Matthew

Nandito ako ngayon sa St. Micheal hospital. Dinala ko kasi yung babaeng nakita ko sa bar kanina. Sinundan ko sya kasi nakita kong may inilagay na drug sa alak na iniinom nya. Maybe she's allergic to that drug, I believe that the drug is a higher dosage kaya at nahirapan ang katawan nya I handle yung drug.

"How is he Tito Kevin?" I asked. Oo tama kaya nang iniisip, he is my uncle. And he is one of the best doctor I had encountered. Sya ang may hawak ng case ko. Not literally case as in kaso, may sakit ako. A stage 4 cancer.

"She's fine now and under observation," I don't know but I felt relief when I heard that, "How are related to Miss Shey Lopez?" my uncle asked.

So her name is Shey Lopez huh. What a cute name. It suits her.

"Eh kayo Tito?? How did you know her??" I asked out of curiosity.

"I asked first so answer my question first," he demanded.

*Signs*

"Nakita ko sya kanina sa bar, nag iinom. Then nilapitan ko sya, nag suggest ako na ako na ang maghahatid sa kanya kasi lasing na sya. Then she lost her conciousness kaya dinala ko sya dito sayo," I explained, "Now it's time for you to answer my question Tito," dugtong ko pa.

"Well I'm their family doctor,"he says, "Based on our observations, she has been drugged. And that is the cause why she lost her conciousness. May alam ka ba dito Lewis Matthew??" pinaningkitan nya ako ng mata.

"What?!!" I exclaimed, "She has been drugged by those waiters in the bar. Siguro allergic sya sa drug na nilagay nila o kaya naman napadami ang dosage na nilagay nung waiter kaya sya nahimatay kanina,"

"No, di yun dahil sa dosage nung drug. Pareho kayo ng sakit at ako din ang may hawak ng case nya. Kanina nya lang nalaman. Kaya siguro sya nagpunta ng bar kasi di nya matanggap yung sakit nya," my jaws dropped from what I've heard.

So that explains kung bakit sya nahihirapan huminga kanina. I pity her. I know what she feels, I understand her.

Sandali kaming natahimik. Tanging pag hinga ko lang ang nararamdaman ko. Maya Maya pa ay nagising na sya.

"Hmm,"

Nagmulat sya ng mata at dumako sakin at kay Tito ang tingin nya.

"Doc Sy," she whispered. Maybe she's still weak.

"Alam mo naman ang kalagayan mo,diba hija?" -Tito Kevin

Tanging pag iwas lang ng tingin ang nagawa nya.

"I suggest na wag ka munang uminom at ma stress. Lalong makakasama yan sayo," Tito Kevin says.

"Tss. Para san pa?! Mamamatay din naman ako eh," she bitterly said.

Di naka imik si Tito Kevin. Hanggang sa nag decide sya na iwan kami dito. Ilang minuto din kaming natahimik.

"Salamat pala," panimula nya, "Thank you for bringing me to the hospital," she said then smiled sadly. I smiled at her too.

"Your welcome," I answered back. Natahimik ulit kami at nakaramdam ako ng awkwardness.

"I'm Shey Lopez, and you are??"
"Lewis Matthew Kim is the name. Feel free to call me everything you want," I smiled at her while saying those words. She smiled too, but this time, sincere na.

"Then I'll call you Matt. Pwede?" tumango ako bilang sagot.

"Ahm.. tungkol sa sakit mo..." napatingin sya sakin habang sinasabi ko yun, "I know what you feel. I understand you,"

"You mean..."
"Yes," I smiled bitterly, "I also have the same cancer as yours," natahimik ulit kami.

"Maybe we're meant to be," she joked. I laughed and agreed at her, "I want to spend the rest of my life traveling around the world," she said.

"Traveling?! Sounds great. What about we travel together??" I suggest. She smiled and nodded as her answer.
