II. ALL THINGS WILL. . PASS?
"Son, here's your breakfast. Kumain ka ng kumain anak, you're getting thinner." Mom said but I still do not mind her. Two days. Two fucking days had passed but I'm still in this no-frills bed. I can't stand up due to some unknown reason. I want to see her, I want to talk to her l. I want to embrace her and tell her to wake up. But that would never happen because she was gone and that's because of me. I kill her. Wala na 'yung babaeng mahal ko.
I just closed my eyes and try to sleep 'cause I think sleeping is the only way to reduce the pain but it does not. Every time as I wake up, I have no hope. I can't appreciate my existence, my life. Everything is doomed.
Hours has passed but still, nothing is happening. My body was too heavy maybe because of those damn medicine that was being injected into me. Napag-isipan kong manuod nalang ng TV pero wala din naman akong maintindihan sa mga pinapanuod ko. While watching this shit, Mom suddenly spoke and said she would go home to get some clothes. I just nod at her and she kissed my forehead.
"Magpagaling ka anak, Cassy missed you so much." She said while holding my hand. I looked at her and fake a smile.
"My body's fine, Mom but my heart? It will never be fixed." I said while removing my Mom's hand off me. "Tell Cassy I missed her too." Tumango lang siya at dire-diretso nang lumabas ng pinto.
"Hey, bastard! I saw that." Nagulat naman ako nang may biglang nagsalita at nakita ko na kakalabas pa lang ni Elijah sa banyo. Fuck, I'm having a serious heart attack because of this jerk.
"If you're planning to scare me well, you won." Sabi ko habang nakatingin sa kanya ng masama. Sino ba namang hindi maiinis sa pang-gugulat niya.
"Hey, hey, hey! Chill okay? I ain't planning to scare you but anyway, that act was rude."
"What act?" I asked him 'cause I can't understand this dumbass. He just smiled and took some apple on the fridge. Woah, feel at home?
"You want?" I shrugged. "Hindi mo naman kase kailangang magalit sa mundo, bro." Panguna niya. Here we go again. Seems like he knows everything.
"We're already done with this, right?"
"Are we?" I grimace. Something's wrong with this man. Is he that hard-headed?
"Ewan ko sa'yo. Masakit nga kasi Elijah. Can't you see it now? My life's so miserable." He just laughed and hit me on the back of my head. Napahawak ako sa sentido ko dahil nakaramdam ako ng kaunting hilo.
"Are you awake?" He asked.
"Aw, isn't it obvious? If this thing is just a dream? I would be glad. But, hell! Obviously, this ain't bro." Sigaw ko sa kan'ya. I'm not ready for this nonsense conversation. Paulit-ulit nalang, parang sipon. Dagdagan mo pa ng pagbatok niya.
"Sa una lang 'yan masakit. You can count on me. Always." He said while eating some slice of pineapple pie.
"How could you be fine and eat like a fuckin' dumbass while seeing me so weak like this?" Tinawanan nanaman niya ulit ako at hinagis sa'kin ang isang sliced ng pie na kinakain niya. Can you please send this man into the nearest mental hospital? Baka hindi ko na kayanin at ako na magtanggal ng utak nito.
