past's flashback

"mommy!! mommy!! look nag top 2 po ako sa school namin, mom-"

"Luna, can we please let's talk about it later? i have something to do, im sorry" kita ko ang tuluyang pag labas ni mommy ng pintuan, siguro si nica nanaman iyong pinag- kakabusyhan nya.

"luna, you ok?" malambing na saad ni ate lanna

"ate.. did mommy didn't love me anymore? she always tells me that she's busy of her works but ate, i know that its all about nica."

she sigh "luna, no its not. we all love you so please don't think like that hmm?"

"but ate, di po ba maiwan ni mommy si nica even one day? its my special day ate look i got top 2 but still mommy didn't pay attention to it" i almost cried

"luna, look. nica is in a critical condition thats why mommy can't join you today but i know and i swear babawi yun sayo.... ganto nalang habang wala pa si mom, let ate assist you, lets celebrate. san mo ba gusto pumunta?" she asked

"talaga po?"

"yeah, so where do you want to celebrate it?"

"ate.. can we go to the hospital? i want to see nica" i said pleading her, it takes time for her to answer me my my excitement turns into disappoinment when ate finally spoke up

" luna... can you- can you just ask somewhere, wag lang sa h-hospital please? j-just not this one ha?"

"why ate? why you all don't allowed me to visit nica? i just want to see her, gusto ko lang pong malaman kung anong kalagayan ni monica!"

"luna... luna look. monica is okay..... it's- it's dangerous to go to the hospital without mom and dads permission so lets just go somewhere, yung hindi masyadong malayo. gusto mo sa park nalang ta-"

"you just said earlier that nica is in a critical condition and now you just said that she's ok, and isa pa ate, I want to celebrate this with nica, promise po saglit lang and isa lang po 'to hindi na lo mauulit hmm? please po? ate sige na pooo"

she sighed "ok, pero... wag mong sasabihin kayla mommy ok? and also after we visit her uuwi na tayo hindi tayo pwedeng magtagal doon" i nooded.

I fixed my self and after that umalis na kami, ginamit namin ang old car ni dad since marunong naman mag drive si ate. it took us hours to arrived at the hospital, we walk towards the glass door and ask the nurse at the information area.

"ate.... im a bit nervous, bakit po masyadong malayo ang hospital na pinaglagyan ni nica may malapit naman po e"

"i don't know e but it's ok ate here ok?" i nod

when we arrived at the room 203 on third floor i was stunned, kita ko ang nahihirapang paghinga ni nica. she have this kind of transparent mask that covering her nose and chin, naaawa ako sa kanya sobrang payat na ng nica'ng nakakalaro ko dati, i miss her so much.

"hi nica, its me your twin little sister, you know what? I've got onto top two its for you" i sniff, i wipe my tears which I didn't know was already leaking, i was focused on her.

"i wish you we're here, sana sabay tayong makakakuha ng award at aakyat sa stage, I missed you so much nic, its our birthday next-next month, please wake up, i want to celebrate with you, i have a lot of things to say so please..... please wake up ate nica"

I can't stop my sob, pinapatahan na ako ni ate lanna pero hindi padin ako makatigil.

"i know she's proud of you, she would wakeup someday and you two can celebrate everything, lahat iyon mapagtatagumpayan nyo ng sabay. dapat ikaw din lumalaban kadin ah, wag kang bibitaw dahil balang araw magkakasama ulit kayo , hmm."

"i know po ate, and i te-treasure ko po ang araw na 'yon"

"we need to go, luna. its already 5:50 baka abutan pa tayo ng dilim." i nod

"babye, ate nica. see you soon we have to go na po. pagaling ka ahh" i kissed her forehead before leaving the room

tahimik ang buong byahe, kaya pala ayaw din nila ate na papuntahin kami dito sa layo pala ng lugar at matarik din kaya siguradong hindi lalayo sayo ang panganib

"what's wrong po ate?" i asked, ramdam ko ang pagbilis ng sasakyan at kasabay nito ang pagbilis ng tibok ng puso ko

"ate could you drive slowly, bangin po yung nasa gilid natin oh baka mapahamak po tayo."

"im sorry baby, j-just sleep. i know you're tired" pinagsa walang bahala ko nalang ito, i know ate, she won't do anything to harm me kaya i trusted her

"luna..."

"po?"

"can you promise ate?"

"what promise po?" ramdam kong mas lalong bumibilis ang takbo ng sasakyan to the point na humahawak na ako sa gilid ng upuan.

"promise ate, that you would never ever leave mommy, daddy, and nica ok?"

"i know po ate and ikaw din po i would never leave you po- ate!! why are you crying po did something happen po?"

"n-no, nothing. just do what ate said ok? and also, there's a box under my bed, gusto kong kunin mo yun and buksan mo right after your birthday ok?"

"why ate? di ka po ba makakapunta?" i asked confusing, san naman kaya pupunta si ate? did she have an important things to do too?

"No, i mean. m-maybe so please, just do what i said ok? i love you baby" nalilito man ay tumango nalang ako.

"love you too ate- what's that sound po?"

"no!, just c-close your eyes and sleep.."

"ate!! y-your hand...."

"i love you baby, im sorry" she Burst out crying and all i can do is to cry, right after naramdaman ko nalang ang pagkahulog ng sasakyan....

i wish this was just a dream.
