Chapter 16

Bandang alas sais ng hapon, nagising akong muli ng marinig ang mahinang pagkatok at tawag ni papa sa'kin.

"Zash?" Rinig ko ang mahinang pagtawag ni papa sa'kin.

Nakangiwing pilit kong bumangon ngunit hindi ko magawa. My body was shivering and my head is throbbing so bad, is this how it feels like when someone is close to dying?

"P-pa." Mahinang bulong ko, he opened the door to my room, he was holding up a tray with foods and medicine.

"Are you okay?" He asked, concern was visible in his features.

I forced a smile, "Opo naman pa, ayos lang ako." I lied, I felt like dying. My whole body was throbbing and it feels like someone is hammering my bones from the inside.

He shook his head and placed the food tray at my bedside table before sitting down beside me.

He extended his hand to feel my forehead and he frowned, "You're lying, ang taas ng lagnat mo."

I shook my head, "It's okay pa, really."

"You're shaking, Zasha." He said, firmness was visible in his tone. Hindi na ako umimik pa, Papa was always one to know if I was lying. It's like he's a mind reader or some thing.

"ilang beses din kitang narinig na umuubo, mag-check up ka na kaya." He added, I shook my head in disagreement.

"Gastos lang 'yon pa, gagaling naman ako kaagad. Nangako ako kay Zach." I convinced him, he let out a defeated sigh.

"You're so stubborn." He said, shakig his head. "Oh siya, kumain ka na at inumin mo na ang gamot mo at nang gumaling ka na kaagad."

I nodded and gave him a small smile, "Thanks Pa."

I tried to force myself to sit down, agad naman akong inalalayan ni Papa. Sinubuan naman niya ako ng mainit na sopas at pagkatapos ay pinainom ng gamot bago iniwang mag-isa muli sa kwarto.

When I was all alone, Pax crossed my mind. He didn't send me any messages o tumawag man lang, which made me nervous.

What if Lucrecia had already found out about me and Pax?

I mean, she will eventually and gusto ko na sa'kin mismo manggaling but, selfish as I might sound, I begged na hindi muna. I begged that fate would allow me to stay with him for a while.

I heaved a deep breath before lying back down, agad naman akong ngumiwi ng maramdaman ang kirot sa katawan ko. I didn't bother opening my phone, mas lalo lang sumasakit ang ulo ko when I get exposed by the radiation from my phone.

I was just facing the blank wall with a lot of thoughts in my mind, soon, I found myself drifting to a deep slumber.

Two days have come and gone and I've just recovered from he cold. I also missed out on some of my quizzes on major and applied subjects during those past two days of absences.

In relation to that, I found myself standing outside of the faculty, begging my teacher to allow me to take a special quiz. Pero, kasing tigas ng bato ang puso niya, hindi siya pumayag.

Later, I was walking back to the classroom with my shoulders dropped down to my side. I cursed myself for being absent, kung hindi sana ako nagkalagnat, edi sana hindi ko na-miss out ang quiz.
