Chapter II: Best Buddy
Hurricane's POV
Agad kong nilapitan yung table malapit sa fridge para tingnan yung bulaklak.It was a bouquet of white roses.I guess I already know who the person is behind this.
"Hey Mister Ford Martinez,show yourself now.I know you're the one who place this thing here." I said lazily
But no one responded.Alam kong sya ang may pakana nito.Sya lang kasi ang sinabihan ko ng paborito kong bulaklak.The flower come's with a small card.Binasa ko ito at may nakasulat na
Meet me at the rooftop
Damn you Ford Martinez!
damn you!Kakahiga-higa ko lang ulit tapos paglalakadin mo na naman ako!
Pero alam kong may problema sya.Sa rooftop kami laging pumupunta kapag may problema kami at doon namin yon pinag-uusapan.
I let out a deep sigh.Ford will always be Ford,he's a tough guy.Palaban sya,masiyahin at hindi iniintindi yung mga problema nya.Pero once na hindi na nya kaya lahat.He'll always come to me and ask for some advices.
I wen't inside the bathroom first.Naghilanos muna ako at nag-toothbrush.I saw my reflection at the mirror.Hindi ko na namalayang ang payat ko na pala,lubog na yung mga mata ko at ang putla narin ng mga labi ko.
I'm gonna hit my limit anytime.
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at tinuloy ang pag-aayos.I wore my black cap and brought my ipod and earphones with me.Before leaving I checked my phone and it was only 6:00am ang aga ko palang nagising.Nakakainis kasi yung mga nurse na yon eh!
While walking down the hallway I was currently listening to Hard Times by Paramore.I've enter the elevator and pressed 6th floor.
Hard times gonna make you
wonder why you even try
Hard times gonna take you down
and laugh when you cry
These lives and I still don't know
how I even surviveI stopped the music.
Ilang saglit pa ay bumukas narin ang elevator.Hinila ko na ulit yung dextrose ko and then I saw a tall guy standing near the railings.
He was wearing a black polo with blue stripes on it.He tucked-in his polo inside his plain black fitted jeans.As usual,he's wearing the black shoes I gave to him last year.He always says that it's his favorite shoes.Buti nalang nagustuhan nya
Because he's way more too choosy than me when it comes to clothes and shoes!
"Hey Ford,what's with the flowers huh?" I smiled at him
He looked at me and he also let out a smile.But a sad one.
Kinuha nya agad yung holder ng dextrose ko at kaya agad akong tumabi sa kanya.We were here at our favorite place.At the rooftop.Soaring the cool wind and watching as the sun rises.
I heard him sighed.
Lumingon sya sakin pero nanatili parin akong nakatingin sa kawalan.
"Tell me,what's the problem?" tanong ko.Hindi parin sya nagsalita kaya nilingon ko na si Ford.Tingin ko alam ko na kung ano ang pino-problema nito.
"Kung wala kang sasabihin babalik na ako sa kwarto." sabi ko sa kanya,pero wala parin tahimik parin sya at halata sa mata nya ang pag-aalala.
Maglalakad na sana ako paalis pero nahawakan nya agad yung braso ko.
"Hurricane.Tell me,are you okay?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Ford
"Better than okay.Kung tungkol lang sa sakit ko ang pag-uusapan natin,umalis ka nalang Ford para makapag-pahinga na ako." I said seriously
"Nurse Imelda told me that you didn't take your medicines since yesterday!" naiinis na sabi ni Ford "What the hell?Did you just raised your voice in me?" I asked with a sarcastic tone
"Look,I'm sorry.I'm just worried,okay?Ayaw mo na ba talagang mabuhay?Bakit ba pinapahirapan mo ang sarili mo?" mahinahon nyang sabi "Shut up" I said with my fist clenched. "Hurricane you still have a big chance to survive your cancer!" inis nyang sigaw "Wag na wag mo akong sisigawan lalo na kung wala kang alam!" Sigaw ko rin sa kanya
"Anong hindi ko alam?" tanong nya
"Ford,your Dad visited me yesterday.He told me that it's already impossible to survive my myeloma."
"Fuck this!" sabi nya at napasabunot sa sarili.
"But he also told me that I still have atleast five months to enjoy my life.He said that I can leave this hospital and enjoy my youth." I told him with a re-assuring smile
Lumapit sya sakin at bigla nya akong niyakap.I hugged him back.I just really can't imagine myself leaving this guy alone in this world full of bitches.
Humiwalay ako sa yakap nya.Tiningnan ko yung mukha nya at nakita kong may namumuong luha sa mga mata nya.
"Hurricane,please uminom ka na ng mga gamot mo para mas tumagal ka sa five months please.I don't wan't you to leave me already." sabi nya at tuluyan nang bumagsak ang mga luha nya
I wiped away those tears in his face.
"Fine,I'll take my medicines just don't cry.Alam mong ayaw na ayaw kong umiiyak ka sa harap ko diba?"
pabiro kong sabi "Ang tigas kasi ng ulo mo!Ikaw na nga lang kaibigan ko tapos iiwan mo agad ako!" he said sabay gulo ng buhok ko "Hay nako Martinez,bumalik na nga tayo sa loob!May paiyak-iyak ka pang nalalaman!" sabi ko sa kanya"Tera na nga!Ang yabang nito parang di naman sya umiyak nung pupunta dapat ako sa U.S!" biro nya
"Shit!Stop it!!" sabi ko sabay takip sa tenga
"Hindi nga ako naka-alis non kasi sabi mo "Ford wag ka nang umalis,natatakot ako". Gusto ko pag mamamatay na ako nandito yung bestfriend ko please don't leave my side puhahahaha!Dahil ang galing mong umarte no choice ako kundi mag stay!" Natatawa nya pang kwento that's why I punched his stomach
"Ouch!May sakit ka ba talaga?!"
"I told you to stop it."
Sumakay na kami sa elevator.Ford asked me kung saan ko gustong pumunta pag naka-labas na ako
"Saan mo balak pumunta once you leave this place?" Tanong nya
"Syempre sa bahay." walang interes kong sabi
"Ganda ng sagot mo."
"Sa bahay nga!Syempre kaylangan ko munang mag-ayos ng mga ibabaon ko diba?" sarkastiko kong sabi
"Ibabaon agad iniisip mo!Hindi mo pa nga alam kung saan mo gustong pumunta eh!" inis na sabi ni Ford
"I know you can handle that Ford."
I said "Okay!I swear you'll enjoy your one week adventure with me best buddy!" He winkedSana nga maging okay ang lahat.I just wan't to go to places far from my family.
