Momentary Bliss

30th

Dumating si Tan moments after. We sorted things out. I apologized for being such a brat. Things went well between us. Nothing wrong happened so it was all good.

The next day, off ko so I won't need to wake up early. I had a dream. A good one, well, thats what I thought.

"I'll go somewhere for now. I'll be back." Tan said and kissed my forehead.
"Promise me you'll be back." I said and fainted a smile.
"Of course." He pulled me for a hug.

Nakahiga ako while figuring out where Tristan went. He told me in such a short notice kaya nakakagulat.

Someone knocked on my door.

"Viv?" Leah said.
"Alis tayo saglit!" Micah shouted.
"Kakain lang tayo." Leah said and opened the door.
"Sige, bihis lang ako saglit." I said at tumayo na.

I chose a white top and shorts. Simple lang since kakain lang naman daw.

I texted Tan too. I told him Leah and Micah's plans. He didn't reply though.

Nakarating kami sa isang restaurant but there were only a few people there. Eli was there too. Umupo na kami and I observed that Leah and Eli are really a good couple while Micah on the other side is on her phone texting someone. For sure its her boyfriend.

I received a text message. Tiningnan ko iyon and saw that it was from Tan.

Baby Tan:

Still have lots to do here. Enjoy kayo. I miss you.

:

I miss you too! Take care, baby.

We waiter for minutes before our food came. Natapos namin kainin iyon after an hour or so. Leah, Micah and Ei said that they want to go somewhere. Pero hindi na ako sumama since I'm not in the mood at all.

"I'll get a taxi on the way home. Ingat kayo." I said and smiled before magpara ng taxi.

Nakasakay na ako and hindi padin sinasabi ni Tan saakin kung saan siya pumunta so I was left so curious. What if something happens to him? I shook my head to let that thought go away.

After some time, narating ko na din ang condo. Pumasok na ako sa unit namin. Nagpahinga ako. I didn't notice na nakatulog na pala ako.

Pag gising ko ay madaling araw na. I looked at my phone and was shocked to see so many miss calls from Tan, Ate Kath and Riley. Tinawagan ko si Tan but he wasn't answering. Ate Kath on the other hand is busy. So si Riley and tinawagan ko. He picked up kaya nakahinga ako ng maayos ayos.

"Why did you call?" I asked.
"Vivianne." He said and bitterness was evident in his voice.
"What? Spill it!" I demanded.
"Si Sir Tristan." He said. I heard Ate Kath sobbing on the other line.
"Shit! Ano nangyari?" I asked na sobrang natataranta na.
"Well, kasi... He's in the hospital now." Riley said.
"Tell me the address. I'll go there right away." I said and hurried to go outside.

Ginamit ko na ang sasakyan ko kahit hirap ako makakita sa daan because of the tears that are falling.

Pumasok na ako sa hospital not minding the people looking at me. Nagtanong ako sa isang nurse kung saan ang room ni Tan. Tumakbo na ako papunta sa room number na iyon and I saw Tristan's parents, Ate Kath and Riley sitting there without any emotion on their faces.

Tiningnan ko si Tan and I cried seeing him unconscious on the hospital bed.

"Tan, please wake up." I said while crying and tapping him.
"I'm here. Please wake up!" I said and cried my heart out.

What the he'll happened? I asked myself multiple times.

I heard a lot of sobbing so I looked at them. Tiningnan ko din ang monitor to see if Tan is stable. Pero napatakip ako ng bibig when I saw a flat line. The moment I was supposed to scream for Tan's name, I woke up.
