Mon

It's been a week since Sam went in a coma. She had another heart attack and it's triggered her heart to pump a blood to her body.

Kahit ang mga Doctor na tumitingin sakanya hindi din alam kung kailan sya magigising and it's up to her kung kailan sya gigising.

"I miss you, Sam." I said as the tears in my eyes fell.

Hinawakan ko ang kamay nya at dinampi ko yun sa pisngi ko.

"Please wake up. I really miss you. Please come back to me."

Ilang gabi ko na syang pinagmamasdang natutulog. Lumipas pa ang ilang araw pero wala paring improvement sa katawan nya. Hindi pa din sya nagigising and it worries me.

Halos pagalitan na din ako nila Neung at Dean dahil hindi ako umaalis ng hospital. Aalis man, pero babalik din agad kapag nakakuha na ako ng gamit sa bahay namin. My Mother always told me to stay at the house and get some rest but I don't want to leave Sam's side. I want to be there for her.

"Mon..."

I wiped my tears and fix myself when I heard Neung called me behind.

Then I felt a hand to my shoulder. "You should go home. You need to rest. Hindi na namin kakayanin kung pati ikaw magkakasakit."

"No, Neung. I-i'm f-fine." My voice's shaking. Naiiyak na naman ako. Wala na akong ibang ginawa kundi umiyak ng umiyak.

"Stop being stubborn, Mon. Tee told me na malapit ang exam ninyo. Don't neglect your study."

I didn't talk. Nakatingin lang ako kay Sam habang hawak ang kamay nya.

"You think Sam will be happy if she find out that you neglected yourself because of her? Look at you, you have a dark bags under your eyes. Hindi ka nakakatulog ng maayos dito." Neung scolded me.

"But Neung, I want to be here when she wakes up. Gusto kong maramdaman nyang hindi ko sya iniwan..." I cried hard.

Neung pulled me for a hug. "I know. But please, huwag mong kalimutan yang sarili mo. Go home and take a rest, a proper sleep, Mon."

I buried my face to her shoulder. "Fine. But please, call me if something happened, please..."

"I will." She said, caressing my back. "She'll be fine. Stop crying she's still alive."

I chuckled. "I know. Hindi sya pwedeng mawala or else, I'll kill her myself."

"Oh. Poor Sam, she doesn't have a choice but to wake up and poor her for having a brutal girlfriend."

We both laughed.

Sam

"She left."

I heard Neung said. I opened my eyes and a white ceiling welcomed my sight. Umupo ako ng maayos sa bed ko at sumandal.

"What's your plan? Bakit ayaw mong ipaalam sakanya na gising ka na? You're betraying her, Little one."

I smiled sadly to her then I started to cry again. Mabuti nalang nga at hindi nahahalata ni Mon na namamaga ang mata ko tuwing pupunta sya dito.

"I'm just preparing her for the worst, Neung. Mas okay nang maging ready sya pag nawala ako.."

"Don't say that. Magpalakas ka at once na pinayagan ka na ng Doctor mo to leave, we'll going to the state for your operation."
