Chapter 53

"Good morning, may I speak with Ms. Sunshine Dela Fuente?" said the girl on the other line

"This is her. Who's this?" I asked

"Hi, this is Roxanne calling from Dr. Santos' office. Your results are already here and the Dr. Santos would like to talk to you. Will you be able to come here at 10 am?"

My heart pounded as soon as I heard the doctor's name. I went to the hospital the other day without letting anyone know, not even Thunder. I was so worried when my headache persisted for a couple of days. Paminsan-minsan ay sumasakit ang ulo ko, pero minsan ay nagiging consecutive days ang pananakit nito. I did my research first, but I got worried when I saw some horrifying results of my symptoms that's why I decided to consult a doctor. May mga tests silang ginawa sa akin noong pumunta ako at sinabihan ako ng doctor na tatawagan na lang nila ako pag natanggap na nila ang resulta.

"Hello? Ms. Sunshine, are you still there? If you can't make it, we can schedule this afternoon or another day if that's what's convenient to you." she politely suggested

"10 am is fine. I'll be there" my voice was shaking

"Okay. See you later, Ma'am. Goodbye."

"Thanks. Bye"

I WAS dazed after I talked to Dr. Santos. My hands won't stop from shaking because of what I learned. I have so many questions inside my head, but I'm unable to say them out loud because of shocked. Hindi ko alam kung sino ang tatakbuhan ko. Hindi ko alam kung sinong pagsasabihan ko ng situation. Natatakot ako. Ayoko silang saktan dahil sa balitang nalaman ko.

Tulala lang ako habang naglalakad. I wasn't aware of my surroundings. Wala akong maramdaman dahil unti-unti ko pa ring nagproproseso ang mga nalaman ko.

"Sunny?" Si Tita Divine, isa siyang Pediatrician.

"Are you okay?" she asked, worried

All I could do was nod my head. Pakiramdam ko kasi pag nagsalita ako ay manginginig ang boses ko.

"Why are you here? Okay ka lang ba talaga?" nag-aalala niyang tanong

Wala akong nagawa kundi tumango. Ramdam ko ang pag-init ng sulok ng aking mga mata. Parang ilang segundo lang ay papatak na ang mga luhang kanina pang gustong kumawala. Siguro ay napansin niya ang pamumula ng aking mga mata kaya niya ako hinila at niyakap.

"Tell me what's wrong" she rubbed my back.

Dinala niya ako sa loob ng opisina niya at doon kami nag-usap. Pinakita ko sa kanya ang mga binigay sa akin ng doctor. I told her everything that Dr. Santos told me.

"Oh my, God!" naghihina niyang saad "Alam na ba ito nila Arthur?"

"No! Please, Tita. I'm begging you don't tell them yet." hinawakan ko ang mga kamay niya "Hindi ko pa kayang sabihin sa kanila. Ayokong masaktan sila Mommy. Please"

Pati siya ay namumula na rin ang mga mata. Hinila niya ako at niyakap.

"Did you at least inform Thunder about this?" she asked

Umiling ako "Wala pa pong nakakaalam. Ayoko na munang sabihin sa kanila. Natatakot ako."

"Sunny" sinapo niya ang magkabilang pisngi ko "Kailangan mong sabihin sa kanila ang condition mo. Hindi mo pwedeng itago ito."

"I know" I rubbed my face in frustration "I know, Tita. I'm just looking for the right time. Or maybe I can just face this on my own."

"We both know that you can't do that." she said firmly "In your case, you need someone beside you while going through this. Hindi ka pwedeng mag-isa. Kailangan mo ng aalalay sayo. Hindi ito biro."
