What If You Fall In Love

Chapter 18: The Search

Rizlee..

nang magising ako, i saw Vyel's sleeping. naka upo sya sa sahig and nakatungo sa kama ko. her face covered by her hair.

i slowly get up and slowly removed the hair corvering her face. she's cute in that position. then she moves.

- hey! would you like to sleep here beside me? for sure sumakit na yang batok at likod mo.

then i patted my bed asking to lay beside me. tumayo sya and umupo sa tabi ko. hinawakan nya yung forehead ko, then hers

- i think wala ka ng fever.

- astig kasi yung nurse ko she's so good and so caring. haha.

tapos sumimangot sya. what's wrong with her? then tumayo.

- here eat this para makainom ka na uli ng gamot mo. or should i call your nurse before you eat this?

then she was about to leave the room when i called her.

- wait Vyel! who's nurse are you talking to?

humarap sya and smirk at me.

- may iba pa ba? eh di si Maddie.

- si Maddie!? haha. kaya pala.

then tinangnan nya ako ng masama while me just smiled back to her. si Maddie pala yung akala nyang magaling na nurse na tinutukoy ko. nakakatuwa talaga tong si Vyel. hay knowing my best friend i know she's jealous. kaya aasarin ko muna sya.

- sige tawa pa ng mabinat ka.

- you're cute. don't bother to call her nakakahiya na sa tao eh. baka hindi pa naka pag rest yun. pwede ba for now ikaw na muna?

lumakad syang pabalik and kinuha yung soup at inabot sa akin.

- oh. ubusin mo lahat yan.

- aahh..

- what!?

- subuan mo ko. di ba ganun pag may sakit? sinusubuan? aahh!

- hoy hindi ka imbalido Rizlee. as far as i remember, fever and cold lang ang sakit mo. kaya kainin mo na yan.

then i pout.

- sige na nga kung ayaw mo ako na lang. buti pa si Maddie she cared so much for me.

- sabi ko nga di ba i'll call her. para sya na yung mag alaga sayo. sya yung gawin mong yaya wag ako!

then tumayo sya.

- oi Vyel! i really---

hindi na nya hinintay matapos yung sinasabi ko. tuluyan na syang lumabas ng room.

- miss lang na kulitin ka.

Vyel..

bad trip talaga yun! sobrang manhid! hindi man lang nya naiisip that i'm hurting tapos she compared me to Maddie. bahala na sya.

bumaba ako and decided na lumabas muna ng dorm to refresh my mind.

great sa dinami dami ng pwede kong makasalubong eh yung tao pa na kina iinisan ko.

- hi Vyel! gising na si Riz?

nag nod lang ako. then continue to walk.

- Vyel!

i stopped.

- hinahanap ka pala nya.

sabi ko without facing her. then walked again.

- oh! going somewhere? umuulan pa rin.

sabi ni ate Marge. i didn't say any, i just walked my way out the dorm.
