🍸 BitterSweet and Strange 🍸

I took her into a private room. The least I could do to make it up to her somehow. Sabi ng doctor, mayamaya lang daw ay magiging na siya. I just have to wait.

There were police officers who conducted an investigation of the incident. They've got my statement, and since Mae was not yet awake, they refrained from it in the meantime. Sinabi nilang I-inform ko na lang sila once na nagising na si Mae. I assured them that I'll do it. Anyway, I'm not bothered paying for damages. But if Mae will still wants to file a case against me, I guess I need to talk to her about that.

I know, I deserve that 'coz I was reckless. But I don't think that it is still necessary for me to spend time behind bars. I mean, gagawin ko naman ang lahat-lahat, babayaran ang mga dapat bayaran, her wrecked motorcycle, hospital bills, medicines and such. 'Wag lang talaga akong makukulong. I can't imagine my life if that happens.

I sigh. I check my phone only to see my sister's multiple calls. I wasn't able to answer it because I was spacing out. Hanggang ngayon naman ay natutulala pa rin ako. Iniisip ko kung ano bang mangyayari kapag nagising na si Mae. I know that she's nice, but can she still be nice after what happened that almost brought her to death?

Argh!

I start dialing my sister's number. I guess I have to inform her now to lessen her worries.

"Vash! What have you done!" Pasigaw na sabi niya. As expected, that's her own way to say that she's worried.

"I'm fine, Jeia. Si Mae... 'Yong ex ng kaibigan mo. S-siya 'yong nabangga ko." I admit.

"What?! W-where are you?"

I told her the hospital's name. She ensured that she's gonna go here to talk to me about what happened, personally. May ginagawa rin kasi ito at hindi ito pwedeng mag-ingay nang mag-ingay kaya hihintayin ko na lang siya.

"Hmm... Mmmm..."

Narinig ko ang impit na ungol na iyon kaya napatingin ako kay Mae. When she moves, I instantly get up. Nilapitan ko siya as she gains consciousness. "Mae..."

She opens her eyes and got surprised to see me in front of her. "A-asan a-ko?" She barely said.

"You're in a hospital, Mae. I'm sorry. Nabangga kita." I said, guilty.

Nakunot ang noo niya at saglit na napaisip. Maybe because of the impact, that's why she's having a hard time remembering.

"Err... It's fine. I guess, you don't have to think about it for the meantime." Sabi ko na lang. Baka kasi sumakit lang ang ulo niya.

"No, I remember it. And, uhh... Ako... ako dapat ang mag-sorry. I shouldn't have driven that motorcycle. Alam mo, kasalanan ko rin naman 'to. Ang tigas kasi ng ulo ko.." She admits, which gave me relief.

"Uhmm... I guess we're both sorry for each other. Anyway, since you're the one who has been affected the most, I'll just take the responsibility. Ako ng bahala sa hospital bills mo at sa pagpapaayos mo ng motor." Pag-ako ko. Well, a little charity for good karma.

"N-nakakahiya naman. Kaya ko namang magbayad, e." She refused.

"I insist. Besides, Jeia is on her way here. Mas lalong hindi ka makakatanggi sa babaeng 'yon."

And there strikes horror in her eyes. "D-did you... did you... uhh.."

Inilingan ko na siya hindi pa man tapos ang kanyang sinasabi. "If you're worried about your ex-boyfriend, I don't think Jeia will take him with her." I affirmed.
