On His Roster (Aviación #1) Completed

Worries

My clothes have changed.

I was uneasy when I woke up, and it got worse as the harsh white lights hit my eyes.

Ang bigat ng katawan ko pero mas nilamon ako ng katahimikan, hindi ako mapakali. My stomach is growling so loudly but I couldn't stand up when I attempted.

I'm starving and really exhausted. Nilibot ko ang tingin sa buong kwarto at hinanap ang aking mga gamit.

My gaze fell upon the individual seated on the chair just beside me, and I deduced from his posture that he was dozing off.

"Av..." nag aalalang si Nathan ang bumungad sa akin, nagmamadali siyang tumayo at niyakap ako ng sobrang higpit.

Ramdam ko ang pag aalala sa kaniyang yakap pero kahit na ganoon mas lalong hindi gumaan ang pakiramdam ko.

"Thank goodness you are awake, Av,"

"Where's Deuce?" a deep fear begins to seep into my body, and the more time goes by, the worse my worry gets.

I looked for him in a panic.

Hindi niya ako iiwan. Hindi niya gagawin sa akin iyon. He's staying here with me. He is all i need.

"Have I spoiled his birthday? He should be celebrating his great day, but I've ruined it for everyone. Where is he?!" sunod sunod kong iyak nang walang sumasagot sa akin.

"I need him here!" hindi mapigilan na magwala kakahanap kung saan si Deuce. Sobra ang takot na baka iniwan na niya ako na tuluyan na nga niya akong lulubayan. "Where is he?"

"He strangled you and you passed out!" galit at di makapaniwala na sigaw ni Nathan sa akin.

"What? Where is he, Nathan? He should be here," pagmamakaawa ko at naiiyak na sa kama.

"That asshole closed off your airway making it hard for you to breathe and here you are looking for him like you're gonna die?! You're unconscious, not breathing and have no pulse, Av!"

Umiling ako habang sunod sunod na tumulo ang aking mga luha.

"That's not true! You are lying! Please...please...i need him here..." i begged my friend.

"Please make him come back? Nathan...please? Where's Deuce?"

Hindi niya ako iiwan. Hindi siya pwedeng umalis. Hindi totohanin ni Deuce ang sinabi niya.

Imposible iyon diba? Sabi niya gusto niya akong maging girlfriend o saan na siya ngayon at bakit wala sa rito sa harap ko?

"Please make him come back...please," umiiyak kong pagmamakaawa sa kaibigan.

As much as i wanna go and look for him my body won't let me. I feel so weak on my bed and all i could do is cry.

Sabi niya hahayaan niya ako anong ibig sabihin nun? Hindi na kami magpapansinan? Aalis na siya ng dubai? Hindi naman siguro lilipat ng kompanya si Deuce para lang hindi niya makita ang mukha ko.

"I think we should let them have their time to themselves." Bumukas ang pintuan at nakita ko si Yoni na may dalang bag ng pagkain sa kamay.

"What?!"

"Let them have a chance to talk, Nathan." Nag aalalang ngumiti si Yoni sa akin at ibinaba niya ang dalang pagkain sa lamesa bago ako niyakap. "How's your feeling? You need to eat to get your energy back, Av."

"He's banned! He's not allowed to be here—"

"Who made that rule?"

"Us! Her friends!"
