I tried to look for sheryl but she is nowhere to be found.
Huy. Hinahanap mo. Nagulat ako kasi biglang sumulpot si Jiroh.
I am looking for a friend.
Friend? Hindi ba kami friend? Syempre hindi kita friend kasi LOVE kita. Charot ang korny ko lang.
Naah. I mean..the little girl I just met a while ago.
Wala naman akong-- Hindi ko pinatapos yung sinabi niya hinila ko na siya.
Tara. Let's find her. Kung saan saan kami pumunta kasi hindi ko naman alam kung saan hahanapin yung little girl. Tumigil kami kasi hinihingal na ako.
Sino ba yang sinasabi mo?
Wait. After that, hinila ko nanaman siya at habang tumatakbo kami may nakita kaming bata na isusugod sa hospital. Napatigil kami ni Jiroh duon ko lang narealize na magkahawak na pala kami ng kamay. I blushed pero binitawan ko na yung hand niya.
Uy. Sorry. Siya naman ang nanghila sa akin. Lumapit kami sa may ambulance. Ang dami ng tao ang lumalapit at nagpapanic na yung iba. Kawawa naman yung bata.
Ate, sino po siya? Umiiyak na yung babaeng kinausap niya.
S-Si Sh-she-ryl. Napatigil ako. Jiroh looked at me disappointedly. Tinawagan ko agad si Terry.
Nagmadali kaming sumunod duon sa ambulance.
Miss. Hanggang dito ka lang po.
I have to be with her! I shouted but no one is listening to me. Nilapitan ako nung ate-atehan ni Sheryl.
Ikaw ba si Kittin? I nodded.
Kinukwento ka niya kanina sa akin. She forced a smile. I was really crying. I hugged her. Ilang oras din bago nila kami pinapasok sa room thank God she is alright.
It's killing her day by day. Hindi makasalita yung ate ni Sheryl.
We can get her operated. Right? I can donate a money just do everything for her, Doc. Please.
I am sorry but it’s spreading too fast. Umalis na yung doctor.
What kind of doctor are this people? You are being paid to do your job! Not to just watch people die! I shouted so hard. Idk why but I am really mad with them.
Ma’am. Kumalma na kayo please. I wiped my tears then I saw a movement Sheryl was waking up. Nagmadali akong lumapit sa kanya.
Hello po. Hindi niyo naman ako kailangan samahan. I hugged Sheryl.
Everything's going to be okay. She smiled.
Opo. God will do the best for everyone. Huwag ka na pong malungkot.
For you I will sweetie.
Alam niyo po masaya na ako.
Really? I smiled at her.
Kasi noong nakita kita alam kong ikaw na yung taong makikilala ko na hinding hindi ko makakalimutan. Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin. And now I have a memory that I can keep. I held her hands.
Ohh. That’s so sweet but you just need to be strong. She nodded.
You also have to be strong. She smiled and she closed her eyes.
Sheryl? Sh-sheryl?! Terry, call the doctor! Help! God please do something...
But it was too late. Time of death 5:14 pm.
I was really crying so hard. So loud. Hindi ko kasi tanggap. She was so pretty, sweet but why her? She is so kind. The way she talks to me, smiled everything in her is just too perfect.
Someone came in the room. Maybe it was her sister or terry. I hug ‘em so tight. I didn’t mind who it is but I am to depress to face this alone. I was really crying non-stop.
Okay ka lang ba? I froze. Goosebumps. The voice was familiar. I take a look at who I am hugging it…it was Jiroh.
Oh my gosh. I am so sorry. I didn’t mean.. He didn’t say a single word but instead he hugged me back.
Matagal rin kaming magkayakap and it was a relief. Jiroh being here is a big help, I feel better.
Kaya naman pala wala kayo. May ginagawa kayo dito. Louis seemed irritated. Binitawan ko yung pagka-hug k okay Jiroh.
Ugh. Sorry. I just can’t take it. All of my other friends came closer and hugged me. They are just so sweet and I really feel better. Pumunta ako ng Cr at naghilamos kasi as in ang ewan ko na. I look so ugleeeee. -_-
Calm down, kittin. Sinabi ko sa sarili ko and now I am talking to myself. When I opened the door there was Jiroh.
Ginagawa mo?
Narinig ko kasi boses mo. Lakas.
Talaga? Halla.
Joke. He giggled. Okay ka na? I nodded.
Yes. Thanks nga pala. Naligo ka nga lang sa luha.
No prob. First time ko yun.
Huh? First time?
Gave a friend a helping hug. He smiled. Sige mauna na ako.
TENGENE. Narinig niyo yuon? FRIEND? AKO? Hay nako okay n asana alam niyo yun nakayakap ko siya for 12345678 minutes. Tapos, friends lang? Anebe.
Hindi ko alam pero napaiyak ako. Shxxxt. Mahal na nga ba talaga kita Jiroh? Pasagot nga ng malaman ko.
