Chapter 18 *blame it on the rain*

MIKE’S POV

Before I could reach for my voice, she yelled for help at the top of her lungs.

“Tulong! Aww—“

“Cassey?”

She looked at me terrible. ”Are you okay?”

“I should be the one asking that question, aren’t you?”

“I… I’m…”

The next thing I knew was my clothes were already changed.

I found myself, lying on a white bed with a crucifix on the headboard wall.

I smoothly sway my body but it seems to be so weak. Why?

I hardly try my best to sit then I could.

I was in the University clinic, getting some treatments.

I slowly step my foot on the white floorings and so I did.

I reach for the curtain on the next bed, before I found out that my right arm was swollen and bondage.

I used my left arm instead then…

“Mike? Are you fine now?” she said with a gleaming sound.

Thank God she’s fine!

“Yeah. I just got swollen arm but…”

“Sorry!” she pleaded.

“No! it’s okay.”

Tumayo siya, I saw little cuts on her left arm, still bleeding.

Lumapit ako sa kanya.

Then before she reacted, I held my hand on her arm.

“I thought you’re okay!”

“Wag kang OA. Galos lang naman to.”

“It stills a wound.”

“Okay lang naman na ee. Buti nga nandun ka, kung hindi isang napakalamig na bangkay ko na sana ngayon.”

Umupo siya sa bed and so I did too.

Pumasok naman yung nurse para gamutin yung sugat niya tsaka lumabas na rin naman kaagad. I texted my parents about what happened but I didn’t tell them that I’ve got swollen arm, because if I would they would insist to drop by, maybe I would surprise them instead when I’ve got home.

Pumasok naman yung nurse para ibigay samin yung lugaw na kakainin namin.

“Are you the owner of this guitar?” I showed her the moment she come back from the rest room.

“Yep! Do you know how to play it?”

“Yeah!” then I was about to strum the guitar when unnoticeably I had swollen arms.

Heck!

“Sorry! It was my fault kung bakit ganyan yan!” she sat beside me.

“Don’t worry. I won’t blame you for this. Here! You’ll do the strum and I will do the chords”

“Okay!”

She moves a little closer to my side, the guitar was on our laps. I, doing the chords with my left hand and she, strumming the strings with her right hand.
