Nginuya Ngunit Hindi Nilunok!!! [COMPLETED]

Dear Name

Kinahapunan. Sa hotel clinic. Nagtanggal na ng hospital gown si Somi at nakapambahay na ulit.

Nurse1: Somi iha. Okay ka na ba talaga? Pwede ka na sumali ulit sa activities kung gusto mo.

Somi: Thank you po. Okay na po ako.

Hani: Pero pwedeng hindi siya sumali? Tapos pwede bang bantayan ko na lang siya sa room namin?

Nurse2: Tanungin niyo yung teacher niyo.

Palabas na sana sila Somi ng biglang tawagin ni IU ito.

IU: Somi...

Hihinto si Somi ngunit hindi titingin.

Somi: What?

IU: Thank you.

Somi: For?

IU: I heard you. Nung nalaglag tayo. I heard you. "IU, straighten your legs. Deretso mo. Bilis" You spoke so fast and you managed to shout that while we were falling. You saved me.

Somi: You're imagining things IU. Just get better so your guardian can stop threatening me.

Lalabas si Somi at iirap si Hani kay IU bago sumunod dito. Si Jenjie na nakapikit at nakasandal sa upuan sa tabi ni IU ay biglang magsasalita.

Jenjie: Totoo ba yun?

IU: AY KABAYO! Kanina ka pa gising?

Jenjie: Did she really say that, Jieun?

IU: Oo Nini. She even tried to grab me para deretso kaming babagsak pareho.

Jenjie: Maybe she was trying to grab you para itulak ka.

IU: She was trying to save me, Nini.

Jenjie: Do you have proof?

Bubuntong hininga si IU at habang nakaside view ay babatukan si Jenjie.

Jenjie: Aray. Bakit?

IU: Nini. Alam mo ba ibig sabihin ng pangalan ko?

Jenjie: Ng IU? Ako at ikaw?

IU: Hindi yun. Yung totoong pangalan ko.

Ngingiti si Jenjie.

Jenjie: Jieunie?

IU: Yes. Do you know what it means?

Jenjie to self: Kindness, mercy, charity...

IU: It means to be kind to everyone. To be merciful when they do you wrong. To give what you can without expecting anything in return.

Jenjie: Ang ganda naman ng meaning ng name mo.

IU: Just because my batch mates keep being rude to me, doesn't mean I should be mean to them. I've seen them be kind to each other naman. Si Somi, she's beautiful, she's smart. And she's loyal to her friends. Ako lang siguro talaga yung may problema.

Jenjie: No Jieun, walang problema sayo. Masyado ka ngang mabait e. Sa attempt mong iligtas siya, ikaw yung mas napahamak. Hindi siya deserving nun.

IU: Kindness is given not because it's deserved. And mercy is when someone deserves punishment but you let them off the hook.

Jenjie: Your name again. Why do you desperately want to live by it?

Titignan nila mabuti ang isa't-isa. May makikitang bahid ng lungkot si Jenjie sa ngiti ni Jieun.

IU: I won't be receiving anymore gifts from my parents. My name is probably one of the best ones they've given me. It's very dear to me. Wala kong balak sirain ang pangalan ko.
