🐯 Chapter 44

My friends told me what really happened to Sir Charles.

Sinabi nila sakin dahil nag walk out si Tiger at di ako sinagot nung tinanong ko siya.

Sabi ni Hannah, nung sumisid daw ako ay tinawag niya si Sir Charles sa pampang through the emergency whistle na nasa life vest.

Sir Charles immediately rode the motorboat and came to rescue me.

Wala na akong malay ng maisakay sa motorboat. Hannah was the first one to check my breathing and pulse while Sir Charles operated the motorboat back to the lakeside. I was barely breathing according to Hannah.

Nang makarating sa pampang ay muli akong chineck ni Sir Charles.

I was not breathing at all so he will do the CPR.

But that was the time when Tiger and the others arrived.

Tiger grabbed Sir Charles and didn't let him do the CPR to me.

Nagulat si Sir sa pagpigil sa kanya ni Tiger. They argue.

Marco and Sky tried to calm them.

Hindi naman daw nagtagal ang pagtatalo dahil sinuntok na agad ito ni Tiger.

Hannah and Fay told me that it was the first time they saw Tiger like that.

He was like a monster, a beast who doesn't want anyone to come near my almost lifeless body.

And they told me that Tiger did the CPR, again and again, not giving up, until I open my eyes.

“Kaya nga magkahalong inis at tuwa ang nararamdaman ko ngayon para kay Tiger, eh. Nakakainis because he's so immature to be jealous during an emergency situation. And nakakatuwa because he did everything to get you back.” Nagpipigil sa katarayang sabi ni Fay.

“Fay, I understand what you feel pero as a guy, I also understand Tiger. He acted on impulse dahil nasa harap niya ang walang malay na katawan ni Keira. Kung nagworry tayo, mas matindi yung pag-aalala niya kanina. Alam naman natin na laging nakatuon kay Keira ang attention niya.” Marco tried to calm Fay.

Nagulat pa ako sa huling sinabi ni Marco.

“I agree. Ayaw pa nga niya tayong samahang kunin yung banana boat dahil mapapalayo siya kay Keira at di niya mababantayan.” Sky said.

“Y-Yeah. Inisip ko pa nga na ang OA niya. Gosh.” Medyo kalma na si Fay.

“Good thing that Tiger is there to save you.” Hannah smiled at me.

I smiled back.

Yes. Tiger is there to save me. Always.

But I still need to talk with him.

“Oh, you're finally awake. Does your face hurt, Sir Charles?” Fay said.

Tumingin siya samin at sa huli ay sakin.

He sighed in relief. “I'm glad you're okay.”

I smiled, embarrassed. “Y-Yes. Thank you for rescuing me back at the lake. A-And I'm sorry about what Tiger did to you.”

“It's alright.”

Wala akong makitang galit or inis sa kanya para kay Tiger.

“Halata ko namang sobrang nag-alala ang boyfriend mo sayo, eh.”

My eyes widen. Boyfriend?

“By the way, may kilala akong boxing coach. Baka interesado ang boyfriend mo, lakas ng suntok, eh. Knockout agad ako.”
