"Separated" by Usher

----------

"ROBI?!"

"Pare-"

"Bakit ikaw ang sumasagot sa cellphone ni Kath? Where is she?" Parang na-highblood ako agad.

"Andito kami sa-"

"Will you just give the phone to her?!"

"Wait lang, kasi-"

"Rob, sino yan?" I heard Kath's voice. Parang kagigising lang nya.

What on earth is happening?!

Bumangon na ko sa bed. Palakad-lakad ako sa loob ng kwarto habang hinihintay na makausap si Kath. The damn guy covered the mouthpiece! Ano bang hindi ko dapat marinig?!

"Shu.." Finally I heard Kath spoke on the other line.

"Kay, what's happening? Bakit magkasama kayo at this hour? Nasaan ka ba?"

I couldn't help asking the questions one after the other. Heck, I wanted to know what was going on!

"Will you let me explain?" She said weakly.

"Fine. Tell me."

"I'm.. I'm in the hospital."

Magkahalo na yung worry at yung inis ko. "What?! Kailan pa? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Shu, calm down. I'm okay na. Nag collapse lang ako kanina kaya dinala ako dito. But I'm okay na."

"Bakit nga hindi mo sinabi? Kung hindi pa ko tumawag hindi ko pa malalaman yan?"

"Ayoko lang naman na mag worry ka. Hindi naman 'to big deal. Okay na talaga ako."

"Anong hindi big deal? Ano yun, wala ba kong pakielam sayo ha?"

"Ano ba, Quen.. Nag o-over react ka na."

"Damn it, Kath. Hindi por que nandito ako and wala akong magagawa, okay lang na hindi ko malaman kung anong nangyayari sayo jan!"

"Exactly!" Tumaas na din yung boses nya. "Wala ka namang magagawa, so what's the use na sabihin ko pa sayo? Guguluhin ko lang yung isip mo? Iistorbohin lang kita sa mga ginagawa mo?"

Natigilan ako sandali. Alam kong galit na sya based sa tone nya. But I was so pissed also. And what did she say?

"Wala ka namang magagawa."

It rang to my ear. It hurt my ego, too. Pakiramdam ko, napaka walang kwenta ko. Mukhang ganun yata yung tingin nya sa kin.

"So you just get help from another guy, that's it? You didn't even mind telling me?"

"See? Eh di lumabas din yung totoo! Nagseselos ka nanaman!"

"Yes, nagseselos ako!" Inamin ko na. Mabuti na yung alam nya kung anong nararamdaman ko at that moment. I thought she would back down and get my point. But I was wrong.

"My god, Quen, eto na lang ba lagi ang pag aawayan natin? You're always making a big deal out of this -"

"Because you don't listen to me!"
