Waves of Desires

Chapter 22

I bolted to our dorm; my heart was pounding when the call was hang-up. Rafael followed me from behind, my palms are sweaty, my nerves are shaking thinking about the possibilities of what had happen to him made me loss my mind. When we arrived at our building maraming tao ang nasa lodging area trying to see what was happening. 

"Fuck!! the elevator is not working at the moment," I yelled frustratingly. I grabbed my hair harshly; certain bad things are starting to swell in my mind. In the midst of frustration Rafael grabbed my arm and ran towards the stairs. 

"Calm down and run," he said. I took a deep breath and mutter my thanks. Because I was too occupied about what was happening right now with Zyran, made me forget even the simplest things. 

We ran the stairs until we reach the 5th floor. Nakasalubong namin si Preston, he looked shock when he sees our situation. I was panting heavily same goes with Rafael. 

"Anong nangyari?" he asked. Rafael held him and dragged him as we ran again. 

"There's no time explain," he answered. 

When we finally reach our room, I harshly threw open the door. Kinuha ko ang cellphone ni Rafael and used it as a flashlight. 

"Babe? where are you?!!" I shouted. May narinig akong kalabog sa kusina kaya dali-dali akong pumanhik don. 

And there I saw Zyran, crouching beside the kitchen aisle, trembling and was breathing heavily. Dali-dali ko syang inabot at tinapik ang kanyang balikat. 

"Babe?" I gently whisper. Umangat ang tingin nya at nang makita nyang ako yun he hugged me immediately. I caress his back as he won't stop trembling and it's breaking my heart seeing him like this. 

First is the thunder and now this. 

"R-Rayne..." nanginginig ang boses nya. I huss and kissed his forehead. 

"I'm here babe, don't worry," I comforted him.  

I escorted him to stand up, but his knees gave in kaya binuhat ko sya papuntang kwarto nya. He buried his face on my neck. I'm still hushing him as I can feel his body trembling unstoppable. Nasa labas na  kami ng kwarto nya when I felt his breath becoming heavier. He is breathing rapidly. 

"R-Rayne...." nahihirapang tawag nya sa pangalan ko. 

"His hyperventilating!" Nagpapanic na sigaw ni Preston. 

I felt like the breath was knocked out of me when I saw how pale he was and how much he was sweating. My hands were trembling, but I had to stay calm because I was holding Zyran. Despite the fear swirling in my mind, I forced myself to focus all my energy on what he needed. 

"G-get the paper bag, it's in cupboard," My voice shattered. Pumasok ako sa kwarto nya at umupo sa kama, I gently put him beside me.

Kinakabahan ako, natatakot ako, I don't know what to do but I got to be stronger para kay Zyran. 

Rafael run to get it, pagbalik nya he handed it to me. "B-breath here babe," I assist him to breath in the paper bag. 

Nanginginig nya itong kinuha, he breath heavily and I was consoling and caressing his back telling him that I'm always here. 

"What happen to, Zyzy?" agad na tanong ni Austine ng makapasok sa kwarto ni Zyran. Both him and Villanueva are breathing heavily. 

"I found him in the dark trembling out of fear," I explained. Despite the dim surroundings my eyes were fixed on Zyran, I can see every bead of sweats forming on his forehead every time he breath.  

I breath, "H-his hyperventilating," paos kong saad. 

"O-ok na," 

nagkanda-ugaga ako ng marinig ko syang magsalita , "Are you ok?" nag-aalalang tanong ko. Inabot nya ang pisnge ko and caress it.
