Agad kong dinaluhan si Hope na ngayon ay naka handusay sa sahig at wala na itong malay. Kinarga ko siya at i-hiniga sa kama. Tuliro ang isip ko—hindi ko alam ang aking gagawin, kung ano ang aking uunahin. Nahihilo ako dahil sa kaba at takot na aking nararamdaman. Pumatak ang aking mga luha. Fuck, this is not the time to be weak, Diara! Think faster!
Oh, God! What should I do? What should I do? Tanga, Diara! Call a fucking doctor! Shit!
With my trembling hands, I dialled our personal doctor. A female doctor to be exact.
“Hello, Miss Diara?” the Doctor answered.
“Doc., can you come over right now? This is emergency, please! Hurry!” pagmamadali ko sa kaniya and didn't give her a chance to reply back. Binabaan ko agad siya ng tawag.
Nilapitan ko si Hope at umupo sa tabi niya kung saan siya nakahiga. I tapped her cheeks. Plano ko siyang gisingin. Plano kong alamin na ayos lang siya at walang masamang nangyari sa kaniya.
“Hope, please, baby. Please, wake up...” mahinang saad ko.
Why did she passed out? May hindi ba siya sinasabi sa akin? Is she hiding something from me? Damn it! I hope none.
Ilang minuto lang ay nakarating na ang doctor sa mansion. Pumasok siya sa kung nasaan kami.
“What happened, Miss Diara?” the doctor asked me before attending Hope.
“I... I don't know. When she called, sinabi niyang she can't breath. When I got here in the mansion, she passed out right before I had the chance to be inside this room.” I explained while observing and looking at Hope. She looks pale. What happened, Hope?
The doctor examined Hope. Checking her pulse, her breathing, whatever rituals it is. All I want is Hope, her being okay. I can't just lose her, okay? She's my everything. I will go insane for real if– ah, why am I being negative? I'm sure she'll be okay.
“Ano na, Doc.? What's her condition? Is she okay? Nothing's wrong, yes? Tell me!” I said and desperately asked her.
Bumuntong hininga siya at bumaling sa akin, “She's okay, she's good. There's no harm inside her body. But the reason why she passed out is because of stress,” saad niya ng mahinahon.
Naka hinga ako ng maluwag at nawala ang bagay na para bang naka dagan sa puso ko.
“She needs a good rest. I advise you na huwag siyang mag isip ng mga negatibong bagay, nakaka dagdag ‘yon sa stress. Iwasan ang masiyadong pagiging emotional niya. Alright?”
Tumango ako sa kaniya at nilapitan ulit si Hope. I caressed her hair and leaned down to kiss her forehead. A soft kiss.
“Be well, baby...” I whispered.
“Oh, siya, huwag mong kakalimutan, ha? Aalis na ako.” sabi ng doctor namin while keeping her things na dala niya.
Tumango ako. “Salamat at mag-iingat kayo.”
She just nodded at lumabas na ng kuwarto.
Pagka labas ng doctor ay doon naman pumasok ang tatlo. Sina Tate, Taki, at Trina. The f-cking Tres Marias of mine.
“Okay na ba siya?” Pag aalalang tanong ni Tate
“Is she okay?” Taki
“Anong nangyari sa kaniya?” Trina
Sabay-sabay silang nag salita, medyo malaki ang boses.
Binigyan ko sila ng matalas na tingin to shut them up. Kaya noong nakita nila ‘yon, agad silang tumahimik.
