was praying silently. I don't know what to do so i took my phone to entertain myself while waiting. I browse my feed and check some messages about school.

"Kaila Therese." Kunot ang noo kong bumaling sa katabi. 

He's looking at me. "Your name. Sorry nakita ko lang sa screen. I didn't mean to say it out loud."

I stared at him before looking away. I didn't say anything. Ba't kasi nakatingin pa sa screen. Nakikiusosyo pa sya. Privacy, please. I'm a little pissed but I decided to not think about it anymore. I keep on replying to some chats and messages.

I finish replying but Nami is not back yet. Antagal naman ng tawan na yon baka hindi na sya bumalik. After an hour the nurses and doctors come out. Napatayo kaming dalawa ni Tita. "Let's wait for 30 minutes to make sure she doesn't have any reactions to the medication." saad ng doctor bago uli ito pumasok.

"What happen?" sumulpot bigla si Nami sa likod ko. "Antagal mo." ani ko.

Hilaw ang tawa nya. "W-wala. Sumakit kasi yung tiyan ko dumiretso ako sa CR."

I nod. "Lagi nalang."

Ngumisi sya. "Dika pa ba sanay Kaila."

Hindi nako sumagot at naghintay muli. 30 minutes passed at natapos nadin. "Where's her boyfriend?" tanong ko kay Nami.

She look at me with wide eyes. Napasapo pa sa dibdib nya. "Bat mo sakin tinatanong? Hindi naman ako yung girfriend at hindi din ako kabit no!" she defend herself.

I pull her hair. "Nagbaka sakali lang ako. You always know everything, malay mo pati yon alam mo pa."

She rolled her eyes and pouted. We're just looking at Tita Carla, she's talking to the doctor.

"She can go home tomorrow but i suggest na kumuha kayo ng care giver for Lyle. Every week she needs to go back here okay?" the doctor said.

Tita nodded and the doctor leave the room.

Tita sighed. "Continuous ang therapy ni Lyle and it takes 6-12 or more. I hope she'll get better." 

I walk towards her and hug her afterward. "Don't worry. Gagaling din sya tita."

She hug me back and Nami joined. "Thank you, girls." Nakatingin lang samin ang lalaki hanggang sa humiwalay kami sa pagkakayakap.
