I felt my tears fall down. I can't hear anything kahit na napakalakas ng pagsarado niya ng pintuan. The pain and disappointment on myself swallowed me up and I can't think clearly. Karlo suddenly opens the door and gasps when he saw my wounds. He hurriedly called the staff and asked to call an ambulance at dalhin ako sa hospital. The room was filled of broken flower vases and my hands are spilling a lot of blood. But I can't feel any pain from my wounds, nangingibabaw ang sakit sa aking dibdib. Is this karma? Because I played with a lot of girls before?
The medic arrived and they give me a first aid kit. Karlo and my staffs assisted me downstairs at tinulungan akong maisakay sa ambulance. There's nothing going on with my mind right now but sadness, disappointment, and regrets. As we arrived to the hospital, the doctors hurriedly treated my wounds and after that they told me to rest but I'm still thinking about Abbi and how sorry I am sa ginawa ko sa kaniya earlier. Agad akong tumayo at tumakbo palabas ng hospital. Karlo and the staffs shouted at me trying to call my name but I neglected them. I continue to ran as fast as I can at agad na pumara ng tricycle. Pagkadating ko sa bahay nila ni Abbi, sakto namang umulan ng sobrang lakas but I didn't mind about that. I want to talk to her right now and asked her to forgive me about what I did earlier.
"ABBI!" I shouted trying to figure out if she's home already. Dahil sa sobrang lakas ng ulan, kahit matanggal na ang lalamunin ko sa lakas ng aking sigaw ay natatabunan parin ito dahil sa lakas ng tunog ng pagbagsak ng ulan. "ABBI!" I shouted again letting all my voice out and luckily bumukas ang maliit na bintana mula sa second floor and I saw her standing on that window. She's wearing a white long sleeve dress at hindi na nakatirintas ang kaniyang buhok. I think she's preparing to go to sleep. She look at me with a little disappointment but I can still sense na naaawa siya sa akin. She scanned my wounds carefully and after a while, she slowly close the windows. Napayuko ako dahil nabigo ako. I think Abbi don't want to talk to me anymore. Mas lalong lumakas ang ulan and this time I can feel the piercing pain of my wounds. Kumalat din ang dugo sa bandage at basang-basa na ito.
I just stood here without any plans. Ang nasa isipan ko lang ngayon is that I don't want to go home without having a conversation with Abbi. Napakag*go ko dahil sa ginawa ko sa kaniya kanina, I didn't control myself and act harshly towards her and I know dahil sa ginawa ko ay mahirap na akong patawarin ni Abbi. Biglang bumukas ang pintuan ng bahay nila ni Abbi kaya mahina kong iniangat ang aking ulo. And there, I saw her holding an umbrella while walking towards me. She's holding another umbrella on her left hand and a jacket. Nang makarating ito sa harapan ko, she opened up the umbrella at ibinigay ito sa akin. I am so doubtful but I choose na tanggapin ito at sumunod muna sa mga gusto niya ngayon.
She slowly move closer to me at binitawan ang dala niyang payong and now we are sharing the same umbrella. She spread the jacket into my back at dahang-dahang ipinasuot ito sa akin. After that, kinuha niya ang payong sa lupa at ngumiti sa akin. "I'm sorry dahil nasampal kita kanina" she said while smiling at me genuinely. It's kinda weird because Abbi never gave me a treatment like this before. My mind is running wild again and my heart is racing. "No, look, I'm the one who should apologize. I'm sorry Abbi for what I did earlier" I beg to her while showing my sincerity. "Okay lang yun, don't worry about that anymore" she replied while acting so cool about it. Na parang walang nangyaring masama kanina between me and her.
"I'm really sorry and I hope you'll give me another chance Abbi. One last chance" I beg to her. Her smily face disappears at napalitan ito ng kalungkutan. When she realized it, she pretend to smile again and said, "Okay na iyon, let's just pretend na hindi yun nangyari" she said while laughing as if we're just friends having a little bit of misunderstanding. I am about to speak up but tumalikod siya sa akin. She took several steps forward pero tumigil ito at humarap sa akin. She smiled at me genuinely and said, "I'm dying Xavier and I only have 1 month and several days left"
