Marcus' POV

"Akala ko ba you'll only be there for a week?" I asked Emily over the phone. Nanghihina pa rin ako pero pinilit ko'ng bumangon.

"What are you talking about? Nasa Maynila na kami nung Friday pa." Aniya.

"What? Aliyah hasn't gone home yet."

"Ha? Pano'ng nangyari yon? Nauna sila ni..."

"Nino...?"

"Ni...Luke." Her voice stiffened. My shoulders fell.

"I think I have heard enough. Thanks."

"Shane... I will call Luke to confirm kung nandyan na sila."

"Okay. Balitaan mo ko, please. I've been calling Aliyah but it cannot be reached."

"I will update you. Anyway, how is your condi-"

I hang up immediately upon realizing she will ask about me again. I know what will happen kaya hindi ko na sya pinatapos pa.

I heaved a sigh and massaged my temple. Pagkarinig na pagkarinig ko palang ba magkasama sila ni Luke ay sumakit na naman ang ulo ko. Stress really do kills.

Nasa States na si Khen ngayon. My surgery would have been 3days ago but I postponed it. Kakahintay kay Aliyah.

Naisip ko na'ng bumalik sa barrio para sunduin sya but I stopped myself. I was not better with the medication, it was actually even worse.

I sat down at the edge of my bed as I start to feel nauseus again.

Oh god. Not now. It's 3pm and I need to fetch Savannah in playschool.

"Ugh..." Napahawak ako sa sintido ko. In a few more second, I am in so much pain again. Napahawak ako sa sikmura ko nang maramdaman kong parang bumabaligtad na naman iyon.

I rush to the toilet and threw up everything I ate for lunch.

Parang nilalamukos ang sikmura ko habang sumusuka ako. Napaluhod ako sa sahig sa kawalan ko ng lakas.

"Oh god." Even vomiting hurts.

I took my mouthwash and rinsed.

Then I grabbed my painkillers' cannister and drank a pill from it.

Nang mahimasmasan ako ay tinignan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin.

Bumagsak na ang katawan ko. My share of sleepless night is also visible now.

How many times over the week have I almost blacked out?

My nausea and vomiting is worsening. My migraines have become frequent. It's true, Khen is right. I need to move fast.

I need to be strong for my daughter too.

"Marcus Shane Santidad. Fuck. You can't die yet." I said with a stern to my own reflection.

Maging si Savannah ay nakakahalata na dinadaing ko. Soon enough I won't be able yo hide this anymore.

Nang tumalab na ang pain killer ay doon na ko nag ayos para sunduin si Savannah.

I have been outside the playschool for about 10 minutes, nakakapagtaka na wala pa si Sav gayon'g nakalabas na ang mga kaklase niya. I walked inside the playschool. May mangilan ngilang bata pa naman don pero wala si Savannah.
