Hindi siya titigil. Alam niyang totoo si Angel. Hahanap at hahanap siya ng paraan para mapatunayang totoo ito.
Hindi siya baliw...Hindi.
He left the hideout and drive straight to his condo. May mga binili siyang damit ng dalaga. At kung totoo ito, dapat nasa labahan na at kakapit rin ang amoy ni Angel sa damit.
He hurriedly went to his laundry room. Kinuha niya ang basket ng mga labahan pero at nilabas lahat ang damit...pero wala siyang makitang damit nito.
Inis niyang sinipa ang basket at nagmamadaling tinungo ang closet na para sa dalaga. Only to find out that the dress he bought her was still inside the paper bag at may tag pa.
"No! Fuck it, no!" He growled and punch the door of the closet.
Sukat namang nagsidatingan ang pinsan niya na agad siyang pinigilan. Humagulhol siya habang nagpupumiglas.
"She's real...I can feel it..Mahal niya ako!" Giit niya.
"That's what your mind says Heazen. It projects a perfect and happy ideation that would satisfy you. It's either, it's challenging, sweet, painful... It was just your ideation, Heazen."
'I-I wish I could've said...t-that...t-that I'm indeed a fantasy...not just a mere h-hallucinations, Heazen.'
'You have to wake up for the reality...not for us...but for you...'
"Hindi...Hindi 'yan totoo!" He use his all force to push his cousins away. Tumakbo siya sa bedside table niya para ipakita dito ang lalagyan ng heirloom ring para ipakitang wala ng laman 'yon at nasa dalaga na.
But when he opened it, his heart sinks seeing the ring perfectly place inside the box.
"Heazen!" A shout from his cousins calling him but sounds like a faint voice before he fell in the ground.
"Ready the car! He's having a hard time breathing!" Dence hissed and held his head.
Hindi na niya alam kung anong sunod na nangyari. Alam niyang pinagtulungan siyang kargahin hanggang sa maipasok na siya sa kotse.
Angel...please be real..
NANATILI siyang walang buhay na nakatingin sa puting kisame. His cousins were there, Mc Simpson were also there together with his wife, Heazen's sister. Hawak ng babaeng kapatid niya ang kanyang kamay habang kausap siya ni Mc.
"I cannot just declare that he has schizophrenia. Maraming factors na kailangan i-consider, not just pure hallucinations. Or generally, you cannot just diagnose someone a mental illness just a one glance. I suggest to bring Heazen to my clinic abroad. And also, we can have tge therapy sessions there." Mc said.
His cousins sighed heavily. Dahan-dahan siyang umiling.
"No need...I can take care of myself." He whisper.
"Pero Kuya! We cannot just let you do that!" His sister hissed while crying.
He smiled weakly at her sister.
"I'm fine. Ayaw kong makaabala---"
"I call bullshit on that!" Harvie shout angrily
Harvie stood up on his seat to come close to him pero hinawakan ito ni Mc sa balikat para pigilan dahilan para samaan ito ng tingin ng asawa kaya agad na napabitaw si Mc.
"You will heal, Kuya. Gagaling ka, aalis ka dito para gumaling." Harvie's voice trembled while saying that.
Bakit ang hirap kahit 'yon ang dapat? He just wanna stay on his condo, he can feel her presence there. Bakit parang mas tatanggapin niya lang na ganoon nga siya basta makasama niya si Angel?
