Sick





"Grandmere." Bati ko sakanya pagpasok ko sa loob ng library niya.






"Sit." Utos niya sa'kin.





"How are you?" Tanong niya pag-upo ko.





"I'm fine." Tipid na sagot ko.





I have to.





"Are you still visiting your psychiatrist?" Striktong tanong niya.





"No. I'm fine, I already told you that I'm not sick." Pormal na sagot ko.






"No one said that you're sick, I just want you to move on from the past." Biglang nagbago ang tono ng boses niya.






Napayuko ako.





The truth is, the reason why I always sleep in the middle of a class discussion or under a tree is because I'm always dreaming about my past that always kept on reminding me of how terrible I am.





It always reminds me that I can't fall or like someone. I'll just bring misery into his/her life.





Besides, who will accept a woman who already killed someone? And worst, It's not just some random people but her father and grandfather.





"The truth is, I'm not fine at all." Nakayukong sabi ko bago unti-unti at isa-isang pumatak ang luha ko sa naka-bukas kong palad.





"I kept on dreaming about it and it's suffocating, I didn't even want to sleep at night." Dugtong ko pa bago nag-angat ng tingin sakanya.





She's looking at me softly, and it's making me feel the warmth and the love of someone who truly cares for me.





A love that came from a family.





"I asked you to come here because I have to tell you something important." Seryosong sabi niya pakatapos kong mahimasmasan.





"Is it really that important? You even asked me to come here while I was planning to have a dinner with someone." Nakangusong sabi ko.





"Someone? Who's that someone?" She asked, while smiling mischievously.





She's still grinning while looking at me before sipping on her cup of coffee.





"My professor."





Bigla siyang naubo dahil sa sagot ko kaya pigil ang tawang inabutan ko siya ng tissue.





"P-pardon?" She asked, still in daze.





"My professor." Pag-uulit ko.





"What's his name?" Interesadong tanong niya.





"It's actually a her?" Nag-aalangang sabi ko bago nag iwas ng tingin.





"Oh, a her- WHAT?!" Halos mapatalon ako sa gulat dahil sa biglang pagsigaw niya.





"Grandmere, you're overreacting." Walang ganang sabi ko.




"Is she beautiful?" Interesadong tanong niya.





"She's not just beautiful, she's a freaking goddess." Walang hesitasyong sagot ko.
