Chapter 7
"Sige dad, thank you po", when she woke up she found herself in a room covered in white.
"I'm back here again", she told herself. She tried to remember something. She tried to remember the last thing that had happened. This isn't the first time this ever happened. According to her doctor they were expecting a greater injury. Pero wala ulit siyang injury but a minor scratch found at her right arm. Which she got from landing on her right side.
"Hmm, that's weird?", she wondered. "I got hit by a car before but I was unconcious after that. And this time around I'm again hit by a car now and I only suffered a scratch?", she asked herself. She lied down. Looked at the ceiling, looked at the
wall and looked again at the door. She just can't explain how and why. Then she remembered something. There was this whisper. Everytime na bago siya madisgrasya ay meron siyang naririnig na bulong ngunit kapag hahanapin niya sa paligid ay wala naman tao sa kanyang paligid. And there when the accident occur.
She tried to think more and think hard but there isn't something that match the logic. She even remembered the blurry face but can't remember whos he/she was. And after that everything goes black. Tumigil lamang siya nang maramdaman ang pagsakit ng kanyang ulo.
Di siya nagtagal sa hospital. It just took her to stay for three days and aftwerwards told that she can go home. On her way out of her room ay dun na lamang siya sinalubong ng kanyang mga kaibigan.
"Wow! Okay ka na?", si Chelsie.
"We're worried about you", si Zoey naman. Tumango na lamang siya para sumagot sa mga kaibigan.
Hind kasi nakadalaw ang mga kaibigan dahil during that time na nadisgrasya siya ay examination week ng university nila. "Have you heard the news?"
"Na?"
"Naospital din dito si Ethan a couple of hours after ka naisgugod."
"Oo nga. Balita nga na pinag-initan daw siya nila Scott after ka nadisgrasya eh."
"What!", gulat niyang sabi. Agad naman siyang pinigilan ng kanyang ama nang malaman kung anu ang nais niyang gawin. Ngunit napapayag niya rin ito nang di nagtagal. "Saan room daw siya?"
"301", sabay na sagot ng dalawa niyang kaibigan. Agad naman nilang tinungo ang silid. Pagdating nila'y nasilayan nila ang binata na nakahiga at natutulog. Nagtaka naman sila dahil walang nagbabantay sa kanya dun. Nagmulat naman ng mata ang binata nang maramdaman na may tao sa kanyang silid.
"What happened to you?", puno ng pag-aalalang tanong niya sa binata.
"Why do you need to know?" sagot naman nito sa kanya.
"Binisita ka na nga ganyan ka pa?"
"I don't need visitors anyway", nagwalk out naman ang kanyang ama sa narinig. Sumunod na rin lumabas ang dalawa pang body guard.
"Ang taray mo naman. Nag effort na nga si friend para makita ka tapos ganyan lang isasalubong mo sa kanya?", pagtataray ni Zoey.
"I guess you're in the wrong room. Oh I forgot. Your bf is not here. Try visiting him for a change", dahil sa sinabi nito'y naglabasan naman na ang dalawa niyang kaibigan sa inis.
"They did this to you?", pagtatanong niyang muli.
"Nope. This happened because of my carelessness."
"Can you share what happened?"
"I just fell that's all." According to what she sees she interpret it na may bali ang left leg ng binata.
Yun kasi ang may cask and pansin niyang hirap din nitong igalaw. "Could you leave now? I'm going back to my sleep. Please tell your dad thanks for the visit", at nagbalot na ito ng kumot. Dahan-dahan naman siyang nagtungo sa pintuan at lumabas.
**********************************************************************************
"Are you alright?", tanong ni Scott nang dumalaw ito sa bahay nila Zhyrie.
"Yeah I'm fine", maikling sagot lang naman niya. It's been a week after the incident. Because the doctor thought that she got stressed over a set of things. The doctor adviced her to skip from class to rest. And a week off after being discharged from the hospital made Scott worried that's why he went to her place to clear things up.
"I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Maybe I did something that pushed you into this."
"Pushed me? It was an accident", pagpapaliwanag niya. Tatayo na sana siya ngunit pinigilan siya nito.
"According sa mga nakakita parang may malalim ka daw na iniisip nung nangyari ang disgrasya.
We had a quarrel by that time so then I thought maybe I did something that shouldn't", pagpapaliwanag din ng binata.
He's right. There is something bothering her that time. But even she can't remember what.
"Sorry na please", muling paghingi ng paumanhin ng binata. "I promise to make it up to you. Kapalit ng mga mali na nagawa ko dati. I know there is something that I did that is hurting you bad. And I'm sorry for that. Could you forgive me?"
"I don't know."
"I don't need your answer now. Think it over. By the way", sabay kuha sa isang set ng bulaklak mula sa likuran nito. "These are for you. These would help you to regain yourself. Take a lot of rest. I'm going now", at tumayo na ito at nagtungo na sa pintuan at tuluyan na itong umalis. Nagpaalam naman ito bago tuluyang lumabas ng gate. Alam nitong nakadungaw siya sa bintana. Nakangiti naman siyang kumaway dito.
