"Anong nangyayari, Brayan?"
"Calm down, mag-uusap kayong dalawa mamaya." Maliit siyang ngumiti sa akin. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.
"You can tell me,"
The room suddenly became crowded. May iilang babaeng pumasok. Si Isadore at Miz ay nag-uusap sa likuran ko, they were talking about the situation.
"Sasakalin ako no'n, Eryna. Mag-uusap kayong dalawa mamaya. Okay lang 'yon, napagod lang siguro."
"Eryna," The woman who looked so sophisticated and elegant called me. Kilala niya ata ako dahil diretso ang tingin niya sa akin.
Gusto ko pa sanang sagutin si Brayan pero biglang nakatingin na ang lahat sa akin. Like they're expecting me to aid him, hindi naman ako doktor. But he was checked lately by his therapist and personal doctor kaya tumabi muna kami at nagtanong ako kay Brayan.
"Eron's looking for you," The woman added.
Bahagyang pinantay ni Brayan ang bibig sa tenga ko para bumulong. "Huwag kang matakot, ganyan talaga siya tumingin."
"I heard that," Minatahan ng babae si Brayan, mapaklang natawa ang lalaki.
Mabilis akong lumapit sa gilid ng kama ni Eron. Then he sat on his bed immediately. The stern expression on the man's face who looked like Brayan welcomed me. Tumabi siya para makadaan ako. He even cleared his throatthroat then talked to the woman who called me.
"I'm sorry that you're shocked," Eron spat and even had the guts to pull me closer to him.
His hand snaked on my waist as he hugged me with his right hand. He looked up to me, ignoring the fact that his family is just around watching us.
"Hindi mo lang ba ako yayakapin pabalik? I am hurt," Palambing niyang sabi, I swear this man. . .
I gave in and hugged him back. Binalot ko ng yakap ang ulo niya. I heard his low chuckle para bang may nakakatawa sa nangyayari kaya humiwalay agad ako at sinamaan siya ng tingin.
"Look at this man," I heard a low voice from behind.
"Noong nakaraang nagkaganyan siya halos hindi tayo pansinin dahil sa inis ngayon naman hindi namamansin dahil nagpapalambing," Napalingon tuloy ako sa nagsalita, maybe this is also his cousin who looked the same as them.
They were gathered on the far foot side of the bed, nakatingin lang sa amin, ang iba ay may ngising itinatago sa labi. While the woman who called me lately was scowling.
"Saan ang masakit?" Tanong ko kay Eron.
He pursed his lips and tapped the spacious side of the bed. "Upo ka muna," He urged so I sat beside him.
Ngayong lebel na ang tingin namin ay tinuro niya ang noo niya. "It hurts here,"
Inabot ko iyon para tingnan kung may sugat ba.
"A kiss will make the pain subside, though." He smiled boyishly as he remained looking into my eyes, habang hindi ako nakatingin sa kanya.
Bahagya kong pinitik ang noo niya. He groaned exaggeratedly like it's that painful. "Hindi ako nakikipagbiruan dito, Eron Nate. You have an explaining to do when you get better," I said lowly while gritting my teeth and glaring at him.
He bit his lips to hide a smile. Tumango siya. "A kiss will make me feel better,"
"Pagbigyan mo na, Eryna." Brayan teased kaya napalingon ako. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin, kung pwede ko lang talagang mamura ang Brayan na 'yan ngayon ginawa ko na, pasalamat siya at nandito ang pamilya niya.
