Ilang araw na ako rito sa hospital, laging nabisita dito si Zirxoce and nagkukwentohan lang kaming dalawa. Sabi ng doctor sa akin, baka daw bukas ng umaga ay pwede na akong madischarge dahil medyo naging okay na daw ang aking pakiramdam.

I was about to eat the grapes I was holding when the door open, and Ms. Mendoza entered. Wala sa oras akong napatayo, I fixed myself before I greet her.

Sumenyas siya na maupo ako, "What's bring you here,  Ms. Mendoza?" I confused asked. I mean, after what I do to her, I didn't expect that she will visit me.

"I just wanted to visit you" she said and she smile. I told her to sit. The room filled silence, no one wants to talk.

I avoid her gazed because I'm still shamed for what I said and do to her. I heavily breathe before I speak.

"I'm sorry...for what I said. I should be grateful that you took me in your project" sabay yuko ko dahil sa hiya.

Ngunit tinawanan niya lang ako kaya kunot noo ko siyang tiningnan, "Don't be sorry. It's okay. I know naman kasi na you don't like the concept that I offered to you. So I understand what you feeling" Hindi ko maiwasang mapatulo ang luha. I'm grateful that she's my manager for this project.

Kung ibang tao siguro ito, siniraan na ako sa lahat ng social media at pahirapan ako. "I won't forget your kindness, Ms. Mendoza" nakangiti kong sambit sa kanya.

"Get well soon." She said and she stand up but she was about to go when I called her name. "Ms. Mendoza".

"I'm will accept the extended that you wanted. I will continue working with you!" Nakangiti kong sambit, napangiti naman siya sa aking naging desisyon.

"I'll wait for it" she smile and she left me.

Nagpahinga na ako sa aking silid. My heart feel better, maybe this is the sign that I should be grateful for everything I had right now.

Napatingin ako sa may bintana, sobrang liwanag ng sikat ng araw, tumama ito sa aking mukha kaya naman nasilayan ako.

How beautiful the sun is.

The way air enter the window just to drop in my skin. How lovely he is.

Napatingin ako sa pintoan nang magbukas ito, Zirxoce entered there. He was holding a plastic bag that have my favorite. Initaas niya pa ito habang nakangiti. I don't know what happened to him, I mean he's okay naman but lately he looks comfortable with me.

He sit down at my side. "I brought your favorite food." Nakangiti nyang sambit sabay lapag niya nito sa lamesa kung saang katabi lang niya.

Napangiti ako, "Thank you! And I appreciate your efforts" sambit ko.

"Tataba ako dahil sa mga dala mo" natatawa kong sambit sa kanya, "For sure, Sa sarap ko bang nagluto" he joked, napailing ako at natawa narin.

Nagtatawanan lang kami sa loob ng mga Ilang oras, I'm really happy. My problems step aside for a moment when I'm with him.

We suddenly looked at door when it opened. Napatahimik kaming dalawa dahil sa dumating. Bawat hakbang nila ay siyang pagbilis nang tibok ng aking puso.

Ang aking mga kamay ay nanginginig dahil sa takot, sa takot na baka kung ano na naman ang sabihin nila sa akin, na baka pumunta lang sila rito para pagalitan ako.

"How could you laugh like that when you have an issue in outside?" his eyes was dark like he gonna eat me. Shit! Shit!

I don't like this feeling, the way he looked at me disappointedly. Hindi man lang muna ako kinamusta.
