Cae
How I wish na sana, we're still at Italy, relaxing and enjoying the ambiance they had there but sad truth, we're not at kakauwi lang namin sa Pinas a day before yesterday and now, here I am, looking grumpy as ever.
Please tell me, ba't may subject pang PE? Not that I hate sports, I just hate all those moving and exercising and stretching and all! Nakakapagod, mas gugustuhin ko pang makinig sa mga nakakadugong lessons ng Algebra than this!
And the worst part, for today's lesson, we'll be playing volleyball! Great, just great! Ni hindi nga ako marunong mag-spike ng maayos, maglaro pa kaya?
"Caeleah, you're spacing out! Mag-
focus ka nga, huwag kang tumunganga d/yan!" one of my team mates reprimanded me, nandito na kami sa gitna ng gym playing at sa kasamaang palad, nabibilang ako sa first batch.
I positioned myself, nasa kabilang team ang bola and guess kung sino ang mag-spa-spike? It's Sofia and yes, she's on the other team so basically, magkalaban kami.
Unlike me, masakit mang aminin pero Sofia's really good at this. She's a volleyball player so no doubt na talo ang team namin ngayon.
After knowing the truth na kapatid ko pala siya, ako na mismo ang lumayo sa kanya.
I look at her and coincidentally, nakatingin rin siya sa'kin, she grinned at me, umiwas ako ng tingin at hindi pinansin iyon.
Something's not right.. Before I can even notice it, may tumamang bola sa dibdib ko, causing me to fall on the ground. What the?!!
"CAELEAH!" I heard them screamed my name, napapikit ako dahil masyadong napalakas ang impact.
Si Sofia, sinadya niya 'yon! She aimed for me, nagmulat ako ng mga mata at napapalibutan na ako ngayon ng mga team mates ko, asking me if im okay, tumango naman ako at dahan-dahang tumayo kahit na nahihilo ako.
"I'm fine.." I said even tho my chest hurts, tumingin ako sa kabilang gawi ng gym and Sofia is now looking worried, she mouthed 'sorry' pero halata namang sinadya niya iyon.
I composed myself as I took a deep breath, gusto niyang maglaro? Pwes, maglalaro kami.
Ate Ara always taught me na kapag may umapi sa'kin, huwag na huwag akong magpapatalo. Baka nakalimutan niya? I3m Caeleah Eris, Eris, the Goddes of strife and warfare; discord. I'll do everything to get even.
The game continued at kung sinuswerte nga naman, nasa akin ang bola. I'll hit her gaya ng ginawa niya sakin, akala niya masaya ang matamaan ng bola sa dibdib? No, it's not!
My gaze went to Sofia as I raised the ball and hit it with my full force. Tumahimik ang buong gym at kaagad namang napasigaw ang mga kaklase ko nang tamaan si Sofia sa ulo nito then she passed out. Seriously?!
I was aiming for her chest, not for her head! She could've move away pero 'di niya ginawa 'yon, nagpatama siya!!
Ang mga lalaki kong kaklase ay binuhat siya upang dalhin sa infirmary, nang dumaan sila sa harap ko, bumilis bigla ang tibok ng puso ko nang makita ko ang dugo na tumutulo mula sa ulo ni Sofia.
Ba.. bakit may dug.. dugo? What have I done??

