38: Star Player 🌟 [FINAL CHAPTER]

“Here, pinabibigay ni Ate Holly.” Inilapag ni Kross ang dalawang paper bag na naglalaman ng pagkaing mula sa Holly Flavour sa center table na nasa maliit na receiving area ng presidential suite ng VIP ward na kinaroroonan namin sa hospital ni daddy. I wasn’t on Cassidy’s room, though. Nandito ako sa inookupang silid ng “asawa” ni Heaven na itinakbo rito kani- kanina lang.

The whole gang was there. Maging si Ceyx na bihirang mahiwalay sa girlfriend na si Selene ay naroon at nakikinig sa mga sentimyento ng ulol naming kaibigan na si Heaven. Dapat ay nasa tabi ako ng girlfriend ko ngayon na natutulog sa kabilang silid pero hindi ko naman masikmurang iwanan ‘tong si Heaven na mukhang kailangang iumpog sa pader para matauhan.

After our encounter with Cassidy’s mom, she was crying all throughout our drive and I was really nervous when she passed out. Halos paliparin ko ang kotse makarating lang ng mabilis dito sa ospital. Sabi ni daddy ay stressed daw ang dahilan ng pagkawala ng malay niya bukod pa sa dysmenorrhea at lagnat niya. Mali man sigurong maramdaman, but I’m starting to feel a grudge against her mom. Cassidy doesn’t deserve to be treated that way. She’s so precious that I guess I’d be willing to turn heaven and hell to see her happy. More of my protective instinct stirred up. I’d definitely protect and cherish Cassidy with my life.

“Wait, dude. Hold the trumpet.” Pagpapatigil ni L sa pagkukwento ni Heaven, “so you’re saying that you chose to save that ballerina girl first before your wife?” ‘Di makapaniwalang bulalas pa nito.

Napailing ako. Gago talaga e.

“Tone down your voice, L,” Heaven hissed, “magigising si Cielo.” Cielo is Heaven’s “wife” and you’ll know soon how it happened.

“Kung ‘di ka ba naman sampung kilo at kalahating gago, Heaven? Tama bang hayaan mong malunod ang asawa mo?” May galit na sita pa ni L dito. Frustrated na napahilamos ng mukha gamit ang palad si Heaven.

“I do not know that she can’t swim!” Diin ni Heaven sa naaaburidong tinig, “naga-away sila ni Shey and I don’t what to do. You know how I like Shey. Tapos biglang dumating si Cielo na sasabihing mag- asawa kami? Can you imagine how she messed with my life?”

“Ipapakilala ko siya sa kuya ko.” Biglang suhesyon ni Ten na nagpatahimik sa amin, “if ever she learns to like my brother then maybe she’d reconsider annulling her marriage with you. My brother’s better looking than you anyway.” Dugtong pa nito na akala mo’y nagsa- suggest lang na ipalit ang ng suka ang biniling toyo sa tindahan.

“Are you crazy?” Heaven exclaimed incredulously.

“Ikaw ang baliw, Heaven.” Napapapalatak na sagot ni Ceyx, “Paano mo siya mapipilit na makipaghiwalay kung araw- araw naman siyang na- aatached sa’yo dahil nakakulong lang siya sa mundo mo? Ten has a good point. You let her go out from your world and meet other people.”

“Cielo has a mild post traumatic disorder,” Rumi butted in and now that the Medical student is talking expect all ears at him, “Socializing is hard for her. You might notice her unusual clumsiness and you can blame it to her PTD. Noong unang beses siyang i- general check up dito ay nakita ni daddy ang mga pasa niya pati na ang mga sugat na papagaling pa lang. Even her X- ray is showing signs of broken bones that has healed overtime.”

“I- I don’t know about that. I have no idea.” Tila nalilitong sabi ni Heaven.

“Cielo requested to keep it from you. Si tita Heleia lang ang nakakaalam.” Rumi was talking about Heaven’s mom.

“Then it might take for her to heal.” Cloud concluded.

“As long as she’ll stay in a friendly environment there’d be no problem with her healing.” Tila doctor na sagot ni Rumi.
