Chapter 13

SYANNA FANCOVILLA

I FELT a sudden strong headache, I could barely handle it so I opened my eyes.I'm not dumb to think that i'm in heaven, i'm in a hospital.

"Gising ka na!" sigaw ni Krish na siyang katabi ni Vance.

"You.."

"You did it" kunot noo kong tiningnan si Krish.

"But how.."

"Why?What happened?" kunot noo niyang tanong.

This is the first time I saw her na mugto ang mata, hinahagod lang ni Vance ang likod niya habang malapit siya sa kama ko.

"You can get out now" nahinto ako sa boses na narinig ko.

It couldn't be, why is he here?

"You can't order me" matalim ang mga mata ni Krish nang sabihin n'ya 'yon kahit pa mugto ang mga mata niya.

She's a good friend after all.

My eyes landed on him and he's actually intimidated so he shook his head, nagda-dalawang isip pa ako kung tatawagin ko siya ngunti wala rin naman akong choice dahil nandito na siya.

"Papa"

Walang gana lang siyang tumingin sa akin, kumirot ang puso ko kahit pa tingin lang 'yon.Bakit ako nasasaktan sa simpleng tingin?Dahil ba alam ko ang ibig sabihin o nago-overthink lang ako?

"Oh, you're awake, what are you feeling right now?" salubong ng doctor sa pinto habang nakangiti.

Lumapit siya at may tiningnan sa machine na nakakabit sa akin, he wrote something on his pad before focusing on me.He's smiling but I could clearly see the different aura in his eyes.

"Can you give us a moment?It's gonna be a survey and you might wanna respect that for a bit" kalmado ang boses ng matandang doktor kaya nagkusa sina Krish na lumabas.

Nagdalawang isip pa si papa ko pero tuluyan rin siyang lumabas dahil na rin siguro sa presensya ni Krish, I heard the doctor sigh right after my father closed the door.

Kilala rin ng papa ko si Krish at never silang nagclick together as someone na magkakilala, maybe because alam ni papa na si Krish ang nagbabantay sa yaman ng mga Monsuíer.Kaya siguro noon pa man, pinapalayo niya na ako kay Krish.

"Earlier, a man named Veron was running here - in the nearest hospital he could find with wet clothes and wet body parts.He's not calm at all and he's panicking, he just kept on calling nurses and doctors until I noticed him" he smiled "I asked what happened and he told me every single thing that he had seen, he was open to me for some reason like he's asking for my help"

"That bartender.." I whispered.

"Yes, that bartender saved your life and eventually did not agree to your suicide attempt.You know, sometimes we felt like giving up to our lives to the point that we had to end our living just to end the pain with it, we have our own pain tolerance and yours just reach your limit because you lie to yourself that you're built strong by your parents but the truth is.. you're a fragile vase with a touch of flower on it" wala akong maintindihan sa punto niya pero naiintindihan ko ang parteng pinaniwala ko ang sarili kong malakas ako.

That's the only way I could continue, lying to myself.

"The way your father did not worry about you almost dying, I saw the dart in here" itinuro niya naman ang kaliwang dibdib ko kung na saan ang puso ko "Lots of darts stabbed you, am I right?"

I slowly nodded, "Definitely"

"I notice that something is wrong with your father and now I realized that you're in that drowning phase in life, that phase wherein the father from above will test your limitations but you ended up giving up on the love of your life" kumunot naman ang noo ko sa sinabi niya "But even though you've reach the part where you want to end everything, Veron the bartender gave you a sign that death is not always the answer, you know what's the answer?"