"Hi Mrs. Muhlach, anong himala ang dumating at naisipan mo akong dalawin dito pagkatapos ng ilang dekada?" Darah said habang nakikipag-beso ako sa kanya.
She's my OB and she's also one of my closest friend, 'di nga lang kami madalas nagkikita ngayon for we both have hectic schedules.
"Dalawin? Who said na dinadalaw kita, hindi naman si Darah Salermo ang sadya ko eh." wika ko na ikinanguso niya, "I'm here to see Dra. Darah, is she here?" dagdag ko pa at agad na nanlaki ang mga mata niya, napagtanto niya siguro ang pakay ko.
"Buntis ka?!" she asked in disbelief, tumango naman ako na ikinangiti niya.
"Iyon oh! Galing ni Muhlach, wala pa ring kupas!" she commented while smiling.
"Sinabi mo pa, I wasn't really expecting for this you know.." sambit ko.
"Hindi na iyon importante, basta ang importante, healthy iyang baby niyo!" aniya at tila kinikilig pa, "At isa pa, if you don't mind, anong posisyon ang ginamit niyo ng ma-try ko?" she asked frankly na ikinaubo ko.
"Gaga, i-ultrasound mo na nga lang ako!" I said instead, avoiding the topic.
Darah smiled mischievously as she crossed her arms, "Di ko gagawin iyon hanggang 'di mo sinasabi kung anong posisyon nga ba." pagbanta niya.
Umirap ako as I stood up and grab my bag, "K. Madaming doctor sa ospital na ito, I can always find
one."
Akmang tatalikod na ako pero agad rin niya akong pinigilan, "Ito naman! Lei, 'di ka na mabiro! Sabi ko nga eh tara na! Sayang ang bayad mo, pambili ko pa iyan ng gatas ng mga anak ko!" she said while chuckling. Loka-loka talaga 'to, as if may anak siya.
After going thru some procedures, dahan-dahan ako humiga sa hospital bed as what Darah instructed me to do so, she applied a gel to my tummy while I'm seriously starring at the monitor.
Here it goes..

I immediately opened my eyes when the door opened, revealing Aga na parang tumakbo ng ilang kilometro, he looked at me and went to my direction as he kissed my forehead.
"How did it go, babes?" he asked habang inaalayan ako na maupo, I smiled at him.
"Good. Darah went out to see the results." I answered, may trabaho kasi siya and his schedule was full, nakakabilib lang at naisipan niya pang humabol dito.
"Uy lovebirds, ito na oh!" Darah went inside as she told us the results.
Four weeks na raw and if I remembered it right, we were at Boracay that time. 'Di nga ako nagkamali sa pagsabi na magical talaga ang AM Island!
After some reminders from Darah, tuluyan na kaming lumabas ng clinic, we are both walking thru the hallways of St. Peter's Hospital not until Aga's phone rang kaya we both stopped.
"Hello? Sino 'to?... ANO? SAANG OSPITAL? Okay, I'll be there!" he said over the phone, he looks furious and damn worried. Anyare?
"What happened babes? Sino iyon?" I asked.
"It was Krystel, si Sofia daw, sinugod sa ospital. Her head was bleeding." he answered na ikinanlaki ng mga mata ko.
"What? Eh puntahan natin siya? Saang ospital ba raw babes?"
"Coincidentally, dito rin daw and no babes, umuwi ka na at kasama mo naman ang driver natin. Hindi kita gustong ma-stress, let me handle this." he said as he give me a quick embrace, as much as I want to come with him to check on Sofia, 'di na natuloy at pinauwi niya na ako.
I hope she's fine..

Nakarating ako sa bahay and I was surprised to see Cae sitting at the staircase habang nakayuko, magulo ang buhok niya and she's still wearing her PE uniform. What happened to her?
I went to her direction as I stood up in front of her, "Caeleah." I called since she didn't notice my presence.
Umangat siya ng tingin at napakunot ang noo ko upon seeing her eyes, swollen. Did she cried?
"What happened to you? Umiyak ka ba?" tanong ko at umupo sa tabi niya, she looked at me na para bang may gusto siyang sabihin but she's just too hesitant to do so.
"Ma.. Sofia was rushed to the hospital because of me." she said softly and I was shocked upon hearing it. Wait.. what?!
"Ha? Ano iyon?" I asked.
Instead of answering me, she bursted, out crying. "Dad will surely reprimand me for this, the blame is on me after all!"
I don't know what happened dahil hindi niya naman sinabi so I pulled her into a tight hug.
She needs to explain kung ano nga ba ang nangyari, Sofia's head was bleeding so I guess it's something serious... or not?
