His face had bruises. I hugged him tightly. I felt him flinch but I didn't care. He wrapped his arms around me and laid his head on my shoulder.

"Wh-what happened? Why d-didn't you c-call me? I-I was so wo-worried." I had a difficulty of talking. Tears were continually coming out of my eyes.

"2 guys came up to me. The other held a knife against my back. They wanted to get my money, phone and other valuables. I fought back, but they were too strong. Yun, binugbog nila ako." Ipinaliwanag ni Quen.

"Saan na s-sila?"

"Kinuha sila ng pulis. Ihahatid sana ako sa hospital pero dahil sinabi ko na hindi naman ganun karami ang mga bruises ko, I decided to stay. Nilagyan nalang nila ako ng mga bandages."

I hugged him again. I cupped his cheeks and heard Mr. John calling me from afar. He came to our aid and helped Quen stand up. We went inside the car and drove to the nearest hospital. I called Quen's mom and told her all that happened. She told us that we would meet in the hospital. I was siiting beside Quen. I let him rest his head on my shoulder. I held his hands with my two hands and hoped for the best.

As we reached the hospital, hinatid kaagad namin si Quen sa emergency room. Hindi na kami pumasok at pinahintay nalang sa labas. 6:30pm na. Malapit na 7. Sana maintindihan ako ni Dj na hindi ako makakapunta sa dinner. Tinawagan ko si kuya.

"Hello?"

"Oh, Kath. San ka na? Kanina ka pang hinahanap ni mommy at Dj."

"Long story. Pwede ko bang makausap si mommy?"

"Wait."

....

"Hello?"

"Mommy."

"Kath, where are you? Are you ok?"

"Mommy, nasa hospital po ako."

"What?! Nasaktan ka ba?"

"Hindi po...Si Quen po. Nabugbog po siya sa airport kanina.....Baka hindi na po ako makakapunta diyan."

"We'll go there Kath."

"Ok po."

I sat on the bences located near the emergency room, waiting to hear good news from the doctor. 20 minutes had passed and the doctor went out of the  room.

"Doc, kumusta na po si Quen?"

"Ok na siya. Pero his right leg is badly injured."

--------------------

"Kath!"

I saw mommy, kuya, Dj, and Quen's mom. Dj hugged me and asked,"Ok ka lang? Nasaktan ka ba?"

"Hindi hindi. Si Quen ang nasaktan." I said.

"Kath, Is he gonna ba ok?" tanong ng mommy ni Quen.

"Ok na po siya tita sabi ng doctor."

We patiently waited outside of the emergency room. I held Dj's hand,"Sorry kung hindi ako nakapunta sa bahay niyo. Promise, babawi ako sayo."

"Ano ka ba, ok lang noh. Kaibigan ko rin si Quen."

"Thank you talaga." I kissed his cheeks and hugged him. The doctor went out again and said that we can see Quen. I went in and saw him lying on the bed. As he saw us, he smiled. His mom hugged him, asking if he feels ok. Dj, kuya, mommy, and tita talked to him. But I didn't. I couldn't find anything to say to him. Not even a word, or ask if he feels fine. "Quen, bibili muna kami ng pagkain niyo ha? Maiwan ko muna si Kath at ang kuya niya. Ok?" says his mom. Sumama si Dj at si mommy. I kissed(cheeks) Dj goodbye.

"Kath, labas muna ako ha. Usap muna kayo." si kuya rin lumabas.

"Quen, sorry kung nangyari ito sayo."

"I don't need your pity."

"I'm not saying this because I pity you Quen. I'm not here because I pity you."

"Then why did you come to me to the airport? Why did you stay here and waited for me to be ok?"

"Why Kath?"

"I love you... I am in love with you.... I've tried to kill it, to run away from it, but I couldn't." tears were flowing down my cheeks. He deserved to know the truth. He needed to.

"Your lying."

"I'm not."

"You don't love me. You just confused because we just broke up a month ago. You love Daniel, I can see the way you look at him." He gave me a faint smile.

"You observe how I look at him. But can you never see how I look at you?"

"Kathryn."

It was the first time he said my name. He always calls me by my nickname. I can't find the urge to look at him. But he held my cheeks and turned my head to face him.

"I love you... But that doesn't mean that I am in love with you. I mean, not now. Not the way you want me to. I'm sorry." he said.

I cried. I ran outside of the room andwent down the stairs. I covered my face to avoid people to notice me. I stopped in a bench near the entrance. The pain and the agony, I think I just died inside.
