Serina, a well-known runway and fashion model who is also a third-year AB Communications student at the ADMU, cross paths one night with a very reclusive and enigmatic licensed pilot who is also suffering heartbreak.
Are each others broken hearts wh...
I was reading a book in the living room when my phone vibrated. I placed the book on the table and began reading the message. It was my younger brother, Justin.

I was about to go upstairs but I thought I'd message Wynter first. She's still in her room and she hasn't come down yet. So I'm predicting she's still sleeping because we got home very late last night and she was extremely drunk.

When I stood up on the sofa, may nasipa akong cellphone. Hindi ko pa nakukuha yun pero alam ko na kung kanino yon. Syempre kanino pa ba? Edi sa careless kong kambal. Siguro nalaglag niya to kaninang madaling araw nung umuwi kami.
When I took it, I didn't mean to see what was on the screen. It was her friend's message in their group chat.

Pumunta ako sa kwarto ni Wynter, at kumatok. Hindi naman siya sumagot, kaya binuksan ko na yung pinto. Natutulog pa nga siya. Nasa sahig yung isang unan niya kaya pinulot ko at binato sa kanya.
"What the hell is your problem?" tanong niya. I crossed arms, and threw her phone on the bed.
"Y...Your friend, umm.. I found your phone sa living room and accidentally read the message of Uno sa gc niyo." sabi ko. Nakaupo na siya ngayon sa kama niya at minamasahe yung ulo niya.
"And?" tanong niya pa. Hindi ko naman malaman paano ko sasabihin sa kanya yung nabasa ko don. She might panic.
"Serina," panimula ko, tumingin agad siya sakin at nag-aantay ng sasabihin ko. "Nasa hospital siya." sabi ko. Kitang kita ko sa mukha niya ang pag-aalala.
"What?" I don't know how to answer her since yun lang naman yung nabasa ko sa phone niya.
Kinuha niya agad yung phone niya at may tinawagan.
"Amara, where are you? Yeah. I don't know. I'll be there, hmm maybe an hour. Yeah. Okay."
I was about to leave her room, but she started tearing up so I stopped and faced her.
"Do you want me to drive you to the hospital?" I suggested and she just nodded.
Pumunta muna ako sa kwarto ni Justin. I saw him with Duke, they are playing online games.
"Order your food now. Ihahatid ko lang si Wynter sa friend niya." sabi ko. Ibinigay ko naman sa kanila yung phone ko, para maka pili sila doon. Pumunta naman ako sa kwarto ko, para makapag palit ako ng damit.
*** Nung makarating na kami sa hospital, tumakbo agad si Wynter at pinuntahan yung room ni Serina. Pagkabukas na pagkabukas ng pinto lumapit agad siya kay Serina na nakahiga sa kama.
"What in the world are you doing to yourself, Serina?" naiyak na sabi niya habang yakap si Serina. Andito rin sa loob ng kwarto yung dalawa nilang kaibigan na kasama kagabi. Si Uno lang yung kilala ko, yung isa hindi ko matandaan yung pangalan sa dami ba naman nilang magkakaibigan.
"Anong nangyare, Uno? Ano sabi ng doctor?" tanong ni Wynter kay Uno na nakaupo sa kabilang side.
"Seraphim, yung bunso nila, asked Uno to check on Serina, kasi hindi daw nagrereply. And alam mo naman si Uno, oo agad basta si Serina." sabi nung isa nilang kaibigan.
"Shut up, Shiloh." Hinampas pa ni Uno at tinignan ng masama. I knew it. He has feelings for Serina. It's obvious. The way he acts and looks at her says everything.
"I was planning na rin naman to go her to bring her breakfast. So I agree to Seraphim and asked Shiloh na samahan ako. Tapos nung walang nasagot sa unit Serina, we opened her door. And we found her sa floor, very pale, sobrang gulo ng unit niya, basag phone niya, magulo ang buhok niya, and may mga pasa din siya. Hindi naman siya mukhang napasok ng magnanakaw and isa pa..." hindi niya matuloy yung sasabihin niya.
"We also noticed that her unit's windows are open, and her condo is on the 16th floor, which would be extremely dangerous if opened. So, I believe she attempted suicide by jumping out her window," he explained. Lalo naman umiyak si Wynter.
"Dinala na namin siya dito sa ospital, kasi nawalan na din siya ng malay nung inaalalayan namin siya kanina." sabi pa ni Uno.
"Sorry, babe. Sorry. Sorry. Wala akong kwentang kaibigan, wala man lang akong nagawa. Hindi man lang kita na-comfort. You always tell me na you're fine kasi. Sina-sarili mo na lang lahat." sabi pa ni Wynter at iyak pa din ng iyak.
"Let's just wait until she wakes up. She must be really tired, Wynter. Calm down." sabi ko sa kanya at inalalayan siya umupo muna sa may gilid.
"Yeah. Don't worry, Wynter. Sabi naman ng Doctor kanina okay na siya at kaylangan lang niya magpahinga. Sobrang dehydrated din kasi siya possibly because of so much crying last night. She must be in a lot of pain; let's try to talk to her later and encourage her to see a psychiatrist as sooner as possible." sabi nung Shiloh. Binigyan niya ng isang basong tubig yung kapatid ko.
"Have you guys messaged her family?" tanong ni Wynter.
"Not yet." sagot ni Uno.
"Glad, because she's in bad term with her parents. And baka isa yun sa reason ng mga iniisip niya ngayon. Ako na lang magme-message sa kuya niya." sabi ni Wynter. At sumang-ayon naman yung kaibigan niya. "By the way, paano kayo nakapasok sa unit niya? Buti alam niyo yung passcode." she added. Tumigil na siya sa pag-iyak at ininom yung tubig.
"We just guessed it, about pa rin sa ex niya eh." sabi ni Shiloh. Agad naman akong napatingin sa kanya. So she's heartbroken too.
I wonder ilan pang problema ang itinatago niya. I looked at Serina, who is sleeping in her hospital bed. I'm loss of words. But knowing some of her issues makes me want to help her. It must be really difficult. When she's with her friends and infront of the camera, she always looks so happy, but the reality is, when she's by herself, sadness can almost kill her.
We're not even close. I don't know anything about her, but just by looking at her makes me want to do something to cheer her up.
