Hiroto's POV

Alam mo yung masakit?

Yung nakikita mo yung taong mahal mo na nasasaktan.

Nasasaktan na nga siya, para sayo mas doble ang sakit na nadarama mo kapag nakikita mo siyang umiiyak.

I hugged her as Eliana cried in my arms knowing that our best friend Liana is in pain and in agony.

Maya maya, nagdesisyon na si Carl na dalhin si Liana sa hospital because she is not yet awakened by the treatment that the nurses here in the clinic gave her.

"Carl, make sure you don't lose my trust on you. Take care of my best friend. Tomorrow, we're going to visit her." Eliana said as she picked up her bag.

I immediately hold her bag. "Eliana, ako na. I know that you're not still okay from what happened." She sighed as she gave me her bag.

Naglakad na kami a few meters from the clinic ng narinig ko ulit siyang humikbi.

I tried to managed her as we sit down near the benches here on the grounds ng G.U.

"Alam mo Hiroto, sobrang sakit talaga. Ang sakit sakit na makita mo ung best friend mo na walang malay? Ang alam ko naman wala siyang dinadalang problema pero ano? Tapos, mukhang unti-unting nawawala yung tiwala ko kay Carl. He doesn't deserve to have the heart of my best friend." I faced her and I used my thumb to wiped her tears that is flowing on her cheeks.

Inakbayan ko siya atsaka ako tumingin sa kawalan. "Eliana, I know what and how you feel pero masamang mag-jump into conclusions. Huwag muna nating husgahan si Carl sa nangyari kay Liana, we really didn't know what happened right? Besides, kailangan lang natin mag-pray at magtiwala kay God to make Liana safe." I smiled to assure her that nothing is impossible.

Napatingin ako sa kanya when she suddenly stand up. "Alam mo Hiroto, you're right. I just need to strengthen my faith and put my trust in Him and not to lose hope. I'm really glad that God gave me you." She returned a smile at agad niyang pinunasan ang luha na kumawala sa mga mata niya.

"Thanks Hiroto. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko if wala ka ngayon dito sa tabi ko. I'm really happy that you're here by my side always." Agad naman akong napangiti sa sinabi niya.

Tumayo na rin ako. "So, hatid na kita my soon to be girlfriend?" I said and wiggled my eyebrows.

She laughed. "Ano ba yan Hiroto! Huwag ka ngang ganyan, tsaka sasagutin kita sa tamang panahon." She grinned.

I pouted. "Sa tamang panahon? Ano tayo, Aldub lang? Haiisstt naman oh."

"Hay naku, halika na nga. I need to finish some things then I'm going to visit Liana tomorrow." Then she stretched her arms and I suddenly placed my arm on her shoulder.

I smirked. "It feels nice..."

"Huh?" She said with a hint of confused tone in her voice.

"It feels nice... having you here next to me. Right here in my arms. This feels nice-- scratch that-- this feels better."

Agad niyang iniwas ang tingin niya and I saw her blushed. I find it cute. Definitely.

I motioned her to lay down. "Higa na my soon to be girlfriend. Promise I won't go." Then tinapik ko yung higaan niya.

"Ayoko nga. Besides, hindi ako mapakali. Gusto ko ng puntahan si Liana but I know that Carl needs a private time with her. I just can't sleep." Umupo siya sa isang sulok at nagtakip ng mukha.
