Leise's POV

"Chris! Stop!"

"Chris!"

"Kumalma ka pre!"

Teka. Kilala ko yung mga boses na yun ah.

"I don't fucking care! I can destroy this hospital in just a snap!"

Ano bang nangyayari? Gusto kong buksan yung mga mata ko pero hindi ko magawa.

"Chris! Wag mo na pahirapan ang sarili mo! Kami!"

"LEAVE!"

"Chris—"

"I SAID LEAVE!"

Sandaling natahimik ang paligid.

*fading footsteps*

*door opens* *door closed.*

*a creaking sound from a chair nearby*

"I-i just can't.."

"I did my best. I did my best to save you. Why? Come back. Please Leise comeback."

Naramdaman kong hinawakan niya ang kamay ko.

"D-don't leave us."

"Don't leave me."

When I heard that. My heart started to race. I moved my fingers from the hand he's holding. I can hear the a beeping sound of a machine. And him screaming for help.

"DOC! DOC! SHE'S AWAKE! DOC!"

I heard the door opened and several footsteps running towards my direction.

"Excuse me sir."

I felt his hands loosen his grasp on my hands.

No. Don't go away.

"The patient's heart's is going too slow."

"Give her a pump."

"Doc isn't that too dangerous? We might lose the patient."

"The heart is going to stop. Make it fast!"

"DO YOUR BEST TO SAVE HER!"

"Sir, calm down. We're doing our best."

"Doc, we're losing her. Again."

"NO!"

The same hands I felt a moment ago. Soft and warm. But this time, it's sweating.

"Doc, the patient."

"Yeah I can see it too."

"Leise, please. Please wake up."

I can hear some girls, crying nearby. I move my fingers and held the hand of this man tightly.

I slowly opened my eyes. At first, I saw blurry images but after some time, I saw the doctors entering and leaving the room with some equipments. Pero may nurse pa ring natira sa loob ng kwarto ko. I saw the person whose holding my hand tightly than before. I caught him hurriedly wiping his tears.

Nakita ko na. Hindi mo na kailangang itago.

Napangiti ako pero agad ding nawala ng may maramdaman akong masakit. Napangiwi ako. Hindi ako makahinga. Naninikip ang dibdib ko.

Agad naman nila yong napansin. "Hey Leise what's wrong?"

Hinawakan ko ang dibdib ko at sumagap ng hangin. Para akong hinihika.
