X.

I woke up with a heavy feeling. Ang sama sama ng pakiramdam ko ang I feel like I just want to lay on my bed whole day. But I can't do that ofcourse. I still have classes!

I glance at my wall clock and saw that its already 7:30am. I should be getting ready but I feel like I'm glued to my bed.

"Zoe..." I heard manang's voice.

"Po?"

"Bangon na. Baka malate ka sa klase mo."

"Opo." I sat down and I felt dizzy. Siguro ay dahil hindi nanman ako nakatulog ng maayos kagabi. I keep on calling him but he doesn't answer my calls. I askked Maxine if she knows where Ridge is. She told me that Warren and Ridge were together. Hinayaan ko nalang dahil baka nga mainit talaga ang ulo ni Ridge. Mahirap pa namang suyuin yon kapag tinopak.

I forced myself to go to the bathroom. Kailangan ko nang kumilos! Pagkatapos kong magshower ay pumunta ako sa sink para sana magtoothbrush nang makaramdam ako ng pagkasuka. Ano ba ito?

Halos ilabas ko na pati internal organs ko! Pwede bang umabsent nalang?

Lumabas ako ng cr para makapagbihis na. Iinom nalang ako ng gamot bago pumasok sa school. Baka sakaling gumaan yung pakiramdam ko.

"Pa, where's Mama?" I asked my Papa while we're eating breakfast.

"Nasa kwarto, nagpapahinga." I just nodded. Binaba nito ang newspaper niyang binabasa at sumipsip sa kape nito. "Zoe.." I looked at him. "Magsstart na ang chemo ng mama mo next week." I just nodded. Waiting for him to continue. "We'll fly to America the following week." I bit my lower lip. What am I going to do?

"We as in tayong lahat?" I asked using a small voice.

"If you want to come with us." I blinked. "Just tell me if you don't want to come. I'll let you stay here with manang."

"I'll think about it, Pa."

"So no more beaches this summer." He tried to smile.

"Okay lang po. Mas importante si Mama."

I finished my breakfast. Umakyat ako kay Mama para magpaalam. She told to ask our driver to bring me to school because I'm not feeling well. Hindi pwedeng umabsent dahil finals ko na next week. Friday naman today, titiisin ko nalang. Bukas walang pasok kaya makakapagpahinga ako.

Isang major subject lang ako ngayon and thank God nasurvive ko siya. Hindi manlang gumaan yung pakiramdam ko. Lalo pa atang bumigat.

Palabas na ako ng classroom nang biglang umikot ang paningin ko. I blinked a couple of times to focus my sight. Unti unti dumidilim ang panginin ko. At humihina ang pandinig ko.

"Zoe!!" That's the last thing I heard and everything went black.

I heard voices. I want to open my eyes but my eyelids are so heavy.

"Chris, karapatan niyang malaman to!" That's Maxine's voice.

"Gurl, antayin nalang natin si Zoe okay? Chill."

"Anong chill? Seryoso to Chris. Hindi to biro."

I tried my best to open my eyes.

"Wait. May malay na si Zoe!" And I felt someone held my hand. "Zoe??"

"Hmm.." I moaned and open my eyes. Puro puti. I looked around and found that I am in a hospital room. Lumingon ako kay Chris na hawak ang kamay ko.
