What If (St. Mary's U Series #1)

Chapter 27

"Are you sure you're fine na?" tanong ni Carlynn sa telepono. "Our friends visited you at the hospital, but you were sleeping and they said they don't want to disturb you so they didn't wake you up."

"Yeah, I am." I lazily answered. Ilang beses na ba ako natanong kung okay na ako? I can't count anymore.

But then, I'm thankful because my family and friends are concerned for me. "Tita mentioned that to me nang magising ako. Sino-sino sila no'n?"

"Actually, it was only Austin, Khalil, and Benj. Chan and I couldn't visit you because she needs to finish a report. And I volunteered to help her. Alam mo na kailangan niya bumawi for her absences."

"It's alright and I understand. Alam ko naman na importante yung report niya. Besides, what happened to me wasn't something serious." Itinaas ko na ang paa ko na mula sa pool, umiinit na kasi dahil malapit na mag tanghali.

"Aw, so understanding naman..." She teased and paused a bit. "By the way, I'll be sending you the lecs you missed on your email, okay? Don't forget to read those kasi may quiz tayo next week!"

"Okay. Thanks, Lynn. Babawi ako sa pagbalik ko sa school."

"Welcome! Can't wait for that." She laughed. "See you on Monday!" she said then hung up the phone.

Pumasok na ako sa loob ng bahay dahil masakit na sa balat ang init ng araw sa may pool area.

"Euri, mamaya na pala ang dating nila Ma'am Lianna at Sir Nathan." Yaya reminded me.

I flashed a tight smile. "I know, Yaya."

Nilapitan ako ni Yaya, hinawakan ang dalawang kamay ko. "Eh kung ganoon, bakit hindi ka mukhang masaya?"

Nagbaba ako ng tingin, and bit my lower lip. "Basta, Yaya. Secret na muna sa ngayon. I want to talk to my parents first."

"O sya sige. Pero kumain ka muna ng agahan. Naghanda na kami nila Manang Linda ng pagkain." She dragged my hand and we went to the dining room.

Immediately, I removed my hand from Yaya's grip when I saw my brother. He was sipping his coffee and halted after seeing me. I was about to turn my back and leave the dining when he spoke.

"Have a seat." He cocked his head.

Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang tahimik na umupo sa kaharap na upuan niya. He gave me a hot dog, bacon and garlic rice and placed it on my plate.

"Thanks." I mumbled.

We ate breakfast silently. Very unusual and unlike our normal days. As long as I haven't heard their explanation, I can't act normal around them. I'm sorry, Kuya.

What they did was wrong. They should've helped me remember. And I want to know if my dreams are part of my memories. I need clarification.

I was in the middle of watching a movie in the living room when I heard the gates opened, then a few minutes later the front door followed.

The househelps walked near the door and greet my parents. "Good morning, Sir... Good morning, Ma'am."

Pagkatapos niyon, kinuha na nila iyong mga maleta nila Mommy at dinala sa taas sa kwarto nila.

Meanwhile, Kuya Prix went downstairs and kissed Mom on her cheeks and greet our Dad. "Hey, Mom...Dad, welcome back."

Lumapit na rin ako at nag beso kay Mommy at Daddy. "How's your flight po?"

Pagod akong nginitian ni Mommy. "It was tiring, honey. Oh by the way, I'm glad nakalabas ka na ng hospital. Let's talk later okay? I'll just sleep some more."
