Brave Obsession (Obsession series #1)

23. We're okay

One week later

Heather's POV

I lessen all my crying, pero visible ang pag kabawas ng timbang ko, I didn't charge my phone kaya halos isang linggo na iyong patay.

"Heather, eat something kahit kaunti lang." sabi ni Beatrice sa akin, pero wala akung gana, kumakain naman ako pero kapag sumasakit ma lang amg tiyan ko.

I am suffering from my depression for a week now, after that news broke out, and Beatrice told me na lahat ng sites local and International news na nag labas ng pictures ni Hale at ng babae are all suffering because investors are slowly declining them.

Kapag mag kukwento si Beatrice about kay Hale ay nakikiusap akong wag na niyang ituloy, since ayaw ko munang makibalita dahil lalo lang akung mattrigger.

"stop the hunger strike already, Heather. Hindi lang si Hale ang nag aalala saiyo, pati ako rin! Every time I see you losimg weight everyday it's.... it's triggering me... Like I... I saw-" kinuha ko amg pinggan at nag umpisang kumain.

"it's been one week, Heather. You think you need to listen to Hale's explanation?" tanong niya sa akin, tumulo ang luha ko habamg kumakain at tinulak ni Beatrice ang box ng tissue sa tapat ko.

"I miss him..." umiiyak kung sabi, it feels like forever...

Every minute count is like forever to me, I know it is so hard for both of us...

Nasaktan lang talaga ako and I know thst he is hurting too amd probably concern about me. Hinahanap na ako noon alam ko...

"he is drinking everyday, he is always in a bad temper, and lots have been fired in the Empire  since you've been gone, and you, look at you... You're not eating properly and constantly losing weight, crying and not getting enough sleep, both of you cut the chase already, please lang!" sabi niya sa akin, I hate to admit it but... She is right.

Hale and I, this separation is both affecting our lives...

Naagaw ang atensyon namin ni Beatrice ng mag ring ang phone niya at sinagot niya ito kaagad.

"Hello? Jav?" tanong niya, nagulat ako ng biglang tumayo si Beatrice at mukhamg gulat.

"What?! And he is declining to be treated? What the fuck! Okay! Yeah I'll bring her." sabi ni Beatrice at bigla akung kinabahan.

"W-W-What's happening? something happened to Hale?" nanlalambot ako at parang umiikot ang paningin ako.

"He is in the hospital, he is refusing treatment unless he saw you. My god!" sabi ni Beatrice at lalo akung nanginig.

"T-T-T-This is my fault... Trice this is... I did this... My fault... My fault..."bulong ko ng paulit ulit, Beatrice shake my shoulder.

"Heather, we need to go to the hospital now! Get it together!" sigaw niya at tumango ako.

Tumakbo kami pareho palabas ng condo unit at agad nag tungo sa parking lot, buong byahe ay si Hale lang ang iniisip ko, kaya ng makarating kami sa ospital ay binuksan ko kaagad ang pinto ng kotse kahit hindi pa ito nakakapag park, tinawag ako ni Beatrice pero gusto ko lang makita si Hale.

Napaluhod ako ng muntik na akong masagasaan, mahapdi ang tuhod ko pero hinayaan ko na lang at tuloy tuloy akung pumasok sa ospital hanggang sa nurse station.

"Nurse, Hale Lorenzo please. I'm his wife."sabi ko, mukhang nag panic ito at hinanap agad sa book record nila ang pangalan ni Hale.

"Presidential suit 2, Ma'am." sabi niyo at tumakbo ako kaagad papunta sa elevator.

I pressed the PS button, naiiyak na agad ako kahit iniisip ko pa lang na makikita ko siya s ganoong estado dahil sa akin.

Bumukas ang elevator at para lang akong nasa hotel at wala sa ospital dahil puro two-way door ang nakita ko.
