Chapter 5

Thirdy

What Bea said earlier bothered me. 1:27 am na pero hindi pa din ako makatulog. I know I should've said something pero hindi ko ginawa. Maybe that was what's bothering me ngayon.

I'm regretting that I had the chance to actually say something pero di ko ginawa. stupid, thirdy. Tanga mo.

Nakaupo ako ngayon habang nasa harap ko si teddy. Yung teddy bear ko. Yes, I still own one and I can't sleep without it. I groaned and closed my eyes.

I got nervous. Yung kaba ko kanina abot langit. I didn't want her to feel my heartbeat raising every time I looked at her because she was... simply beautiful. 

I couldn't handle those chinky eyes that were looking at me, the way her pink lips moved and her small nose making her so damn adorable.

"Ugh.. may sinabi dapat ako kanina diba?" frustated kong kinausap si teddy.

All of a sudden my phone rang.

"Hello, tita?"

It was Bea's mom.

"Thirdy? are you awake?" the shaking of her voice made me jump up from my bed.

"Tita, okay lang po ba kayo? what happened?" deretso kong tanong.

"We just landed in Hongkong and as much as I want to go back hindi pwede." sabi niya. Kahit di niya ako nakikita I was nodding my head.

"Is there something wrong?" nagaalala kong tanong.

"I-its bea.." mahina niyang sabi. The moment she said her name I wore my slippers and took the jacket that was hanging on the chair and my car keys.

"Why tita? what happened?" seryoso kong tanong.

"Kakareceive ko lang ng mga text niya pati mga kasambahay na mataas daw lagnat niya. thirdy.. your tito, kuya loel and I are here for business wala-" I didn't let her finish.

"Im on my way, tita." pagkatapos ko sabihin yon I heard her sigh in relief.

Lagnat? Bakit siya nilagnat? masermonan nga mamaya.

"Is that thirdy? what did he say? can I speak with him?" rinig kong sabi ni tito Elmer sa background.

"Pagbaba ko ng hagdaan naabutan kong nagtitimpla ng kape si mama. She looked at me but didn't ask. Nilayo ko muna ang cellphone bago kinausap si mama.

"Ma, Bea has fever and wala sila tita. Can I go check on her? they're worried." nagulat din siya sa sinabi ko. Worried is now painted all over her face.

"Wait for me." sabi niya sabay akyat. Tumango na ako because it's better to have her there.

"Hello?" I heard tito sa kabilang side ng phone.

"Yes, tito?"

"Thirdy, she seldom gets fever you know that but when she does it's always high. If it reaches 38 to 39 please take her to the hospital. Im sure it won't go down anytime soon pag ganon na temperature niya." pagreremind niya sakin.

"Is there anything I should buy for her to eat or drink to help tito?" he paused before answering.

"She needs to drink Wheatgrass. She hates it pero I'm sure you can convince her. I'll call our family doctor to get her checked first thing in the morning."

I nodded.

"Okay tito, I will." sabi ko. I was waiting for my mom sa loob ng sasakyan.

"Please take care of her." pakiusap ni tito even though he didn't have to.
