Tú Eres Mi Sol

LXXI

Grabe umabot na tayo ng Chapter 71 at # 2 pa din tayo! Akala ko dati mga 10 chapters lang o 15 chapters lang ang kaya kong isulat. Thank you sa inyo na hindi nagsasawang magbasa at magcomment. Naiiyak pa din ako at hindi makapaniwala.

Rose went to the kitchen to get Dei her favourite chocolate cake.

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi na it's bring your mother to your date day?" Dei whispered to Richard

"Nagtext ako. I said "ABORT""

Dei checks her phone. "Ano ka ba, ang text mo About. Akala ko lang nagkamali ka."

"Must be the predictive text. Dei, I love my mom but I'm deathly scared of her at this very moment. Feeling ko ganito ang tinurukan ng truth serum."

"Ako din, RJ."

They were holding hands under the table.

"What are you kids whispering about?" Rose asked, the two drop each other's hands immediately.

"Ah, Auntie. I was asking Richard here kung alam niya yung recipe ng tapa na ito. It's really good."

"Hija, sige, I'll ask Yaya Virgie. Even Ricardo was asking about it earlier."

There was a few seconds of quiet

"Dei, Hija, I thought you liked the tapa. There's more in the kitchen. You're eating so little. Eat some more. I'm not used to you eating so little. Are you feeling well?"

"I am, Auntie." She tries to eat but her hands were trembling so much. 

"Auntie, please excuse me. I'll just go to the washroom."

Dei tries to stand up and then she faints. Richard was so attuned to her that he was able to catch her.

"Albert, what's wrong with Dei?" Rose asks her nephew, Albert, who is a GP.

"Auntie,RJ, it's nothing serious. I think she just didn't eat on time, as confirmed by Yaya Pinky, the last time she ate was 4 in the afternoon yesterday and hasn't had food since. Mag-9 na. That's 16 hours without food. Tell her to eat on time. She should wake up soon."

Dei woke up ten minutes after.

"Dei, buti naman gising ka na. Nag-alala kaming lahat sa iyo." Yaya Virgie said

"Sorry po, Yaya."

"Sige, eto kumain ka muna." 

"Yaya, nasaan tayo. Di ba kwarto ni RJ to? Bawal kumain dito. Sa baba na lang tayo."

"Siya ang nagdala nito dito"

"Po? Asan po si RJ, Yaya?"

"Umalis. Uminit yung ulo noong sinabi ni Albert na kaya ka daw nahimatay kasi hindi ka kumakain."

"Sorry po, Yaya." Dei became somber

"Dei, babalik din yun. Alam mo naman si RJ, kahit bata pa kayo protective talaga yan sa iyo. Kahit nga ata kagat ng lamok ayaw niya na makagat ka e. Naalala mo dati sa playground, noong may tumulak sa iyo at nagkasugat ka. Galit na galit si RJ di ba? Ano ba kayo noon, 6 ka ata noon e."

"Yaya, hinahanap ni RJ yung bata tapos nakipag-away siya kahit mas malaki yung bata sa kanya."

"Oo. Bumili lang kami ni Pinky ng ice cream niyo, pagbalik namin si RJ and dumi na!"
