LOVING SZERAFINA (PROFXSTUD)

XII - Anak

Warning ⚠: Talks about suicide, misuse of drugs, and others...

"...So, yun nga. Hanggang ngayon ay naghahanap parin ng ka-match ko. But I'm fine. Hindi pa naman nanghihina."

"Hmm. Alright just tell me if you don't feel well, ha?"

"Opo, Ma'am." I laughed when she glared at me. "Anyway, at ayun, I was sent back sa Switzerland after a year sa France kase gusto ko na talaga umuwi doon kase miss no na gung mountain view." Hay, I miss Switzerland. "But when I was turning sixteen, I got depressed kase biglang hindi ko tanggap na baka wala talaga akong match. I uhm... I t-tried to commit suicide..."

"Sze..." She said quietly and kissed me on the heas again as she tightened her grip on me.

"I was confined for three months kase the medicines that I took affected some of my organs. Especially my liver. Kailangan akong ma-monitor nun. And there I met Doc Tricia. Siya lang yung kasama ko inside those months kase hindi ko pinapadalaw sina mommies ko. I was embarrassed."

"A-Are you okay now?" Puro are you okay lang ata alam nito salita. Gusto niya ba maging Doctor ko?

"Mhmm. I'm fine na. I have you naman na nga, eh. I'm happy." Sabi ko sabay lukluk sa leeg niya. "You smell good, Professor..."

"W-What happen a-after?" Hmm, tryna change the topic.

"Wala... I got discharged when okay na yung mga test. I finished high school there tapos I went home here sa Philippines with my fam. But pabalik-balik ang twins sa France with Momma. Si Larmey naman... I think dito na siya mag aaral same as Calix. Si Ate, ewan ko lang."

"Larmeyla was in Switzerland, am I right?" I nodded. "Hindi siya umuwi kasama niyo?"

"No, we all, except ate Krey, went home here sa Philippines. Mga isang year din kami magkasama here. Then, Larmey wanted to study high school where I studied doon. Sa France nga kase 'yon lumaki. Ako lang hindi."

"I see... So how was your first time here noon?"

"Second..."

"Ay oo pala."

"Wala, still overwhelmed sa matataas na buildings tapos traffic. Sobra."

"Ang cute-cute mo talaga mag-pout, Mahal ko." She pinched my left cheek tsaka kinagat ang kanang pisnge ko.

"Ah-ouch!"

"Sorry, sorry. Peace! You're so cute kase, eh. I love you, abunjing-abunjing ko." Humagalpal kaming dalawa ng tawa. "What the... Saan ko 'yon nakuha, jusko."

"I love you, so much, mi amor." I managed to say in between my laugher. "So, so much."

"Zeke, mommy invited us sa bahay."

"Now?"

"Yeah. Okay lang ba?"

"But nandoon si Kreyla, right?"

"Ahuh. Okay lang yun. Ano ka ba."

"A-Ano kase... Baka magka-alitan kayo niyan. Bala mapano ka." Ang sweet naman ng jowa ko, oh.

I stepped forward to go near her and kissed her lips. "Mahal... Nothing will happen. Baka kaunting silent treatment lang, oo. Pero malabong aawayin na naman ako nun. Anlalaki na namin."

"Matagal na kayo hindi nagkita?"

"Personally? Yeah. Last namin encounter is nung nahulugan ako ng vase doon sa France. Tapos sa nakikita ko nalang siya kapag fine-facetime niya sina Mom and Ma or mga kapit namin."
