Captured By His Indifference [Completed]

Chapter Twenty (Part 2)

COACH MAYDEL NORIEL

Hindi ko inaasahang sya ang maabutan ko, of all the people, why him?

I saw Astrea, collapsing so I run to her, sinalo sya ng taong yun, "We need to bring them to the hospital." ani nito sa akin, though I hate it. I nod and called Mike and the others to escort us. Tumawag na rin kami ng bumbero while we drive the two to the nearest hospital, may dalang medicine bag ang lalaking yun kaya agad ay nalapatan ng paunang lunas ang dalawa.

Agad ay dinala sa emergency room ang dalawa, hindi ko alam paanong kaming dalawa lang ang nasa ospital, nasa labas kasi ang mga driver na naghatid sa amin.

It was awkward as heck. I tried calming myself, pakiramdam ko inaatake ako ng anxiety ko, like how it went on when Cyanide was young, and I was in High school. Noong mawala sya. It was the same.

Ramdam ko ang panginginig ng mga kamay ko, I want to see my nephew. I want to see him to tell that he's fine.

"You should sit, first."

Napatingin na lang ako sa kasama ko. Sumunod ako sa sinabi nito, pero bago ako tuluyang makaupo ay pakiramdam ko ang panghihina ng mga tuhod ko, and before I could fall, I feel someone grab me by my waist.

"I got you."

Napatingin ako dito, alam kong sa pagod, pag-aalala at takot, alam kong naging vulnerable ako. I was again vulnerable infront of him... In front of this man, this man named Kei Osamu.

Inalalayan ako nitong maka-upo at nagulat na lang ako ng lumuhod ito sa harap ko.

"They will be fine."

Tumayo ito at may kung anong kinuha sa bulsa nya, "You didn't realize that you hurt yourself. Take care of yourself." ani nito at nilagyan ng band aid ang kamay ko na may di kalakihang sugat.

Lumabas ang doktor kaya napatayo ako.
"Sino po ang--"

"I am the boy's aunty and coach of the girl, kumusta sila?"

"I thought you are their-- anyways, both of them are fine. They just need to rest. The boy's condition is stable, he only have few bruises and scratches, but he is fine. The girl had few scratches, but she's going to be fine. Pagod lang sila pareho. But,"

"Ano po yun, Doc?" tanong ko

"Did the boy had some sort of attacks? Like anxiety or panic?"

"He... He had a bit of terrible childhood related to fire." kimi kong sabi

"Doc, I am Doctor Kei Osamu of Margen City General Hospital--"

"Doctor Osamu, good to meet you."

"Are there any matter related why you ask if he had panic attack?"

"He seems to lose consciousness due to excessive breathing difficulty."

"I see, if you may, I'd like to check on him"

"Kayo ba ay personnal doctor nya?"

I was about to say something in case na magduda pa sila, though I hate it, "He's--"

"I am." saad nito sa seryoso nyang tono

I look at him and after the doctor agreed, he left, and all the strenght I manage to gather to stand and walk started loosing. Walamg sabi sabi ay binuhat ako nito at muling iniupo sa upuan sa labas ng emergency room.

"You're exhausted."

"I'm fine."

"You're not."
