LOVE'S STATUS

chapter 21

AUDREY’S POV

“Goodmorning.” Bungad saken ng isang lalaki nang lumabas ako sa kwarto.

It’s already morning and my head hurts because of crying for how many hours last night.

My eyes are swollen too.

“Kevin?” nasa labas lang siya nakangiti saken.

“Umalis si Kia. Kasama niya si Andrew. Pumunta sila sa ospital. Hindi ka na nila ginising. Kung gusto mong pumunta sa ospital, sasamahan kita.” He said habang papasok siya ng bahay.

Umupo naman ako sa kahoy na hagdan.

I lean my elbows on my thigh and I covered my palm on my face.

The tears start to fall again.

I thought everything was just a dream.

Hindi pala.

Bry is already dead.

“Audrey,” I heard Kevin mentioned my name.

I looked at him and I could see from his eyes that he’s hurt too.

Lumapit siya saken. Tumabi siya saken and he put his arms around me.

Umiyak pa ako lalo dahil sa ginawa niya.

“There’s good news.” Kevin said all of a sudden.

Napatingin naman ako sa kanya.

Biglang lumakas ang tibok ng puso ko when I looked at his eyes that near.

Medyo lumayo ako sa kanya ng kunti to keep my heart calm.

“Anong good news?” tanong ko sa kanya.

“Bry’s heart will be saved.” He said with a half smile.

“What do you mean?” sabi ko na nakakunot ang noo.

“Someone is in need of a heart transplant. And his heart will be donated.” My eyes widened after hearing what he said.

“His heart? Di ba patay na si Bry? Tinanggal na ang oxygen kagabi, di ba?” paano magagamit ang heart ni Bry if it’s not beating anymore?

“Hindi natuloy kagabi kasi may nakiusap sa parents ni Bry.” He said.

“Who? And why?” I said stil having the wrinkles in my forehead.

“Lourie. Remember her?” he said.

“Lourie? Yong babae kagabi na sumali rin sa drag race? Eh di ba umuwi na sila noon?” I really have so many questions in my mind.
